Man, March 2022. I swear, that was a wild one. I remember feeling properly stuck. My bank account was looking a bit sorry for itself, and I just felt like everything was on pause. I’m a Virgo, right? Always been one to kinda roll my eyes at horoscopes, but a friend, Sarah, she’s super into all that stuff. She kept bugging me, telling me to check out my Virgo horoscope, especially for money and luck.
I was just scrolling aimlessly one evening, feeling sorry for myself, and her words popped into my head. “Virgo Horoscope March 2022: Money & Luck.” I typed it in, half-jokingly. And there it was. A whole bunch of stuff. I actually clicked on a few different ones, just to see if they all said the same thing, you know? Like, trying to find some common ground, some pattern. I definitely wasn’t expecting much, just thought it’d be a bit of a laugh, a distraction from my empty wallet woes.
Most of them were pretty vague, like “focus on your finances” or “an unexpected opportunity might arise.” But one, in particular, really stuck with me. It talked about how Virgos might feel a pull to clear out clutter, both physical and mental, and that doing so could open up pathways for financial flow. It also mentioned something about trusting my gut on a small investment or a new side hustle, and that networking was key. Honestly, it sounded a bit like generic self-help advice, but for some reason, that “clear out clutter” bit really hit home.
My apartment was a disaster. Like, a proper, “can’t see the floor” kind of disaster. And my desk? Forget about it. Piles of papers, old receipts, junk mail. It was a mess. And my head felt just as messy. So, the next morning, I decided, why not? I was feeling so low, what did I have to lose? I pulled out the biggest bin bags I could find and just went for it.
Clearing the Decks: My “Clutter-Clearing” Experiment
I started with my desk. Man, the things I found! Old bills I’d forgotten to file, a forgotten gift card with a tenner on it, even a lottery ticket from months ago (a loser, obviously, but still!). It wasn’t about finding money directly, though. It was the process.
- Day 1: The Desk Massacre. I spent hours just sorting. Threw out so much junk. Organized the important papers. Suddenly, I could see the surface of my desk again! And weirdly, my head felt a bit clearer too.
- Day 2: Wardrobe Warfare. Moved onto my closet. Donated a bunch of clothes I hadn’t worn in ages. It felt good, like shedding old skin or something.
- Day 3: Digital Detox. This was a big one. My laptop was packed with old files, screenshots, downloads. I spent a whole afternoon just deleting, organizing, unsubscribing from newsletters I never read.
After three solid days of this, I felt lighter. Physically, sure, but mentally too. It was like I’d actually followed through on something, which was a win in itself. The horoscope said this would help with “financial flow.” I was skeptical, but hey, I had a cleaner living space.
The “Trust Your Gut” Test
Then came the “trust your gut” part. A few weeks before, an old colleague, Mark, had pinged me about helping him with some design work for his new online store. It wasn’t a huge project, and I’d kinda dismissed it because I was feeling overwhelmed and frankly, a bit lazy. But after my decluttering spree, his message popped into my head.
I reread the horoscope: “A small investment or a new side hustle.” Was this it? My gut was telling me, just reply to the guy. See what he says. So I did. He was still looking for help! We chatted, and it turned out to be a super easy gig, a few hours of work, and he paid me a decent rate for it. It wasn’t life-changing money, but it was enough to cover a few bills that month, which felt like a massive relief.
Networking and the “Unexpected Opportunity”
The horoscope also hammered on “networking.” I’m not really a “networker.” I’m more of a “stay at home and avoid human interaction” kind of guy. But I’d started feeling a bit more energized after the decluttering and the small gig. So when Sarah messaged me about a little online get-together for creatives she was hosting, I usually would have just said no, too busy, too tired, whatever. But this time, I thought about that horoscope line. “Networking is key.”
I decided to just show up, even if it was just for an hour. And you know what? I actually had some decent chats. I met a guy who ran a local print shop. We got talking, and he mentioned he was looking for someone to help him set up some basic social media stuff – nothing complex, just getting his shop more visible online. He said he liked my vibe and asked if I was interested. BOOM! Another small gig, completely out of the blue. It was exactly what the horoscope said – an “unexpected opportunity” from networking.
Looking Back: March 2022 and Beyond
By the end of March, my financial situation wasn’t suddenly swimming in cash, but I wasn’t in the red either. I had a little cushion, which was a huge improvement. More than the money itself, I felt a shift. I felt more in control, more positive. It was like going through those horoscope readings and actually trying to follow the advice gave me a kick in the backside.
Was it the horoscope? Was it just good timing? Or was it me actually taking some action instead of just moping around? I honestly don’t know for sure. But what I do know is that by paying attention to those “money & luck” tidbits for Virgos in March 2022, I ended up cleaning up my life, taking a chance on a small project, and connecting with people I usually wouldn’t. And all of that led to a much better place than where I started. Sometimes you just gotta try stuff, even if you think it’s a bit silly. Who knew following a horoscope could actually push you to get things done?
