Okay, so this week I decided to dive into something totally new for me – astrology. I’ve always been a bit skeptical, but a friend kept going on about how accurate her horoscopes were, and I figured, why not? I’m a Capricorn, and I’ve been feeling a little lost in the love department lately, so I searched for “capricorn single love horoscope this week.”
The first thing I did was, simply, searched it. It felt silly at first, typing it into the search bar. I scrolled through a bunch of websites, most of which looked, well, a bit too “woo-woo” for my taste. Lots of sparkly graphics and vague pronouncements.
I finally found a couple that seemed a bit more down-to-earth. One was from a bigger, well-known astrology site, and the other was from a smaller blog that just felt more… genuine, I guess. I decided to read both and see if they said anything that resonated.
Reading the Horoscopes
The Big Site: This one was pretty general. It talked about “opening my heart to new possibilities” and “embracing the unexpected.” It mentioned something about Venus being in a favorable position, which, I’ll be honest, I have no clue what that means. It was all very positive, but it didn’t really feel like it was talking about me, you know?
The Smaller Blog: This one was more specific. It talked about how Capricorns might be feeling a bit hesitant to put themselves out there this week, maybe because of past disappointments. It mentioned that there might be an opportunity for a connection with someone unexpected, maybe someone I already know but haven’t thought of in a romantic way before. It suggested taking a small risk, like starting a conversation with someone I find interesting.
My “Experiment”
I decided to take the smaller blog’s advice. I mean, what did I have to lose? There’s this guy, Mark, who works in a different department at my office. We always chat a bit when we run into each other in the break room, and he’s always seemed really nice and funny. I’ve never really thought of him as someone I’d date, but… well, why not?
So, I made a point of “accidentally” running into him in the break room a couple of times this week. I started a few conversations, just casual stuff about work and weekend plans. And you know what? It was… nice. He’s really easy to talk to, and we actually have a lot in common. I even made him laugh a few times, which felt pretty good.
The Result (So Far!)
Okay, so I’m not suddenly in a whirlwind romance. But, I did step outside my comfort zone a little, and it was positive. I don’t know if Mark and I will ever be anything more than friendly coworkers, but it was a good reminder that sometimes, you just have to put yourself out there a little. Even if the “push” comes from something as seemingly random as a horoscope.
Will I become a full-on astrology believer? Probably not. But this little experiment definitely made me a bit more open-minded. And hey, even if it’s just a placebo effect, feeling a bit more hopeful about love is never a bad thing, right?
