So I was reading these prison astrology charts for a buddy’s re-entry program, right? Kept noticing something off – predictions felt too vague when folks asked about life after release. Like telling someone “financial changes are coming” ain’t helpful when they’re stressing about getting a job at Wendy’s.
The Wake-Up Call
Last month, this guy Mike got out after 8 years. His chart showed Jupiter blessing career houses – but he bombed three job interviews back-to-back. Felt like a fraud handing him generic “good fortune coming” interpretations. When his parole officer called asking why my readings didn’t match reality? Man, that stung.
How I Fixed This Mess
Reached out to three prison counselors who use astrology. Here’s exactly what changed:
- Stopped using birth time only – now I overlay release date transits too. Wrote release dates in red ink right on the natal charts.
- Swapped fluffy language for concrete timing – instead of “opportunities arising”, I now say “apply to warehouses in September when Mercury moves”.
- Added post-release moon cycles – marked the first three full moons after release as critical checkpoints.
- Highlighted Mars positions – red circles on conflict zones so they know when to avoid heated situations.
- Ditched traditional “lucky days” – created custom “low-risk days” calendars based on their specific chart.
The Test Run
Tried this new system with Sarah getting out last Tuesday. Her chart showed Saturn hitting her 10th house – usually means career delays. But we focused on:
- Venus transiting her money sector this Thursday – perfect for negotiating hourly wages
- New moon in her communication house next week – circled that for interview prep
- Mars-Venus clash on the 15th – big red X over that date for appointments
Texted her yesterday – landed a diner job at $15/hour. Manager scheduled her orientation specifically on Venus transit day. Felt like fist-pumping victory when she texted “that calendar thing WORKED”.
Still tweaking things weekly. The main lesson? Astrology ain’t fortune cookies – especially for folks rebuilding lives. Gotta make the stars talk like a damn survival guide.
