So today I decided to dive into that Virgo money horoscope for 2024 everyone’s buzzing about. Honestly, I was kinda skeptical – you know, typical Virgo here needing proof! But finances are tight lately, and I’ll try anything halfway sensible.
Step one was printing the stupid thing out. Figured if I saw it physically, I might actually follow through. Sat down with my terrible, messy bank statement and a highlighter. The horoscope said something about “meticulous organization” being key. Yeah, no kidding. I laughed out loud at that. My expenses looked like a toddler scribbled on them.
Then came the part about cutting waste. They mentioned hidden fees draining resources. Fine. I pulled out my phone and scrolled through stupid subscriptions. Found three things I completely forgot I was paying for! Some music app I used once two years ago, a fancy cloud storage upgrade I didn’t need anymore, and that meditation app that just made me more anxious. Hit cancel on all of them. Felt kinda good.
The horoscope also went on about leveraging Virgo’s analytical skills for negotiation. Okay… this felt awkward. Remembered I needed to renew my website hosting plan. Called up the provider. Practiced my “I’m leaving unless you give me a deal” speech in my head twice. Got transferred three times. Finally spoke to someone. Sweating a little. Tried to sound confident. Mentioned competitor prices (which I quickly Googled while on hold). And guess what? Knocked fifteen bucks off the monthly fee! Not a massive win, but fifteen bucks is fifteen bucks.
The “boosting finances” bit involved suggestions for practical side gigs. It specifically said “details matter” and “service-oriented opportunities.” Had a minor panic attack. All I know is writing stuff! Then I remembered how many friends and colleagues constantly moan about their blogs needing proofreading or help tweaking resumes. I’m that Virgo who spots every typo. So yesterday, I did it:
- Put up a super basic post in a local community group online.
- Offered freelance proofreading and editing help.
- Made it super specific: “Virgo-level obsessive comma checking for your blog or resume!”
Already got two bites! Just small jobs, but hey, that’s coffee money covered this month. Feels way more manageable than learning to code or something wild.
Overall? The horoscope wasn’t magic. But reading it kinda gave me a kick in the butt I needed.
- It forced me to look at my leaks (goodbye, useless subscriptions!).
- It made me try asking for better (hello, fifteen bucks!).
- It reminded me I already have usable skills (hello, freelance gig!).
Would I have done these eventually? Maybe. But seeing it framed as “Virgo energy” pushed me to actually do them today. Is my bank account overflowing? Nope. Does it feel slightly less chaotic? Hell yes. Will I keep it up? We’ll see… gotta track it all meticulously now, right?
