Okay folks, let’s break down this week’s horoscope adventure. Saw that December 3rd horoscope post pop up online while drinking my coffee yesterday morning. Decided to actually test their advice for love, career, and money this week instead of just skimming it. Grabbed my notebook immediately to track everything.
The Love Section First
The horoscope screamed “be bold!” in love matters. Been eyeing this pottery class forever but chickened out asking my neighbor if she wanted to go together. Thursday rolled around, bit down hard on my fear, walked straight over to her door and blurted out the invitation. My hands were actually shaking holding the class flyer. She said yes immediately! Turns out she’d seen the same listing months ago but didn’t wanna go alone. We’re signed up for next Tuesday.
Career Moves Next
Career advice was vague – “recognize unseen opportunities”. Didn’t get it at first. Wednesday had that tedious team meeting about project timelines. Almost zoned out until Mark from accounting mentioned offhand they needed volunteers for the new cross-department task force. Normally I’d ignore it, but scribbled “ASK MARK” in all caps on my notepad. Cornered him after the meeting, pumped him for details. Sent a formal interest email Thursday afternoon. Got CC’d on the kickoff meeting invite Friday morning. Wild.
The Money Experiment
Money part said “unexpected gains through networking”. Weird, because I avoid MLM stuff like the plague. Texted my cousin Friday complaining about holiday shipping costs for my Etsy side hustle. He connected me with his buddy who runs a local courier service. Met him for coffee, showed him my shipping spreadsheet. Dude gave me his “friends/family” rate on the spot – 20% cheaper than USPS for local deliveries. Already used it twice this weekend.
Biggest takeaway? Treating this horoscope like a to-do list actually forced action instead of overthinking. That “be bold” love advice felt terrifying Tuesday but led to concrete plans. Would’ve never chased that career opportunity without seeing the advice first. Money save was pure luck amplified by actually talking to people. Gonna try this “horoscope as weekly challenge” thing again – with less shaky hands next time.
