So this morning I grabbed my usual coffee, checked social media and saw everyone buzzing about horoscopes. Figured hey, why not try writing today’s forecast for Aries myself? People seem to eat this stuff up.
The Research Rabbit Hole
First I dusted off my notebook – literal dust, been a minute since I did this. Started scribbling stuff like “Aries: fire sign, impulsive, leadership vibes.” Googled “planets moving today” and instantly regretted it. Articles talking about Jupiter opposing Mercury or whatever. My eyes glazed over after two sentences.
Decided to wing it instead. Opened three browser tabs:
- One with generic Aries traits
- One astrology meme page for inspiration
- Weather app because why not toss that in too
Poured another coffee. Needed it.
Writing Like a Tornado
Started typing super fast. Wrote stuff like “Feeling restless? DUH you’re Aries, always restless!” Then deleted half of it because sounded too mean. Added fluffy bits about “great day for bold moves” and “trust your gut.”
Stared at the blank “Career” section. Shrugged and wrote: “Boss annoying you? Channel that fire into something useful.” For relationships I put: “Maybe don’t pick fights today? Just a thought.”
Got stuck on the “Lucky Numbers” part. Rolled a D20 dice from my son’s DnD set. Landed on 7, 12, and 3. Scribbled them down immediately.
Formatting Nightmares
Copied everything into WordPress. Looked like a wall of text disaster. Added bullet points using the editor. Clicked preview. Now the text flashed rainbow colors because I accidentally enabled some weird plugin.
Panic-deleted all plugins related to animation. Just made it bold and italic where it felt right. Added spaces between sections so it didn’t look crammed. Tossed in two random emojis – 🔥 for passion and 🤯 for surprise. Seemed Aries enough.
Posting Regret & Relief
Hit publish before I could overthink it. Immediately thought “Should’ve mentioned Mercury retrograde” but nah, too late. Someone commented “This felt weirdly accurate?” within 2 minutes. Grabbed my cold coffee and muttered “Mission accomplished I guess.” Still not sure if horoscopes are legit, but making them sure killed an hour today.
