Stuck in a rut, without a vocation
She scoured through horoscope sections for any insinuation
That her life would soon on an upward swing be
Bringing job prospects and money
She alternated between job searches and horoscopes on the net
Nothing was changing, she re-examined her skill set
With a flair for writing an ability uncanny
To concoct stories interesting, she started thinking of the many
Ways to exploit her talent, she tried to obtain
Writing assignments, but remuneration was not worth the pain
Feeling dejected, wallowing in self-pity one day
Staring at her horoscope that promised success coming her way
A light bulb suddenly went off in her mind
An idea worth exploring, maybe this was a sign
Her interest in horoscopes and her writer’s background
Seemed to have finally found a common ground
She decided to learn the basics of astrology
(Online courses were abundant, this was a good strategy)
Then proceeded to start a modest website
That churned out horoscopes against a background bright
With a pinch of science and tons of imagination
She made interesting and actionable predictions
Soon her readership grew (there were many lost souls like her)
She knew how to give hope to those who suffered..
Her popularity grew, advertisers chimed in on her website
Soon she started charging for her predictions, the price was just right
For miserable folks to spend their hard-earned money
On any semblance of hope, she literally charged in pennies
Soon she was busy from morning to night
Spreading hope all around, she simply knew the right
Words to comfort people, give them hope where existed none
Within a year an authority in astrology she had become
She was invited to give TED talks that became popular
She became a diva, a public figure
Interesting it was that her prediction
For her zodiac sign never came to fruition
She knew it was a figment of her imagination
Yet she yearned for something to give her craft a validation…
Then one day after having written a love horoscope for her zodiac sign
She ran into a young man and her stars aligned
A new romance blossomed, according to her prediction
Her writing was finally more than just fiction
She is happily married now, and continues to write
Horoscopes on her enormously popular website!
Passion...unbridled
