Man, I never thought I’d be writing about this stuff. I mean, astrology, weekly guides, the whole shebang? Always seemed like total rubbish to me. Just vague, feel-good paragraphs that anyone could read and nod along to. You know the drill. My life was pretty much running on autopilot—work grind, trying to keep the side project alive, and arguing over whose turn it was to empty the dishwasher. Stable, but definitely not needing any cosmic intervention.
The Day I Needed Something, Anything
Then last month hit. I got completely and utterly screwed over. Not in a small way, either. It was the big, six-figure deal I’d been working on for six months, the one that was supposed to clear all my debts and let me finally relax a little. The client, a total snake, pulled the plug right at the 11th hour, citing some lame, fabricated contract issue. I lost the money, I lost the time, and honestly, I nearly lost my damn mind.
I was sitting there, staring at the ceiling for two days straight, feeling like the universe was actually, actively working against me. Every logical move I tried just slammed me into a brick wall. I was desperate for an “edge,” not a professional one, but just a tiny little crack of ‘something’ to feel like I had control again.
That’s when I saw the stupid banner ad. You know the one. Something about “Pisces Good Luck” for the week. Usually, I just swipe past it, but I was so far down the rabbit hole of helplessness, I clicked. I paid the ridiculous ten bucks for the “Indastro Weekly Guide,” telling myself it was just an absurd, expensive form of therapy. A desperate Hail Mary pass.
My Stupid Weekly Experiment
The guide arrived and it was exactly the vague nonsense I expected. It was full of stuff like “align your energies,” “favorable time windows,” and “connect with an older Earth sign.” I decided right then I wouldn’t follow it for the ‘luck,’ but for the discipline. I was treating it like a mandatory, personal, and utterly ridiculous set of chores.
Here’s what I did for seven days:
-
Mandatory Blue: The guide insisted on “vibrant shades of blue” on Monday and Tuesday for emotional clarity. I’m a black and gray T-shirt kind of guy. I had to dig deep into the back of my closet and found this faded, light-blue button-down shirt from a wedding I went to years ago. I wore it. Felt like a total schmuck all day. The shirt wasn’t lucky, it was just uncomfortable.
-
The “Avoid” List: It said to “postpone discussions regarding large investments on Thursday” and “avoid anything related to the number seven all week.” I had a small investment meeting scheduled for Thursday. It was just ten minutes, but I pushed it to Friday morning purely because the guide said not to do it. The guy I was meeting was fine with the change. Zero drama, just an extra day to prep.
-
The “Focus Window”: This was the most interesting part. The guide mentioned a specific “lucky window” on Wednesday morning, between 9:30 AM and 11:00 AM, for “candid and proactive communication that leads to unexpected financial returns.” Total fluff, right?
Well, I had an email I really needed to write. It was to the lawyer about the massive, six-figure screw-up, detailing the whole mess, and I’d been putting it off because it was just too depressing to articulate. I decided, hell, if I’m doing this, I’ll use the stupid “lucky window.”
I sat down at 9:30 AM sharp, blue shirt and all (it was Wednesday, why not?), and spent an hour and a half just hammering out the most crystal-clear, unemotional, bullet-pointed summary of the contract breach I could manage. I wasn’t relying on ‘luck’; I was relying on the mindset the guide forced on me—a deadline and a focus point—to stop procrastinating and actually do the hard, necessary work.
The Aftermath of the “Luck”
Did I win the lottery? Did a long-lost relative leave me a stack of cash? No, of course not. The lawyer replied to that email within two hours, saying, “This is the most organized summary I’ve received all week. This makes my job much easier.”
That immediate, positive feedback wasn’t magic. It was the result of a forced, intentional hour and a half of focused work that I would have otherwise done half-heartedly or simply put off until Friday. The “unexpected financial return” wasn’t a windfall; it was the psychological win of moving the giant, depressing legal boulder a few feet down the road, giving me a sense of control back.
The whole ridiculous experiment showed me the guides don’t give you luck; they give you a structure for intentional focus, especially when you’re feeling completely lost. The vague advice becomes a weird kind of task list. The fact that I was so desperate I was willing to wear a blue shirt just made me more conscious of every little thing I did that week. It was less about the stars, and more about me forcing myself to stop wallowing and start moving.
It didn’t fix the massive debt, but it kickstarted my brain back into “get stuff done” mode, and sometimes, when things are totally collapsing, that’s the only edge you really need.
