November rolled around, and for some reason, I just felt compelled to dive into this whole “Pisces November Monthly (Your Look)” idea. You know that feeling when you just want to really get a grip on something personal, see what makes you tick? That was pretty much it. I kept hearing all this talk about Pisces season, or what it means to be a Pisces, and I figured, hey, why not actually track it, from my own personal experience, for a whole month?
So, the first thing I did was grab a fresh notebook. Nothing fancy, just a cheap one from the corner store. I decided this wasn’t going to be some strict scientific project, just a raw, honest look. My “practice” for the month was simple: every single day in November, I’d take some time to jot things down. I started with a basic idea: record my moods, any weird dreams I had, what felt intuitive, and what creative sparks I felt. I really wanted to pay attention to those gut feelings that I usually just ignore or overthink. This was about not overthinking and just recording.
Every morning, as soon as I could, I’d try to recall my dreams and just scribble them down. Sometimes they were vivid, sometimes just fragments, but I got them on paper. Then, throughout the day, I kept my notebook handy. If I felt a sudden rush of emotion, whether it was joy or sadness, I’d quickly note it. If an idea for a story or a drawing popped into my head, I’d get that down too. It wasn’t about perfect grammar or beautiful handwriting; it was about capturing the raw essence of what was happening inside me. I made myself sit down in the evenings too, just to reflect on the day, what interactions felt significant, or what art I was drawn to. It was a conscious effort to just observe myself.
After about a week of this, I started noticing things. Patterns, you know? I’d have days where I felt incredibly empathetic, like I could just feel what everyone else was going through, sometimes to the point of exhaustion. Then other days, I’d just want to retreat, pull away from everyone and just be in my own little world. My creative side definitely got a boost; I found myself sketching more, even writing short, random bits of poetry, which I hadn’t touched in years. The “sponge effect” was real too – I really felt like I was soaking up the vibes of everyone around me, for better or worse. It was all getting written down, no judgment.
Around the middle of the month, I decided it was time to actually dig through what I’d recorded. This was the “your look” part, the review. I sat down with my messy notebook and just started reading through my own scribbles. It was wild, seeing my emotional landscape laid out day by day. I could see where my intuition had really been trying to tell me something, and often, it had been spot on. I also noticed how sometimes my more “dreamy” or “floaty” days were actually when I needed to slow down, not push myself. I even started thinking about what clothes I picked out, wondering if they matched the inner “Pisces vibe” of that day. It was all contributing to this personal “look” – not just outside, but inside.
It wasn’t all smooth sailing, though. There were plenty of days I just completely forgot to write anything. Or I felt too tired, or just plain didn’t want to confront whatever emotions were bubbling up. Sometimes, the sheer amount of feelings I was absorbing from others just overwhelmed me, and I’d just shut down and not write a single word. But then, I’d have these moments of pure clarity, where something I’d written down a few days earlier suddenly made perfect sense. Like realizing my procrastination wasn’t laziness; it was often a sign I was emotionally drained. That was a big win for understanding myself better.
By the end of November, I had this hefty notebook. It was a complete mess of thoughts, dreams, feelings, and random observations, but it was my mess. This whole “Pisces November Monthly (Your Look)” journey turned into a solid, unvarnished record of how I navigated a month just by leaning into who I am, as a Pisces, and really paying attention. I wasn’t trying to fix anything or become someone else; I just wanted to observe. And that observation gave me a whole new perspective on my own internal workings. It really helped me appreciate the good stuff, like my natural creativity and empathy, and also to understand the trickier parts, like my tendency to withdraw or get easily overwhelmed.
So, yeah, that was my November. It started with a simple idea, and it ended with a notebook full of scribbles and a much clearer, raw picture of what it’s truly like to walk around in my own head and heart, day in and day out, especially during a month that always feels a little bit like a dream.
