I faked knowing astrology to get laid and now I run a full moon newsletter.

r/

Met a girl at a bookstore. She asked my sign. I panicked and said “Cancer rising, Pisces moon, emotionally hydrated” whatever that means.

She looked at me like I’d just read her soul.

Long story short: I got lucky.

Problem is… she told her friends. Now I’ve somehow become “the emotionally intuitive guy who knows your Venus placement.”

I’ve read enough birth charts to qualify for a fake PhD.

I have an email list.

I told a coworker Mercury was in Gatorade just to buy myself a meeting extension.

And worst of all?

…I think I believe in this shit now.

TL;DR

Lied about astrology to get laid. Now I give people spiritual guidance at brunch.

    Don’t worry, any guy saying he’s into Astrology does it for the exact same reason.

    Nobody sane actually believes in that bullshit.

    Mercury in the Gatorade was actually an alternate ending to Terminator 2, in which where T1000 travels to Gotham and faces off with Bane at the stadium that Bane bombed or whatever purple monkey dishwasher.

    Time to start a Substack my dude – and get paid.

    Give away some nice bits in the free section, but hint at the mysteries within.

    Get your girlfriend and her friends to out the word out.

    This could be a nice little side hustle for you!

    It’s easy to believe because that’s how it works.. it’s all vague enough to apply to just about anyone. And when it doesn’t, we tend to forget or not care.

    This is hilarious! I’m dying at the ‘Mercury in Gatorade’ line. The whole thing is a wild ride, and I’m invested in seeing how this full moon newsletter business plays out. Please update us!

    Yesterday I learned that LuLu Lemon clothing, the company that became popular for Yoga pants for women, is made in China by people who would would pronounce it “Woo-Woo Women.” Your post reminded me of that thought.

    Don’t worry, you can’t lie about something that’s not real to begin with.
