Imagine some system task running like your computer was a potato. Then you look for the reason, and it’s because the task is a CPU hog, and its associated planet is in Cancer/Scorpio/Pisces.

In fact even system daemons and kernel threads (Saturn) will be a mess, 2.5 years per zodiacal sign.
So yeah, fucking dumb idea. But brilliant at the same time.
