Okay so honestly I kinda doubted this whole Aries love forecast thing for July. I mean, c’mon, stars telling us who to date? Sounded fluffy. But I decided to treat it like an experiment, you know? Just jump in and see what sticks. Here’s exactly what I did, step-by-step.
Step 1: Actually Reading the Damn Thing
First, I made a coffee. Strong. Then I opened the July Aries forecast on my phone. Scrolled past all the flowery language about ‘fiery passions’ and ‘cosmic energy.’ Focused on the practical bits they suggested for relationships:
- Initiate more (Yeah right, typical Aries advice).
- Be spontaneous, break the routine.
- Watch your temper, things could get heated easily (Duh, it’s July. And I’m an Aries. Double whammy).
- Clear communication is super important mid-month.
Felt pretty generic, honestly. But okay, experiment started. Let’s see.
Step 2: Trying Not to Overthink ‘Initiate More’
Early July, my partner was buried in work. Total stress ball. Normally, I’d probably just give them space, wait for them to surface. But this ‘initiate more’ niggled at me. Instead of my usual ‘Let me know when you’re free,’ I actually picked a day, picked a time, and texted: “Movie night? Your pick. My treat. Wednesday?” Simple. Direct. Not my usual wait-and-see.
Result: They seemed kinda surprised? But in a good way? Said yes immediately. Movie sucked, honestly, but laughing about it together felt way better than just coexisting silently at home. Small win. Maybe initiation isn’t always bad.
Step 3: The ‘Spontaneity’ Disaster Turned Win
Mid-month, the forecast pushed spontaneity. Okay, fine. We had zero plans last Saturday afternoon. Weather was killer hot. Instead of just flopping on the couch with the AC blasting, I blurted out, “Seriously, screw this heat. Drive to the coast? Right now? See if we can find ice cream?” Cue the skeptical look. I swear I almost backed out, thinking it was a dumb idea. But I doubled down. “C’mon, worst case, we sit in traffic with AC and eat ice cream later anyway.”
Result: We did it. Traffic was brutal. BUT… we found this random little seafood shack by the water we’d never tried. Ate greasy fish and chips on the pier with seagulls dive-bombing. So dumb. So messy. We laughed till we cried. Zero routine. Maximum chaos. Totally worth it. Spontaneity: 1. My comfort zone: 0.
Step 4: When ‘Heated’ Almost Meant HEATED
Then came the part about temper and clear communication. Right on cue, around the 20th, we had this stupid argument about… honestly, I don’t even remember now. Something inconsequential. But I felt that classic Aries flush, like I was gonna explode over nothing. Remembered the warning. Took a breath.
Instead of yelling, I said: “Okay, this feels stupidly heated. I need a minute.” Walked away. Splashed cold water on my face. Came back and just said flat out: “I got mad over something small. Sorry. Can we restart?” Didn’t blame. Didn’t re-argue. Just reset.
Result: Partner blinked, kinda surprised again. Then they apologized too! The whole thing deflated in like 2 minutes. Normally, this could’ve dragged on for an hour. Temper managed. Communication prioritized. Huge success, actually.
Step 5: Wrapping Up the Messy July Experiment
So, July’s almost gone. Did the Aries love forecast magically fix everything? Hell no. Did it predict some cosmic soulmate? Nope. But treating it like a set of prompts, even slightly silly ones, made me actually do things differently.
- I initiated and got a win.
- I embraced spontaneity and got an adventure.
- I swallowed my fiery reaction and got peace.
It pushed me slightly outside my relationship ruts. Would I take it super seriously next month? Probably not. But will I glance at it and maybe steal one practical action item to try? Yeah, actually. Not bad for some generic star advice. Experiment complete!
