When I decided to tackle Aries career horoscopes this month, it started with my morning coffee ritual. Saw a bunch of folks in my astrology Discord group stressing about job changes lately. Figured hey, why not break down March trends for the fire signs?
First Step: Pestering My Astrologer Buddy
Texted Sarah who does professional natal charts. Asked her “What’s cooking for Aries careers this month?” while walking my corgi. She dumped like seven voice notes explaining Mars transitions – saved me hours of Googling. Main takeaway? March kicks off with Mercury retrograde messing with communication. Told her I’d buy pizza next week for that intel.
Writing the Meat & Potatoes
Cracked open Google Docs around noon. Broke predictions into bite-sized chunks:
- Week 1 warning: Don’t sign contracts during Mercury chaos
- Mid-month glow-up: Jupiter’s position means leadership opportunities
- Final week: Team conflicts likely – told readers to breathe before reacting
Got stuck describing planetary aspects. Who cares if Venus trines whatever? Rewrote it as “When stars play nice, you get office wins.”
The Images That Almost Broke Me
Tried making Canva graphics showing Aries rams with briefcases. Looked like a deranged kindergarten project. Ended up using Unsplash pics of mountain climbers with motivational quotes instead. Practical tip: never design while hungry.
Scheduling Drama
Posted draft in Facebook group last night. Half said “Spot on!” others said “My boss is Taurus though??” Note to self: add disclaimer next time about cross-sign compatibility. Published anyway – you can’t please every zodiac.
Final version’s live now. Got three DMs before breakfast asking about salary negotiations specifically. Maybe next month I’ll dive deeper into that fire sign negotiation style… after more coffee.
