Alright, so a few of you asked how I actually go about putting together these daily horoscopes, like the ones for Monday, February 24th. It’s not some big secret ritual or anything, just my own little way of doing things, and I figured I’d share what that looked like for that particular day.
So, Monday, February 24th. I remember that morning. First thing, as always, I had to get my coffee. My brain doesn’t really kick into gear properly until I’ve had that first cup. Then, I sat down at my usual spot, trying to get into the zone. Mondays, you know, they have their own kind of vibe. Sometimes a bit slow to start.
I don’t really use super complicated charts or anything fancy like some astrologers do. I’ve seen those setups, looks like a mission control room. For me, it’s more about just… tuning in. Thinking about the date, February 24th. What does a late February Monday feel like? It’s still winter, but maybe there’s a tiny hint that spring isn’t a million miles away. Or maybe it’s just plain cold and grey. I try to get a feel for the general energy first.
Then, I start going through the signs, one by one. Aries, then Taurus, and so on, right down the list. For each one, I sort of picture the essence of that sign. Sometimes I think of people I know who are that sign, and that helps. It’s not like I’m channeling spirits or anything dramatic. It’s more like trying to find the right words for a feeling.
Some days, the words just flow. For a sign or two, it’s like, bang, there it is. Easy. But other times, man, it’s a struggle. I remember for that February 24th, I think I got a bit stuck on one of the earth signs, maybe Virgo? Or was it Capricorn? One of them felt a bit stubborn that day, didn’t want to reveal itself. I’d write something, read it back, and it just wouldn’t feel right. So, delete, try again. It’s a bit like trying to get a finicky old radio to tune into a clear station. Lots of static sometimes.
It’s funny, writing these things. That particular Monday, February 24th, it actually brought back a memory of a completely different Monday, years and years ago. I was working this awful office job, real soul-crushing stuff. And on this one Monday, the main coffee machine for the whole department broke down. You’d think a bomb had gone off. People were just wandering around, dazed and confused. My manager, who was usually pretty laid back, looked like he was about to spontaneously combust. It was pure chaos, all over a lack of coffee. It made me think, wow, people really get thrown off by the smallest disruptions to their routine. It wasn’t even about the coffee itself after a point, it was about the idea of Monday being even worse than usual.
So when I’m writing these horoscopes, especially for a Monday, I often think about stuff like that. About how people are just trying to get through the day. And maybe something I write, some little bit of advice or a thought, might just click with someone who’s having a “broken coffee machine” kind of day, you know? It’s not about predicting lottery numbers, that’s for sure. It’s more about offering a little perspective, maybe.
Anyway, once I’ve got something down for all twelve signs that feels reasonably okay, I’ll read through the whole lot. Just to catch any really obvious mistakes, or if one sign sounds too much like another, or if the tone is just off. Sometimes I tweak a word here, a sentence there. Make sure it all hangs together.
And then, well, then I just put it out there. That’s pretty much the whole process for that Monday, February 24th, and most other days, really. No magic wands, just me, my coffee, and a bit of quiet time trying to make sense of the day ahead for everyone. Hope that gives you a bit of an idea of what goes on behind the scenes!
