Okay folks, settling in with my coffee for this month’s check-in. Saw Susan Miller’s Virgo update popped up and figured, why not actually try living by the advice? You know me, always up for a little self-experiment. So, grabbed my planner, opened the page, and went step by step.
The Money Bit First
Susan goes on about new ventures and hidden talents around mid-month. Said something about “seed money” for future growth. Honestly, it sounded vague at first. But then I remembered this side hustle idea I’ve been sitting on for ages – selling custom hand-painted plant pots. Felt kinda stupid, never did anything.
This time I thought, screw it. Took Susan’s “seed money” thing literally. Went into my savings app and actually moved $100 into a separate jar marked “PLANT POTS” on the 14th, just like the forecast suggested was a good time. Felt real. Then, spent 30 minutes listing a few test pots on a local marketplace that same evening. Used decent pictures this time!
Now, The Love & Connections Part
She made a big deal about Venus influencing old relationships and unresolved conversations, especially around the 19th to the 22nd. My brain immediately jumped to Sarah, an old friend. We kinda drifted after a dumb argument about… honestly, I forget what? Gardening tools? Ridiculous. Never talked it out.
Susan’s words about “clearing the air” got stuck in my head. So, despite feeling mega awkward, I pulled out my phone on the 20th and just texted her: “Hey Sarah, saw your pics from the hike. Looks awesome. Been ages, hope you’re good?” Simple, no pressure.
And That “Networking” Nudge
She also mentioned Jupiter boosting connections through neighbors or local groups near the end of the month. Usually, I ignore this stuff. Who has time? But this time, on the 27th, my neighbors were having one of those pointless block BBQs. Normally, I’d wave from the window. Instead, I actually went outside with some store-bought cookies. Ended up chatting for an hour with someone who actually runs a small local plant nursery! Weird coincidence? Maybe. But we swapped numbers. Just talking shop, nothing heavy.
So, The Takeaway After Trying?
Was it magic? Nah. Did the planets force me? Doubt it. But having that monthly “focus” actually pushed me to do small things I kept avoiding:
- Actually put money aside for an idea instead of just thinking it.
- Reached out to fix an old, dumb grudge.
- Talked to people I live near instead of ignoring them.
Maybe the real power was just having a little external nudge. Made me act. $100 is invested (okay, spent on paint!), Sarah and I are grabbing coffee next week, and hey, maybe that nursery contact leads somewhere, maybe not. Feels less stuck than last month though. Did you try Susan’s tips? Hit or miss? Let me know!
