Alright folks, today’s experiment was all about juicing up my luck for the week – since I’m a hard-headed Aries, figured I’d actually try out what the stars suggested for once instead of just skimming. Went something like this.
My Morning Fire Ritual (Sort Of)
First thing the horoscope said was “start with a bang,” literally. Talked about harnessing fire energy. So, grabbed my half-burnt birthday candle from the drawer – the cheap yellow one – and stuck it on a plate. Lit it right next to my cold coffee while the dog looked at me like I lost it. Focused real hard on what I wanted luck for this week: nailing a tough client call. Held that thought till the candle sputtered out in a pool of wax. Felt a bit silly, but hey, commitment.
Hunting Down That “Lucky” Outfit
Next step: wear red. Apparently power color for us rams. Problem is, my closet is basically a black hole. Dug around and found an old faded red t-shirt shoved in the back. Threw it on over a hoodie because, you know, gotta look somewhat presentable on Zoom later. Rocked it with jeans. Didn’t feel particularly powerful, but it was definitely red. Maybe boosted my confidence a smidge? Or maybe just made me feel like walking a ‘stop’ sign.
Action Points I Actually Did
Here’s where the “doing” kicked in. Horoscope emphasized being bold and taking initiative:
- DMed that contact I’d been avoiding: You know the one. Always says “let’s connect!” then radio silence. Sent a short, direct message: “Hey, following up on that project idea. Free for 10 mins Tuesday?” Shockingly, they replied “Sure!” within the hour. Small win? Luck? Dunno, but moving the needle.
- Cleared my damn desk pile: Seriously, it was becoming a monument to procrastination. Papers, old mail, random chargers. Took 20 messy minutes and just shoved everything not urgent into a box. Out of sight, kinda out of mind. Instant feel of less chaos. Maybe made room for actual luck to land?
- Blurted out an idea in the team meeting: Normally I’d sit on it till it’s polished. Nope. Just threw it out there, raw and a bit rough. Boss actually paused and said “Huh. Interesting angle. Explore that?” Got assigned a tiny slice of research. Didn’t get shot down! That felt like pure Aries momentum.
The Weirdly Specific Social Tip
The one that made me raise an eyebrow: “Your luck hides in unexpected conversations, maybe near metal or tall structures.” Okay then. Went to grab lunch and deliberately walked past the giant, ugly metal sculpture downtown. Loitered awkwardly near it pretending to check my phone. Did get stopped… by someone asking for directions. Weird? Yes. Unexpected? Sure. Lucky? Nah. But hey, crossed paths with the mailman delivering a check, so I’ll count it.
Wrapping Up The Aries Week Prep
Finished off by jotting down three things I genuinely want to tackle, no fear. Scribbled them on a bright blue sticky note – another “lucky” color apparently – stuck it dead center on my monitor. Can’t ignore it now.
So, did it work? The week’s just starting, but that contact reply felt lucky. Getting the mini-assignment felt lucky. Maybe it’s just pushing myself to do instead of overthink? Classic Aries trait, I guess. The candle and the shirt? Probably placebo. But forcing myself into action? Feels like the real luck booster. We’ll see if the client call tomorrow feels charmed.
