So okay this morning I’m sitting with my coffee like every day scrolling through stuff on my phone and I see today’s horoscope for me Virgo May 16th 2025. Honestly, usually I just skim this stuff but today’s felt kinda specific. It talked about doing an act of service bringing unexpected good vibes and paying attention to little signs or messages. Said Mercury’s doing its retro thing too so check details, chill with communications. Alright then.
Putting It To Work This Morning
Had my boring breakfast oats, checked work emails. Normally first thing I just blast back replies. But remembering the horoscope thing about Mercury, I actually slowed down. Read an email three times from Jeff in Marketing about project deadlines. Realized it was missing the actual report he was referencing. Felt like I spotted something sneaky! Pinged him back asking where the attachment went. He sent this flustered “oh my bad” reply with the file attached. Minor win? Yeah felt decent.
Keeping Eyes Open For The “Service” Thing
The whole “act of service” part was rattling in my head. Walking to grab lunch at the corner deli, saw old Mrs. Henderson from 3B shuffling with her wheeled grocery bag. Her stuff looked heavy. Was already running late but thought screw it, horoscope right? Offered to carry her bags up to her door. Not a big deal, took maybe ten minutes? She was super thankful, gave me this little jar of homemade strawberry jam! Walking back out I found a crumpled tenner in the hallway. Not mine obviously, handed it to the building super later but still… wild timing huh.
Those “Little Signs” Popped Up Later
Stuck in a pointless afternoon Zoom call. Totally zoning out watching birds fight over a crust outside my window. Randomly thought about needing new batteries for my kitchen scale. Like super random! Few minutes later my buddy texts out of the blue: “Yo cleaning out my junk drawer found like a million AAA batteries you want some? Haha free?” Uh yeah! Dumb luck or sign? Let’s go with sign. Picked them up after work.
Wrapping The Day Feeling It Worked
Got home feeling weirdly… on track? Like a smoother day somehow. Not magic, stuff still happened. Printers jammed, phone died cause I forgot to charge it, annoying stuff. But overall? It felt different cause I was trying to notice things differently. That cheapo bag jam Mrs. H gave me? Had toast with it tonight. Surprisingly banging.
Did the horoscope magically make stuff happen? Nah. But hey, reading it this morning nudged me to be more intentional. Double checked stuff, helped someone, paid attention to weird little thoughts. Might try actually applying tomorrow’s horoscope too. Got it right here already – “focus on financial details”. Ugh receipts it is.
