So I grabbed my Aries June horoscope the other night, thinking it’d be fun to actually follow the money and health stuff step by step. Here’s how it all went down.
The Money Part
First thing Tuesday morning, I pulled up that section about “financial flow.” Said something like unexpected opportunities might pop up if I stay flexible. So I thought, “Alright, let’s try staying open.” Normally I’d ignore random LinkedIn messages, but this time I actually replied to one from a recruiter. Dude wanted a quick coffee chat.
Went to this cheap café downtown, ordered the smallest coffee possible ($2.50, not bad). Listened to his pitch – totally unrelated to my field, honestly. But I nodded along, trying to be that “flexible” Aries energy. Wasted a whole hour. Zero opportunities materialized. Just lost $2.50 and 60 minutes of my life.
Then the horoscope mentioned reviewing budgets mid-month. Sunday rolled around, I sat on my living room floor with my laptop, bank app open, and a notebook. Action step done. Saw I spent way too much on takeout last week (guilty!). So I literally wrote “MAX $50 TAKE-OUT THIS WEEK” on a sticky note and slapped it on my fridge. Stuck to it for three whole days… then caved for pizza Thursday. Hey, progress?
The Health Part
Health section warned about “burnout” and pushed movement before work. Tried being all proactive Monday. Set my alarm for 6 AM, aimed for a sunrise walk. Actually got up! Put on my sneakers… then saw it was drizzling. Nah. Crawled back into bed for another hour.
Undeterred, I remembered the bit about “exploring new movement.” Signed up for a free yoga class at the community center Wednesday night. Got there, rolled out my mat… realized it was power yoga. I nearly died. My downward dog looked like a wounded pigeon. Everyone else flowed like water; I creaked like a rusty gate. Highlight? The instructor whispered, “Modify as needed, honey” after my fifth grunt. Humbling.
Rest and diet got a mention too. Tried swapping my 3rd coffee for herbal tea Thursday afternoon. Made chamomile. Tasted like warm water steeped in sadness. Lasted two sips. Grabbed the coffee pot instead. Win some, lose some.
So… Did It Work?
Honestly? Mixed bag. Being “open” cost me coffee money. Budget review helped… until pizza happened. Morning walks are clearly weather-dependent for me. And power yoga? Pure brutality wrapped in zen quotes.
What actually kinda worked:
- The fridge sticky note (for three days)
- Signing up for the class (attending is debatable)
- Realizing cheap herbal tea sucks
So yeah. Tried following the stars. Mostly learned I’m an Aries who really likes pizza, hates fake-healthy drinks, and shouldn’t attempt advanced yoga poses without a medic nearby. Maybe next month I’ll try half the advice?
