Man, 2023. What a ride. When I first saw that headline about Pisces women and “big money” dates, I honestly just rolled my eyes. I’m usually all about hard data, strategy roadmaps, and P&L statements. Astrological charts? That’s a bunch of garbage I scroll past when I’m doomscrolling LinkedIn.
So, why did I stop scrolling and decide to run an actual, tracked experiment on this nonsense? Because I was pulling my hair out trying to figure out how to scale my consulting gig, that’s why. I had left my stable corporate job in late 2022—not voluntarily, let’s just say there was a massive restructuring and my severance package looked sadder than my 401k statement. I had to pivot, fast. I was working double-time trying to land anchor clients, and the initial cash flow was terrible. I needed some kind of mechanism, even a stupid psychological trick, to force myself into aggressive action.
The Setup: Grabbing the Garbage Data
My first step? I dug up the damn dates. I spent an embarrassing hour tracking down three different viral posts and averaging out what they called the “Peak Financial Earning Dates” for a Pisces woman in 2023. I landed on three key windows that everyone seemed to agree on:
- March 14th – March 17th (A strong Mars-Jupiter alignment, apparently.)
- June 1st – June 5th (Something about Venus moving into Leo, whatever that means.)
- November 10th – November 12th (A major full moon activation.)
I took those dates, opened up my massive client-tracking spreadsheet—the one I usually use for boring stuff like pipeline management and conversion metrics—and I highlighted those six days in neon yellow. The plan was simple: these dates were now my “Mandatory Maximum Output Days.”
Executing the Test Strategy
I couldn’t just sit there and wait for money to fall out of the sky on March 15th. This had to be a practical test, forcing real action. So, my strategy became a game of maximizing exposure on those specific dates. This meant weeks of preparation leading up to each window.
I started by identifying my highest-value, longest-shot targets. These were the enterprise clients I was usually too intimidated to pitch because their scope was huge. I needed perfectly crafted, personalized proposals ready to fire off.
For the March window, I spent all of late February and early March just writing, rewriting, and polishing five enormous proposals. I didn’t send them early. I held them. On the morning of March 14th, I hit ‘Send’ on all five pitches before 9:00 AM. I followed up with calls and personalized notes throughout the window, acting like these were the most important workdays of the year.
I repeated this process for June and November. The June target involved setting up specific exploratory discovery calls with three big prospects exactly on June 2nd, forcing the initial commitment. For November, I prepared a special limited-time consulting package, priced high, and marketed it specifically to land on those three days.
What Actually Happened on the “Lucky Dates”
Did the big money instantly materialize on March 15th? Absolutely not. Did a major client call me back on June 3rd to hand me a blank check? Nope. The first time the notification popped up reminding me it was a “Lucky Financial Day,” I actually laughed out loud because I spent that morning dealing with a small client invoice dispute. It was the least lucrative morning of the whole quarter.
But here’s the unexpected twist: The structure worked.
The money didn’t arrive on the dates, but it arrived because of the dates. The pressure I put on myself to maximize those three specific windows forced a discipline I had been missing while juggling five different roles in my new consulting life. Because I executed those five proposals on March 14th, one of them, which was a huge stretch target, finally converted in late April, bringing in the biggest contract of the year. The lead time was long, but the starting gun was the astrology chart.
The June strategy of forced discovery calls? That generated two paying clients by August. Why? Because I didn’t push those calls back. I didn’t let myself get distracted by small tasks. I treated those dates like mandatory, non-negotiable moments of focused financial activity.
The total earnings realized from activities initiated specifically within those three astrological windows ended up being nearly 60% of my total 2023 gross revenue. No joke.
The Verdict: Was it Magic or Just Good Old-Fashioned Pressure?
I’m still not buying the Jupiter alignment thing. It was just a fancy organizational tool. The headline about “big money” was clickbait, but the practice of intentionally stacking my highest-leverage actions into small, concentrated bursts was the real payoff.
I realized that when you’re running your own show, you need arbitrary, external deadlines to push you past the comfort zone. I needed something ridiculous to hold myself accountable, and the idea of missing out on “cosmic financial luck” was just ridiculous enough to make me actually execute the hardest tasks exactly when I scheduled them.
The takeaway I hammered out of this stupid experiment is this: If you struggle with consistency, don’t wait for motivation. Give yourself a ridiculous, fake deadline—whether it’s a full moon, a retrograde, or just Tuesday—and commit 100% to maximizing effort during that specific window. You force yourself to do the preparation, you force the outreach, and the financial results follow, even if the stars had absolutely nothing to do with it.
I’m still tracking the 2024 dates, just in case.
