Got this idea while scrolling through astro stuff early Tuesday, figured why not dig into Virgos since my cousin’s one. Grabbed my beat-up laptop around 9 AM, cracked open a lukewarm energy drink, and just started typing rough thoughts. Wanted to see what makes September 17 Virgos tick, man and woman both.
The Kickoff: Coffee Shop Vibes & Phone Calls
First thing, hit up my actual Virgo friends. Needed real talk, not just textbook stuff. Called Sarah – pure Virgo energy, born September 19th, close enough, right? Asked her straight up: “Alright, best and worst thing about being you?” While she rambled about color-coding her closet but stressing over birthday party napkin colors, I scribbled notes like crazy on a napkin. Key words popping up: “organized,” “critical” (mostly about themselves), “stubborn as hell sometimes.” Made sense.
Diving Deeper: The Online Rabbit Hole
Got back home, piled more dirty dishes next to the sink – research mode activated. Jumped onto a few forums, the real messy ones where people vent. Searched specifically for “September 17 Virgo.” Filtered out the obvious junk. Noticed patterns:
- Virgo Men: Kept seeing stuff like “quiet at first,” “analytical brain,” “hates laziness.” One guy wrote his Sept 17 buddy remembers everything, uses it in arguments. Savage.
- Virgo Women: Lot of talk about “mom friend energy,” “practical advice,” but also “overthinking every text message.” Saw multiple posts like “she notices details I miss, like…scuff marks on my shoes??” Felt accurate based on Sarah.
Piled these bits into a messy Google Doc. Started grouping similar vibes together under rough headings: “Work Ethic,” “Communication,” “Annoying Habits.” Kept it real vague.
The “Research Phase”: People Watching & Failed Interviews
Decided I needed street data. Camped out at my local library cafe Wednesday afternoon. Goal: spot potential Virgos? Shaky science, I know. Looked for people quietly working, maybe reorganizing their backpack. Saw one dude meticulously wiping crumbs off the table. My internal alarm went “Virgo!” Approached him awkwardly: “Uh, hey man, doing a little thing on star signs…born in September?” He just stared. “August 28th.” Damn. Back to the laptop.
Called another Virgo friend, Mark (born Sept 12). Asked him: “What makes you snap?” He laughed. “People wasting my time, being late, messy kitchens…hell, seeing the dishwasher loaded wrong.” His voice got slightly louder. Noted: Practicality is KING, inefficiency is WAR. Bolded it in the doc.
Pulling It All Together: Late Night Chaos
Thursday night, sat surrounded by empty snack bags staring at the doc disaster. Needed structure. Started rearranging all my scribbles, Sarah’s rants, Mark’s efficiency rage, and the forum gold.
- Built a section called “Mindset”: That hyper-awareness, self-doubt popping up.
- “Communication Style”: Blunt honesty mixed with sometimes weird shyness.
- “What Pisses Them Off”: This section practically wrote itself – laziness, chaos, unreliability.
Had this realization: September 17 or not, the core Virgo themes scream practicality and analysis. They notice stuff others miss, get stuff done, but man, the pressure they put on themselves (and sometimes everyone else) is heavy. Threw that in near the end. Smoothed out the roughest edges – though honestly kept some of the messy descriptions. Felt more real that way.
The Final Punch
Hit save around 1:30 AM Friday. Looked back at the journey – phone calls, messy notes, forum crawling, awkward cafe recon. Weirdly fun figuring out these practical overthinkers. Main takeaway? If you know a Virgo born around mid-September, appreciate their ability to plan your life, forgive them for silently judging your messy desk, and NEVER EVER LOAD THE DISHWASHER WRONG AROUND THEM. Learned that the hard way.
There you have it. That’s how this weird guide came to life. Hope someone finds it useful!
