The Great GaneshaSpeaks Love Life Tracking Experiment
Man, let me tell you, I hit a rough patch last year. Everything felt sideways. Work was slow, my friendships were fine, but the dating scene? Absolutely dead. I was sitting there one rainy Tuesday, scrolling through the usual junk, when I just decided I needed a sign. I didn’t want therapy; I wanted a roadmap. I wanted to know if this whole love thing was even worth the effort anymore.
I stumbled across GaneshaSpeaks while I was doom-scrolling through some obscure astrology forums. Everyone was raving about how spot-on their predictions were, especially for Pisces. And since I’m a textbook Pisces—dreamy, sensitive, the whole nine yards—I figured, what the hell. I dove in. But I didn’t just read the monthly report; I decided to treat this like a serious, practical field test. I was going to measure its accuracy against real-world chaos.
Setting Up the Tracking Protocol
The first thing I did was create a dedicated note on my phone. I didn’t trust myself to remember the flowery language, so every time the new monthly Pisces love forecast dropped, usually around the 28th of the previous month, I copied the entire thing word-for-word. This started last September.
My tracking method was simple, but rigid:
- I transcribed the core prediction (e.g., “A new flame sparks,” or “Beware of misunderstandings with long-term partners”).
- I assigned a prediction confidence score (1 to 5, 5 being absolute certainty predicted).
- I dedicated a daily log entry to track potential candidates or conflicts matching the prediction.
- At the end of the month, I assigned an accuracy rating (A, B, C, D, or F) based on how events actually unfolded.
I committed to this. I was treating my love life like a project plan, tracking variables like I was building some amateur database in my garage. It was intense, and maybe a little pathetic, but it was my practice.
The September Debacle and The October False Alarm
The September prediction was vague: “You may feel isolated, but trust that new energy is building in the cosmos.” I rated the confidence 2. Throughout September, I felt nothing. Isolation was already the default setting. I went on one terrible blind date that lasted 45 minutes and involved him talking exclusively about cryptocurrency. Nothing “new” sparked. I gave September an F. This entire experiment was already looking like a bust, but I decided I couldn’t quit two weeks in. That’s not how you prove or disprove anything.
October arrived, and GaneshaSpeaks got dramatic. “A chance encounter with someone influential changes your social trajectory. This person may hold the key to deep, romantic fulfillment.” I rated the confidence 4. I hauled myself out to three different social events, actively looking for this “influential” person. On the 18th, I met someone at a charity function. They were sharp, successful, and yes, seemed influential. We exchanged numbers. I was thrilled! I mentally bumped my accuracy score up to a B+.
Guess what happened? Three days later, she texted me to ask if I would like to join her multi-level marketing scheme selling expensive face cream. That was the “deep, romantic fulfillment.” I gave October a D- because technically, the encounter did “change my social trajectory”—it made me change my mind about leaving the house. I felt completely played by the stars.
The Turning Point and The True Conclusion
By November, I was skeptical, but I kept the process going purely out of stubbornness. The November prediction warned of “past relationship baggage resurfacing.” Now, this actually happened, not in a romantic way, but my ex-girlfriend (who I had zero interest in) called me needing help moving furniture because her current boyfriend had bailed. I spent a miserable Saturday driving a rental truck. It matched the prediction, but it wasn’t romance. It was just manual labor and bad karma. November got a C.
I kept tracking into December and January, faithfully logging the predictions. They were all over the map. Sometimes they were so generic they applied to anyone who breathed (e.g., “communication improves”). Other times they were oddly specific but completely wrong (e.g., “an overseas journey related to love”). I didn’t even have a valid passport.
After four full months of meticulously charting cosmic guidance against my utterly mundane life, I realized something important. The horoscopes weren’t accurate, but the practice of tracking them was incredibly revealing.
I had been actively looking for love based on an external prompt, rather than just living my life. My “practice” proved that I was spending more energy analyzing vague digital advice than actually connecting with people organically. I was trying to fit real, messy humans into neat little astrological boxes.
So, did true romance finally arrive? No. But I finally arrived at a better conclusion. I stopped reading GaneshaSpeaks cold turkey last February. I deleted the tracking note. I focused on hobbies I actually enjoyed, like restoring old motorcycles. And you know what happened? I met someone at a hardware store while arguing with a clerk about thread measurements. No cosmic influence required. She’s great. She thinks horoscopes are totally nuts, which, after my four-month deep dive, I now agree with entirely.
The practice taught me the predictions are useless, but the effort I put into the tracking proved how much I actually wanted to find someone. And once I pointed that energy inward instead of outward, things finally clicked. Sometimes the best prediction tool is just realizing you don’t need a prediction tool at all.
