So I found this Virgo weekly forecast thing floating around last Monday. Figured why not try it out? My planner was already a mess anyway. Grabbed my coffee, turned off notifications, and sat down to actually follow their steps.
Step One: Moon Phase Prep
First thing they said was to check moon phases. Pulled up my weather app – waning gibbous, whatever that means. Forecast said Virgos should “release stagnant energy” during this phase. So I took three expired yogurts from the fridge and dumped ’em. Felt kinda stupid but also… lighter? Maybe placebo effect.
The Mercury Retrograde Drill
Ugh, Mercury was in retrograde apparently. The instructions were specific:
- Backup phone before Tuesday
- Re-read emails before sending
- Avoid signing contracts
Did the phone backup immediately. Wednesday my boss sent this vague project brief – almost replied “WTF does this mean?” but remembered the email rule. Rewrote it polite. Dodged a bullet there.
Organizing Chaos (Literally)
The forecast said Thursday was prime organization day. Cleared out my junk drawer – found 14 dead pens and my missing AirPod case. They weren’t kidding about Virgos thriving on order. Felt weirdly satisfied labeling all my spices afterwards.
The Social Test
Friday’s advice was tough: “Say no to draining interactions”. My chatty neighbor cornered me by the mailboxes. Usually I’d stand there 20 minutes nodding. This time? Cut it off at 5 minutes with “Gotta feed my cat”. Massive victory. The cat wasn’t even hungry.
Results After 7 Days
Honestly? Some stuff worked unexpectedly well. Backup saved me when my phone glitched Tuesday. The “release clutter” thing actually made my kitchen feel better. But the career prediction? Said I’d get “surprising recognition”. Nada. Still waiting on that promotion, universe.
Biggest takeaway? Astrology stuff’s part luck, part self-fulfilling prophecy. But forcing myself to do the moon phase crap got me cleaning, and Mercury warnings made me double-check emails – so net positive? Maybe. Might try again next week if coffee’s strong enough.
