Diving Deep into My Pisces Second House Music Career Journey
So, you saw the title, right? Pisces in the Second House and trying to make it in music. Sounds kinda mystical and maybe a bit messy, and honestly, it kinda is. But look, I’m here to tell you how I navigated this whole thing, step-by-step, because for real, it wasn’t easy, but totally doable if you stick with it.
When I first looked into what Pisces in the Second House meant for money and career, it was all about feeling good about the income, less about the strict structure. Think creative flow, intuition, and maybe a little bit of instability if you don’t anchor yourself down. My early attempts? Man, they were pure chaos.
The Messy Beginning: Intuition Over Business
I started out just writing tunes, like non-stop. Didn’t care about the market, didn’t care about promotion—just pure, unadulterated creativity. And guess what? Zero income. I was pouring my soul into demos and giving them away for free, thinking the universe would somehow pay my rent. Classic Pisces move, right?
- First major realization: Intuition is great, but bills are real. I needed a plan.
- What I did: I actually sat down and tracked every single hour I spent on music. Not to restrict myself, but to see where the time was actually going. Turns out, 80% was jamming, 20% was actual business stuff like contacting people or trying to book gigs. That ratio had to flip.
Switching Gears: Structuring the Flow
This was the hardest part for me because structure feels like anti-Pisces. But I forced myself to treat music like a real job. I needed to monetize the talent, not just dream about it.
Step One: Getting Paid for the Craft. I started small. Teaching lessons. It wasn’t the big stage, but it was consistent money coming directly from my musical skill. This was crucial because it proved I could make an income doing what I loved, shifting the energy of that Second House from ‘dream income’ to ‘tangible income.’
Step Two: Finding the Right Niche. With Pisces, it’s often about feeling connected to what you produce. I realized that my most intuitive, emotionally deep tracks were the ones people reacted to most strongly. I stopped chasing trends and started doubling down on that atmospheric, slightly melancholic sound that came naturally. I focused my production efforts entirely there.
Recording and Releasing: The DIY Route
I didn’t have a label budget, so everything was DIY. This is where the sharing part comes in. I figured if I was going to fail, I might as well document the process.
I bought a decent interface and a couple of mics. The key was consistency. I set a schedule: one new piece of content (a song, a short video, whatever) every week. This forced the structure I lacked.
- The Release Strategy: Instead of dumping a whole album and crossing my fingers, I focused on singles. More touchpoints, more chances for that intuitive connection with listeners.
- The Sharing Practice: I used social media not just to promote, but to share the feeling behind the music. Pisces thrives on emotion and connection. I talked about why I wrote the songs, the mood, the inspiration. This built a small but fiercely loyal audience. They weren’t just buying music; they were buying into the vibe.
The Financial Shift and Long-Term View
The money didn’t flood in overnight, obviously. But the income from lessons, small licensing deals for my tracks, and those regular micro-payments from streaming started becoming reliable. It moved from being ‘fun money’ to ‘rent money.’
My biggest tip for anyone else with this placement trying to make it: Integrate the spiritual with the practical. Don’t just chase the dollar, chase the genuine connection that feels right, but make sure every creative act has a clear path to generating value, even if it’s just generating strong engagement. Once I stopped separating the dreaming from the doing, things finally clicked. Now, I spend my days writing, producing, and actually getting paid for that deep, watery creative energy. It’s hard work, but finally, it feels like I’m flowing with the current, not against it.
