So today I stumbled across this AskGanesha Virgo weekly career thing. Figured why not, right? Being a typical Virgo overthinker, I grabbed my coffee, sat down with my notebook, and got ready to scribble notes.
First Impressions
Honestly rolled my eyes at first. Most horoscopes give fluffy advice like “network more” or “stay positive”. But this one grabbed me when it said “stop fixing colleagues’ messes this week”. Damn straight – I’ve been playing office janitor for months!
The Actual Process
Opened their page on my phone while eating breakfast. Scrolled through three main points:
- Ditch the “fixer” mentality Tuesday-Thursday
- Ask blunt questions in Friday meetings
- Schedule 15 min daily planning – with alarms
How I Tested It
Started Wednesday morning when Dave from accounting emailed about his spreadsheet disaster. Normally I’d drop everything to help. Nope! Replied “Swamped until 3pm next week” and turned off notifications. Felt guilty for 2 hours until Dave magically figured it out himself.
Then Friday’s budget meeting – our boss was rambling about “synergy pipelines”. Usually I’d stay quiet. Remembered point two and cut in: “So…does this actually cut project costs or is it fluff?” Whole room got quiet. Boss blinked twice then actually gave straight numbers. Wild!
Weirdest Outcome
The daily planning thing backfired on me. Set alarms for 9am planning sessions but forgot to account for coffee/bathroom breaks. Ended up scheduling back-to-back meetings Tuesday. Almost peed my pants running between conference rooms. Still – felt way more organized than my usual chaos.
Overall? Actually useful. Usually these forecasts make you feel like you swallowed glitter. This one gave concrete actions that changed how I worked all week. Might actually check next Monday…after I buy a better planner app.
