Alright so I finally got around to doing that Virgo horoscope thing for each month of 2016. Honestly, I wasn’t even planning on sharing this online originally, it started ’cause I was actually trying to find my own horoscope for a weirdly specific situation back then. Total Virgo move, right? Needed some cosmic guidance.
Finding the Right Book & Starting Point
First step? I had to dig up an actual 2016 horoscope book. Like, a physical one. I remembered seeing an old astrology guide on my shelf buried under some cookbooks (don’t ask). Flipped through it like mad until I found the Virgo section. Took ages. Not exactly digital speed here. Once I found it, I took a few pics of the monthly pages with my phone. Lighting sucked, but whatever.
Setting the Scene (and Coffee)
Next up, I needed to actually write the thing. Camped out at my usual coffee spot downtown. Grabbed a huge cup because I knew this would take a while. Opened up my trusty (and slightly ancient) laptop right there. Started a fresh document called “Virgo Months 2016”. Kicked off with January. Just began typing out what the book said for that month, trying to keep it simple, y’know? “Virgo, expect shifts in routines…” that kind of vibe.
- Typed out the basic forecast
- Tried to remember any personal vibe I felt back in Jan 2016 to see if it matched (it kinda did!)
- Flipped the book’s page mentally while staring at my phone pic
Had to re-read every sentence twice ’cause people beside me were super annoying – kids going nuts, phones ringing non-stop. Focus was hard! But I powered through Feb, March… felt like I was copying homework again.
Hitting the Slog & Realizing My Mistake
Made it halfway through the year, hit July. Typed out “Career opportunities surge forward!” Felt good. Scrolled back up… wait a damn minute. Big problem. I somehow started with January 2016, but used the page header for Virgo from a different year by accident earlier. The book had multiple years crammed together. Seriously? Had to go back to EVERY single month and double-check the header was actually 2016. Felt like an idiot. Wasted like twenty minutes fixing that. Shoulda worn my glasses.
Finishing Up and Feeling Weirdly Proud
After the header panic settled, I pushed through the rest. August to December. Typing got faster. Was kinda relaxing near the end. Got the full year done! Final check: Read it aloud softly (got a weird look from the barista), made sure the months were in order, no wild typos about love lives exploding in weird ways. Saved it as a draft first. Later at home, took a deep breath, copied the whole chunk of text, opened my blog editor, pasted it in, hit the big publish button. Done.
And boom. There it was online. My Virgo 2016 monthly thing, done the hard way with a dusty book and dodgy coffee shop wifi. Feels kinda cool seeing it up there now. Even if it took ages and I nearly messed up the year!
