The Absolute Mess That Led Me to the 2015 Virgo Charts
You know, people always ask how I got into tracking my major life moves against something as ridiculous as monthly astrology charts. Well, let me tell you, it wasn’t some spiritual awakening. It was sheer desperation and a whole lot of spite.
Back in late 2014, I was absolutely miserable. I was stuck at a firm where the boss was a complete nightmare—micromanaging every breath we took. I mean, he’d literally stand over my shoulder watching me draft emails. I knew I had to bail, but I was sweating bullets about jumping ship without a clear plan. My bank account was thin, and the market felt iffy.
I started plotting my escape, right? I was secretly interviewing, but everything felt sluggish and wrong. I was so stressed out I couldn’t sleep. One rainy Sunday, I was clearing out a box of junk and I found this ancient, half-torn paperback my grandmother used to read—a 2014 yearly astrology guide. I scoffed at it, but then I thought, “What if I just… looked ahead?”
This curiosity sucked me in. I started digging online, trying to find accurate (or at least coherent) 2015 monthly Virgo career forecasts. I wasn’t looking for enlightenment; I was looking for a sign to stop dragging my feet. The moment I identified the “peak performance” windows, I decided to treat the charts like a tactical military schedule. If the stars said “Go time,” I was going, regardless of how terrified I felt.
Mapping the “Boom Months”: My Tracking Process
The first thing I did was grabbed a massive whiteboard and divided 2015 into twelve columns. I pulled data from three different sources—a serious-looking horoscope site, a very hippie blog, and the old paperback—and looked for the overlapping themes. I specifically focused on keywords like “negotiation success,” “recognition,” “expansion,” and “financial opportunity.”
Here’s what the charts kept promising for success:
- March: The Networking Catalyst. Supposedly great for making contacts that pay off later.
- June: The Visibility Push. Good for launching projects or seeking public acknowledgement.
- October: The Power Play Window. Best time to demand raises or pivot roles.
Once I had those three months highlighted in angry red marker, I forced myself to schedule all my scariest career activities into those windows. If a date fell outside the ‘boom,’ I mentally categorized it as ‘maintenance’ time.
What I Actually Did During the “Top Months”
March 2015: The Uncomfortable Push
The charts claimed March was prime time for meeting people who mattered. I am an introvert, so this was torture. I made a list of five industry meetups I had been avoiding for months. I attended three of them. I hated every minute of the small talk, but I pushed through. During the third meetup, I bumped into an old colleague who had started his own small consulting firm. We just chatted casually, nothing serious. The charts didn’t deliver a check, they just got me off the couch and into the room where the opportunity eventually lived.
June 2015: Firing the Big Shot
June was supposed to be the “Visibility Push.” At my horrible old job, I had been secretly developing an internal tool that streamlined our reporting process—a project they had told me was “too complicated.” In early June, I walked in and showed the CEO (bypassing my miserable boss) the finished product. I was shaking. The CEO looked impressed, but my boss was furious. The chart didn’t magically grant me a promotion; instead, it accelerated the conflict. By the end of June, the tension was so thick I knew staying was impossible. The chart helped me pull the trigger on the inevitable.
October 2015: The Final Power Play
This was the big one: “Power Play Window.” Earlier in the year, that consultant I met in March had reached out, needing part-time help. By October, I was ready to leave my full-time job. I marched into HR—not to resign yet, but to demand the salary and responsibilities I deserved, based on the June tool launch. I laid out my case, demanding a significant raise and a title change. They shut me down immediately. They said my demands were out of line. I didn’t get the raise, but in that moment, I knew. That rejection freed me completely. Two days later, I put in my notice, accepted the consultant’s offer, and started the process of turning that gig into my own full-time venture.
Did the Stars Actually Work?
Looking back at the 2015 charts and my frantic tracking, here’s the cold truth: the stars didn’t magically create the opportunities or stop my boss from being a jerk. The career boom wasn’t delivered on a silver platter.
However, that ridiculous experiment provided the schedule. It gave me permission to be aggressive and take massive risks during specific, planned times. If the chart said March was good for networking, I couldn’t postpone it. I had to act.
That structured urgency forced me out of my comfort zone right when I needed it most. That little paperback and those sketchy online charts weren’t fortune telling; they were simply a very effective deadline system that compelled an anxious, stuck person to make necessary moves. By the time 2016 rolled around, I was completely self-employed, making more money than I ever did at that awful firm. Sometimes, all you need is a weird schedule to stop thinking and start doing.
