Getting Started
So Wednesday morning I’m chugging coffee scrolling through emails when this idea hits me – why not combine astrology with career planning? I grab my scratched-up notebook and scribble “Work Forecast” at the top. First I listed out three core things to track: team interactions, project deadlines, and my own energy dips.
The Process
Each morning before opening Slack I did two things:
- Checked Virgo transits on this free app
- Predicted how planetary stuff might screw up my day
Like when Mercury went wonky Tuesday, I actually scheduled all important convos before lunch. Crazy how that backfired-proof my meetings!
Notebook looked like a warzone by Friday:
Delegate graphics taskNOPE (Mars clashing)- Bolded “THURSDAY = ASK FOR RAISE” during Jupiter peak
- Red circles around admin work when moon was chill
What Actually Went Down
Okay truth time – the forecast got three big wins:
- Avoided that trainwreck client call Mercury day
- Pushed budget talk til Jupiter hour (got approved!)
- Caught my 3pm energy crash and scheduled power naps
But let’s keep it real:
- Totally spaced on a minor Venus report
- Overestimated how much I could get done during Neptune fog
- My colleague Karen didn’t suddenly become less annoying
Final Takeaway
Honestly? As a skeptic I’m shook this kinda worked. Won’t say stars ran my week but noticing planetary patterns helped me work smarter. Planning to keep a trimmed-down version next week focusing just on energy peaks and communication windows. Maybe even track my damn coffee intake too.
