Alright so today I figured I’d actually walk you through my whole Virgo Moon horoscope thing. Been doing this monthly ritual for a while now, kinda documenting what pops up. Feels weirdly accurate sometimes, other times… not so much. But hey, it’s interesting!
First, I Needed the Deets
Right. Before anything, I sat down at my actual desk – usually I’m on the couch, but this felt like a “sit up straight” kinda task. Cleared away the empty mugs and that weird pile of receipts I kept meaning to sort. Needed space to think.
Grabbed my laptop first. Firefox is my go-to. Typed in the basic search stuff: “Virgo Moon August 2024”. Not gonna lie, a ton of generic junk popped up. You know the ones? “Love will find you!” or “Career boom!”. Super vague. I needed specifics.
So I dug a bit deeper, clicked on a few sites that looked more legit. Not the fancy ones with paywalls though, forget that. Found two sites I usually semi-trust. Opened both in new tabs for comparison.
Wrote down the key points in my notes app:
- Theme according to Site A: Organization & Health stuff nagging at you.
- Feels Like according to Site B: Needing to purge old files (physical and mental!).
Then, The Real Work Started
Okay, so just copying stuff? That’s lazy. My whole thing is actually applying it. So I closed the laptop for a sec and just… sat there.
Stared around my space. Felt that Virgo Moon itch. Site B was kinda hitting home – my desk was a mess, and my brain felt just as cluttered. Site A’s “health nagging”? Yeah, I’d totally been putting off scheduling that dentist thing.
Grabbed my physical notebook – the messy one, not the fancy one. Started scribbling:
- Physical Purge: Top drawer? Disaster. Magazines from 2020, broken chargers… why?! Needed tackling.
- Mental Purge: Kept replaying that awkward work email from last week. Had to let it go.
- Health Thing: Literally just type the dentist’s number into my phone NOW.
The Actual Doing (This Part’s Embarrassing)
Took a deep breath. Actually pulled out that top desk drawer. Felt overwhelming instantly. Like, proper “why did I start this?” vibes. Sorted stuff into piles:
- Actual Garbage: Old receipts, dried-up pens.
- Recycle: Paper flyers, dead batteries (took those outside later).
- Keep: Important warranty stuff.
Put the keep pile back neatly. Felt ridiculously good. Like a tiny weight lifted. Weird.
Then, that dentist call. Seriously, took me a solid 5 minutes just to look up the number. My stomach did a little flip. Called them up, got the appointment booked for next week. Immediately felt lighter. That nagging voice shut right up.
The mental purge was harder. Every time that email replay popped into my head, I literally said out loud: “Done. Not helpful.” Felt silly, but saying it helped stop the loop. Just acknowledging the clutter helped clear it a bit.
Aftermath and Writing It Up
Sat back down at the cleaned desk. Actually opened a proper doc this time. Started writing what I actually did based on what the stars suggested. Didn’t sugarcoat it – wrote about the drawer dread, the phone call stomach flip.
Key takeaway for me? The horoscope didn’t magically solve anything. But it gave me a lens. Like, “Oh, THAT’S why this drawer feels like a metaphor for my life right now!”. It just pointed at the things I was already ignoring. Then I had to do the stupidly simple action of opening the drawer or dialing the phone.
Finished the draft, read it over. Made sure it sounded like me – a bit messy, slightly skeptical, but genuinely finding the process useful. Hit publish. Now we see if any of this actually smooths out the next few weeks, or if it’s just me talking to my desk drawer.
Honestly? Still think some of those sites just recycle generic advice. But actually doing the tiny, uncomfortable actions it hints at? That part weirdly works for me. Maybe because I’m already thinking about it? Who knows. The universe is complicated. My desk is slightly less complicated now though.
