So yesterday I got bored and thought, hey let’s dig up that old Virgo career horoscope from 2017 everyone talked about back then. Wondered if it actually meant anything years later.
First thing was actually finding the darn thing online. Took forever! Ended up scrolling through like ten astrology sites buried deep in search results. Finally found a cached page that still worked. Phew. Copied the whole text into my notes app.
Then I just sat down with my coffee and read it real slow. Paragraph by paragraph. 2017 was supposed to be about career stuff for Virgos like me. Kept a notebook handy – my old blue one with coffee stains on the cover. Scribbled down bits that jumped out:
- Something about opportunities hiding in “routine tasks” sounding kinda boring but important?
- A big warning about “communication disasters” needing extra careful planning.
- Weird advice about “investing in new skillsets” around September-ish.
Okay, next step: checked my dusty old planner from 2017. Dug it outta the back of my desk drawer, covered in dust bunnies. Flipped through the months. Tried matching what actually happened back then to the horoscope points.
Honestly? Tripped me up. September 2017… hold up… that’s exactly when I took that online database course! Totally forgot. Boss pushed me into it saying it “might be useful someday.” Felt like a drag then, but man, do I use that SQL junk ALL THE TIME now. The “new skills” thing? Nailed it.
And that “communication disaster” warning? Laughed out loud. Remembered that massive screw-up in July. Sent a project update to the wrong damn client email list. Mix-up with similar names. Whole team panicked. Spent hours fixing it. The horoscope literally said “triple-check recipients.” Shoulda listened harder! That painful memory proved the warning was spot-on.
But the routine tasks part? Yeah, less clear. Wrote down several boring daily things I did that year. Still not sure if “opportunities” hid in filing expense reports or updating spreadsheets. Maybe? Feels like a stretch.
Biggest surprise? How the useful bits (skills, warnings) actually tracked with real life later. The vague fluff (“hidden opportunities”)? Just blended into the background noise of any office job. Proved horoscopes sometimes have sharp, useful teeth you can grab onto… if you’re willing to dig through the cosmic mud for ’em.
