You know, for a long time, I never really paid much mind to horoscopes. They just felt like a bunch of fluffy words strung together, you know? But then, my sister, she’s a full-on Pisces, always asking me, “Hey, what do you think next week’s gonna be like for me?” And I’d just shrug, laugh it off. But after a while, it got me thinking. How do people even come up with this stuff? Is it just pulling things out of thin air, or is there some kind of vibe or pattern they’re tapping into?
So, one lazy Saturday morning, I just decided, “Alright, let me actually try to figure this out. Not just for her, but for myself. What does it feel like to try and put together a ‘next week’s horoscope’ for a Pisces?” It wasn’t about being an astrologer, far from it. It was more about an experiment in observation and maybe a little bit of creative writing, all wrapped up in trying to predict a general vibe.
First thing I did was just plain sit down with my coffee and think about Pisces. What are their general traits? I wasn’t looking up complicated star charts or anything. Just the basic stuff. Like, they’re often seen as dreamy, a bit emotional, creative, empathetic, sometimes a little lost in their own world. I actually grabbed a pen and a notebook – yep, old school – and just started jotting down keywords. Like “intuition,” “feelings,” “daydreaming,” “helping others,” maybe “feeling overwhelmed sometimes.”
Then I thought about what generally happens in a “next week.” Life, right? There’s always some work stuff, some personal stuff, maybe some unexpected little bumps, some moments of joy. I wanted to make sure whatever I came up with wasn’t too specific, but also not so vague that it could apply to literally anyone. That’s the tricky balance, I figured, when you’re trying to make a horoscope sound real.
