Alright folks, buckle up. Been meaning to dig into this old Virgo work prediction thing from 2019. Found it archived somewhere in my endless bookmarks. Figured why not? Let’s see how spot-on or wildly off it really was.
How I Actually Did This
First, I hunted down the dang prediction. Wasn’t easy. 2019 feels like ancient history online. Took me ages scrolling through dusty corners of the internet archives. Found a couple of snippets here and there, mostly text versions because the pretty graphics were long gone.
Then I sat down at my stupid kitchen table – the one with the wobbly leg – and pulled out my old work journals from 2019. Yep, I still keep those notebooks filled with scribbles about projects, annoying colleagues, boss rants, you name it. Laid the prediction snippets next to the journals.
My plan was simple: go through each key point for Virgo work life in 2019 according to that prediction, and match it against my own scribbles. Like detective work, but for my own boring career.
Here’s the grunt work I did:
- Point one (Planning Overdrive): The prediction said something about Virgos needing meticulous plans that year. I flipped through January to March in my journal. Found pages and pages of lists, schedules, color-coded task grids… honestly embarrassing. It was like I was planning the invasion of Normandy just to handle my quarterly reports. So yeah, prediction nailed it.
- Point two (Criticism Alert): It warned Virgos would be extra critical at work and might need to tone it down. This made me wince. Remembered a huge blow-up with the marketing guy in May. Found the journal entry: my scribbly rant about his “strategic incompetence” and a big star next to it where I wrote “WATCH YOUR MOUTH.” Didn’t watch it well enough, got pulled aside by HR later that week. Guilty as charged.
- Point three (Service Mode): Talked about Virgos finding satisfaction in “serving” team members. I snorted. Dug deeper. Mid-2019 entries… yeah, there it was. Covered for Julie when her kid was sick, basically did my job and hers for two weeks. Journal has “Julie owes me BIG time” underlined. Felt strangely okay about it? Prediction got this one too.
- Point four (Overwork Trap): Classic Virgo danger zone. Prediction warned about taking on too much. Let’s see… July journal: huge block letters “FEELING BURNED OUT,” surrounded by frantic to-do lists longer than my arm. September entry detailing a stupid cold I couldn’t shake because I just wouldn’t take a day off. Painfully accurate.
- Point five (Detail Devil): Said Virgos would either nail the details or get totally lost in them. Found an August entry freaking out about tiny errors in a client presentation draft. Spent HOURS fixing commas when the big picture stuff was actually solid. Then a later entry in November bragging how spotting one tiny data error saved a big contract. Double whammy.
Putting It All Together & Seeing the Mess
Once I mapped all the prediction points against my journal chaos, it was kinda scary. This thing from five years ago predicted my work-life… well, the trainwreck parts anyway. It wasn’t magic – it just amplified the usual Virgo tendencies I already have: the nitpicking, the list-making, the urge to fix everything.
2019 felt like a grind. Reading back now? Damn, it was the purest, most annoying Virgo career year. Didn’t magically land that huge promotion the vague prediction hinted might happen near year’s end – nope, still slogged away. But the everyday stuff? The constant juggle between my strengths (detail focus, helping) tripping me up (overworking, criticizing)? Yep. Spot on.
So yeah. Looking back now, five years later, it’s less about the stars and more about recognizing your own damn patterns. That prediction in 2019 basically just held a mirror up to my worst (and sometimes best) work habits. Kinda sobering. Mostly just kinda funny how predictable we can be, astrological sign or not.
