Okay so last Thursday I just grabbed my coffee – okay fine, my third coffee – and fired up Elle’s site, looking for that Virgo monthly forecast. You know how it is, needing a little heads-up for the chaos. The title screamed “Key Predictions This Month!” and as a Virgo, obviously I needed to plan for those predictions. Like, immediately.
Digging In & Actually Trying to Follow It
Right off the bat, the health stuff jumped out. Elle basically said “Slow down and actually eat properly, you workaholic mess.” Oof. Truth bomb. My usual routine? Coffee = breakfast, lunch sometimes happens at 3 PM. So, my Virgo-brain kicked into high gear. I grabbed my bullet journal (yes, colour-coded, don’t judge) and declared I would meal prep.
Here’s what that actually looked like:
- Sunday afternoon: Spent way too long on Pinterest finding “quick, healthy meals.”
- Drove to the store, bought way too much spinach and quinoa.
- Got home, stared at the groceries… and ordered pizza. Virgo intention, Taurus execution?
- Actual achievement: Made ONE container of overnight oats. Progress? Maybe?
Elle also flagged “attention to detail at work brings rewards.” Okay, my desk usually looks like a paper tornado hit it. Challenge accepted! I spent a solid two hours on Monday organizing:
- Sorted papers into “Urgent,” “Why Do I Still Have This?,” and “Shred Immediately.”
- Color-coded my sticky notes (blue for work, green for personal, pink for “DEADLINES OMG”).
- Felt smug for exactly… one day. By Wednesday, the “Urgent” pile was migrating back to the danger zone. But hey, for a hot minute, it was glorious. Did I get recognized? Not yet. Do I feel slightly less chaotic? Maybe 5%.
The Relationship Vibes & Reality Check
Then came the bit about communication. Elle said something like “Meaningful conversations deepen bonds”. My usual mode? Texts consisting of emojis and “Ugh, busy rn.” So, I decided to be Present™. Called my best friend instead of texting.
How that played out:
- Me: “Hey! Just calling to chat! What’s up?” (Feeling very Elle-approved).
- Her: “… Are you dying? You NEVER call. What’s wrong?”
We laughed hysterically for 10 minutes about how me following astrology advice instantly triggered her disaster radar. Then we had a genuinely great catch-up. So, point to Elle! The prediction was right, but the implementation was hilariously awkward.
Wrapping Up This Month’s Astrology Experiment
So, did I perfectly embody the Elle Virgo predictions? Absolutely not. I’m still powered by coffee, my desk is fighting back, and ordering pizza over quinoa remains a strong possibility. But did it make me think about those areas? Yeah, definitely.
- The health nudge got me making one actual meal. Baby steps!
- The work organization gave me a fleeting sense of control (before reality hit).
- The communication push led to a genuinely good laugh and a real talk. Worth it.
Honestly, the biggest takeaway wasn’t some mystical guidance. It was using this as a weird little mirror – highlighting spots where I could maybe nudge myself in a less messy direction. Did the stars dictate it? Who knows. Did it make for a mildly chaotic, slightly self-improving month? Absolutely. Typical Virgo overthinking the horoscope? Probably that too.
