Man, lemme tell ya, for years I’ve been a total sucker for Susan Miller’s monthly horoscopes. Especially for us Pisceans, right? Like, every end of the month, or first week of the new one, I’d be glued to my screen, waiting for that long, detailed read. I mean, who wouldn’t wanna peek at what the universe might have cookin’ for them? I’d read it, nod along, think “yeah, that sounds like me,” and then, honestly, I’d pretty much forget half of it a week later.
I’d catch snippets, sure. Like, “Oh, Mercury retrograde gonna mess things up,” or “Big career breakthrough this month!” But did I really track it? Did I see how it played out? Nah. It was more like a fun little story to get me through the month, a sort of mental snack. And after a while, I started feelin’ like I was missing the point. Was it just entertainment, or was there something more I could get out of it?
I found myself getting frustrated. She’d mention these big windows of opportunity or challenging periods, and I’d read it, think about it, but then life would just happen. A month later, I’d be like, “Wait, was that the ‘big career moment’ she talked about? Or was that just regular work?” Everything just kinda blended together. It wasn’t really helping me in any tangible way, and I felt like I was wasting all that deep-dive reading she put out.
So, one evening, I was sitting there, scrolling through a particularly dense forecast, and it just hit me. I needed to actually do something with this information. Just consuming it wasn’t enough. It was like reading a recipe but never going into the kitchen to cook. What was the point? I needed a way to make it real, to see if it even remotely connected to my own messy life. This was the moment my “practice” really kicked off.
I didn’t wanna get all complicated, you know? No fancy apps, no subscription services. Just a straightforward way to record and track. I grabbed one of my old notebooks, the kind you scribble thoughts in, and I just started. The idea was simple: list out the key predictions and themes for Pisces for the month, and then, as the days went by, jot down anything that felt remotely connected, big or small. It was pretty rough around the edges at first, just bullet points and dates.
My initial method involved going through the entire Susan Miller forecast for Pisces. I’d pick out the major themes: anything about money, career, relationships, health, travel, or big personal changes. I’d write down the exact dates she mentioned, or the periods, like “early month focus on home,” or “mid-month career opportunities.” I wasn’t just copying text; I was trying to translate her flowery language into simple, actionable bullet points for myself.
Then, the real work began. Every few days, or at least once a week, I’d open that notebook. I’d look at the predictions I’d written down, and then I’d ask myself, “Okay, what actually happened since I last checked?” Did I have a challenging conversation about money? Did a new work project suddenly appear? Did I feel particularly moody or energized around a specific date she highlighted? I’d just make simple notes next to her predictions, like “March 5: Had a tough chat with boss about project budget – predicted money issue?” or “March 15: Friend from out of town called out of the blue – predicted travel/unexpected contact?”
- Gathering the Forecast: First, I’d patiently wait for her full horoscope for Pisces to drop. This usually meant hitting refresh on her site or checking the newsletter.
- Extracting Key Points: I’d read through it thoroughly, pen in hand, highlighting or noting down all the specific dates, planetary movements she mentioned, and the corresponding areas of life (love, career, money, health).
- Translating to Simple Notes: I wouldn’t copy verbatim. Instead, I’d simplify, like turning “a potent conjunction of Mars and Venus in your eleventh house of hopes and wishes” into “strong energy for social goals/friendships around X date.”
- Daily/Weekly Review and Annotation: This was the crucial part. Regularly, I’d pull out my notes, reflect on the past few days or week, and just jot down actual events. “Got a promotion!” or “Argument with partner.” Or even just “Felt really tired today.”
- Cross-Referencing and Reflection: At the end of the month, or before the next forecast arrived, I’d do a full review. I’d look at my notes and her predictions, seeing where things seemed to line up, where they didn’t, and what insights I could pull from the overall picture.
What I started noticing was pretty wild. It wasn’t about everything being exactly as she said. That’s just not how life works, right? But what I found was that the themes she discussed, the general energies she talked about, often did resonate. If she said “focus on home and family,” I might not have moved houses, but maybe I spent more quality time with my folks, or finally fixed that leaky faucet. It shifted my perspective from looking for literal predictions to understanding overarching tides and currents in my life.
It made me way more aware of my own feelings and the events happening around me. Instead of just letting life pass by, I was actively observing, reflecting. It became less about “what will happen to me?” and more about “how am I experiencing these general energies she describes?” It was a profound shift. I realized the true value wasn’t in the prediction itself, but in the self-reflection and mindfulness it encouraged.
Now, this whole practice has become a regular ritual. It’s not about blind belief, not at all. It’s a tool for personal growth, honestly. It helps me slow down, think about my choices, and connect my internal state with the external world. I still love her forecasts for us Pisceans, but now, I don’t just consume them. I engage with them. I use them as a springboard for looking at my own life, noting the ups and downs, and finding my own patterns. It’s been one of the most unexpected and rewarding habits I’ve picked up over the years, turning a simple monthly read into a deep personal journey.
