Okay so last Monday I was scrolling through my phone, totally bored, you know? December blues hitting hard. Saw this thing about “Virgo December Love Horoscope” and honestly? I snorted. Normally I don’t put much stock in this stuff, but hey, it’s December, feeling kinda lonely, figured why the heck not see what the stars think my romance luck is.
First thing I did, obviously, was tap that search bar in whatever astrology app I have buried on page 3 of my phone. Typed in “Virgo December Love Horoscope.” Boom, tons of links popped up. Clicked the first one that didn’t look totally spammy. Started reading. It said something about Virgos needing to “get out of their shell” this month and be more open to “unexpected encounters.” Said December 10th to the 24th was a “peak period” for romance. Oh, and it mentioned something about a “past connection” possibly resurfacing? All right, stars, I’m listening.
What I Actually Tried
Since it said “get out of your shell,” I didn’t just sit home doom-scrolling. Made a real effort:
- Said Yes: My friend asked if I wanted to go to her office holiday party on the 15th – a Friday night. Normally? I’d make an excuse about needing to organize my sock drawer. But this time? “Sure, sounds fun!” Packed my social batteries.
- Opened My Mouth: At that party, usually I’m the wallflower champion. This time, I actually walked up to a guy near the snack table who looked kinda approachable. Commented on the terrifyingly spicy meatballs. We chatted for like, 5 whole minutes! That’s huge for me.
- Checked the Calendar: Kept that “peak period” thing in mind. The 18th was my department’s end-of-year lunch. Sat next to that colleague I kinda find cute? Normally I’d just talk work. This time? Asked about his holiday plans. Small talk achieved!
- Stalked… Errr… Scanned: That bit about a “past connection”? Made me peek at a couple of old flames’ social media profiles. Zero activity or messages from them. Like, crickets. Guess the planets were wrong on that one, or maybe they meant the dude who still owes me $20 from last year? Not romantic.
The Reality Check
So, did following this horoscope advice magically land me in a whirlwind December romance?
Ha. Nope.
The party chat guy? Nice, but zero spark. We exchanged pleasantries and then drifted apart. Felt good to talk, though!
The work colleague? The lunch chat was… fine. Pleasant. Still just colleagues. No lightning bolts.
And the universe absolutely did not deliver some surprise ex crawling back or a meet-cute with a soulmate in line at Starbucks while grabbing my peppermint mocha. Just spilled some on my coat, actually. Very unromantic.
Honestly? The best “romance luck” I had was actually connecting a bit more with my friends. Shared laughs, deep chats. Feels kinda nice. But Prince Charming? Still firmly AWOL.
So, the horoscope said “be open” and “expect the unexpected.” I did that. Got out of my comfort zone. Talked to new people. Looked at my calendar differently. And what did I get? A few pleasant conversations and zero magical love connections. The unexpected thing? Realizing maybe “romance luck” isn’t just about finding a date, but about feeling less isolated. Or maybe that’s just me trying to make the lack of action feel better!
Bottom line? Did the Virgo December Love Horoscope work? Well, it didn’t summon my soulmate out of thin air. But forcing myself to be slightly more social based on its “advice” wasn’t the worst thing. Didn’t fix my love life, but hey, at least I ate some questionable party snacks. The stars tried, I guess? Meh.
