Leo Horoscope Vogue Predictions: Will July Bring Big Money Surprises
So I got curious about all those fancy Leo money predictions popping up everywhere, saw that July was supposed to have “big money surprises” for us Lions. Figured, what the heck, let’s actually track this thing myself instead of just reading it. Skeptical as always, you know?
The Starting Point: Leo Money Vibes
First thing Monday morning, July 1st, I grabbed my coffee and cracked open a notebook. Old-school pen and paper, none of those fancy apps. Wrote “LEO JULY MONEY TEST” across the top page in big letters. Felt kinda silly, honestly. Underneath, I scribbled: “Goal: Track every single penny coming in or out. See if any ‘surprises’ show up.”
Stuck that notebook right next to my coffee machine. Every morning, while the pot gurgled, I’d flip it open and jot down anything money-related from the day before. Kept it simple: income, spending, unexpected stuff. Highlighted the weird stuff in bright yellow.
The Hustle & The Hiccups
First week dragged on. Paycheck landed like clockwork. Bills got paid. Groceries got bought. Yawn. Nothing screamed “big money surprise” unless you count finding an extra $5 in my winter coat pocket. Score? Not really. Started thinking this whole thing was pure nonsense.
Then around mid-month, things got messy. Friend suddenly needed to borrow $50 for a flat tire. Could have said no, but eh, it’s Dave. Wrote that down as “Unexpected OUT: Help Dave.” Felt vaguely ripped off, horoscope-wise.
The Tiny Wins & Near Misses
Kept forcing myself to write it all down. Got paid a day early for some freelance gig – unexpected! Wrote “Surprise? IN: Early payment.” Threw an extra $20 bucks into savings like it was a lottery win. Felt good, man.
Next, almost choked on my coffee reading a parking ticket slapped on my windshield. $75! Definitely unexpected OUT. Grumbled about it for two whole pages in the notebook.
- Tracking Methods I Used:
- Old-school notebook by the coffee maker.
- Highlighted anything odd (good or bad).
- Small transfers to savings counted as “winning”.
- Loans to friends & stupid fines counted as “losing”.
Seriously, felt like the universe was just messing with me. Ups and downs, but mostly sideways. Forget the promised land of “big money surprises”; I was battling parking tickets and loose change.
The Final Tally & Reality Check
Sit down last night to total it all up. Pulled out the notebook. Crunched numbers on my phone calculator. Final result?
Net “Surprise” for July: Negative $23.
Yep. Between Dave’s flat tire, that cursed parking ticket, and forgetting I’d already auto-paid a subscription (double charge!), I ended the month slightly down on the “surprise” front. The freelance early payment was nice, but inflation ate it for lunch.
Learned one big thing, though: Tracking every dollar makes you realize how much crap just vanishes. Didn’t find a secret stash of cash under my mattress. Nobody slipped a winning lottery ticket into my pocket. The “big money surprise” was that my brain thought tracking pennies would magically summon cash.
Verdict? If astrology’s got money predictions, maybe they mean “surprise! you’re still broke.” Or maybe Dave owes me fifty bucks.
