First, I Had to Get Off My Butt
Honestly? I almost skipped this Virgo career thing. Saw some random post about Virgos crushing it in 2025 if we just did a few simple steps. Figured, “Eh, why not? Worst case, it flops.” So I grabbed my notebook – old school, I know – and actually sat down Sunday night. Told myself I’d try it for real for just one week. No fancy expectations.
The “Guide” Was Basically Like…
Basically told me this:
- Monday: Tidy Up Your Space – Said a clean desk equals a clean mind. Virgos love order, right? Supposed to spark “clarity.”
- Tuesday: List Every Tiny Win – Even “answered 10 emails.” Gotta acknowledge progress. Confidence booster stuff.
- Wednesday: Chat Up Someone Higher – Not asking for anything! Just… talk. Build relationships naturally.
- Thursday: Say “Yes” To One Scary Thing – That project, that meeting… volunteer. Fake the courage.
- Friday: Block Time JUST For Future You – Planning or learning. No interruptions. Feed ambition.
Sounded too simple. Almost dumb. But hey, promised “fast advancement.” Okay Virgo, play along.
What Actually Went Down This Week
Monday morning sucked. Desk was a disaster zone. Papers, half-empty coffee cups, random cables. Took me a solid 45 minutes just clearing it off. Felt kinda good afterward though? Less clutter in the brain maybe. Place looked like actual adults worked there.
Tuesday felt awkward. Started writing down stuff like “fixed the printer jam” and “didn’t snap at Larry’s stupid joke.” Felt silly at first. But by noon? I had a list! And yeah, seeing it pile up felt… nice. Like proof I wasn’t just spinning wheels.
Wednesday was peak cringe. Saw the senior manager by the coffee machine. Heart started thumping. Normally I’d bail, grab water instead. But the horoscope said “talk.” So I walked right up. Asked how her weekend was. Just that. TWO sentences. Made some awkward small talk about terrible coffee. Died inside a little. But I did it. And she smiled!
Thursday almost broke me. They asked for volunteers for this cross-department meeting next week. Total visibility. Normally I’d melt into my chair. Horoscope screaming “SAY YES!!!” in my head. I raised my hand. Felt like throwing up immediately after.
Friday was the weirdest. Blocked my calendar 2-4 PM for “Strategic Planning.” Locked my door. Actually spent time digging into what skills I needed for that scary project I volunteered for on Thursday. Researched some online courses. Felt guilty ignoring emails… but it was legit productive. Planned a roadmap.
The Kicker? It Actually Kinda… Worked?
Not like a promotion fell in my lap Friday afternoon. Duh. But stuff happened:
- Felt WAY less chaotic starting Monday clean. Could actually think.
- That senior manager? Saw me Tuesday and said “Hey! Coffee’s still terrible!” Felt like a connection. Tiny win.
- Saying “yes” got noticed. Boss said “Appreciate you jumping on that” Thursday.
- Friday afternoon felt powerful. Like I took control.
Biggest surprise? By documenting the tiny wins Tuesday, I realized I do a ton of solid work. My review’s soon? Now I have a real list! Way better than scrambling.
Stupid horoscope? Maybe. But the basic steps weren’t magic. They just forced action. Did some cleaning, built a tiny bridge, took a risk, invested in myself. Simple. Not easy, but simple. Gotta admit… feels like something shifted. Made me see opportunities right under my nose. Gonna stick with these stupid steps for another week.
