So I stumbled upon that Taurus 2025 career forecast last Tuesday morning while chugging cold brew at my kitchen counter. The headline screamed “make more money soon!” and I figured hell, might as well try this astrology stuff for real. Grabbed my worn-out notebook and started scribbling down the “lucky” dates and opportunities they mentioned.
Phase One: The Experiment Setup
First thing I did was hunt down all those “financial opportunity windows” they listed. Marked every single one in my Google Calendar with bull emojis. The prediction said late January was prime time for promotions, so I literally circled January 20-25 with red marker on my office whiteboard. Went full believer mode.
Phase Two: Taking Weird Actions
Decided to follow three specific tips:
- Emboldened meeting behavior: Started wearing bright red to every Tuesday team call (their “power color”). Interrupted my manager twice to pitch project ideas during Jupiter-ruled hours.
- Random networking: Messaged seven old coworkers on Wednesday when Mercury was “favorable.” Just dumped “hey remember me?” texts with zero context.
- Cash moves: Threw $500 at crypto because the stars said “financial risks pay off” in April. Didn’t research squat.
Felt like an absolute clown doing all this. My wife caught me checking moon phases before a Zoom presentation and straight up laughed.
Phase Three: Reality Check
Here’s how it actually played out:
- My manager told me to stop wearing red because it was distracting in meetings. Got zero traction on those project pitches.
- Four people never replied to my “astrological networking.” Two asked if I got hacked. One actually met for coffee but just complained about his divorce.
- The crypto plummeted 18% in three days. Saturn retrograde apparently didn’t get the memo.
The only win? That random coffee guy mentioned his startup needed freelance help – landed a $300 gig editing spreadsheets. Would’ve happened without Mercury’s “help” though.
Final Thoughts
Wasted like ten hours total chasing star positions. Felt like trying to win roulette by wearing “lucky” socks. Still deposited that freelance check though – poured the cash into actual career courses instead of astro-readings. Moral of this dumb experiment? Opportunities come from hustling, not horoscopes. But hey, at least now I’ve got bull emojis all over my calendar till December.
