My Process for Creating the July Aries Guide
So this morning, I grabbed my coffee and opened my astrology app like always. Scrolled through planetary movements – saw Mars doing its fiery thing and Mercury starting to retrograde soon. Felt pulled toward Aries energy first. Remembered my buddy Dave (total Aries) stressing about his job interview AND first date this week. Lightbulb moment – why not combine love/career tips?
Scribbled down messy notes at my kitchen table:
- Career: That Mars placement screams action – but Mercury Retro hiding around July 25th? Big red flag.
- Love: Venus shifting mid-month – relationships need honesty now.
- Problem: How to tell passionate Aries to SLOW DOWN without boring them?
Pulled out last year’s July notes – yep, same Mercury trap messed up three clients. Tossed my first draft where I sounded like a textbook. Grabbed my phone and recorded voice notes instead – way more natural. Said stuff like “Look, charge at that work project BUT proofread twice before sending emails after July 20” and “Tell your date what you actually want, stop guessing their mind.”
Turning Voice Memos Into Action Steps
Transcribed the real-talk audio later. Color-coded my calendar:
- July 1-15 (Green Zone): “Go hard career-wise! Schedule important meetings now.”
- July 16-24 (Yellow Zone): “Triple-check contracts. Romance? Deep talks > grand gestures.”
- July 25+ (Red Zone): “Fix old work messes, don’t start new drama. Relationships – listen more!”
Test-drove these tips on Dave yesterday. His reaction? “Finally someone gets that I hate sugarcoating.” Proof the star stuff works when you keep it human.
