Man, 2020. What a year, huh? Before all the madness hit, I actually spent a good chunk of my time trying to piece together a solid monthly prediction guide for all my fellow Virgos out there. It wasn’t just some casual browse, no sir. I really dug deep, pulling things together from all over the place. I figured, if I wanted to be prepared, others probably did too, especially for a year that felt like it was going to be… well, different. And boy, was I right.
It all kicked off late 2019. I remember sitting there, scrolling through some random astrology blogs, and just feeling like everything was so vague. “Oh, challenges ahead!” or “New opportunities will arise!” Like, really? Thanks, Captain Obvious. I needed something concrete, something that felt like it was actually talking to me, a Virgo, about my specific stuff. So, I just decided then and there: I was going to make my own damn guide. Not for sale, not for fame, just for me and maybe a few friends who also felt like they were swimming in a sea of generic horoscopes.
Starting the Hunt: Where to Even Look?
First thing I did was just open a blank document on my old laptop. No fancy software, no big plans, just a simple text file. My initial thought was, “Okay, 2020, Virgo.” I started with a really basic internet search. You know, “Virgo 2020 predictions,” “astrology for Virgos next year.” Man, talk about information overload. Some sites were super professional, others looked like they were made in 1998. It was a proper mess. I spent days just trying to figure out which sources didn’t feel like pure clickbait.
I started making a list, literally in that text file, of keywords and common themes I saw popping up. Things like “career shifts,” “relationship dynamics,” “health focus,” “financial outlook.” I realized pretty quickly that I couldn’t just trust one source. It was like trying to figure out a recipe when everyone gives you slightly different ingredients. I needed to cross-reference everything. That’s when I pulled out my old trusty notebook, the one with the coffee stains, and started sketching out a rough calendar grid for each month.
Diving Deeper: The Gritty Details
Next, I started digging into more specific astrological movements. I wasn’t an expert, not by a long shot, but I picked up some basic stuff over the years. I looked up things like Mercury retrogrades, lunar eclipses, planetary alignments specifically impacting Virgo. I found a few old-school astrology forums, the kind that don’t have shiny graphics but have people who really know their stuff talking about conjunctions and trines. I’d read through threads, highlight interesting bits, and try to translate that cosmic gibberish into something a regular person could understand.
I focused on breaking it down month by month. So, for January, I’d read everything I could find about what Pluto or Jupiter were doing in relation to Virgo’s ruling planets or houses. Then, I’d move to February, and so on. It was tedious work, let me tell you. I’d spend hours just comparing predictions from three different sources for, say, March, and try to find the common threads. If one said “expect financial growth” and another said “be cautious with investments,” I’d try to figure out the nuance. Maybe it meant “expect growth but don’t just throw money around blindly.”
Structuring the Beast: Making Sense of It All
Once I had a pile of notes for each month, scribbled down and highlighted, the real work of organizing began. I went back to that blank document. I created a section for each month, and under each month, I broke it down into categories like:
- General Vibe: What’s the overall energy of the month?
- Career & Money: What’s going on at work? Any financial ups or downs?
- Love & Relationships: Friendships, family, romantic stuff.
- Health & Wellness: Anything to watch out for, or areas to focus on for well-being.
- Key Dates: Specific days when things might feel more intense or auspicious.
I started writing out simple, direct sentences. No flowery language. Just, “January: Good for planning, but watch out for miscommunications around the 15th.” Or, “April: Relationship harmony is strong, but an old conflict might resurface mid-month.” I tried to make it sound like I was just telling a friend what to expect. I’d read it aloud sometimes, just to make sure it sounded natural and not like some ancient text.
The Final Touch and the Outcome
After weeks of this, late nights, more coffee than I probably should have had, I finally had a full 12-month guide. It wasn’t perfect, nothing ever is, but it felt complete. I read through the whole thing, top to bottom, making sure there were no contradictions and that the tone stayed consistent. I even sent it to my sister, who’s also a Virgo, and she gave me some feedback. She told me a few parts made her chuckle and some made her think. That felt good, like I actually made something useful.
Having that guide in my hands, well, on my screen, gave me a weird sense of peace. It didn’t mean I could control everything that happened in 2020, Lord knows nobody could. But it felt like I had a map, even if the terrain was going to be unpredictable. It was a pretty wild ride, that year, but at least I felt like I had done my part to understand the cosmic currents for myself and anyone else who wanted a sneak peek. It was a project that started out of personal curiosity and turned into a really fulfilling little mission.
