Man, April 2019. What a time. I still remember sitting there, kinda lost, trying to figure things out for my Virgo pals, and honestly, for myself too. See, back then, I was really into figuring out what made people tick, especially when it came to love stuff. It wasn’t like I was some pro astrologer or anything, far from it. I was just… curious. And a little bored, maybe.
It all kicked off sometime in late March. My friend Sarah, a total Virgo, was going through some seriously messy relationship drama. Like, classic soap opera stuff. And she kept asking me, “What do you think is gonna happen next? What’s the universe trying to tell me?” I didn’t have a clue, really. But her questions got stuck in my head. I started thinking, wouldn’t it be cool if I could actually put some thoughts down, some kind of “heads-up” for what might be coming? Not like fortune-telling, more like… observing patterns.
So, I decided to give it a shot, just for fun, just for Sarah and a few other Virgo folks I knew. My “practice” started with me grabbing this old, kinda beat-up notebook. I called it my “Cosmic Chatter Log.” Pretty goofy, I know.
First thing I did was just try to clear my head. I’d sit by the window, sip my coffee, and just think about Virgos. What are they usually like in love? Fussy, practical, a bit shy, right? Overthinkers, definitely. I jotted down all these traits. That was the base layer.
Then, I moved to what I loosely called “energy scanning.” Sounds fancy, but it was just me paying extra attention to conversations, news, even stuff on social media. What kind of vibe was floating around? Was it tense? Hopeful? Were people feeling adventurous or more grounded? I tried to pull out anything that felt like a “major shift.” If a friend suddenly dumped someone or got engaged out of the blue, I’d make a note. Not directly linking it, but seeing it as a piece of the puzzle.
My next step was more like a data dump. I’d open up one of those free online astrology sites – nothing heavy, just the basic planetary positions for April 2019. I didn’t understand half of it, but I’d pick out keywords. Like, “Venus enters Taurus.” What does Taurus mean? Stability, comfort, maybe a bit stubborn. What does Venus rule? Love, obviously. So, I’d mash those ideas together in my head and write down something like, “Expect more grounded, comfort-seeking vibes in relationships.” Super simple, super vague, but it was my system.
I did this for a few planets that felt important for love. Mars, Mercury, maybe a bit of Jupiter for luck. I’d scribble down how these energies might combine. It was like putting together a very, very basic weather report for emotions.
Compiling My “Major Updates”
Once I had a bunch of these messy notes, I’d try to consolidate them into bullet points. I wanted them to be “Major Love Updates,” so they had to sound impactful. I wasn’t interested in tiny little daily nuances. I wanted the big picture stuff.
- I remember sitting there for hours, cross-referencing my “Cosmic Chatter Log” with the basic planet info.
- Like, if Venus was making a nice angle to Jupiter, and I’d heard a lot of positive relationship news around, I’d tie it into something about “unexpected blessings” or “growth.”
- If there were some more challenging aspects, and I’d noticed a lot of arguments, I’d phrase it as “time for honest conversations” or “clearing the air.”
The whole point was to make it sound useful without being overly specific. It was about giving a gentle nudge. “Hey, Virgos, maybe focus on communication this month,” or “It might be a good time to reassess your values.” Things like that.
Finally, I’d type it all up in a simple document. Just a list of maybe five or six “Major Love Updates” for Virgo. I’d read through it, making sure it sounded encouraging and helpful, not scary. I’d tweak the wording, trying to hit that balance between being perceptive and staying really general. I didn’t want to predict anything concrete, just hint at the flavor of the month.
I ended up sending it to Sarah and a couple of other friends. They thought it was pretty cool. Some of them even said a few points actually resonated with what they were going through that April. I don’t know if it was just coincidence or if I accidentally tapped into some collective vibe, but it felt good to put something out there. It was just my messy, personal way of trying to make sense of the wild world of relationships, one sign at a time.
