Alright, so honestly, I usually roll my eyes at this stuff. But this morning? Man, it felt like the universe had it out for me Virgos. Spilled coffee twice before 8 AM, misplaced my keys, the works. Saw that horoscope title pop up in my feed: Daily Virgo Horoscope 2025: Avoid Bad Luck with These 3 Easy Steps. Figured, “Why not? Can’t get much worse.” Decided to actually follow it step-by-step today and see if it did anything. Total experiment, zero expectations.
Starting Off: The Energy Cleanse Thing
The first step was about cleaning up bad vibes around my space. Supposedly, clutter attracts bad luck? Felt kinda silly, but my desk was basically a paper avalanche and old coffee mug graveyard. So, I rolled up my sleeves and tackled it. Tossed junk mail, filed loose papers, washed those crusty mugs. Felt more productive just doing that, honestly. The step also mentioned opening windows to let ‘fresh energy’ in. Okay, fine. Cracked the window open even though it was chilly. Just stood there for a minute taking a deep breath. Did it magically clean my aura? No clue. But the room felt less stuffy, and I felt less like I was drowning in my own mess. Small win?
The Weird Part: Writing Stuff Down
Step two was gratitude stuff. Normally, I just grumble my way through mornings. This said to write down three things I’m grateful for right now. Grabbed a random notebook – seriously, it had like 2019 grocery lists in it. Stared at the page. Felt forced at first. Brain was empty. Then just scribbled:
- The coffee that didn’t spill on my laptop (this time)
- That the sun is actually out today
- My dumb dog snoring on the couch
Writing it down felt… weirdly okay? Didn’t turn me into a sunshine person, but it kinda stopped the morning grump spiral for a hot second. Focused my brain on stuff that wasn’t annoying me. Unexpected.
The Visualization Step (Almost Failed)
The last step was the woo-woo one: visualize your day going smoothly. Close your eyes, picture things working out. Honestly? I nearly skipped it. Felt ridiculous sitting at my newly clean desk with my eyes shut. But, commitment. Tried for maybe two minutes. Imagined my meeting not being a disaster, picturing myself finding the files I needed without frantic searching. Hard to keep focused – brain kept jumping to “What’s for lunch?” or “Did I pay that bill?” Had to yank it back. Felt like mental gymnastics more than magic. Didn’t exactly see golden light or anything. Just… tried not to picture everything exploding.
How It Actually Went Down
So, did these “3 easy steps” stop all bad luck? Heck no. The printer jammed again before my meeting. Got stuck behind a painfully slow driver on my coffee run. Normal life garbage happened. BUT. Here’s the thing:
- That meeting? Found the files quickly (remembered where I put them after cleaning!) and it went smoother than I pictured. No huge arguments.
- The printer jam was annoying, but I didn’t flip out. Just sighed, unjammed it, and moved on. Weirdly calm about it.
- Missed the bad driver causing a wreck by literally seconds? Pure luck? Maybe. But I wasn’t stuck in it.
No lottery wins, no sudden promotions. But the constant, grating small annoyances that usually pile up? Felt like fewer of them landed today, or they bounced off easier. Maybe the steps worked. Maybe cleaning the desk just put me in a better mood. Maybe it was placebo effect. Don’t really care. Felt a bit less like a cosmic punching bag than yesterday. Will I do it every single day? Probably not. But next time I feel like the universe is throwing rocks? Yeah, I might dig out that notebook and open the window again. At least I got a clean desk out of it.
