Starting With Simple Curiosity

So I heard folks talking about Mars moving into the second house and freaking out about money. I thought, “Wait, how long does this even last?” Grabbed my ancient astrology app while eating leftover pizza last Tuesday. Wanted to see if this transit actually does anything to my wallet or if it’s just internet noise.

Tracking the Dates Like Grocery Lists

First step? Punching my birth details into the app like ordering coffee. Saw Mars already creeping into my second house zone. Started logging:

• Checked entry date: April 14th
• Stubbornly checked news for stock market crashes (nothing)
• Stared at bank app daily like waiting for bread to toast

Surprise Expenses + Weird Income

Around day five, my car tire blew. Boom – $200 gone. Almost cursed Mars right there. But next week? Found forgotten cash in winter jacket. Exactly $200. Weird! Then:

• Dog suddenly needed expensive meds ($150)
• Got random freelance gig paying $150

Started scribbling every money event in a battered notebook beside my bed. Noticed every loss got balanced in 4-7 days. Like cosmic IOU notes.

Timing the Madness

Stopwatch’d the whole transit using three different astrology calculators. All showed same thing: 6 weeks and 2 days. Counted down daily. When it finally left? My energy shifted:

• Stopped impulse-buying snacks
• Paid off my credit card balance
• Felt less antsy checking bank app

Why I Bother Tracking This Stuff

Truth bomb? Two years ago I’d laugh at this. But during lockdown I lost my job during some Mars chaos. Savings evaporated faster than hot soup. Started studying transits for warning signs like weather forecasts. Now I track everything – got nothing to lose except maybe some boring TV time. Still hate that tire bill though.
