So I stumbled on this “Aries June Career Luck?” horoscope thing yesterday morning while doomscrolling during my commute. Ugh, train was delayed again. Figured, why not? Been feeling kinda stuck at work lately, so maybe some cosmic advice wouldn’t hurt, right? Just for kicks.
Where I Looked First
Opened up a couple of those free astrology apps I’ve got buried on my phone. You know the ones – flashy ads, borderline annoying notifications. Checked three different ones:
- App SparkleStars: Said June was all about “bold moves” and “speaking up” for Aries. Very vague.
- App CosmicGuide: Warned about “impulsive decisions” messing things up around mid-month. Contradicted the first one, great.
- App ZodiaFlow: Mentioned a “surprise opportunity” popping up after the 20th. Okay, slightly more specific.
Honestly, this already felt messy. Like three friends giving totally different advice. Needed something more… concrete? Or at least less confusing.
Digging Deeper (Sort Of)
Searched online during my lunch break, avoiding the obviously spammy sites. Found two articles that seemed halfway decent.
Site “StarPaths Daily”: Focused heavily on Mercury being retrograde early in the month (ugh, retrograde). Said communication could be a dumpster fire until the 3rd. Advised double-checking emails and avoiding big career talks before then. Made a mental note: “Don’t yell at Kevin before Wednesday.”
Site “Celestial Insights Monthly”: This one talked about Jupiter’s influence later in June boosting confidence and attracting “benefactors.” Talked about networking paying off after the 20th. Sounded suspiciously like the App ZodiaFlow prediction.
Copied the key bits that seemed consistent – mainly that first-week comms warning and something potentially good post-20th – into my phone notes. Felt like doing homework I didn’t really believe in.
My “Brilliant” Plan
Decided to run a little experiment. Nothing fancy. Just keep my head down during that first week mess, proofread everything twice, bite my tongue in meetings. Basically, act slightly less Aries-like.
Then, for after the 20th? Made a point to actually chat with a couple senior folks I normally avoid – Bob from Engineering and Sarah in Marketing. Not pitching anything, just grabbing coffee, asking how their projects were going. Felt awkward as hell.
Recorded it all in my planner like field notes:
- June 2: Kevin sent wrong specs. Proofread my email reply FOUR times before sending polite correction. Deep breaths.
- June 5: Mercury outta retrograde? Felt less tense in team sync. Didn’t strangle anyone.
- June 22: Coffee with Bob. Actually interesting. He mentioned the new client pipeline ramping up. Filed that away.
- June 25: Bumped into Sarah at lunch. Talked about conference season. She casually mentioned needing extra support for big presentation mid-July. Huh.
The Weird Coincidence Part
Here’s the thing. Nothing exploded early month. Didn’t get fired. Cool. Then, literally June 26th, my manager calls me in. Bigger client project coming July. Guess who needs to help spearhead the presentation build? Sarah mentioned me. Bob vouched for my “attention to detail” (probably referencing me not screwing up the Mercury week, who knows).
Got assigned a more visible role starting July. Was I psyched? Yeah. Was it because Jupiter aligned with my toenail or whatever? Probably not. But… that networking coffee with Bob and bumping into Sarah? That absolutely happened right around when that post-20th “opportunity” timing kept popping up.
So yeah. Would I bank my career on horoscopes? Nope. But noticing the consistent “watch comms early,” “look up late month” thing across sources was interesting. Putting myself out there a tiny bit after the 20th? That actually paid off. Coincidence? Maybe. Good timing based on slightly silly research? Possibly. Either way, documented it. Kinda funny how it played out, even if the stars had nothing to do with it.
