Man, June 2020. What a month, right? Everyone was just reeling from everything going on. I remember sitting there, feeling a bit lost myself, and then this idea just hit me: I gotta put something out there. Not just any old thing, but something specific, you know? Something for my Virgo buddies, or anyone who felt like they needed a bit of a compass.
So, I started digging. My old astrology books, they were gathering dust, but I pulled ’em out. I’m talking actual physical books, none of that online stuff initially. I wanted to feel the paper, see the worn edges. It was almost like a ritual. I’d grab my coffee, clear off a spot on the kitchen table, and just spread everything out.
Getting Down to Business: The Planetary Grind
First up, I had to figure out where all the planets were hanging out for June 2020. For Virgos, their ruler, Mercury, is always key. So, I grabbed my ephemeris – yeah, I still use one, call me old school – and started plotting. Where was Mercury? What sign was it in? What houses was it transiting for Virgos? That’s where the real work began, just mapping out the cosmic real estate.
- I looked at Mercury’s movement: Was it direct? Retrograde? Fast? Slow? All that stuff tells you a story about communication and thinking for Virgos.
- Then came Venus: Where was the love, the money, the pleasure aspect for them? Relationships were already feeling weird for everyone back then, so I knew this was important.
- Mars, the action planet: Where was the energy being directed? Was it a month for pushing forward, or hitting the brakes?
- Jupiter and Saturn: The big boys. These guys set the tone for bigger themes, growth, and challenges. I paid close attention to where they were parked and what houses they were activating.
- And the luminaries, the Sun and Moon: The Sun’s transit through different signs always gives a general monthly vibe, and the New and Full Moons? Those are your emotional turning points.
I’d sit there, just scribbling notes, drawing little circles and lines on scrap paper. It wasn’t pretty, believe me. More like a messy detective board trying to connect all the dots. I’d think about how these planetary energies would actually feel to a Virgo. Not just the abstract astrological meaning, but the practical, day-to-day impact. Like, if Mercury was doing X, what might a Virgo actually experience at work, or in their everyday chats?
Translating the Stars: Making Sense of it All
Once I had all my raw data, that’s when the real headache started. How do you take all these technical bits and pieces and turn them into something understandable, something helpful? Something that doesn’t sound like I’m just reading from a textbook? I needed to make it relatable, make it sound like I was just talking to a friend.
I started by outlining the major themes. Were there any big aspects or conjunctions that dominated the month? Was it a time for career focus? Relationships? Inner reflection? For June 2020, man, there was a lot of collective energy, a lot of weirdness, so I knew I had to address that general vibe while also homing in on the Virgo specifics.
I’d write a rough draft, just letting it flow. No self-censoring at that stage. If it sounded messy, fine. If a sentence was clunky, I’d worry about it later. The goal was just to get the ideas down. I tried to use words that felt normal, no fancy astrological jargon that would just make people scratch their heads. I wanted it to be accessible.
Then came the editing. Oh man, the editing. I’d read through it, maybe three or four times, trying to put myself in a Virgo’s shoes. Does this resonate? Is it too vague? Is it too specific? Does it offer hope and actionable advice without being preachy? That’s always the hardest part: giving a good push without sounding like I know everything.
I remember focusing a lot on communication and daily routines for Virgos that month, because Mercury was doing some interesting things. And also how they could find stability amidst all the chaos. I tried to suggest ways they could ground themselves, because everyone needed grounding then, especially Virgos who thrive on order.
Putting It Out There: The Final Push
Finally, when I felt like it was as good as I could get it, I formatted it a bit. Just simple paragraphs, maybe a few bullet points for easy scanning, a couple of bolded phrases to catch the eye. Nothing fancy, just clean and readable. I didn’t want the presentation to distract from the message.
And then, I just uploaded it to my little corner of the internet. Hit that publish button. Sent it out into the void, hoping it would find its way to someone who needed to hear it. It wasn’t about being perfect; it was about connecting, you know? About sharing a bit of light in a time that felt pretty dark for a lot of folks. That’s what it was all about for me, just putting that reading out there, hoping it landed right for someone out there who was navigating that wild June 2020.
