Alright so I finally got around to digging into the Virgo energy for October 2024. I’ve been doing this monthly horoscope practice for a while now, and honestly, it’s become a bit of a ritual for me.
Getting Started
First thing I did was grab my notebook and a decent pen. I always need to write this stuff down by hand, it just feels more real. Then I found a quiet spot on the couch, lit a candle because why not, and opened up the horoscope guide on my phone.
The guide was talking about a big focus on relationships and work balance for Virgos this month. It mentioned something about Mercury’s influence making us want to organize everything, which, yeah, sounds about right.
My Plan for the Month
So I read through the whole thing and started making a list. The main points were:
- Reassess partnerships – both in love and business.
- Tackle that one messy project at work or home.
- Schedule real downtime, not just collapsing on the couch.
I figured the best way to handle this was to break it down week by week. I turned to a fresh page in my notebook and started writing.
Week One: The Relationship Check-In
I decided to actually talk to my partner about our goals instead of just assuming we’re on the same page. It was a little awkward at first, but we ended up having a really good conversation. I also sent a few emails to clear the air with a coworker I’d been butting heads with. Felt like a weight was lifted.
Week Two: The Deep Clean
This was the organizing part. I picked the garage. It was a disaster. I spent a whole Saturday sorting, throwing stuff out, and finally setting up a proper storage system. My back hurt, but looking at those neat shelves was so satisfying. It felt like I was cleaning up my mind, too.
Week Three: Forcing Myself to Rest
This was the hardest part. The horoscope said to avoid burnout by actually planning fun stuff. So I did. I blocked out time in my calendar to read a novel, and I went for a long walk without my phone. No podcasts, no music. Just me and the trees. It was weirdly difficult to not feel guilty about it, but I stuck to the plan.
Looking Back
Now that the month is pretty much over, I can see how it all played out. That initial push to communicate better in week one made the whole month smoother. The garage is still clean, which is a miracle. And I’m trying to keep that “planned rest” thing going. The energy was real—it wasn’t about magic, it was about using the stars as a reminder to focus on the stuff I usually ignore.
That’s it for this month’s practice. On to the next one.
