Virgo Season 2026. Man, when that time of year rolled around, I knew I had to brace myself. Not in a bad way, mind you, but more like, “Okay, universe, I hear you. Time to get my act together.” I usually just let these things pass me by, but for some reason, this year felt different. I figured, why not try to actually lean into whatever this Virgo energy was supposed to bring? My life, honestly, had been a bit of a scattered mess leading up to it, so I thought, “What’s the worst that can happen? Maybe I’ll finally sort something out.”
Getting My Space Right
The first thing I tackled was my apartment. You wouldn’t believe the state it was in. I mean, I tried to keep it tidy, but things just piled up. So, when Virgo season kicked off, I just decided to start with the living room. I didn’t think too much, just grabbed a trash bag and a couple of empty boxes. I pulled everything off the shelves, emptied out drawers, and just stared at the sheer volume of junk I had accumulated. It felt overwhelming at first, seeing all that stuff spread out.
- I sorted through old magazines, tossing the outdated ones and stacking the keepers.
- I found three remote controls for devices I don’t even own anymore. Into the “donate” pile they went.
- I wiped down every surface, dusted every nook and cranny. I hadn’t seen some of those spots so clean in ages.
- Then, I moved to the kitchen. That was a whole other beast. I opened the pantry, pulled out every single item, and checked expiration dates. So much stuff had expired! I chucked a lot of old spices and sauces.
- I even organized my pots and pans, which usually just get shoved in wherever they fit.
I spent a couple of solid weekends just doing this. My back ached, my hands got dirty, but by the end of it, my place felt lighter. Like a weight had been lifted. It wasn’t just about cleaning; it was about making space, physically and mentally.
Revising My Daily Grind
Once my environment felt a bit more under control, I shifted my focus to my daily routines. My eating had gotten pretty bad, lots of takeout, not enough actual cooking. So, I made a pact with myself for Virgo season. I started planning my meals for the week on Sundays. Nothing fancy, just simple stuff I could easily whip up after work.
- I went grocery shopping with a list, and for once, I actually stuck to it.
- I cooked dinner almost every night. Even simple things like chicken and veggies, or a big pot of soup.
- I packed my lunch for work, which saved me a ton of money and meant I wasn’t just grabbing whatever was convenient.
Then, there was the exercise bit. I used to be pretty good about walking every morning, but that had fallen by the wayside. So, I set my alarm 30 minutes earlier and forced myself to get out for a quick walk around the block. Rain or shine. It was tough at first, hitting that snooze button was always tempting, but after a week or so, it just became part of my day. I felt more awake, more ready to tackle the day.
At work, things were usually a bit chaotic too. I had a gazillion things on my plate and was constantly feeling behind. I decided to apply some of that organizing energy there too. I started by just writing down everything I needed to do, no matter how small. Then, I broke down the bigger projects into smaller, more manageable steps. I even got myself a new planner and started writing things out, color-coding stuff for different priorities. I used to think all that was silly, but man, it really helped me visualize what needed doing and tackle it one piece at a time.
Tackling the Annoying Little Things
You know how there are always those little things, those nagging tasks you keep putting off? For me, it was a few things. Like that weird squeak in my car when I turned the wheel. Or finally getting around to changing the air filter in my AC unit. Or even just replying to a bunch of emails that had been sitting in my inbox for weeks.
Virgo season just made me want to deal with them. I called the mechanic and booked an appointment for the car. I ordered a new air filter online and changed it myself one Saturday afternoon. I sat down one evening and just powered through all those old emails, deleting the junk, responding to the important ones. It wasn’t fun, it was tedious, but boy, the feeling of getting it done was amazing. It was like finally clearing out all those tiny mental tabs that had been open in my brain.
By the time Virgo season started winding down, I truly felt a shift. It wasn’t some magical transformation, no grand epiphanies, but I had actively engaged with the energy of that time. I used it to push myself to do the practical, sometimes boring, work of putting my life in order. My apartment was cleaner, my routine was healthier, and those nagging tasks were finally checked off. It taught me that sometimes, you just gotta roll up your sleeves and do the mundane work if you want to feel better and more in control. And honestly, it worked.
