So, here we go, talking about something I did way back in 2014. It feels like ages ago, but I remember it pretty clearly because it was a bit of an experiment for me. I got into this whole thing of actually reviewing my monthly Virgo Moon Sign horoscopes. Yeah, I know, sounds a bit out there, right? But I was just in one of those phases, a bit curious, a bit open to trying new stuff, seeing if there was any real pattern to it all.
It all kicked off at the tail end of 2013, actually. I was just browsing around online, stumbling onto different astrology sites, and I saw a few that offered pretty detailed monthly breakdowns for moon signs. Now, I’d always known my sun sign, but the moon sign thing was a bit newer to me, a deeper dive into emotions and inner self, they said. I found a couple of sites that felt pretty decent, not too fluffy, not too vague. So I thought, why not? Let’s just track this thing for a full year and see what gives.
My first step, seriously, was just to pick my go-to sources. I didn’t want to get overwhelmed with too many different interpretations, so I narrowed it down to two sites that seemed to have a consistent voice and provide their horoscopes pretty early in the month. I’d mark the first few days of each month in my old physical planner – remember those? – as “Horoscope Check-in.”
When the first of January 2014 rolled around, I went straight to those sites. I pulled up my Virgo Moon Sign monthly forecast. I didn’t just read it and forget it, though. That was the whole point of this “review” thing. I actually grabbed a plain old notebook, one of those cheap spiral-bound ones, and titled the first page “January 2014 – Virgo Moon.”
I started by jotting down the main themes, the key predictions or warnings they were giving. Like, if they talked about “focus on career growth” or “potential for family drama” or “take care of your health.” I condensed it, wrote down the keywords, maybe a sentence or two for each big point. I even added a little column for “my take” where I’d put my initial gut feeling about it. Did it resonate right away? Did it feel totally off? Didn’t matter, just captured that first impression.
Then, the real work began, if you can call it that. Throughout January, I’d casually revisit those notes in my notebook. Not daily, not even weekly, but maybe once or twice mid-month, and definitely at the very end. The idea was to keep an eye on my actual life, what was happening, how I was feeling, and then kinda cross-reference it with what the horoscope had predicted. For example, if it said “expect some unexpected expenses,” and then my car broke down, I’d quickly add a note in my book next to that prediction: “Car repair – $XXX – YEP!” or “No big expenses this month – nope.”
I kept this up, faithfully, for the entire year. Every single month. February, March, all the way to December. Some months, it felt like those horoscopes were written just for me. Things that they highlighted, whether good or bad, seemed to pop up in my life in some form. There were periods when they talked about deep introspection, and funnily enough, I found myself doing exactly that, thinking a lot about my path and my feelings.
- One month, I remember it was around spring, they really stressed communication with loved ones, and guess what? I had a few tricky conversations I had to navigate with family. It made me pause and think before I spoke, which was probably a good thing.
- Another time, they mentioned focusing on learning something new. Around that period, I actually signed up for a short online course, totally unrelated to work, just for fun. It was a weird coincidence.
- Then there were months where it was just… crickets. Nothing. The predictions felt generic, or my life just went in a completely different direction. They’d say “a month of intense social activity,” and I’d be chilling at home, happily antisocial.
At the very end of 2014, when the December review was done, I took that old, dog-eared notebook, flipped through every single page, and just read through all my notes. I wanted to give it a full, honest assessment. I looked for patterns. Were the “yeps” more frequent than the “nopes”? Did certain types of predictions, like about career or relationships, seem more accurate than others?
And you know what I found? It was a real mixed bag. There wasn’t some magical, undeniable cosmic alignment. But there was something else. What I realized was that the act of doing the review, of consciously looking at my life through the lens of those predictions, actually made me more aware of my own patterns, my own feelings, and the subtle shifts happening around me. When a horoscope mentioned “prepare for change,” I wasn’t necessarily guided by it, but I was perhaps a touch more observant of new opportunities or challenges that arose. It was like I had this little mental checklist running in the background.
Did it prove astrology is real? Nah, not for me. But it definitely showed me the power of focused self-reflection and observation. That year of reviewing those Virgo Moon Sign horoscopes, it wasn’t about the predictions; it was about the process of watching my own life unfold. And honestly, that was a pretty cool takeaway.
