Starting to Dig into Those 2018 Virgo Moon Predictions
You know, back in 2017, I got really into astrology, not in a serious way, but more like, “Let’s see if this nonsense actually lines up with my life.” Specifically, my Virgo Moon sign. I figured, since the Moon rules emotions and habits, maybe those monthly horoscopes had something practical for me.
I started this whole thing as a pure experiment. I wasn’t buying fancy books or anything. I just used a couple of free websites that offered detailed, year-ahead forecasts broken down by month. The title of this post sums it up—I was looking at the 2018 predictions right as 2017 was winding down. I printed everything out. Literally, pages and pages of jargon about retrogrades and houses.
The Messy Process of Tracking
My first step was establishing a baseline. I grabbed a big, cheap notebook—the kind you use for grocery lists—and dedicated it entirely to this project. I went through the entire twelve months of predictions for my Virgo Moon sign and broke them down into simple, actionable themes: Career, Money, Relationships, and Health.
- January & February: The predictions talked a lot about sudden career shifts and needing to clean up my finances. I actually noted down every single bill payment and tried to reconcile my bank accounts daily. It was boring, but I needed the raw data.
- March through May: These months were heavy on relationship drama, apparently. I started logging significant interactions with my partner and close friends, noting down arguments or big, happy moments. I used a simple rating system: 1 (Terrible) to 5 (Amazing).
- Summer Months (June, July, August): Health and home improvement were the big topics. I tracked my workouts and sleep patterns religiously. I even logged when I finally got around to fixing that leaky faucet I’d been ignoring for months.
It was exhausting. I felt like a human surveillance camera for three months straight. I was constantly checking the notebook against what the horoscope said. The language in those horoscopes is always so vague, you know? Like, “A positive connection in the third house suggests an opportunity for growth.” What does that even mean? I had to translate that into something real, like “I might get a small promotion” or “My neighbor finally said hello.”
Hitting the Mid-Year Slump and Finding Patterns
Around July, I almost gave up. The predictions were just not lining up. The horoscope said a massive financial windfall was due in June, and I got a parking ticket instead. I felt silly for spending so much time on it. But I’m stubborn, and I told myself I had to see the whole year through.
Then, something weird happened in September. The forecast had warned about an unexpected issue with transportation or travel. I was supposed to fly out for a friend’s wedding, and my flight got canceled last minute due to a freak storm. It was a massive headache, but when I looked back at my notes, it was right there, predicted: “Avoid long-distance travel; mechanical or elemental issues abound.”
I realized the predictions weren’t about exact events, but more about themes and energy. When the forecast said “focus on home,” it meant that the most significant things happening that month—good or bad—would relate to my living situation or family, not necessarily that I’d win the lottery.
The Final Tally and What I Learned
By the end of December 2018, I had filled that notebook. I sat down and compared my real-life log with the original printed predictions. I used a highlighter: green for definite hits, yellow for vague correlation, and pink for complete misses.
The overall outcome? About 60% of the significant life events I logged had some kind of vague correlation with the monthly predictions. Not exact matches, but themes. The months predicted to be difficult financially were the months where I faced unexpected large expenses. The months predicted to be good for meeting new people did result in me expanding my social circle.
I wouldn’t say I’m a believer now, but what I loved about this whole crazy tracking process wasn’t the astrology itself. It forced me to pay attention to my life. I became hyper-aware of my spending, my emotional state, and my relationships simply because I was logging everything. That intentional awareness? That was the real win of 2018, and honestly, you will love that kind of deep introspection too.
