Alright folks, it’s that time again, October! And you know what that means for me. It’s not just about pumpkin spice everything; it’s about diving into the cosmic soup to figure out what’s cooking for our dear Pisceans. Every month, around the end of the previous one, I buckle down and get into my zone to put these horoscopes together. It’s a whole thing, not just some random guess!
First off, I gotta set the mood. You know how it is. Can’t just rush into this stuff. I usually grab my oldest, most beat-up astrology book – the one with all the dog-eared pages and my scribbled notes in the margins. It’s less about checking exact planetary positions, and more about just getting myself in the headspace, you know? Like, soaking in the general vibe. I’ll usually light a candle, something calming, maybe frankincense or lavender, just to clear the air and get my head straight.
Then, I just sit there for a bit, maybe five, ten minutes, just thinking about Pisces. What are their core vibes? Dreamy, sensitive, artistic, always flowing. I picture them, like actual fish, swimming through life. What kind of waters are they gonna encounter in October? Is it gonna be rough currents, or smooth sailing? I try to feel that out before I even look at anything specific.
Getting Down to Business: The Initial Read
Once I feel properly aligned, that’s when I start my actual “reading.” I pull up a general astrological calendar – nothing fancy, just a basic one that shows the major planet movements for the month. I’m looking for anything big affecting water signs, or anything that clashes with Pisces’ natural watery flow. New moons, full moons, retrogrades – those are always key players. It’s like mapping out the weather for the month, but for feelings and opportunities instead of rain.
- I first scan for any strong Mars or Saturn activity. Those two can bring a lot of energy, sometimes a bit pushy or challenging, which sensitive Pisces can really feel.
- Then I check out Venus and Mercury. Venus for love and money, Mercury for communication. What are they doing? Are they in friendly signs? Are they chill?
- The big one, Jupiter, always gets my attention. Jupiter means expansion and luck. Is it playing nice with Pisces? Is it offering any big opportunities?
I don’t dig super deep into every single conjunction or trine, I’m more about the overall flavor. What’s the general energy shift? Is it a time for quiet introspection, or a push for outward action? For October, I started noticing a lot of shifts around partnerships and personal ambition. That immediately flagged for me that Pisceans might be feeling a pull between their own dreams and the needs of others.
Drafting the Sections: From Love to Life
This is where the real writing starts. I open up my trusty document and just start typing, section by section. I tackle love first, because let’s be honest, for Pisceans, relationships are often front and center. I think about what the planetary energies might mean for their romantic lives. Are they more likely to deepen existing bonds, or maybe form new, unexpected connections?
For October, I felt a strong undercurrent of deep emotional work. So, I’d write about how existing relationships could face moments of intense honesty, pushing Pisceans to really look at what they want and need. For the single Pisceans, it felt like a time where they might attract someone who really “gets” them on a soul level, rather than just a superficial fling.
Next up is career and money. Are there opportunities brewing? Any financial bumps to watch out for? I translated the general “ambition” energy I felt into practical advice. October looked like a month where Pisceans might need to speak up more at work, or perhaps get creative with their financial planning. It’s not about huge windfalls, but more about steady, smart moves.
Then I move onto health and well-being. With all that emotional stuff going on, self-care is always crucial for Pisces. I’d emphasize rest, creative outlets, and maybe even a good detox. I try to make it sound like a friendly reminder, not a stern lecture.
Pulling it All Together: The Final Polish
Finally, I write the general overview and the “lucky days” or “watch out” days. These are usually based on when the Moon enters Pisces or other major supportive or challenging aspects. I just eyeball it, really. It’s less about precise timing and more about giving a gentle nudge when the energy feels particularly strong, either way.
After I’ve got all the sections drafted, I read through the whole thing, top to bottom. I’m checking for flow, for tone, for anything that sounds too harsh or too vague. I want it to feel encouraging, like I’m talking directly to a friend. I make sure it sounds like me, you know? A little bit rough around the edges, a bit informal. I adjust words, move sentences around, whatever it takes for it to feel right in my gut.
It’s a process that takes a few hours each month, but it’s a labor of love. I really do try to tap into that cosmic energy and translate it into something helpful for everyone. And when I finish, I always feel a sense of satisfaction, hoping that my little insights can help guide our Pisceans through their October journey.
