Okay so last week I was scrolling through some astrology stuff, right? And I saw this headline about Aries October lucky days and challenges. Honestly, I usually just scroll past, but hey, October’s coming fast, I’m an Aries, thought maybe I should actually try this thing out for a change. You know, really do what it says and see what happens? Like a weird life experiment. Sounds stupid? Probably. Anyway, let’s roll.
The Setup Phase
First things first, I found that specific Aries October forecast everyone keeps sharing. Printed it out because staring at screens gives me a headache sometimes. Grabbed my favorite notebook – this kinda cheap spiral thing – and a red pen. Gotta have color, feels right for Aries. Found a quiet corner on Sunday evening, coffee steaming beside me. Ready to dive in.
Step one was marking those “lucky days” bright red on my physical calendar. October 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st, and 27th. Big red circles. Then the “challenging days” – mostly talking about Mercury Retrograde stuff I guess? October 1st, 2nd, and then like, practically the last week of the month starting around the 22nd. Marked those in blue. “Handle with care,” the thing said. Okay, noted.
What Was Supposed to Happen
Alright, let me summarize the forecast points I tried to engage with:
- Early Month Luck (Oct 3rd & 9th): Supposed to be prime time for launching projects, talking to big shots, taking a gamble. “Energy surge” and “opportunities knocking.”
- Mid-Month Momentum (Oct 15th & 21st): Focus on partnerships, both love and business stuff. Smooth conversations, positive vibes flowing.
- Late Month Luck (Oct 27th): Creative breakthroughs and recognition. Shine bright.
- Challenge Days: Avoid big decisions, signing contracts, buying expensive stuff especially early month and the last week. Miscommunication guaranteed. Tech glitches. Stuff “going backwards.”
Okay, Now What Actually Happened
So picture me on October 3rd. Lucky day! I planned it. I had this idea for a new blog series. Felt fired up! Got up early, determined to draft the first post. Bingo! Wrote half of it before lunch. Felt that “Aries energy boost”? Maybe? Or was it just coffee? Who knows. But momentum felt good.
October 9th rolls around, another lucky star. I pitched that series idea to another blogger I admire, thinking maybe collab. They actually responded pretty quickly! Positive interest? More “let’s see the full idea.” Still, potential! Marked that as a lucky hit.
Mid-month… started getting messy. October 15th? Supposed to be great for partnerships. My partner? We had THE stupidest argument about… seriously, I forget what. Something trivial about loading the dishwasher wrong. Smooth vibes? Nah. Felt more like friction city. Went to bed annoyed. Failed horoscope point.
October 21st? Lucky for partnerships again. Tried to schedule an important client call for that day. Guess what? Client postponed. Last-minute emergency. Strike two.
Then Mercury went Retrograde… oof. October 1st and 2nd? Challenging days warning. Fine. Avoided big decisions. But felt… restless? Like I wanted to do something but couldn’t. Annoying.
The real kicker was the last week. That big blue block on my calendar starting the 22nd. Challenging times ahead. Forecast called it: tech glitches. Hell yes. My main external hard drive? Died. Just… stopped working the morning of the 23rd. Months of photos, drafts – poof. Stress. Miscommunication? Oh yeah. I emailed my hosting provider about a weird error. Back-and-forth emails for TWO DAYS, each one taking like 12 hours to get a useless canned response. Felt like yelling into a void. Things definitely felt “backwards.” Forecast nailed this part. Lost time, lost data, major frustration.
October 27th? The final “lucky” day? Creative breakthrough promised. Honestly, after the hard drive meltdown and email nightmare, I was in zero mood to create anything brilliant. Did doodle some new post ideas in my notebook that evening. They weren’t awful? But breakthrough? Nah. More like salvaging scraps.
Wrapping It Up – My Messy Conclusions
So, did the Aries October horoscope know things? Weirdly, the “challenging” days? Spot on. Tech issues? Check. Communication hell? Check. Everything grinding to a halt? Double-check. I felt seen and understood… but also kinda miserable.
The “lucky” days? Mixed bag. The early ones had some spark – initiative, starting stuff worked. But the mid-month partnership luck? Total bust for me. Zero positive flow. And that late-month creative luck? Yeah, right. Stress killed that vibe dead.
Here’s the thing: Focusing on the “lucky” days kinda made me try harder? Like putting the pitch out there on the 9th instead of procrastinating. That was cool. But life happens. You can schedule things on a lucky day and the other person cancels. You can feel great on a challenge day and your hard drive just dies anyway.
Will I do this again? Maybe. But next time? I’ll trust the warnings about bad Mercury days way more than I’ll expect miracles on the “lucky” ones. And I’ll DEFINITILY back up my hard drive before late October rolls around. Lesson learned, stars or not.
