Okay folks, grab a coffee, this one’s gonna be real. Been checking horoscopes kinda regularly, mostly for a giggle, you know? Figured I’d try taking Elle’s Virgo one for a spin this month. Seriously, let’s see if that thing holds water.
Digging Into the Predictions
First step, like always, popped the app open. “Monthly Virgo Horoscope” – found it easy enough. Title promised “Key Predictions Revealed,” so hey, sounded juicy. Started reading right there on my phone screen.
Immediately saw stuff about relationships needing extra effort. Something like “Venus in Taurus encourages stability, but Mercury retrograde? Oof, watch out.” Felt a little skeptical, yeah, “watch out” is kinda vague, right? But noted it.
Scrolled down. Career stuff came next. Talked about opportunities coming my way if I stayed “organized” – typical Virgo advice, honestly. But then it said something specific: “Expect a significant professional conversation around the full moon.” Okay, that was a concrete date I could actually look out for. Marked my calendar mentally.
Other bits were fluffier – self-care reminders, financial caution. Felt generic. But that career meeting? I focused on that. Figured I’d just go about my normal work routine and see if, purely by dumb luck or cosmic forces, such a convo happened. Wouldn’t force it, just observe.
The Month Unfolds (And Oh Boy)
So, work rolled on. Kept things ticking over, organized my spreadsheets like a good Virgo should. First week, zilch. Same old, same old. Then, middle of the month, things got… bumpy.
- Relationship Effort? Yeah, big time. Partner got slammed with a dumb work crisis. Tense vibes at home. Felt like walking on eggshells sometimes, trying to be supportive but also not adding fuel to the fire. Definite “effort required” phase kicked in hard.
- Financial Caution? Oh, hello surprise car repair! Just nailed me out of nowhere. Budget got thrown right out the window. That horoscope suddenly felt a bit too real.
But honestly, that stuff kinda happens, horoscope or not. The real test was that “significant professional conversation.” Full moon date circled in my head.
The Big Full Moon Moment (Or Not)
Day before the full moon? Nada. Full moon day itself? Morning flew by in regular meetings. Afternoon… nothing major stands out. Started thinking, “Right, called it, complete BS.” Went about my business, mildly disappointed but unsurprised.
THEN. Next morning. Boss pinged me. “Need to chat, 30 mins?” Sure, I said. Figured it was project updates. Hopped on the call.
Turns out? Big conversation. Not just updates. Potential big shift in responsibilities, actually serious strategic stuff for next year. Way more significant than I expected. And sure, it was technically the day after the full moon… but close enough? Or pure timing coincidence? Who knows.
So, What Do I Think Now?
Honestly, I went in thinking it was mostly fluff. Came out feeling… kinda weird? The relationship stress and that stupid car bill? Annoyingly relevant. The money stuff was bang on that week. And that big work chat? Felt spookily timed, even if a day off their mark.
Did it change my life? Nah. Was it fun tracking? Actually, yeah. Gave me this funny lens to watch the month through. Would I plan my life by it? Hell no. But maybe it’s not completely random words thrown at a page? Sometimes the patterns, even vague ones, line up in a creepy way.
Final verdict: Entertaining experiment. Some hits, some vague misses. Take it with a huge grain of salt, Virgos, but hey… maybe stay organized and watch the car repair fund next month anyway. Universe or just crappy luck, seems practical.
