Okay so this Rat Sign horoscope thing started as a total joke yesterday. My buddy Dave texted me saying “Check Rat Sign for today man, the universe vibes look good!” I laughed thinking he meant actual rats. Like, literally. So I went down this weird rabbit hole.
Where the Whole Rat Thing Began
First, I grabbed my notebook – the messy one with coffee stains – and my favorite blue pen. Flipped to a blank page. Stared at it. Then I thought, “Right, gotta figure out what ‘Rat Sign’ even means!” Wasn’t about to ask Dave, that’d kill the fun. Started doodling a cartoon rat wearing sunglasses. For real.
That made me think about my actual morning: slept late, woke up kinda stiff. Grabbed random leftovers for breakfast instead of making something healthy. Realized my whole day felt kinda aimless, like the rat in my doodle was just wandering around. Maybe that was the “sign”? Things feeling scattered?
How I Actually Used the “Sign”
Decided to roll with it. Wrote down three things:
- Rat Sign Mood: Chill but Scatterbrained.
- Rat Sign Goal: Nibble through piles (aka tackle small annoying tasks).
- Rat Sign Warning: Don’t get distracted by cheese (aka email notifications).
Felt dumb, but also weirdly motivated. Started tackling stuff:
- Sorted that pile of bills on the counter (Rat Goal: Nibble piles). ✅
- Turned OFF my phone notifications for an hour while working on my blog draft (Rat Warning: Distracting cheese). ⚠️ Avoided!
- Took a late afternoon nap because I woke up stiff (Rat Mood: Chill). 😴 Totally justified it by the sign.
The Freaking Amazing Result
Honestly? Best Sunday I’ve had in weeks. Got stuff done without feeling pressured. Embraced the lazy moments without guilt. Wrapping up that blog post felt easy because I wasn’t fretting about all the other “should dos.” Used the silly rat mood to plan a simple dinner too – leftovers again, because why not? Rat logic! This dumb thing somehow tricked me into a perfectly balanced day by accident. Definitely doing Rat Sign again tomorrow. Dave was right about the universe vibes.
