The astrologer and me: Day 1/335

I recently visited an astrologer—someone who also happens to be a close friend of my dad’s.

Over the years, I’ve come to trust him deeply. His advice has almost always pointed me in the right direction, and many of his predictions have come true in ways that are hard to ignore. He’s someone who blends solid understanding of math and science with astrology, which makes his insights feel both grounded and powerful.


This time, he said something that really struck me. He told me that the next 11 months (till 2 June 2026) could be truly transformative for me—that this period holds the potential for big, positive shifts in my life. But, he added, it all depends on how I choose to use this time—especially if I find ways to monetize my efforts wisely.

That conversation left me thinking. What if he’s right again? What if this is a rare window of opportunity?

So, I’ve decided to take this seriously. I want to make the next 335 days count—treat them as a personal project, a reset, or even a launchpad. I want to give it my all and see how far I can go if I fully commit to building something meaningful and positive.


Day 1/335

As I begin this journey, I want to be honest about where I’m starting from. My career lately has left me feeling stuck and unmotivated. 

The work has become increasingly repetitive and, frankly, uninspiring. Even when I get to share ideas in meetings, there’s rarely a chance to apply creativity or learn something new.

I’ve tried to take on new projects, but they too end up feeling monotonous, taking up a lot of my time without much personal growth.

Still, I don’t want to ignore the positives. I’ve gained experience, learned valuable lessons, and I’m grateful for those.

But I know I can’t keep going like this. It’s time to realign my career with what really matters to me. I want to build a path that’s more rewarding, meaningful, and creative—somewhere I can truly thrive.

As a first step, I’m going to rework my resume and portfolio and share them publicly so people can see what I have to offer. I’ll also be working on the portfolio page on my blog.

 This is just the start, but I’m committed to making these next 335 days count.
