So I got this idea to break down Virgo horoscopes for 2021, right? Wanted to see if those monthly predictions actually lined up with real life stuff. Grabbed my laptop first thing in the morning, coffee steaming beside me. Opened up Google Docs – my usual spot for dumping thoughts.
The Research Grind
Started searching like crazy for legit astrology sites. Not that fluffy stuff, nah. Needed details about planetary positions back in 2021 for Virgos. Checked dates, transits, the whole shebang. Scribbled notes in my doc:
- Saturn in Aquarius messing with routines? Sounded familiar.
- Jupiter in Pisces – supposed big dreams?
- Mercury retrograde dates circled like danger zones.
Man, cross-referencing all those cosmic schedules felt like solving a puzzle with missing pieces.
Then I dove into my own old planners and journals. Dug through 2021 like an archaeologist. Flipped pages, squinted at faded handwriting.
Found it – that job switch panic in April. Remembered feeling stuck. And boom, Saturn was doing its thing exactly then, according to my notes. Weird coincidence, huh?
Putting It Together
Time to write. Tried making it sound less textbook, more like chatting over coffee. Drafted bits about how Virgos might’ve felt that pressure cooker vibe mid-year. Then got stuck.
Deleted half a page. Typical Virgo move – overthinking the flow.
Went back to my scribbles. Added bullet points in the doc about key moments:
- That awful Mercury retrograde in September when my laptop died before a deadline. Classic.
- November’s Jupiter stuff lining up with my surprise bonus.
Just raw, real stuff. No sugarcoating.
Formatting Hell & Final Tweaks
Copied everything into WordPress later. Pasted it and ugh. Messed up spacing everywhere. Spent ages fighting with block editor. Paragraphs lumped together, bullet points looking drunk. Fixed it line by line, muttering about tech gremlins.
Reread the whole thing before hitting publish. Added a line about how predictions aren’t fate – just a heads-up tool. Because hey, free will matters. Double-checked dates against my old calendar. Almost missed that Mars transit chaos in July. Added a quick warning about burnout risks then. Done.
Posted it. Relief. Then remembered I forgot to tag categories. Went back in. Sighed. Typical.
Bonus: The Office Drama
Why even bother tracking this stuff? Truth bomb: my old office buddy Karen used astrology like daily weather reports. Super serious about it. February 2021 prediction? Said a ‘major conflict’ was brewing. We both scoffed. Then bam – March rolls in, department head clash explodes, Karen gets stuck refereeing. I swear her face went pale when she reread that forecast. Made me wonder… maybe there’s smoke where there’s fire? Or she just jinxed us.
