Why I Even Bothered Checking Mars in Pisces Stuff

So last month my coworker Jake kept yapping about planets affecting his job interviews. I usually roll my eyes at this stuff, but my sales numbers suddenly tanked despite hustling the same as always. Thought screw it, might as well see if Mars swimming in Pisces meant anything for work and dating since my Tinder matches went radio silent too.

How I Tracked This Astro Nonsense

First I grabbed my dusty planner from 2020 – yeah I still use paper. Drew a big red circle around the Mars-in-Pisces dates like some detective connecting clues. Wrote two dumb columns: WORK DRAMA and DATING WEIRDNESS. Every damn day I scribbled down anything unusual:

• Missed 3 deadlines for no good reason (usually never late)
• Boss randomly switched my project after 2 weeks progress
• That girl from yoga class ghosted after setting up coffee
• Got into the dumbest argument over microwave etiquette

Kept this up for 3 weeks straight like tracking gas mileage. Didn’t tell anyone either – felt kinda nuts whispering “stupid Mars crap” while writing.

The Messy Reality That Hit Me

About 10 days in, work went totally sideways. My focus was shot – kept rewriting emails but nothing sounded right. Had 4 meetings where people cried about deadlines (never saw that before). Clients suddenly changed requirements like they forgot what they ordered. One afternoon I hid in the supply closet eating protein bars staring at motivational posters feeling absolutely useless.

Dating was weirder. Matched with this nurse who straight up said “I just want cuddles” then vanished. Another girl sent 11 voice memos ranting about her cactus dying. Went on a date where we both forgot our wallets – ended up splitting a gas station hot dog like bums.

What Actually Made Sense Later

Checked my notes after Mars moved outta Pisces. Patterns slapped me in the face:

• Every work conflict happened when I tried pushing logical solutions (Pisces hates that crap apparently)
• Drama lessened when I finally admitted “I dunno how to fix this” instead of forcing answers
• Love life surprises stopped once I quit overthinking texts and sent stupid memes instead

Biggest shock? Realizing I’d been bulldozing creative projects at work. That random pause actually helped redesign our website better.

Why I Won’t Do This Again (Probably)

Look, tracking planetary movements felt like doing homework for a cult. Half the time I thought “this is confirmation bias bullshit”. But noticing how I reacted to chaos? That was useful. Next time Mars does its fish dance though? I’m just gonna nap. These cosmic rollercoasters are exhausting.
