Alright folks, settle in. Saw that horoscope money guide floating around for Aries this week – “Unlock Aries Money Potential” or whatever. Figured, why not give it a real shot and track what actually happens? No fluffy predictions, just actions and results. Buckle up.
Kicking Things Off Monday
First thing Monday, cracked open that weekly forecast. Big theme was about seizing spontaneous opportunities – typical Aries “leap first, look later” kinda vibe. Also stressed trusting gut instincts on money stuff, especially unexpected offers or side hustles. Focus was on action now, not over-planning.
Alright, thought I. Time to lean in. Had this small freelance gig dangling for weeks – simple graphic design thing. Pushed it off because the pay wasn’t huge. Horoscope said “don’t dismiss quick opportunities.” Sent that “Hey, ready when you are!” email right after breakfast. Felt impulsive, almost awkward. But the guide said go for it.
Midweek: Gut Feeling & Weird Conviction
Wednesday rolled around. The guide hinted hard at trusting instincts if a money thing feels right, even if logic is shaky. Then, outta nowhere, this old college buddy calls. Random. Talks about needing a quick website mockup for his buddy’s startup. Pays decent, needs it FAST. Like, yesterday fast.
My brain went: “That timeline is nuts. Can’t fit it in.” But honestly? Something fizzy in my gut went “Yeah you can. Do it.” Blame Mercury or whatever, but it felt… aligned? Took a breath, channeled that Aries impulsiveness the guide praised, and said, “Okay. Give me the details.” Heart hammering a bit. Felt equal parts dumb and pumped.
Spent Wednesday night and Thursday glued to the screen. Ate dinner late, ignored the laundry pile. Horoscope said “action,” right? Well, action looked like caffeine jitters and Adobe Illustrator overload.
Friday: Results Roll In (Sorta)
Friday morning delivered. Hit send on the freelance gig from Monday. Client replied within an hour: “Perfect! Payment sent.” Small win, but immediate cash flow. Nice! Felt the guide nudged that one right.
Friday afternoon delivered the chaos. Sent the crazy-fast website mockup. Buddy’s buddy? Loved it! Shouted “Exactly what I pictured!” over Zoom. Paid the invoice instantly via bank transfer. Sweet! But then my own bank pinged me an hour later: “Transfer on hold.” What?! Apparently, their bank flagged the quick transaction amount as unusual for me. Now stuck in some verification limbo until at least Monday. Classic Aries “go fast, hit wall” energy?
Sat staring at my phone, half-laughing, half-groaning. The spontaneous opportunity? Snagged it. The gut feeling? Right on the money. The actual money? Technically exists… but stuck in bureaucratic transit. Felt like the universe was giving me an A+ for effort but an F-minus on execution. That “unlock the potential”? More like unlocked it and found it temporarily padlocked.
Weekend Reflections
So, what did following the Aries money guide actually do?
- Made me act: Would normally have ditched the small gig and passed on the tight-deadline job. Got both. Pushed me outta inertia.
- Made me trust the tingle: That gut feeling on the fast job? Spot on for the opportunity, even if the banking stuff is a headache.
- Delivered cash… kinda: Got one payment immediately. Secured another good chunk, physically present but inaccessible. Potential is there, just delayed.
- Highlighted the “leap first” pitfall: Aries energy gets you moving, but sometimes forgets to check the landing zone for bank transfer security questions.
Overall verdict? The guide kinda worked? It pushed buttons I needed pushing and brought in more dough than I’d have scraped together passively. But unlock it smoothly? Ha. Not this week. Got the cash in, but accessing it feels like another mini-adventure. Classic life/horoscope mix. Action brings potential, action also brings random obstacles. Same fiery energy, I guess. Solid B- experience. Now, off to convince my bank I did actually earn that money.
