Man, lemme tell you, getting ready for what 2025 might dish out, especially for my Pisces pals and myself, wasn’t some quick read from a glossy magazine. Nah, this was a whole personal project, a deep dive, a real grind to try and figure stuff out. I ain’t no professional stargazer, but after what I went through a few years back, I just started needing to understand the currents, you know?
I remember back in 2022, things just hit me hard. My old job, a stable gig I thought was set for life, just… went sideways. Overnight, it felt like the floor dropped out from under me. Money got tight, real tight. I was staring at the ceiling many nights, wondering what the hell to do. A friend, bless her heart, kept telling me, “It’s just the stars, man, transits are kicking your butt.” I usually rolled my eyes at that kind of talk, but when you’re desperate, you start looking under every rock. That’s what got me started.
I began by just poking around online, reading some basic stuff about Mercury retrogrades and moon phases. It was all a bunch of mumbo jumbo at first, honestly. But then, I stumbled upon some older texts, not the flashy pop-astrology kind, but proper heavy books. My old man, bless his soul, used to have a dusty box of weird old books in the attic. I went up there, started rummaging, and lo and behold, found a couple of worn-out astrology tomes. They were dense, like reading a foreign language. But something in me just clicked; I felt like I had to figure it out.
So, my “practice” began. I’d pull out these books, often late at night after everyone else was asleep. I’d grab my old notebook, the kind with the cheap paper, and just start copying down stuff. I copied symbols I didn’t understand, drew planetary glyphs, sketched out zodiac wheels. I was basically trying to reverse-engineer this ancient system from scratch. I’d read a passage about Jupiter moving into Aries and then try to find another book that explained it, cross-referencing, like a detective on a weird case. It was messy, I’m telling you. My notebook became a jungle of scribbles, question marks, and sudden little “aha!” moments.
Then I moved onto trying to track actual planetary movements. I found some online tools, really clunky ones at first, that showed where the planets were. My goal was simple: Could I see a connection between what was happening in the sky and what was happening in my life, or in the lives of my friends? I’d pick a specific day, look at the moon sign, the sun sign, then note down what kind of vibes that day had. “Argument with the landlord? Oh, Mars was squaring something.” “Got a surprise call? Maybe Uranus doing its thing.” It felt like I was building a weird kind of personal weather map, but for my inner world.
I remember focusing hard on Pisces, being one myself. I started tracing its connections to Neptune, its planetary ruler, and how it danced with other big players like Saturn and Jupiter. I was looking for patterns, rhythms. I’d mark down major transits for Pisces, like when Saturn moved through it or when Jupiter formed a nice trine. It was like I was charting a long-term forecast, not just daily. I was trying to piece together a narrative for the year ahead, especially 2025, which felt like a pivotal one after all the crazy stuff leading up to it.
This wasn’t always smooth sailing. Some nights, I’d just get frustrated, slam the book shut. “This is hogwash!” I’d mutter. But something always pulled me back. Maybe it was the hope, or maybe just the sheer stubbornness. There were moments of pure clarity though. I recall one night, I was looking at Jupiter’s movement for 2025 and something just clicked. I saw how it would move through a certain house for Pisces, activating areas of growth and expansion, then shift. And it made so much sense, connecting it to things I was already feeling, things I wanted to happen.
The whole process of getting “ready” for 2025, of trying to decipher this Pisces horoscope, it became my way of taking control, of feeling like I wasn’t just a leaf blowing in the wind. I didn’t just read some quick blurb; I built up my own understanding, bit by bit, scribble by scribble. It made me feel like I had a heads-up, a personal map for the terrain ahead. When I talk about “getting ready for a big year,” I mean I literally spent all that time preparing my own mind and spirit for whatever lies ahead, using these old tools to chart my own path.
