Okay so last week I decided to test this whole astrology-money timing thing. Got curious after reading some forum posts about planetary movements affecting cash flow. Thought hell why not try it myself? If it works, awesome. If not, just another Tuesday.
Step 1: Tracking the Damn Stars
First I dug through three different zodiac apps to pinpoint when Mercury would be friendly for Virgos. Almost went cross-eyed comparing moon phases and astro calendars. Finally circled Wednesday between 9AM-11AM when Venus was in some prosperous house thingy. Honestly? Felt kinda silly setting alarms for planet hours.
Step 2: Money Prep Work
Tuesday night I did the boring adult stuff:
- Papered my desk with overdue bills
- Crunched numbers for my brokerage account
- Dug up that forgotten PayPal balance
Found $87 in random subscriptions I never use – score! Also realized I’d been paying double for cloud storage since June. Classic Virgo oversight right there.
Showtime: The Money Dance
Wednesday 9:03AM sharp – got my laptop fired up with coffee IV drip. Mercury must’ve been feeling generous cause:
✔️ Negotiated Comcast bill down $20/month
✔️ Transferred stocks during market dip
✔️ FINALLY set up automatic savings
Weirdest part? My credit card payment glitched mid-transaction at 10:46AM. Panicked for five minutes till it finally went through. Guess Venus doesn’t like rushing.
Aftermath & Takeaways
Honestly expected cosmic fireworks but just felt… organized? What actually worked was forcing myself to sit down and deal with finances. Though that $87 refund hit my account Thursday morning – maybe Jupiter was still vibing? Main lesson: Stars won’t pay your bills but they make decent accountability buddies. Might retest during next Mercury retrograde just for kicks.
