Catching the Pisces Vibe: Why I Even Bothered
Look, I know some of you think this horoscope stuff is total bunk, and honestly, a few years ago, I was right there with you. But I’m all about logging what actually works for getting your butt moving, and lately, these New Moon cycles have been giving me the kick I need. This recent Pisces New Moon? I decided to really commit, not just write down a vague wish, but turn it into a solid action plan.
I started noticing the chatter maybe three days before the actual New Moon. Everywhere I looked—my feed, my email, even a random conversation at the coffee shop—was talking about Pisces energy, dreaming big, and cleaning house emotionally. Pisces is watery, right? It’s about letting go of what’s holding you back and visualizing the impossible. My main goal right now is massive stability—I need to land that long-term retainer client I’ve been pitching for six months, the one that guarantees the budget for the next two years.
This wasn’t about wishing for money to fall from the sky. It was about using the cosmic push to finally finish the scary, difficult work I’d been putting off.
The first thing I did was gather my tools. That sounds fancy, but really, I just grabbed a clean notebook—not the messy one with meeting notes—and a pen that actually works. I also set a strict time limit. I locked myself away in the spare room for exactly forty-five minutes on the night of the New Moon. No phone, no music, just quiet focus.
The Core Practice: Writing It Down and Burning the Old Stuff
I didn’t just scribble a few things down. I forced structure into the dreams. The typical advice is to write 10 goals, but I decided to categorize them based on the Pisces themes: letting go and bringing in.
I started with the “letting go” list. This felt cleansing. I wrote down three habits I needed to ditch immediately:
- Procrastinating on the detailed financial projections for that big client pitch.
- Worrying about what competitors are doing instead of focusing on my lane.
- Letting unread emails pile up past 5 PM.
Then came the manifesting list. This is where I got super specific. I didn’t write, “I want more money.” I wrote the contract amount, the date I want to sign it, and the exact services I would provide. You have to treat the universe like a consultant you’re hiring—you have to provide a detailed scope of work.
I finished the writing session by reading the 10 goals out loud, not whispering them, but speaking them like I was already announcing the achievement to someone. I closed the notebook and put it somewhere I wouldn’t touch it again until the Full Moon.
Here’s the gross part that surprisingly helped: I took the “letting go” list and, safely in the sink, I burned the piece of paper. Watching those bad habits turn to ash felt incredibly physical and final. It sounds dramatic, but it was a great mental shift. I literally saw the old anxieties smoke away.
The Follow-Through: Turning Intuition into Action
The New Moon energy only does the ignition; you have to drive the car. I knew the ritual was useless unless I paired it with immediate action. Pisces energy is also about intuition and following those gut feelings you usually ignore.
The very next morning, I woke up early and pulled up that retainer client pitch deck. I had been avoiding the finance section because it required some serious number crunching and risk assessment. Since I had physically burned the procrastination goal the night before, I felt compelled to tackle it first thing. I worked for four hours straight without checking social media—which is a miracle for me.
Next, I had an old voice in my head telling me to reach out to three specific people who could introduce me to the right decision-makers at that target company. These were people I had put off contacting because I felt like I was imposing.
I drafted three super direct, zero-fluff emails. I hit send before lunch, giving myself no time to second-guess the outreach. If I had waited, I guarantee I would have talked myself out of it. The New Moon just pushed me past the hesitation point.
The Payoff: The Universe Met Me Halfway
What happened next was exactly the kind of coincidence that makes you wonder if there’s something to this energy stuff. It wasn’t instant—it took about five days.
One of the people I had emailed—an old colleague I hadn’t spoken to in over a year—didn’t introduce me to the big retainer client, but he did something else completely unexpected. He emailed me back saying he was just starting a brand new project and desperately needed exactly my specialized service for a six-week sprint.
The contract he sent over? It was half the length of my main goal, but the rate was exactly what I had written down in my notebook as a minimum required hourly fee. It landed me the crucial revenue bridge I needed, buying me the time and stability to keep pitching the big retainer without panic.
I realized the manifestation didn’t come exactly how I drew it up, but it brought the necessary component—financial relief—through a different door. It forced me to stop stressing about the big whale and focus on securing the immediate stability I had asked for.
So, the practice worked. But not because of magic dust. It worked because the focused intention of the Pisces New Moon ritual forced me to break bad habits, ignore my fear, and take action immediately. That’s the real secret. Use the energy to overcome inertia, and the universe will meet you with an opportunity.
