My Virgo Week Experiment
So lemme tell ya how this whole “Boost Your Week Virgo Horoscope” thing went down. Found it on Astroyogi early Monday while sipping my coffee, feeling kinda bleh about the week ahead. Gotta admit, I’m usually like “eh, horoscopes?” but figured, why not? Worst case, nothing changes. Best case, maybe it helps?
The Plan Looked Like This
It basically threw a bunch of stuff at me for Virgos this week:
- Organize your dang workspace – like, really organize it. Papers flying everywhere? Nuh-uh.
- Talk less, listen way more – especially in meetings or convos. Zip it sometimes.
- Green is your “lucky” color – wear it, stare at it, whatever floats your boat.
- Tuesday is the big energy day – tackle the tough stuff then, don’t chicken out.
- Double-check EVERYTHING before sending – emails, texts, grocery lists. Don’t trust your first go.
Alright, game on. First up? My desk. Looked like a tornado hit a paper factory. Grabbed some folders and bins I had lying around – wasn’t buying fancy stuff for an experiment. Spent a whole hour sorting, trashing, filing. Felt kinda good actually? Like wiping a dirty window.
Putting The Listen More Thing To Work
Had a team call Tuesday morning (big energy day, right?). Normally, I jump in fast with ideas. This time? Bit my tongue. Hard. Let other folks talk first. Felt weird, like holding my breath. But honestly? Heard some smart points I usually bulldoze over. When I finally talked, felt… sharper. Weird.
Green? Dug out an old forest green t-shirt. Wore it Tuesday. Did I feel magically luckier? Nah. But it was a nice color, reminded me of the plan.
The Big Test
Wednesday had a client pitch. Normally sweat bullets. Used the “double-check everything” rule big time. Proofread my slides like a hawk spotting a mouse. Checked numbers twice. Ran through my talk out loud. Nervous? Sure. But felt less wobbly walking in. Didn’t flub any numbers. Whew.
Kept trying the listen thing. In the coffee line Thursday. With my partner at dinner Friday. Shut up more. Listened harder. Conversations felt… less like ping-pong? More like actual volleys.
Did It “Boost” The Week?
Honest truth? Didn’t turn me into a superhero. But here’s what happened:
- The clean desk? Made finding stuff way faster all week. Felt less chaotic just sitting down.
- Listening more? Saved my butt Tuesday, made other chats smoother. People seemed… calmer talking to me?
- Double-checking? Zero dumb mistakes on the pitch Wednesday. Major win.
- Green shirt? Still just a shirt.
Biggest surprise? Paying attention to how I work (organized) and how I talk (listening) felt way more useful than just hoping for “luck”. Less magic eight ball, more toolbox. Gotta admit, I’m kinda hooked on the organization and double-checking now. Horoscope kickstarted it? Guess so. Worth trying? Heck yeah.
