Alright so I got up this morning feeling like trash honestly. Couldn’t sleep right last night. Made my coffee extra strong, triple shot. Needed that kick. Saw the date pop up on my phone – May 6, 2025. Huh, Taurus season.
Grabbed my phone thinking, screw it, let’s see what the stars say today. Pulled up that Taurus daily horoscope for the sixth. Don’t judge me, sometimes it’s just fun. Started reading through it. Blah blah financial stuff, communication boosts… usual horoscope fluff mostly.
Then one line jumped out at me: “An unexpected connection may bring luck today.” Weirdly specific. I actually laughed out loud. Okay universe, game on. How exactly am I supposed to “find my luck” with this vague crap?
Here’s how I actually tried it:
- Woke up earlier than usual. Felt terrible but did it.
- Made a list of people I hadn’t messaged in ages. Old clients, that friend who moved cross-country, even my weird cousin.
- Sent short, casual texts to five folks. Nothing sales-y. Just “Hey man, saw this thing yesterday, made me think of that project we did. How’s things?”
Finished my coffee thinking, well that was a waste of time. Probably nothing comes of it. Forgot about it entirely until after lunch.
BOOM. My phone blows up. It’s Mark! That client I fired… wait, he fired me like two years ago over some stupid budget fight. Complete radio silence since then. And guess what? He got my random text. Said he’d been meaning to reach out because his new company needs EXACTLY what I specialize in now. He apologized for the old drama. Said he felt stupid about it. Wants to talk tomorrow.
Could NOT make this stuff up. Like, textbook “unexpected connection.” Wild. That project? If it happens? Pays triple my normal day rate. Maybe the stars aren’t entirely full of it. Or maybe I just got stupidly lucky. Either way, my wallet ain’t complaining.
Still think the whole “lucky stone” suggestion in the horoscope is nonsense though. You think I’m carrying citrine around? Please.
