Alright, so this whole “September for Pisces” thing? Man, it wasn’t some fancy big-shot astrologer telling me what’s up. Nah, this was me, trying to figure things out for myself, piece by piece, for the fish signs out there, especially my buddy Mark.
It all kicked off a few months back. Mark, he’s a total Pisces, always kinda dreamy, but lately he was just stuck, you know? Kept calling me up, asking, “What’s coming, man? What’s the universe got for me?” And I’d just shrug. But it got me thinking. I’m not some guru, but I’ve always been observant. So I figured, why not try to map out some patterns, some vibes, for his sign, specifically for September?
My “practice” started pretty low-key. First thing I did was just plain listen. I listened to Mark, listened to other Pisces folks I knew, listened to how they talked about their lives, their worries, their hopes. I started noticing themes. For Pisces, it’s always this push and pull between wanting to float away into dreams and needing to plant their feet on solid ground. September, it just felt like one of those months where that tension gets cranked up a notch.
Then I decided to dig deeper. Not by getting a bunch of expensive astrology books – nah, that’s not my style. I remembered my grandma had this old, dusty almanac. Not specifically astrology, more like folk wisdom and lunar cycles, you know? I pulled that thing out. It had all these notes scribbled in the margins from her. I just started reading, trying to feel the rhythm of the year as it was laid out. It talked about harvests, about rest, about preparing for colder times. I tried to connect that vibe to what I was hearing from my Pisces friends.
Next up, I literally started watching the sky a bit more. I ain’t saying I became an astronomer, but I’d step outside at night, look at the moon, just observe. How it changed, how it felt. I tracked the moon phases, not in a scientific way, but more like, how did my own mood, or the general atmosphere, feel during a new moon versus a full moon? And then, I tried to overlay that with what I knew about Pisces – super sensitive to those kinds of shifts.
I started jotting stuff down. Just a messy notebook, really. Dates, feelings, little observations. For example, I noticed a lot of Pisces folks felt a bit more pulled back, more introspective, as summer started to wind down. Like they were sensing a shift, even before the leaves turned. So I circled those dates, those feelings.
The Scrambling and Piecing Together
The real work, the “practice” of making it a “guide,” was the scrambling. I had all these bits and pieces: Mark’s worries, grandma’s almanac, my sky observations, and my messy notes. I needed to turn it into something coherent for September.
I started to categorize things. What about relationships? What about work and money? What about just plain old personal well-being? For Pisces, relationships always feel like a big one. They’re so empathetic, they soak up everything. So I started thinking about September as a time they might need to set some boundaries, to protect that sensitive energy.
Then came the part where I tried to translate these observations into actionable thoughts. Not telling them what to do, just giving them something to chew on. Like, if September felt like a time for introspection, then maybe the advice wasn’t “go out and party,” but more like “take some quiet time, journal, listen to your gut.” If finances seemed a bit murky, it was more about “don’t make impulsive decisions, slow down, review.”
I distinctly remember one afternoon, I was sitting there, trying to make sense of it all. I had scribbled “Pisces September: Balance dream + reality.” And that was it. That became the central theme. Everything else just branched off from that. How do they balance their deep intuition with the everyday grind? How do they avoid getting overwhelmed by other people’s stuff when they’re so good at feeling it?
I even threw in a little something about “self-care” because that always seemed crucial for them. They’re always giving so much, they forget to refill their own cup. So I explicitly thought about how September’s energy could impact that, and what simple things they could do to stay afloat.
The Finishing Touch, My Way
By the time I was done, it wasn’t some rigid prediction. It was more like a friendly heads-up, a collection of insights I gathered from different corners. It was me trying to offer a sense of direction, based on what I felt, saw, and heard. I wrote it all down, just like I’m telling you now, in simple terms. No fancy words, no big prophecies. Just a look at September for Pisces, through my own eyes, after a lot of listening and looking around.
I showed it to Mark first. He read it, looked up, and just nodded. “Yeah, man,” he said, “that actually kinda makes sense.” And that’s all I needed. That was my practice, start to finish, for putting this guide together.
