My Process for Testing This Week’s Virgo Horoscope
So I came across this headline about Daniel Dowd’s weekly horoscope for Virgos and honestly, I just rolled my eyes at first. Like, another “lucky week” prediction? Gimme a break. But hey, curiosity got me. I thought, “Alright, fine. Let’s take this for a spin and see if anything sticks.” No expectations, just gonna track it.
First thing Monday morning, I dragged myself to the kitchen. Coffee maker hissed at me like usual. Read the part where it said “fortune favors the prepared” for Virgos this week. Okay, sure. I decided to actually plan my workday instead of jumping headfirst into emails. Made a freakin’ list! Crossed off tasks one by one. Felt kinda… organized? Weird for me. Didn’t magically finish everything, but my boss actually grunted “good job” at something. Small win.
Wednesday rolled around. The horoscope mumbled something about “communication breakthroughs.” Had this tough client call scheduled – been dreading it for days. Voice mail tag, the usual mess. But this time? Took a breath before dialing, actually listened instead of waiting to talk. Ended up finding a middle ground nobody screamed about. Not fireworks, but hey… smoother than usual.
Then came Friday. Apparently, Virgos should “lean into creativity”? Laughed at that one. My creativity usually involves burnt toast. But weirdly, felt this itch to fix my ugly garden bench. Stopped at some roadside stall on a whim, bought cheap paint. Slapped it on after work. Looks awful, honestly. Colors clash like crazy. But you know what? I actually smiled doing it. Felt stupidly relaxed. Didn’t overthink the stupid brushstrokes.
So the big question: Was this week “lucky”? Nah. Got stuck in traffic Tuesday, spilled coffee Thursday, found cat vomit Saturday morning.
But the horoscope thing? Here’s what happened:
- Planning stuff ahead did cut the panic feeling.
- That client call went less painfully than feared.
- Making something ugly felt kinda good.
Not magic stars. Just… maybe poking me to try little things different. Still wouldn’t bet my paycheck on next week’s prediction though. Coffee machine hissing agrees.
