Why I Checked My Virgo Career Horoscope This Week
Felt totally stuck last Monday with my job hunt. Got rejected from three interviews back-to-back. Was staring at my laptop wondering if I should just give up. Then remembered my buddy joking about astrology, so thought “hell, why not try my weekly Virgo career horoscope?”
Digging Into The Predictions
Typed “Virgo career horoscope this week” and clicked the first legit-looking site. Scrolled straight to the career section. The main points jumped out:
- Tuesday to Thursday: Mercury retrograde ending so communication mishaps clear up
- Key action: Reconnect with old contacts before Friday
- Warning: Avoid signing contracts midweek
Almost closed the tab thinking it’s nonsense, but then saw “favor from past supervisor” mentioned. That made me pause.
What I Actually Did About It
Tuesday morning, I dug up my ex-boss’s number from two jobs ago. Texted him: “Hey man, long time no see – coffee on me?” Was shocked when he replied in 10 minutes. Grabbed lattes Wednesday afternoon. Casual chat mostly, but when I mentioned job struggles, he goes: “Weird timing – my assistant just quit this morning.” Dropped my resume with him Thursday.
Friday 10am got a call for an emergency interview. Practiced my pitch using the horoscope tip about “clear communication post-Mercury.” Nailed it by being extra direct about my skills.
How It Played Out
Monday morning offer letter hits my inbox. Exactly the salary range I wanted. Here’s the twist: They wanted me to sign immediately, but I remembered the “no midweek contracts” note. Pushed back saying I needed 24 hours to review. Found sketchy non-compete clause buried on page 8. Got it removed before signing today.
Still don’t know if it was pure coincidence or actual star magic. But hell, reconnecting with Dave saved my ass when I was ready to rage-quit job searching. Might check next week’s too.
