Right, so about last month’s Aries horoscope thing – totally obsessed with checking predictions these days. Grabbed my usual astrology apps plus some dusty books, figured I’d test how legit those September 2024 forecasts for Aries actually are. Here’s the messy play-by-play.
Getting My Ducks in a Row
First step? Coffee. Strong one. Opened AstroGold app first—yes, I paid for that, fight me—and plugged in September 2024 dates. Mars hanging out stubbornly in Aries early month caught my eye immediately. “Rash decisions” warnings popped everywhere. Cross-checked with Café Astrology’s free write-up: yep, same energy. Scribbled notes like:
Key bits I spotted:
- Mars in your face (Aries) first week – impulsive moves likely
- Mercury retrograde mid-month – tech fails, miscommunications galore
- Venus cozying up to Jupiter late September – $$ opportunities maybe?
The Live Experiment Phase
September hit. Woke up September 3rd buzzing like a trapped hornet – classic Mars-in-Aries madness. Almost rage-quit my group chat when Dave sent that annoying meme. Held back… barely. But my cousin (also Aries) did yell at her barista that morning. Point to astrology.
Then came Mercury retrograde around the 15th. Oh buddy. Zoom calls dropping constantly. Sent an email to client saying “Hi [Client’s Competitor Name]” – cringe city. Autocorrect betrayed me thrice that week. Astrology apps nailed that part.
Late month? Different vibe entirely. Random email September 24th: freelance gig offer paying triple my usual rate. Wild. Venus-Jupiter deliverin’ the goods? Felt like it. Bought scratch-offs though—did NOT win. Some things never change.
Where Things Missed the Mark
Not all glittery predictions panned out. That “career breakthrough” flagged for mid-September? Radio silence. Also claimed Saturn would bring “disciplined focus.” Real talk: binged three seasons of trash reality TV instead. Oops.
Final score? Predictions felt about 70% right for my September. Mars energy was dead-on scary accurate. Mercury retrograde? Painfully real. Venus-Jupiter sparkle? Worked for me. Rest was fuzzy or just… nah. Learned: take cosmic hints lightly, carry backup chargers during retrogrades, and maybe avoid coffee shops when Mars is pissed.
