Alright folks, buckle up ’cause this week I decided to actually do something wild for a change. Been seeing all those “Virgo Money Luck” posts floating around, usually I just scroll right past ’em, total noise. But this Monday morning, coffee in hand, felt a weird itch to see if any of it held water. Yeah, laugh it up, I know.
How I Started This Madness
First step? Trawled the web. Didn’t dive deep, just grabbed the most common snippets for Virgo money luck this week. Looked like “unexpected opportunities” was the big theme everyone kept hammering, along with “double-check documents” and “be open to old contacts.” Sounded vague as heck, honestly. Figured, what the hell, I’ll try acting on it. Rigorously.
What I Actually Did Day by Day
Tuesday: Normally I’d bin junk mail immediately. This time? Opened every single one, even the sketchy “YOU’VE WON A CRUISE!” ones. Waste of time? Mostly. Except buried in the spam was an actual email from an old client I forgot about ages ago. They wanted a super quick gig reviewing some web copy. Followed that “old contacts” advice. Spent 40 minutes on it Tuesday night, invoiced ’em. Boom. Unexpected $150.
Wednesday: Focused on “double-checking documents.” Had this invoice heading out for freelance work. Normally, I’d fire it off after a quick look. Nope. Sat down, used a friggin’ calculator, went line by line. Found two typos in the hours logged and a miscalculation – I’d shorted myself nearly $85! Fixed it. Got paid the full amount later. Huh.
Thursday: The universe supposedly wanted me “open.” My gut reaction? No. Ignored a networking invite from someone I barely know. Remembered the advice halfway through my coffee. Grudgingly messaged back saying “maybe, what’s up?” Turns out they knew about a tiny contract gig perfect for my skillset starting next Monday. Small retainer, but steady for a month. Would’ve ignored it completely otherwise.
Friday: Wildcard day. Read something about “small speculative actions being favored.” Pure woo-woo. But hey, in for a penny. Went totally dumb. Bought one single lottery scratch card with my lunch money. Never do that. Scratched it off… won $20. Enough for lunch and a chuckle.
Stumbling Blocks & Dumb Moments
- Spilled coffee all over my keyboard Tuesday morning trying to juggle the research notes. Blamed Mercury retrograde. Had to use my backup laptop like a caveman.
- Getting over my built-in skeptic alarm everytime I tried one of the “lucky actions.” Felt like an idiot reaching out to that old client.
- Almost forgot the entire experiment Wednesday evening. Almost just sent the invoice unchecked. My reminder alarm saved my butt.
So… Did It Actually Work?
Honest verdict? Weirdly… kinda? Not magic money rain, but small, concrete stuff happened that directly followed the advice I found:
- $150 unexpected gig (old contact)
- $85 saved on an invoice mistake (double-checking)
- Potential extra work next week (being open)
- Dumb $20 lottery win (speculative action)
Total financial bump this week strictly from doing this stupid experiment? Around $255 cash, plus a possible gig. More importantly, caught that invoice mistake.
The twist? None of it felt like “luck” in the mystical sense. It felt like… paying stupidly close attention to things I usually half-ass, and not shutting doors immediately. Was it the stars? Probably not. Was it useful? Yeah, actually. Made me review stuff I’d normally skip, say yes to things I’d normally ignore. Going forward? I’ll probably just… keep double-checking invoices and replying to old emails occasionally. Maybe skip the lottery though. Still think it’s mostly nonsense, but hey, the results made me buy another scratch card for next week. See? I learned nothing.
