Man, I gotta tell you about this crazy thing I did a while back. It was November 2022, and my love life was—well, let’s just say it was a bit of a mess. I was dating someone, but it felt like we were always hitting these weird little roadblocks. Just friction everywhere, you know? Nothing major, but enough to make you scratch your head.
I’m a Virgo, right? Total perfectionist, overthinker, analyze-everything kinda guy. So naturally, instead of just talking to my partner like a normal person, I decided to dive deep into my monthly horoscope. Specifically, what it had to say about love for November 2022. I wanted some cosmic clarity, or maybe just someone else to blame.
The Deep Dive Begins: Hunting the Cosmic Clues
First thing I did was hit Google. I typed in “Virgo November 2022 Monthly Horoscope Love.” I didn’t just look at one site, oh no. Being a Virgo, I had to cross-reference like I was preparing for a thesis defense. I opened like ten different astrology blogs and sites. The big ones, the small ones, the ones that looked kinda mystical and the ones that looked like they were run by some dude named Bob in his basement.
- I started with a quick skim. What was the general vibe?
- Then I looked for specific planetary movements. I had to figure out what Venus was doing. Venus, the planet of love and relationships, apparently.
- I focused hard on the bits about communication—Mercury, if I recall correctly. Because that was our biggest issue: talking without biting each other’s heads off.
What I found was confusing as hell at first. Some sites said it was a time for “deep emotional connection,” others warned about “misunderstandings fueled by retrograde energy.” Great. Super helpful.
Synthesizing the Stars: My Personal Interpretation
I took all this conflicting info and tried to synthesize it. My process went something like this:
Step 1: Identify Common Themes. Almost all of them mentioned a focus shifting towards home and domestic life. This actually resonated because we had been arguing about moving in together.
Step 2: Note the Warnings. The recurring warnings were about perfectionism (classic Virgo trap) leading to nitpicking, and the need to truly listen rather than just plan my rebuttal. That hit me right in the feels because I knew I was doing exactly that.
Step 3: Actionable Advice Extraction. The most practical advice I pulled was that emotional stability would increase later in the month, after the first two weeks, and that I should use the early part of the month for introspection and clearing up old, buried resentments.
The Implementation: Putting Astrology to the Test
So, here’s where the rubber met the road. I decided to treat the first two weeks of November as a “low-conflict zone.” If I felt the urge to critique the way my partner stacked the dishes or loaded the washing machine, I bit my tongue. Hard. I focused on showing appreciation instead.
I even scheduled a “clear the air” date night around the 15th of November—when the horoscopes generally agreed that the intense energies would calm down. Before that date, I wrote down all the things that had been bugging me—not to present a list of grievances, but just to process them myself so I could talk calmly and clearly.
When the date came, I didn’t frame it as “The Stars Told Me To Do This.” I just brought up the moving-in discussion and our overall communication style. And because I had spent two weeks intentionally not being an overly critical Virgo, the conversation actually flowed much better. We weren’t defensive; we were actually listening.
We managed to hash out the big stuff that night. By the end of November, things really had settled down. We even found a place we both liked.
Did the horoscope cause the change? Maybe not directly. But my dive into it forced me to step back, analyze my own behavior (which is what Virgos are best at, honestly), and intentionally change my approach for those specific weeks. It was a weird mental trick, but hey, it worked. Sometimes you just need an external, slightly ridiculous framework to force yourself out of your own bad habits.
