So today I grabbed my phone and opened that astrology app, like I promised myself every Monday morning. Saw the Aries weekly forecast glowing right there on the home screen – “Aries Weekly Horoscope Check! (3 Lucky Things Coming Your Way).” Felt kinda hopeful, you know? Decided this time I’d actually note down what happens instead of just skimming it and forgetting.
My Step-by-Step Horoscope Journey
First thing after breakfast, poured another coffee and opened the full report. Scrolled past the usual “fiery spirit” stuff – heard it a million times. Wanted the meat: those three lucky things.
Here’s what it said, word for word:
- A surprise windfall is coming your way before Friday. Cash bonus? Found money? Lottery win? Okay, got my attention.
- A forgotten connection resurfaces with exciting news. Old friend? Ex-colleague? Mysterious.
- Creative projects started this week get unexpected, glowing recognition. Well, I did have that half-baked craft idea…
Wrote them down in my notes app, feeling kinda optimistic. “Alright universe,” I thought, “show me.” Tried staying extra alert all week.
What Actually Went Down
Windfall? More like a blowout. Thursday morning, walked outside to a flat tire. That surprise “windfall” became a $150 surprise invoice at the garage. Credit card took the hit. Definitely not the cash bonus vibe I was hoping for.
Forgotten connection? Yeah, kinda. Tuesday afternoon, got a call from a number I didn’t know. Answered it cautiously. Turned out it was someone who used to volunteer at the same community garden five years ago! Recognized his voice. Exciting news? He was… inviting me to buy fundraising chocolate bars for his kid’s soccer team. Thrilling. Bought a bar to be polite. $6 bucks lighter.
Creative recognition? Pure silence. Decided to try that little upcycling project – turning an old jar into a vase. Posted a single, kinda awkward picture of it Wednesday night on my hobby account. Seven likes. Two were from my mom and my cousin. Zero comments about its brilliance. Unexpected? Maybe. Glowing? More like barely flickering.
So yeah, spent the week watching for stars aligning… nada. Felt like more random stuff happening, same as always. That “lucky” feeling? Didn’t land. Makes you wonder. Maybe the real luck was finding my car keys faster than usual Tuesday morning. Or that the coffee shop didn’t run out of oat milk Friday. Small wins.
Honestly? Following horoscopes feels like reading a choose-your-own-adventure book where every path leads back to the same room. You squint, trying to see the magic it predicted, bending reality just a little to make ‘A forgotten connection’ fit the guy selling chocolate. Bit of a stretch. Kinda forced the ‘windfall’ thing with the tire expense, but that felt like a real reach. Whole bunch of crap. Maybe it’s just entertainment after all. Or maybe I need to manifest harder or whatever. Either way, here’s my real-time record – no sugarcoating.
Guess I’ll check again next Monday. Skepticism level slightly raised.
