So, the other day I was messing around with this Sabian Symbols thing, specifically number 274, and I gotta say, it was a trip. I’d heard about these symbols before, you know, those weird little phrases that are supposed to represent each degree of the zodiac. Sounds kinda out there, right? But I figured, what the heck, let’s give it a shot.
First thing I did was look up what 274 even meant. I tried to find what I needed in some books. It’s supposed to be “The woman past her ‘change of life’ experiences a new love.” Okay, that’s a bit of a mouthful. But I guess it’s about new beginnings, second chances, that sort of thing. I was feeling that, I was ready for something new.
So I’m thinking, how do I actually do this? I mean, it’s not like you can just snap your fingers and have a whole new life, right? I decided to start small. I made a list of stuff I’ve always wanted to try but never got around to. You know how it is, life gets in the way. My list had all sorts of things, from learning to make sourdough bread to finally organizing my closet. Seemed simple enough.
Trying New Things
- Baking: I tried making that bread. It was a mess, honestly. The first few attempts were basically bricks. But I kept at it, watched a bunch of videos, and eventually, I got something that was, well, edible. And you know what? It tasted pretty damn good, if I do say so myself.
- Cleaning: The closet was another story. I spent an entire weekend just going through stuff. Clothes I haven’t worn in years, old papers, you name it. It was kind of emotional, letting go of some of that stuff. But it also felt really good. Like I was making space, literally and figuratively.
- Meeting people: That same friend also pushed me to go to this book club thing. I was nervous as hell. I’m not exactly a social butterfly. But I went, and it was actually kind of fun. Talked about books, met some cool people. Who knew?
It’s been a few weeks now, and I’m still going. I’m not saying my life has completely transformed or anything. But I do feel different. I feel more open, more willing to try new things. More connected with my family, my friends. I even started volunteering at the local animal shelter. It’s like I’ve rediscovered a part of myself that I had kind of forgotten about. Maybe that’s what that whole Sabian Symbol 274 thing is really about. It’s not about magic, it’s about taking a chance, doing something different, and seeing where it leads you.
It’s kind of scary, yeah, but it’s also exciting. And I’m glad I took that first step, even if it was just making a dumb list. I think I’m gonna keep this up. Who knows what else I might discover about myself? I realized that, it is really important to try different things in our lives. It’s not easy, but really worth it. At least, that is my experience.
