My August 2017 Virgo Journey
Okay, so August 2017 rolls around. Like always, my Virgo self feels this weird urge to get stuff organized. Felt that itch to improve something. Then I stumble on this set of Virgo horoscope tips specifically for that August. Thought, “Why not try actually doing this stuff?” Just reading it feels pointless. Gotta live it, right?
First thing it mentioned? Clear your damn space. Virgo energy thrives on order, apparently. My home office looked like a paper bomb went off. Books piled up, loose papers everywhere, cables tangling like spaghetti. Decided that Saturday morning was the time. Grabbed three boxes: Trash, Donate, Keep. Started sorting ruthlessly. Old printouts I’d never need? Trashed. Novels I hadn’t touched in years? Donated box. Useful stuff got sorted into labelled folders. Felt good wiping down the desk afterward. Simple, but man, breathing felt easier.
Next tip screamed at me: Focus on daily routines and health. My mornings were pure chaos – snoozing alarms, rushing, skipping breakfast. Ugh. The horoscope suggested tiny, consistent health habits. So, for the whole month, I forced myself:
- No snooze button. This sucked. Waking up instantly felt cruel for the first week.
- Five minutes of stretching right after getting up. Just simple stuff, touching toes, arm circles.
- Actually eating breakfast, not just coffee. Kept Greek yogurt and granola handy.
Didn’t always hit it perfect – definitely had some “forgot to buy yogurt, dry cereal it is” days. But aiming for it helped.
The career section grabbed my attention too. It hinted at attention to detail paying off mid-month. Had this work report coming up that normally I’d slap together. But I thought, “Fine, Virgo precision mode activated.” Spent double the time checking my numbers, rereading sentences for clarity, formatting everything neatly. Felt almost obsessive. Then, boom – submitted it, and my boss actually pulled me aside to say he appreciated the thoroughness. Wasn’t a promotion, but felt like a small win? Maybe the stars were onto something.
Then, the universe threw a curveball. The tips mentioned possible unexpected social connections near the end of August. Honestly? Felt skeptical. But then, out of the blue, got invited to a casual barbecue by an old colleague I barely kept up with. Almost didn’t go – just wanted to veg out. Remembered the tip, sighed, dragged myself there. Ended up chatting with someone totally random there who worked in a field I was curious about. Wasn’t life-changing, but got some legit useful insights. Weird coincidence, or Virgo vibes? Who knows.
Overall, honestly? Not all the tips magically transformed me. Some days I totally forgot about the whole thing. Life just happens. But trying to pick one or two bits to genuinely act on that month? Yeah, that felt productive. Less stressful workspace, slightly better mornings, that tiny work recognition, a random useful chat… Focusing on those little practical tweaks the horoscope suggested actually made the month feel smoother. Less drifting. Should try this again sometime.
