Okay so this morning I grabbed my phone like always, scrolled through notifications, and saw the daily horoscope alert. Today’s title jumped out: Daily Virgo Love Horoscope: What to Expect in Your Relationships Now. Honestly? Sometimes this stuff feels like fluff, but hey, I’m trying to be open lately. Decided to actually read it properly today and see if it meant squat for my Tuesday.
Opening The Damn Thing
Clicked the notification. Took me straight to the astrology app I downloaded ages ago and barely use. The Virgo section was right there. Started reading:
- “Expect subtle shifts…” – Vague much? Okay.
- “Communication needs clarity, Virgo.” – Well, duh. When doesn’t it?
- “A touch of mystery could intrigue your partner.” – Mysterious? Me? I just told Dave I needed more TP. Mysterious gone.
- “Past patterns might resurface… handle with understanding.” – Cue the eye roll. Patterns? Like him forgetting the milk?
Thought, “Right, so basically talk clearly, don’t be boring, be nice about old arguments. Groundbreaking.” Felt kinda meh, but committed to actually giving it a whirl.
Trying To Apply The Wisdom
Had my coffee, Dave was eating cereal. Usually I’d launch into the shopping list. Remembered the “clear communication” thing. Instead of barking “We need milk!”, I took a breath. Said, “Hey Dave, just checked the fridge – we’re totally out of milk. Could you maybe grab some on your way home later? Pretty please?” Made an effort to sound light, not annoyed. He actually looked up from his phone! Nodded and said, “Yeah, got it.” Minor victory? Felt less naggy.
Later, during lunch break texting. Normally I just send “What u up to?” or something equally thrilling. Recalled the “mystery” bit. Sent: “Found something weirdly fascinating today… more later ;)”. Complete nonsense – the “fascinating” thing was a really efficient spreadsheet formula. But Dave replied instantly: “Huh? What? Tell me!” Okay, points for intrigue. Cheap thrills work.
Watching For “Subtle Shifts”
Kept half an eye out all day. Nothing magical happened. No angels sang. Dave came home with the milk and remembered the bread I didn’t even ask for. Small win? Maybe. Dinner prep was smoother than usual, less sighing from either side. Talked about the dumb mystery text, had a laugh about it. Felt… calmer? Less edge? Who knows. Maybe it was the horoscope, maybe it was the decent coffee.
Final Thoughts Before Bed
Look. Did my stars predict Dave miraculously surprising me with a weekend getaway? Heck no. Did some planetary alignment fix the leaky tap? Absolutely not. But reading that thing made me think about how I usually interact first thing and later in the day. Trying to communicate clearly at breakfast felt less tense. Being deliberately a tiny bit playful over text broke the monotony. So yeah, maybe it nudged me to act slightly different, and maybe that made the usual stuff feel a tiny bit lighter. Is it magic? Nah. Is it some profound cosmic wisdom? Doubt it. But as a tiny kick in the pants to try behaving a tiny bit differently in my boring old relationship? Well… I guess it kinda worked today. We’ll see what tomorrow’s “profound insights” bring. Probably more stuff about clear communication.
