Waking Up to the Planets
Rolled outta bed around 6 AM, poured cold brew straight into my mug – no sugar, need that bitter kick. Grabbed my astrology journal, the one with coffee stains on page 47. Flipped to a fresh page and scribbled “March 17, 2025” real messy at the top. Checked my astrology app quick: Moon squaring Jupiter, Mercury dancing with Neptune. Thought “huh, gonna be one of those dreamy-but-argumentative days.”
Mapping Planetary Positions
Opened my laptop halfway through the coffee. Pulled up planetary transit charts from three sources – always cross-reference, you know? Noticed Venus camped in Pisces like it’s on vacation. Scribbled notes:
- Libra peeps: Watch for mixed signals in relationships
- Taurus squad: Unexpected cash surprises maybe?
- Fire signs overall: Chill that temper today
My cat jumped on the keyboard when I got to Saturn’s position. Deleted half a paragraph. Had to restart with Mercury retrograde warning.
Real-life Testing the Predictions
Took my dog out at 8:30 AM specifically watching for Neptune effects. That neighbor who never smiles? Gave me a wave! Jotted down “Neptune softening vibes confirmed”. Texted my Gemini friend the warning about rushed decisions. He replied ALL CAPS about buying jet skis – classic Mercury in Pisces impulsiveness.
Finalizing the Read
Sat staring at Jupiter’s transit notes when the coffee machine gurgled. Thought about how people misuse horoscopes like fortune cookies. Wrote bold at the bottom: “Planets nudge, not shove.” Closed my journal feeling like I decoded tomorrow’s weather report but for emotions. Might redo Mercury’s section tomorrow though – feels off.
