Do’s and dont’s: daylight savings

I am not an astrologist nor do I strictly follow the principles of astrology, however I have the Co-Star app downloaded on my phone and once in a great while I like to hear what those tarot card readers on TikTok have to say about my future. According to these two sources alone, I learned that Saturn and the moon will have a conjunction that only occurs every so many years and will significantly affect a handful of zodiac signs, Taurus included. Since I strongly resonate with every description made about Tauruses, I took the tarot reader's opinions to heart and am hoping to be affected in a positive way. 

I found it coincidental that this event is happening so close to daylight savings, for both events mark the last quarter of the year. Creeping up on us like clockwork, only this time it's sandwiched between Halloween and the presidential election, it signals us to wind down and prepare for the hibernation and horror that are the cold, winter months.

In light of the sun going down earlier and your to-do list getting longer, I offer you a do’s and don’t list. Use what you best see fit and discard the rest, I’ll literally never know.

Do: Something spontaneous. 

I participated in this today by getting a new ear piercing and seriously feel like a million bucks. I’ve been wanting to get my cartilage repeirced for a year now and I finally bit the bullet.

Don’t: Rot in bed. 

I fault this daily, and I bet your bed is comfy, but if you can, try your best not to. 

Do: Prepare for Spotify Wrapped

I have a personal vendetta against Spotify Wrapped because it always humbles me. I’m not completely confident on when they stop collecting data for the year but I believe there is still time. This also can apply to Apple Music users, but I don’t really speak your language.

Don’t: Procrastinate

Whether it be your homework or pulling out your winter coat, stay on top of it! You got this.

Alright, that’s enough from me. Until next time!
