Man, I got burned last year. Seriously. I decided to launch my biggest course yet, a huge passion project, and I picked what I thought was the perfect business time: mid-October. I had the marketing, the prep, the whole nine yards ready to go. I just knew it was going to hit big. Only, it didn’t. It completely crashed and burned. Sales were flat, the tech was glitchy, and I felt like I was rowing against a tidal wave the whole month.
I took a step back afterward and tried to figure out what the heck went wrong. I looked at the business plan, the ad spend, the funnel—all the usual suspects. Couldn’t find a major flaw. That’s when my old college buddy, who’s way into this stuff, just casually texted me: “Dude, October? That was one of the worst times for a Pisces to start anything new. You were smack in the middle of some heavy planetary nonsense.”
I usually shrug off that kind of talk, but the failure was so spectacular, I couldn’t ignore it. That single, massive screw-up in October forced me to change how I approach 2025 entirely. I wasn’t going to rely on just my calendar and business logic anymore. I decided to run an analysis, a complete, from-the-ground-up check of the major astrological dates for my sign, Pisces, and figure out exactly when the universe would actually be on my side. That’s the entire reason for this practice.
The Great Calendar Assault: Pulling Apart 2025
I kicked things off by cracking open my laptop and doing a deep dive. I spent an entire afternoon just pulling out the junk—the big, messy dates every sensible person needs to avoid. The first thing I hauled out was a list of all the Mercury Retrogrades (MRx). Those are absolute killers for tech launches, contracts, and communication, so I just grabbed my red marker and:
- I immediately slashed out the April to May window.
- I then deleted the August to early September period.
- And finally, I avoided the late November/December holiday chaos timeframe.
That right there cleared a big chunk of the year. My core belief is: if you can avoid the cosmic traffic jams, you’re already winning.
Next up, I went after the big deals: the Eclipses. Eclipses are like wild cards—major pivots, but often stressful. They hit hardest near your birthday. I spotted the big ones that hit near the Pisces/Virgo axis. I didn’t need to block the whole month, but I definitely fenced off the weeks immediately around them—those are for keeping my head down and not making major moves.
The Hunt for the Cosmic Green Light
Once I had all the red flags clearly marked, I started the real hunt: finding the power-up periods. This is where I pored over the major planet placements. I needed Venus (money, relationships, beauty) to be direct and strong, and I needed Mars (energy, action) to be giving me a push, not sitting in a lazy corner.
What I noticed first was that Jupiter, the planet of expansion and luck, spends a lot of 2025 in Gemini. While not a direct blast for Pisces, it’s great for communication and getting words out. So, my “writing and brainstorming” months were easily flagged there.
The turning point, the real moment I found the winner, happened when I tracked the movements of Mars. Mars is the fuel you need to start things. It’s motivation and drive. And when I cross-referenced that power-up with the clear slots left after the Mercury Retrogrades, one month just absolutely screamed opportunity.
I checked Venus, too. Venus was moving into a friendly spot and staying direct during the period Mars was giving me the go-ahead. That’s a powerful combo: drive (Mars) and smooth sailing for finances/partnerships (Venus).
The Final Tally and The Big Reveal
I compiled my final matrix on a simple spreadsheet, color-coding everything: Red for ‘Do Nothing Major,’ Yellow for ‘Just Maintain,’ and Green for ‘GO!’ I’ll be honest, most of the year was yellow or red once I was done filtering out all the drama.
But here’s the record, the absolute best window I managed to track down for any Pisces looking to launch, sign a huge contract, or just make major progress in 2025:
The Clear Winner is June.
Why June? I looked at the specific dates and saw a fantastic cluster of clear skies:
- No Mercury Retrograde drama bleeding over.
- Mars is moving through a very supportive part of the sky for Pisces, giving energy a huge, positive boost. I saw this as the ultimate time to hit the gas pedal.
- Venus is direct and strong, meaning partnerships and money flow should be much smoother than in October when I crashed.
My entire practice record shows that June is the month where I can confidently pull the trigger on any new venture. That October failure taught me a lesson the hard way: if you try to force things when the timing is all messed up, you’re setting yourself up for a flop. Now, for 2025, I’ve got the proof and the plan. I’ve already blocked out the last week of June for the big launch. I’m not leaving this to chance ever again.
