Okay so lemme walk you through how I actually put my Virgo May 2025 love horoscope thing into action this month. Full story, warts and all.
The Setup Phase
First off, I gotta say I was pretty skeptical. Like always. Saw the headline about improving my relationship and kinda rolled my eyes. But hey, I said I’d test stuff out for my readers, so here goes. My typical Virgo overthinking kicked in hard right away. Started reading the points:
- Focus on communication, like really listen instead of just waiting for your turn to talk. Oof, guilty as charged.
- Don’t sweat the small stuff. Pick your battles. Double oof. My partner leaving the toilet seat up? Classic trigger.
- Plan something spontaneous together, break the routine. Routine? Me? Never… okay fine.
Right away I decided to track myself for a week. Grabbed my trusty notebook – yeah, actual paper – and stuck it in the kitchen drawer where I see it constantly.
The Trial Run
Monday morning hit. Partner forgot to buy coffee filters – again. My usual move? Sigh dramatically, maybe mutter something passive-aggressive while stomping around brewing coffee using a paper towel like a caveman (it kinda worked… mostly leaked). This time? Deep breath. Bit my tongue. Hard. Instead, I just said “Bummer about the filters, happens. Want me to grab some after work?” Saw the genuine surprise on their face. Marked down “Morning coffee crisis = NOT DEFCON 1” in the notebook. One tiny win.
Wednesday night was the real test. We were talking about weekend plans. My brain instantly started calculating, planning, needing to solve everything perfectly. Horoscope specifically said chill out on the control vibes. So I forced myself to shut the planner side down. Just asked “What sounds fun to you?” instead of launching into my detailed itinerary. Felt weird, letting go. But they suggested a random picnic at that weird park we always drive past. I didn’t correct the logistics. Just said “Yeah, okay, that sounds different.” Another note: “Didn’t hijack planning. Partner did something. Survived.”
The Spontaneous Attempt (Kind Of)
The horoscope emphasized “spontaneity”. My partner is spontaneous. I am… programmed. Friday night, movie plans. Horribly predictable rain started pouring. My instinct? “Movie night is still ON.” Saw my partner looking longingly at the rain… and remembered the damn “break the routine” point. Took another deep breath. Hated it. Asked, “Or… wanna just grab the umbrella and go walk in this mess?” Saw actual joy. We got soaked, laughed way harder than we would’ve at the movie theater, ended up getting terrible pizza. Notebook entry: “Walked in rain. Didn’t melt. Pizza was gross but fun was had.”
The Verdict (So Far)
Look, I ain’t perfect. By Sunday I snapped about some shoes left in the hallway. Old habits die hard. But honestly? This month felt less like work. Mostly. Those points about listening and not nitpicking? They actually made a difference when I managed to shut up the Virgo critic in my head. The communication thing is brutal but worth it. Partner seems… lighter? Less defensive maybe. Weird.
Still think some horoscope stuff is mumbo jumbo. But the core of this one? Focusing on the other person, easing up on control, injecting novelty? That seems straight-up practical relationship advice, Virgo or not. The “plan” helped me actually practice it. Like training wheels for being less rigid. Will keep trying. Notebook ain’t done yet.
