My Experiment to Find the Perfect Time
Alright, so I kept seeing Virgo horoscope stuff pop up online, especially that “ELLE Weekly” one everyone talks about. Honestly, I usually glance at mine maybe once a month if I’m bored? But this “Best Time” thing got stuck in my head. Like, is there seriously an ideal moment? That’s kinda funny, right? Anyway, decided today was the day I’d actually figure it out for myself.
First step was totally obvious: I grabbed my phone. Opened the browser. Now, where do people actually find these things? Typed in something simple like “Virgo horoscope ELLE”. Hit search. Boom, it popped up. Turns out that specific weekly update everyone mentions? It’s pretty easy to find.
Next hurdle: When does this thing even update? Clicked around on the site a bit. Scrolled way down – you know how these things hide the dates sometimes? Found it. The fine print said it gets a new one dropped every Monday. Okay, solid starting point. Mondays it is. But when on Monday?
Got my coffee. Sat down properly at my laptop now. Serious mode. Wanted to see how fast this update lands. Set a reminder on my phone for Monday, super early. Like, 7:00 AM my time kinda early. Woke up, still bleary-eyed, grabbed the laptop. Refreshed the ELLE Weekly Virgo page. Nothing new. Refreshed again at 7:30… still the old week’s stuff. Waited.
Tried again at 8:00 AM. Bingo! Brand new week. Looked super fresh. So, seems like sometime between 7:30 and 8:00 AM my time is when the magic happens. Makes sense, right? Get it online for the early birds checking their phones with breakfast.
Here’s the practical stuff I figured out:
- Fresh Mondays: Definitely shoot for Monday morning. Trying on Sunday night is pointless, totally wasted my time checking then.
- Early-ish Bird: Don’t kill yourself getting up at dawn unless you’re already up. Anytime after 8:00 AM seems reliably safe. Read mine closer to 9:00 AM after the dog walk, still perfect.
- Set a Reminder! Seriously, this was my best move. Made a repeating reminder: “Monday 8:30 AM – Check Virgo Vibes”. Simple. Makes sure I don’t just forget.
- Just Relax: Does reading it exactly as the update hits make it better? Like, astrologically charged? Nah, probably not. But hey, it feels kinda nice getting it first thing with your coffee, fresh off the digital press.
So yeah, that was my totally simple, kinda random, Tuesday-not-Monday experiment. No secret ritual, just some browser refreshing and coffee. Found a sweet spot that works perfectly for me now. Mondays, sometime after 8 AM, reminder set. Done.
