So I saw this horoscope thingy for August Taurus floating around, and honestly, I was like “Why not give it a shot?” My luck’s been kinda meh lately, and the tips sounded simple enough. Grabbed my notebook and coffee, ready to test-drive these cosmic suggestions. Here’s exactly how it went down.
Starting With the Basics
First tip was wearing green for good vibes. Dug through my closet and found this old mint t-shirt buried under workout clothes. Threw it on – felt kinda silly, but whatever. Even swapped my phone wallpaper to some leafy plant pic for extra “green energy”.
The Morning Ritual Tweak
Next was starting each day with water – not coffee! Ugh. Set a glass by my bed the night before. Woke up, chugged it like medicine while staring at the ceiling. Did this for 4 days straight before I cheated and added lemon slices to make it less boring.
Dealing With People Stuff
Horoscope insisted Tauruses should avoid stubborn arguments. Tough one for me. When Dave at work started ranting about printers jammin’, I literally bit my tongue instead of firing back. Walked away muttering “Universe, you owe me”. Felt like swallowing boiling tea, but no showdown happened.
Money Moves Attempt
Part said “financial opportunities near water”. Drove to the riverbank Wednesday evening with my laptop. Sat on a weirdly damp bench trying to finish invoices. Mosquitoes ate me alive, and my only “opportunity” was a duck trying to steal my sandwich. Total fail – next time I’m just putting a water bowl on my desk.
The Weird Crystal Phase
Googled “Taurus luck crystals” on a whim. Bought a jasper rock from Etsy that looked like a moldy meatball. Carried it in my pocket for a week. Dropped it in the grocery store parking lot – spent 20 minutes crawling on asphalt searching. Found it wedged under a tire. Lucky? Debatable.
Final Thoughts
Okay, so after two weeks of this:
- My boss DID randomly approve time-off – green shirt day!
- Water ritual made me less groggy, but pee breaks tripled.
- No printer wars, though Dave still sucks.
- Crystal’s now a paperweight. Worthless but pretty.
Did the stars magically fix everything? Nah. But forcing myself to try weird crap shook up my routine. Maybe that’s what “luck” really is – just stubborn Taureans trying new things. Gonna keep the green shirt though. It’s comfy.
