Okay, so this morning I grabbed my coffee and figured I’d tackle that July 25 horoscope guide idea bouncing in my head. First thing I did was dig out my old astrology journals – you know, those notebooks stuffed with scribbles from past planetary transits. Flipped through pages looking for patterns around late July dates. Found some notes about Leo season kicking in strong around then last year.
Next, I fired up the laptop. Pulled up three different astrology apps I trust, plus that dog-eared ephemeris book sitting on my shelf. Wanted real-time planet positions for the 25th. Took me like twenty minutes just cross-checking Mercury’s retrograde path between the apps ’cause one showed it in Leo already while others had it lingering in Cancer. Annoying, but got it sorted.
Started drafting for each sign. Focused hard on three things: how the Mars-Jupiter clash might mess with decisions, where Venus chillin’ in Virgo affects daily routines, and why that Cancer moon makes emotions feel all raw. Jotted bullet points first:
- Aries: Watch for impulse buys – Mars has you reckless
- Taurus: Venus helps tidy your space, fix that leaky faucet
- Gemini: Mercury retrograde? Triple-check emails before sending
Got stuck on Scorpio though. That Pluto energy was tricky – kept rewriting whether to emphasize power struggles at work or digging up old secrets. Ended up pacing around the room chewing on my pen cap until it clicked: both. Sometimes you gotta let the planets tell the messy truth.
Finished with a paragraph about why this date feels heavier than usual. Sun squaring Uranus? Yeah, surprises are guaranteed. Took a breath and hit publish. Might edit later if Neptune makes me second-guess everything, but right now? Coffee’s cold and the notebook’s closed. Done.
