So here’s the deal. Back in March 2016, I stumbled upon this astrology software while cleaning my digital files. Totally forgot I bought it during some midnight sale years ago. Thought: Why not use it for April’s Virgo forecast? Could be fun.
The Awkward Beginning
Cracked open the software on my dusty laptop. First hurdle? Needed exact planetary positions for April 2016. Dug through old astronomy databases until I found NASA’s planetary data tables. Took three coffees to format that mess into something the software could swallow.
Midnight Struggles
Generated the basic chart around 2 AM. Looked like alphabet soup mixed with hieroglyphics. Had to cross-check every symbol:
- Spent an hour matching Mercury’s retrograde path
- Kept mixing up Jupiter and Venus placements twice
- Triple-checked the houses for accuracy
My cat kept walking on the keyboard like some furry cosmic critic.
The “Aha” Moment
Finally spotted patterns emerging. Mercury retrograde screamed “career communication disasters.” Saturn’s position hinted at money management issues. Jotted down key themes:
- Workplace misunderstandings before April 7th
- Financial caution around mid-month
- Unexpected social opportunities near April 27th
Realized Virgos would need concrete tips, not vague “follow your dreams” crap.
Making It Human
Translated astro-jargon into real-life scenarios. Like instead of “Mercury in fourth house,” wrote “Don’t sign lease agreements when stressed – wait until April 10th.” Tested drafts on my Virgo cousin who said: “Stop being space wizard, tell me when to avoid arguments!”
Published it with a disclaimer: “This ain’t gospel, just one Virgo nerd’s planetary math homework.” Woke up to 32 emails next morning – half calling it scary accurate, half saying I forgot to mention Venus’ rising effect. Classic internet.
