So I came across this weekly horoscope for Aries promising luck boosts and thought – why not put it to the test? The timing felt right since Mercury’s in retrograde and my car just got towed last Tuesday. Perfect luck-testing moment.
Phase 1: Preparing the Setup
First thing I dug out my grandma’s crystal pyramid from the attic. Dusted it off real good. The guide said citrine attracts luck, so I shoved it right on my work desk next to my cold coffee mug. Also grabbed this rusty horseshoe I found during my camping trip – balanced it precariously on my bookshelf. Almost knocked over my Spider-Man action figure collection but worth the risk.
Morning ritual part:
- Woke up at 5:45 AM sharp (felt like death)
- Chanted “abracadabra” three times facing east
- Drank turmeric tea while visualizing lottery wins
- Wore mismatched socks for “cosmic alignment”
Phase 2: Testing the Methods
Wednesday was decision day. The horoscope said “take bold risks before noon”. So I walked into my boss’s office asking for 50% raise. Got laughed at – but hey, he DID offer free pizza Friday. Small win? Maybe.
Then tried the “fortuitous networking” tip. Went to Starbucks pretending to spill coffee on strangers. First three people cursed at me. Fourth turned out to be my dentist giving free floss samples. Strange but useful?
Observed outcomes by Thursday:
- Found dime in parking lot (score!)
- Avoided stepping in dog poop by 0.5 seconds
- Barista gave me extra foam “by accident”
- Toaster didn’t electrocute me (unlike last month)
Phase 3: The Grand Finale
Saved the big test for Friday – bought scratch-off ticket using “lucky numbers” from my fortune cookie. Sat on my porch rubbing the crystal like maniac while scratching. First card: nada. Second: zilch. Third… got $2 back! Immediately reinvested in gummy bears. Moral victory.
Final verdict? Jury’s still out. Didn’t get struck by lightning or hit by buses all week, so could be working? Might keep the crystal on my desk though – looks cool during Zoom calls. Might try adding rabbit foot next week.
