Industrial Horoscope

Brought to you by the stars, the smoke, and the ghost of Bubba Reynolds (who fell down the east terminal smokestack last November)

Interpreted by Miss Ludell – the Lube Tech Oracle

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)

You’re fired up this week- possibly literally. Double-check your welder’s mask and your emotional restraint. A missed safety meeting could lead to a reprimand or a forklift incident.  Be careful.

Lucky Tool: Your Milwaukee Brand tape measures with all the numbers worn off.

Warning Sign: Run the other way when Supervisor says “Can I talk to you for a sec?”

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)

Like a pipe left too long in the sun, you’re warping under pressure. Trust your instincts but maybe not that guy in Procurement who says he can “get you a deal on diesel.”

Power Move: Nap in the cab with sunglasses on.

Lucky Aroma: A distant brisket truck on a humid wind.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)

You’re being pulled in two directions: one toward self-improvement, the other toward Chantilly Room karaoke night. Remember… both can lead to transcendence. But only one involves “Wichita Lineman.”

Vibe Forecast: Light sarcasm with a chance of Layoffs.

Lucky Color: OSHA Orange.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)

The moon pulls your tides and your transmission fluid. Something’s leaking this week: could be your truck, could be your patience. Patch what you can and fake the rest.

Lucky Snack: Luke warm kolache left in your glove box since Tuesday.

Ritual Item: A roll of blue shop towels soaked in gin cleaner.

LEO (July 23 – Aug 22)

You’re the king of the yard until the new guy shows up with brand new steel toes and a Bluetooth headset. Don’t roar too loud, HR’s got a new snitch with a clipboard and a mission.

Cosmic Alignment: Venus in Retrograde, You in Overtime.

Warning Phrase: “Mandatory training module.”

VIRGO (Aug 23 – Sept 22)

Your respirator is clogged and your heart is feeling  hollow. Recalibrate. Mercury’s messing with your measurements don’t trust the gauges unless they’re taped to your gut.

Best Excuse: “No sir, that hose was already like that.”

Lucky Lunch: Leftover Popeyes reheated on the side of a flare stack.

LIBRA (Sept 23 – Oct 22)

Balancing work and life? Hah. You’re balancing a cup of Buc-ee’s coffee, three broken promises, and a new foreman who smells like WD-40 and mothballs.

Astrological Hazard: Over-ordering from the safety catalog.

Recommended Offering: Half a Slim Jim to the ghost that haunts the maintenance closet.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your sting is sharp this week. Perfect time to settle old scores or finally confront the vending machine that keeps eating your quarters. Time to pick a fight in the parking lot during shift change.

Lucky Phrase: “That’s above my pay grade, Ralph.”

Unlucky Encounter: A raccoon in the breakroom wearing your old PPE.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

You’re dreaming big like “move to Kemah and open a bait stand” big. Don’t ignore the signs, especially if they say “Corrosive Vapors Present.”

Ritual Tool: That screwdriver that’s also a bottle opener.

Cosmic Truth: Your ex still owes you for that tool bag.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

The stars say: ‘grind’. You say:’ always have!’. You’re the backbone of the operation, even if no one refilled the welding rod bin.

Power Symbol: A bent ladder that no one will admit to bending or your dented tailgate 

Omen: Sudden wind carrying a flammable scent and unburned hydrocarbons. Stay alert. 

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

Big ideas, bold talk, and half-finished projects. Your aura smells like old pair of Red Wings and despair. Channel it into art, or at least a new playlist for night shift.

Unlucky Spirit Animal: Confused pelican in a hardhat.

Vision Quest: Go sit in your truck and stare into space for 11 minutes.

PISCES (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

Water sign, meet the bay. Something ancient stirs beneath the marsh—might be your creativity, might be a three-eyed catfish seeking vengeance.

Ideal Escape: Cigarette by the shipping container that used to be an office.

Warning Dream: A flare stack flickering in Morse code.
