Man, sometimes I just get these ideas, right? Like, I’ll be sitting there, maybe having a cup of coffee, and something just pops into my head. This past week, it was about doing a reading for Virgo. Not just any reading, but one that hit on the main stuff: love, career, and money. I mean, people always wanna know about those things, don’t they? It’s the bread and butter of daily life. So I figured, why not just lay it all out there for my Virgo pals?
I started with the love stuff. My brain instantly goes to how Virgos are, you know? They’re often super analytical, a bit reserved, sometimes can get caught up in the details. So, for love, I tried to think about what kind of advice would really hit home for someone like that. I remembered a time a buddy of mine, total Virgo, was stressing over if he’d said the ‘right thing’ on a first date. It took him days to process it. That’s a classic Virgo move. So, I figured I needed to tell them to maybe chill out on the overthinking, right? To maybe trust their gut a bit more, or at least try not to dissect every single text message from someone they like. It’s hard for them, I know, but sometimes you just gotta feel things, not just think ’em to death. I jotted down some notes about being present, communicating clearly but not obsessively, and reminding them that true connection isn’t about perfection. It’s about being real, flaws and all.
Next up was career. Oh man, Virgos and their work ethic! They are some of the most dedicated, organized, and detail-oriented folks you’ll ever meet. But that can also be their downfall, right? Sometimes they get so bogged down in making everything perfect that they miss the bigger picture or burn themselves out. I thought back to a project I was working on once, and this Virgo colleague of mine, bless her heart, spent three extra days just tweaking the font and spacing on a report that was already perfectly fine. My initial thought was, “Dude, just ship it!” So, for the career part, I really wanted to push them to maybe delegate a bit, trust their teammates more, and not get lost in the weeds. I also wanted to remind them that their skills are super valuable, and sometimes they just need to own that and not be so humble all the time. I wrote about focusing on impact, stepping up for leadership roles, and maybe even taking a tiny risk or two, just to shake things up. It’s all about growth, right?
Then came the money part. Now, Virgos are usually pretty good with money. They’re practical, they budget, they plan. They’re not usually the ones impulse-buying a yacht. But sometimes, that practicality can turn into being a bit too tight, or too worried about every penny. I’ve known Virgos who agonize over a small purchase for weeks, even if they can totally afford it. Or they save so much that they never really enjoy what they’ve worked for. So I considered what kind of advice would balance their natural prudence with a bit of enjoyment. I scribbled down ideas about smart investments, not just savings, and maybe treating themselves once in a while. I mean, what’s the point of working so hard if you can’t enjoy some of the fruits of your labor? I also thought about reminding them to review their finances regularly, but not to let it consume them. It’s about having a healthy relationship with money, not letting it be a constant source of stress. Sometimes, you gotta loosen the purse strings a tiny bit for an experience, not just another spreadsheet entry.
Once I had all these rough thoughts down, I just started typing. I didn’t worry too much about perfect grammar or flow at first. I just wanted to get the ideas out. I’d write a paragraph, then read it back and think, “Does this sound like something a Virgo would actually relate to?” or “Is this helpful, or just generic blather?” If it felt like blather, I’d just rephrase it or ditch it. I tried to use words that felt encouraging but also realistic. I mean, nobody wants pie-in-the-sky predictions that don’t make sense. It had to feel actionable, you know? Like they could actually do something with the advice.
I went through each section again, making sure the tone was consistent. I wanted it to feel like I was just chatting with them, giving them a little nudge in the right direction. I made sure there weren’t too many “shoulds” or “musts,” because nobody likes being told what to do. It was more about offering perspectives and gentle suggestions. I tried to keep the sentences relatively short and punchy. After a couple of read-throughs, checking for typos and any weird phrasing, I felt pretty good about it. It just felt right, like I’d actually managed to capture a little slice of useful stuff for anyone out there who happens to be a Virgo. And that’s pretty much how it goes. Just thinking, writing, tweaking, and then, boom, it’s done.
