So, you know how these monthly horoscopes go, right? Always some vague stuff about ‘opportunities’ and ‘challenges.’ But back in March 2021, I decided I wasn’t just gonna read my Pisces prediction—I was gonna actively track if this ‘love life going up’ thing was actually true for me. I needed some real-world data, man, not just flowery language.
The Setup: Tracking My Vibe
I started with a super simple system. I grabbed a cheap notebook—one of those spiral-bound ones—and just dedicated a page for each week in March. The goal was to jot down any interaction, feeling, or signal that could be remotely categorized as ‘love life’ related. I wasn’t looking for a marriage proposal; even a good conversation counted.
I designated three simple metrics, rating them out of 5:
- Vibe Check (VC): General feeling about my romantic potential for the day/week.
- Interaction Count (IC): Number of positive, meaningful interactions with potential romantic interests.
- Self-Care Score (SCS): Because if I wasn’t feeling good about myself, how could love happen, right?
When I kicked this off, my VC was probably a shaky 2.5. IC? Let’s be real, a solid 1. SCS was the only one holding up, maybe a 4, mostly because I was actually going to the gym then.
Week 1: The Grind Starts (March 1-7)
The first few days were brutal. I was trying too hard. I messaged a few people I hadn’t talked to in ages, and it was just awkward. I realized I was forcing the ‘upward trend.’ My VC dropped to a 2. I was ready to scrap the whole experiment.
But then, on Friday, something small happened. I was waiting for coffee, and I just genuinely complimented the barista’s shirt. No ulterior motive, just a nice shirt. She smiled, we had a quick, easy chat. That went into the notebook as an IC score of 1. It wasn’t ‘love,’ but it was positive interaction. It felt genuine. My VC nudged back up to 3.
Week 2: Momentum Builds (March 8-14)
I stopped forcing the issue and just focused on being present. I started taking my self-care seriously again—better sleep, cleaner eating. My SCS shot up to a 5. Surprisingly, that seemed to be the trigger. I was feeling confident, less needy.
I bumped into an old acquaintance at the park (remember, this was still mostly outdoor interaction time). We talked for like an hour about music. It was easy. We exchanged numbers. That was a big IC jump. I logged three solid ICs this week. The VC hit a steady 4.
The prediction was starting to feel less like nonsense and more like a self-fulfilling prophecy. When I was feeling good, I attracted good stuff.
Week 3: Peak Pisces Energy (March 15-21)
This was the week everything clicked. I actually went out on that casual park hang with the acquaintance from Week 2. It was fantastic. We laughed a lot. The chemistry was undeniable. I felt completely relaxed, which is rare for me on first meetings.
The key moment was when I stopped analyzing every text message and just enjoyed the moment. My notebook entries became less about counting interactions and more about describing feelings. Joy, anticipation, lightness.
VC: 5. IC: 4 (including that date and some follow-up good chats). The prediction of my “love life going up” felt absolutely true this week. I was getting butterflies I hadn’t felt in years.
Week 4: The Landing (March 22-31)
The rest of the month smoothed out nicely. The connection from Week 3 developed into something consistent and really promising. We made plans for April. The intensity leveled out, but the warmth remained.
I realized the horoscope wasn’t a magic spell; it was a prompt. It made me conscious of my romantic life and focused my energy there. I wasn’t just waiting for love to fall into my lap; I was showing up for myself, which made me attractive to others.
So, yeah, the Pisces prediction for March 2021? For me, it was spot on. But not because the stars aligned perfectly. It was because I took that prediction and turned it into an actionable self-improvement project. I tracked my vibes, and I actively raised them. Worked like a charm.
