So last Thursday evening, I’m scrolling through Twitter when I see folks buzzing about the latest Virgo horoscope from Elle. Now I’m not usually big on astrology, but since I’m actually a Virgo myself and work’s been crazy lately, I figured why not check it out. Pulled up the article on my phone right there at the dinner table.
Grabbing My Analysis Tools
First thing Saturday morning, I brewed some coffee and got my notebook ready. Didn’t wanna just skim it like normal people – I wanted to really pick it apart. Made three columns: “What they say”, “My take”, and “Action points”. Grabbed different colored pens too because color-coding helps my Virgo brain organize stuff.
The Deep Dive Process
Started reading slowly paragraph by paragraph. When they mentioned career stuff, I wrote down exact quotes in blue pen. Then in red, I scribbled notes like “yeah this matches my project deadline stress” or “doubtful about this collaboration prediction”. Got super specific – even paused to check my calendar when they talked about important dates.
Real-Life Testing Phase
The fun part came Sunday when I deliberately tried following some advice. When they said Virgos should “speak up about hidden talents”, I brought up my photography hobby in a work meeting. And for the “nurturing relationships” bit, I actually called my sister instead of texting. Felt weird but surprisingly good.
Kept track all week like this:
- Monday: Tried their money-saving tip about avoiding impulse buys
- Tuesday: Tested the “critical self-talk” warning during my gym session
- Wednesday: Followed the creativity advice by sketching before bed
Final Takeaways
Honestly? Some predictions lined up scary well – like that random work conflict popping up right when they said it would. Other parts felt like total nonsense though, especially the health stuff about digestion. Biggest surprise was how consciously following advice revealed patterns in my own behavior I’d normally ignore.
Would I do this every week? Probably not – took way more time than I expected. But for now? Gotta admit it was kinda fun being my own astrology guinea pig for seven days straight.
