My Horoscope Testing Mission

So this morning I woke up kinda curious, you know? Saw a bunch of stuff online screaming about July 2 horoscopes being “super accurate.” Figured, why not? Let’s test this mess myself. Grabbed my lukewarm coffee, still half-asleep, and plopped down at the kitchen table.

Picking My Poison

First step: find sources. Didn’t wanna overthink it. Just popped open the browser and typed “July 2 horoscope.” Bam, tons of sites. Clicked the first three looking fancy. Site one had rainbows and stars, site two looked serious with graphs (lol), site three just screamed “CLICK ME!” with big letters.

Note-Taking Chaos

Opened a crappy notebook, like the one I use for grocery lists. Scribbled “Leo” at the top ’cause that’s me. Skimmed each prediction:

• Site One: Said I’d have a “major career breakthrough.” Ha! My big plan was laundry.
• Site Two: Warned about “unexpected expenses.” Felt that, my coffee machine’s acting up.
• Site Three: Blabbed about “passionate encounters.” Yeah, passionate encounter with my dusty vacuum maybe.

Shoved the notebook in my back pocket and kinda forgot about it. Went about my Tuesday.

The “Accuracy” Hit or Miss

Fast forward to lunch break. Pulled out the crumpled paper. Okay, let’s see…

• “Career Breakthrough?” Nope. Unless reorganizing my email counts. Total miss.
• “Unexpected Expenses?” Ding ding! My weirdly expensive oat milk latte habit surfaced. Annoyingly correct.
• “Passionate Encounters?” Unless my neighbour angrily banging on my door ’cause my music was loud counts… hard miss.

Kinda laughed at myself. One hit outta three. Basically like flipping a coin.

Why We Bite Anyway

Here’s the thing I realized, while shoving tacos in my face later. That “unexpected expenses” thing? It stuck because it happened. The other two flops? Brains just kinda toss those out. We remember the wins and ignore the misses. Makes it feel “accurate.” Sneaky stuff.

Won’t be planning my life around Virgo crap anytime soon. But hey, it was a weirdly fun Tuesday experiment. Notebook goes back in the drawer. Might peek again tomorrow… you know, for science.
