Okay so last weekend I was scrolling through my feed and saw everyone freaking out about Neptune in Capricorn. Honestly? I always thought astrology stuff was kinda wishy-washy but my buddy Dave kept insisting it explains why our whole office feels like it’s sinking lately. Figured why not test it myself.

First thing I did was grab my dusty journal from the back of my closet – the one with pizza stains from 2018. Started scribbling down what’s actually happening right now:

• My manager’s been obsessing over pointless reports that change every week
• Keep doubting if I should quit this soul-crushing accounting job
• Got ghosted by three clients who suddenly acted like contracts never existed

Then I went digging through astrology forums trying to find plain English explanations. Most sounded like alien language but finally got the gist: Neptune makes things foggy and Capricorn’s all about work and structure. So basically our foundations turn to quicksand? Great.

Decided to test the theory at my Monday standup. When Janet from sales started bragging about her “totally solid” revenue numbers, I straight up asked for proof. Everyone froze like I kicked a puppy. Turns out she’d been fudging spreadsheets for months. Boss looked ready to implode. Then the copier jammed and nobody could print the real report. Whole damn room felt like a Scooby-Doo mystery.

All week I paid attention to where reality seemed shaky:

• My landlord tried raising rent claiming “market rates” – called his bluff with Zillow screenshots and he backtracked instantly
• Caught my gym auto-renewing a membership I cancelled in April
• Even my dog started side-eyeing me like I forgot his dinner (I didn’t)

Final experiment? I intentionally didn’t double-check deadlines Friday. Normally I’d stress all night, but guess what? Client pushed the deadline themselves saying their requirements “weren’t clear enough.” Irony tasted delicious.

What’s my takeaway after this nonsense? Neptune in Capricorn feels like walking through one of those haunted house hallways where the walls keep moving. It’s exposing where systems are rotten and people are bluffing. I’m not blaming planets for my problems – but damn if it isn’t highlighting where my life’s built on cardboard cutouts. Might finally update that resume after all.
