Man, so you know how sometimes you just stumble into doing something? That’s kinda how this whole “love scope” thing kicked off for me, especially for Virgos. I wasn’t planning on becoming some kind of cosmic interpreter, nope. I just started digging into astrology a while back, messing around with birth charts, mostly for my own kicks at first. Just, you know, plugging in my birth info, seeing what popped up, trying to make sense of the squiggly lines and symbols. It was more about curious fun, really.
Then, after a bit, friends started hitting me up. “Hey, what about my sign?” or “My partner’s a Leo, what’s up with them?” And wouldn’t you know it, Virgo kept coming up. Like, a lot. It wasn’t just one or two, but a whole bunch of folks asking about their Virgo pals, or they themselves were Virgos and just wanted a heads-up on the emotional rollercoaster. It got me thinking. Maybe there’s something to putting a bit of thought into what these folks might be feeling, especially on the love front, for the month ahead.
So, I dove in. My “process,” if you can even call it that, wasn’t fancy. I’d drag out my dusty old astrology books – the ones with the faded covers and dog-eared pages. I’d also pull up some online charts, just to get a good look at where all the planets were hanging out. I mean, you gotta see where Venus is, right? Especially when we’re talking love. I’d just sit there for ages, staring at the charts, trying to picture the planets zipping around, doing their thing. Not gonna lie, sometimes it felt like trying to read tea leaves after a particularly strong cup of coffee.
I started scribbling notes, loads of them. Pages and pages of chicken scratch. I’d track the moon phases – those always throw a wrench in things for everyone, but for Virgos, who can be a bit more internal, it felt extra important. Then there’s Venus, naturally. Where’s she transiting? Is she feeling flirty or more introspective? And Mercury! Oh man, Mercury. Especially when it goes retrograde. That’s always a good time for communication mix-ups, which in love can just turn into a total mess. I’d try to figure out how these planetary energies might just nudge or pull at a typical Virgo’s heartstrings.
The whole point wasn’t to “predict” anything, mind you. I’m not a fortuneteller. It was more about catching a vibe, seeing patterns, and trying to translate cosmic gossip into plain English. For love, specifically, I’d really concentrate on anything affecting relationships, emotions, self-worth. How would a particular aspect make a Virgo feel about commitment? Or about opening up? You know, the practical stuff, but on an emotional level.
I’d then try to knit all these tidbits into a kind of narrative. Not a super dramatic one, just something that felt plausible. I’d think about classic Virgo traits: super analytical, maybe a bit reserved, sometimes overthinking everything, especially when it comes to feelings. How would the current planetary dance interact with that side of them? Would it encourage them to step out of their shell? Or make them pull back even more? I always kept their inherent practicality in mind. They don’t want fluffy nonsense; they want something they can actually relate to, something that makes sense.
After a good few days of this deep dive, wrestling with charts and my own thoughts, I’d usually have a rough draft. That’s when the “checking it” part came in. I’d read it. Out loud sometimes, just to hear how it sounded. Did it flow? Did it feel right? Would a Virgo friend of mine actually nod their head reading this, or would they just roll their eyes? Sometimes, I’d even send it to a couple of my actual Virgo friends (the brave ones) and ask for their honest-to-goodness reaction. A raised eyebrow was just as useful as a “yeah, that kinda hits.”
There were plenty of times I’d just scrap the whole damn thing and start over. Something wouldn’t quite click, or it felt too vague, or just… off. It’s not about being perfectly accurate, because who can be? It’s more about offering a perspective, a gentle nudge, or just something to ponder for the month ahead in their love lives. A little space to reflect. Then, once it felt decent, I’d finally type it all up on my old laptop. It felt good to get it out there, a little record of my own wrestling match with the stars, hoping it might just resonate with someone out there.
