So I’m scrolling through my astrology app this morning, flipping past the usual stuff, and bam – February 2025’s Taurus forecast pops up. Figured why not give it a shot since Mercury’s retrograde wrecked my January anyway. Grabbed my cheap notebook and purple pen – always write predictions down by hand, feels more real that way.
The Love Part
The horoscope said Tauruses should “initiate difficult conversations before the 15th”. Immediately thought about that weird tension with my roommate Sarah over dishes. We’ve been doing this passive-aggressive sticky note war for weeks. Tuesday night I cornered her in the kitchen like the stars suggested. Totally bottled it at first – started talking about weather! But then blurted out “Why do you always leave spoons in the sink?”
Awkward silence. Then she cracked up! Turns out she thought MY coffee mugs were hers. We spent an hour cleaning out the cupboard laughing like idiots. Didn’t expect cosmic advice to fix roommate drama but here we are. Also tried the “wear earthy tones to attract stability” tip – wore my nasty brown sweater to Trader Joe’s. Zero dates but the cashier did give me free chocolate. Counts as a win.
Money Stuff
Now the money advice sounded sketchy: “Unexpected income possible if you clear old paperwork”. My desk’s a nightmare – unpaid bills, crumpled receipts, that jury duty form from October… Spent Sunday afternoon dumping everything into shoe boxes. Found three things:
- A $50 Amazon gift card from Christmas
- My expired insurance card (whoops)
- And get this – a rebate check for $29.87!
Not exactly life-changing but free pizza money! Also followed the “avoid luxury purchases after 20th” warning. Ignored that sweet 40% off Pottery Barn email yesterday. Felt proud till I spent double at Ulta. Stars: 1 point. Me: 0 points.
Results
Mixed bag honestly. The confrontation thing worked better than couples therapy. Money advice gave me 80 bucks I forgot existed plus financial guilt. At least the apartment smells like chocolate now. Might try again next month if Saturn’s positioning looks less judgy.
