So last month, I noticed my Virgo clients kept asking about career moves during June. Astrology stuff ain’t usually my main gig, but curiosity got me. Figured I’d track this personally since Mercury rules Virgos – and Mercury was doing funky retrogrades.
Started simple: dug out my dusty astrology apps first week of June. Checked planetary positions hourly like a madman while drinking cold brew. Saturn in Pisces? Mars squaring Jupiter? Honestly half these terms sounded like bad sci-fi movie titles. Just scribbled notes in my worn-out notebook: “June 3rd – Mercury enters Gemini. Feels like chaos for Virgo workflows.”
The real experiment kicked in when my own job got shaky. Boss announced restructuring June 10th – perfect timing for this Virgo case study! Decided to apply astro advice in real-time:
- Paused every damn impulse move when Mercury went retrograde June 11th. Even when HR offered “urgent” role changes, replied: “Lemme sleep on it”
- Channeled Virgo practicality by color-coding spreadsheets about skills gaps instead of rage-applying to random jobs
- Used that full moon in Sagittarius June 18th for uncomfortable networking – messaged three ex-colleagues I’d ghosted
Weirdest thing happened June 24th during Venus-Uranus alignment. Got approached for freelance gig from one of those “let’s grab coffee” ex-coworkers! Meanwhile, the coworker who panic-accepted restructuring? Already miserable in new role.
Final takeaway? Astrology ain’t magic. But tracking planetary movements forced this impatient Virgo to slow down during career chaos. The cosmic delays? They became tactical pauses. The unexpected job offer? Came because I stopped forcing “perfect plan” logic. Still think Mercury retrograde is mostly hype though – unless my wifi conveniently crashes during Zoom negotiations.
