So this week I tried out that Aries career horoscope for May 2025 – the one about boosting luck at work. Figured why not, couldn’t hurt. Here’s exactly what went down.
The Starting Point (Monday)
Woke up feeling kinda meh about work. Remembered seeing that horoscope tip about clearing physical clutter first thing. Grabbed a trash bag and went full attack mode on my home desk. Seriously, found old coffee cups, dead pens, and paperwork from like 2023. Felt gross. Took 45 mins but dumped two bags worth. Desk looked… okay. Better than before.
Where It Got Real (Tuesday)
The tip said to “activate fire energy” as an Aries. Sounded fancy. I took it literally. Wore my bright red shirt to a team meeting. Also blasted upbeat music while prepping my stupid TPS report. Felt kinda stupid but also… awake? Weirdly, my manager pinged me after lunch asking if I was “more energized lately.” Huh.
The Networking Thing (Wednesday)
Wednesday’s advice was about bold communication. Reaching out to someone unexpected. Panicked a bit. Decided to DM that quiet ex-colleague on LinkedIn who moved to a cool startup. Just said:
- “Hey John,
- Loved that post about AI tools you shared.
- Got 5 mins next week for a quick chat? No pressure!”
Sent it. Felt sweaty. He replied THREE MINUTES LATER saying “Sure!”. My jaw dropped. Actually happening.
The Messy Middle (Thursday)
Hit a wall. Horoscope said “luck favors action,” take initiative. My big project was stalled waiting on legal. Normally I’d wait. Nope. Drafted a super concise email laying out exactly what we needed approval on. Bullet points:
- Clear ask
- Deadline impact
- Just 2 questions they needed to answer
CC’d my manager. Got approval by lunch. Legit shocked. Saved us maybe a week of limbo.
The Weird Wrap-Up (Friday)
Friday’s guidance said “express gratitude to lock in gains.” Felt awkward but did two things:
- Thanked Mike from IT in person for fixing my laptop super fast Tuesday (my laptop died mid-call and I almost threw it).
- Sent a quick, genuine Slack to my project team lead: “Appreciate how chill you were when the budget thing shifted this week.”
Guy actually seemed touched? Made me feel less grumpy about Friday traffic.
Final Tally?
Weirdest damn week. Did my career skyrocket? No. But:
- Got a positive nod from the boss
- Landed that coffee chat I kept putting off
- Unblocked a stalled project
- Felt less like a zombie at work
Zero clue if it’s stars aligning or just me finally cleaning my disgusting desk and wearing a loud shirt. Maybe the horoscope just gave me the kick in the butt to actually DO stuff instead of overthinking. Either way, I’ll take it. Might even wear red again Monday. Whatever works.
