Man, October 2020. What a whirlwind, right? Everyone was feeling it, that weird mix of hope and just, well, being totally drained. For me, that month kind of pushed me into this whole thing with monthly predictions. Yeah, I know, sounds a bit out there, but hear me out on how I got into poking around with Virgo stuff.
It wasn’t like I woke up one day suddenly believing in all that cosmic alignment. Nah. It started way back, probably late 2019, when things just felt… off. I was staring at my phone a lot, scrolling endlessly, and somehow I kept landing on those cheesy “What Your Sign Says About You Today” articles. At first, I just laughed at them, you know? Like, “Oh, please.” But a friend, a total Virgo actually, she was always talking about her horoscope, and she’d swear some things actually came true. I just listened, nodded, but never really paid much mind.
Then 2020 hit, and everything went sideways for everyone. Being stuck at home, with too much time on my hands, my brain just started looking for patterns, for anything that made a bit of sense in a world that felt like it was spinning out of control. My friend, the Virgo one, she started sending me these long-form monthly predictions, mostly for herself, but sometimes she’d send me mine. I’d read them, mostly out of boredom, but a tiny part of me was just curious.
So, I started digging myself. Not just reading what was sent, but going to different websites. I’d type in “Virgo October 2020 predictions” into the search bar. First, I’d just browse the top results, clicking on whatever seemed to pop up. I’d read one, then another, looking for common threads. I wasn’t really looking for specific “you will meet someone rich” kind of stuff. It was more about the general vibe. Was it going to be a month for career moves? For introspection? For fixing old relationships?
I distinctly remember October 2020, because I had a big decision coming up, and my Virgo friend was going through a rough patch with her job. It felt like a good time to actually try and see if any of these predictions had weight. So, what I did was, I grabbed a plain old spiral notebook. Yeah, like from school. And I started a new page, titled it “Virgo – October 2020.” Underneath, I’d just dump bullet points from different sources. I tried to paraphrase, just putting it in my own words, so it made more sense to me.
For instance, one site would say something like, “Expect shifts in your professional life, dear Virgo.” I’d write down:
- Career stuff: big changes coming.
Another might say, “Pay attention to your inner voice for financial guidance.” So I’d add:
- Money: listen to gut feelings.
I just kept copying and pasting, mentally that is, from all these free sources online. I wasn’t trying to be an astrologer, just a guy with a notebook trying to find some breadcrumbs.
After I had a few pages of these scribbled down, I’d then start to look for what was common among them. Where did they all agree? If three different sites mentioned “relationship challenges,” then I’d highlight that one. If only one talked about “winning the lottery,” I’d probably just ignore it, or maybe write “wishful thinking?” next to it, just to be real with myself. My whole ‘practice’ was just about finding the overlap, the consensus, among all the different voices out there.
Then, the real interesting part for me began: keeping track. As October 2020 unfolded, I’d periodically check back with my notes. I wasn’t doing it every day, but maybe once a week, or when something significant happened. My friend would call me, telling me about her work drama, or I’d be facing that big decision I mentioned. And I’d go back to my notebook. “Wait, did it say something about workplace changes?” And sometimes, to my surprise, it kind of did. Not in a spooky, dead-on way, but in a general, thematic sense.
It wasn’t about the predictions being 100% accurate or some magic crystal ball. What I really got out of this whole notebook thing was actually pretty simple: it made me more aware. More aware of patterns in my own life, in my friend’s life. It got me to reflect on what was happening and whether there was any overarching theme to it. It was like having a loose framework for thinking about the month. Maybe it was just me projecting my own life onto those predictions, or maybe there was something to it. Who knows? But that’s how I ended up looking at those Virgo October 2020 predictions, and it definitely wasn’t how I expected to spend my lockdown time, that’s for sure.
