This morning I brewed some coffee and opened up the daily horoscope. Saw “Best Moves for Your Sign” staring back at me. Figured hey, why not try this Aries advice in real life today? Here’s exactly what went down.
Step 1: Reading the Horoscope
The big three points jumped out at me:
First move: Kick off that work project you’ve been scared to start.
Second move: Have a tough conversation instead of avoiding it.
Third move: Try some random fun activity you’d normally say no to.
Step 2: Tackling the Work Thing
Around 9:30 AM, I opened that pitch document I’d been staring at for weeks. Typed three sentences. Deleted them. Paced around my kitchen twice. Finally just wrote whatever came to mind and hit send before I could overthink it. Felt like jumping off a damn cliff.
Step 3: The Uncomfortable Talk
Called up my brother after lunch about our stupid inheritance drama. My palms were sweaty holding the phone. Started with “Look man, this has been bugging me…” Took fifteen minutes of awkward pauses and talking over each other. But we actually settled the calendar for meeting the lawyer. Surprised the hell outta me.
Step 4: The Random Fun Part
Wandered past one of those trampoline parks on my evening walk. That “try something new” advice kept rattling in my head. Paid for thirty minutes and felt like an idiot surrounded by screaming kids. Did two terrible backflips. Laughed till my stomach hurt. Got scolded by a 10-year-old for hogging the dodgeball court.
So Did This Horoscope Thing Work?
Honestly? Mixed bag:
- The good: Pitch email got instant positive reply. Brother situation resolved.
- The awkward: Still sore from those trampoline landings.
- The reality: Faking courage feels ridiculous… until it actually works sometimes.
Might try this again next week. But definitely skipping the trampolines.
