Back in 2018, I was really into astrology and all that stuff. When I saw the money predictions for Virgos in 2018, I got super curious and decided to follow them to see what would happen.
First off, I printed out those predictions and stuck them on my wall. The first prediction said that I should start a small side – hustle in the first quarter of the year. So, I got to work. I started making handmade candles at home. I bought all the materials like wax, wicks, and essential oils. Then I spent my evenings melting the wax, adding the scents, and pouring them into little jars. It was a lot of work, but I was excited to see if this would bring in some extra cash.
The second prediction was about being more careful with my spending. I used to be pretty careless about where my money went. So, I downloaded a money – tracking app. Every time I bought something, I would open the app and log it. It was a pain at first, but I started to realize how much money I was wasting on stupid things like expensive coffee every day. I cut down on those unnecessary expenses.
Another prediction told me to invest a small amount of money in the stock market around the middle of the year. I was scared at first because I knew nothing about stocks. But I watched a bunch of YouTube videos and read some beginner – friendly articles. Then I opened a brokerage account and invested a few hundred bucks in some well – known companies. I was constantly checking the stock prices, which made me a bit nervous.
As the year went on, I kept following these predictions. There was one about networking and making new business connections. I signed up for some industry events and went to them. It was awkward at first, walking up to strangers and trying to start conversations. But I managed to meet a few people who were interested in my handmade candles.
By the end of 2018, I was really eager to see if all this following of predictions had paid off. Well, my side – hustle of making candles actually started to make a profit. I sold them at local craft fairs and even got some online orders. The money I saved from being more careful with my spending added up to a nice little sum. And my stock investment? It had gone up a bit, not a fortune, but still a gain.
Looking back, it was an interesting experiment. I’m not sure if it was really the astrology predictions that made things work out or just me taking action. But it was a fun and eye – opening year for me when it came to handling my money.
