Alright so people been asking how my April went as an Aries, specially after that horoscope stuff. Gotta be honest – I never really believed much in that zodiac thing, you know? But April started rough for me. Lost my job last month, bank account looking sad. Figured hey, why not try whatever luck this horoscope business claims to have? Worst case, I waste some time reading stars instead of doomscrolling job sites. Decided to actually track it, step by step.
The Plan
First, printed out a big calendar page for April. Dug around on a few different astrology websites – not paying for nothing, just the free stuff. Wrote down key dates they kept saying were big for Aries:
- April 2-6: Something about Mars energy, told me to “charge ahead boldly.” Made me laugh. Bold with what? Ramen noodles?
- April 15: New Moon in Aries. Supposedly huge for new beginnings. Timing felt awkward cause my unemployment check came late that day.
- April 22: Mercury goes retrograde in my money zone. Great. Just great.
Figured my focus should be on job hunt stuff and saving pennies. That’s all I really cared about, forget the romance or adventure junk. Taped the marked-up calendar to my fridge next to the overdue bills. Constant reminder.
The Action
Started trying actually DOING what they said.
- April 2-6 (The “Charge Ahead” phase): Went nuts applying for jobs. Did five applications every day, minimum. Called back two recruiters who ghosted me before. One actually answered! Had a weird interview, got flustered. Blamed it on “Mars energy.” Didn’t get the job anyway. Mostly felt tired, not bold.
- April 15 (The New Moon): Okay, I played along. Lit a stupid candle I found in the back of a drawer. Tried meditating for like ten minutes. Got distracted thinking about the electric bill. Sent out one super important application to a place I really wanted. That felt like my “new beginning.” Heard crickets back for two weeks.
- April 22 (Mercury Retrograde, Money Zone): Predictable disaster. Fridge broke down. Repair guy quoted a price that made my eyes water. Tried negotiating. Guy got annoyed. Internet crapped out trying to submit a freelance gig payment. Blamed Mercury retrograde. Felt kinda good having a cosmic scapegoat for once.
The Real Stuff That Actually Happened
Forget the planets, here’s the real score:
- Got weirdly lucky around April 10: No planet said anything about that day. Ran into an old boss at the damn coffee shop. Ended up chatting. He hooked me up with a freelance project – just data entry stuff, but actual cash!
- Finally heard back about that “New Moon” application on April 28: Rejected. Thanks universe.
- The fridge thing ate my freelance earnings. Mercury retrograde wins.
- Felt super restless around April 18-20: Horoscopes said nothing about it. Just pure stress. Ate too much junk food.
So, Did the Stars Help?
Honestly? Ain’t nothing special happen because I followed the horoscope dates. The Mars energy push maybe got me sending more applications, sure. The New Moon meditation was just sitting in the dark awkwardly. And Mercury Retrograde? That’s just life being life, planets or not.
What really helped? Talking to people, hustling hard even when the stars said chill, and finding ways to make a buck. The horoscope stuff feels mostly like a fun house mirror – reflects bits of what you want to see or fear. Maybe adds a little nudge or an excuse. Took me a whole month of checking calendars and doing weird rituals to figure that out.
My advice? If you’re an Aries feeling stuck, skip the crystal charging or waiting for Jupiter’s blessing. Go bug that old connection. Learn a quick skill online. Apply to the job scared. That old boss coffee meeting meant more than any “auspicious date” ever did. The planets might spin, but your feet gotta walk the ground yourself. Now excuse me, gotta nurse my post-April drinking problem… er, I mean, budget soda habit. Ramen awaits.
