Okay so my Virgo buddies, this week’s horoscope said we need to “boost luck” and apparently decluttering and helping others are key. Right? Figured I’d actually try doing what it says, step-by-step. Like a real-life experiment, no sugarcoating.
The Setup: My Disaster Zone
First thing this morning, grabbed my coffee and opened the ELLE email. It basically yelled at me: “Virgos! Clean your space and assist someone – luck coming your way!” Felt kinda pushed, you know? My desk looked like a bomb went off – papers, empty mugs, chargers tripping me up. Definitely “cluttered energy” right there. So, mission accepted: Operation Declutter & Help.
Phase One: The Declutter Battle
Started with the damn desk. Wasn’t pretty.
- Grabbed a bin bag first. Shoved all obvious trash in – old receipts, crumpled sticky notes, that sad, stale muffin wrapper. Felt good instantly, like shedding dead weight.
- Fought with the paper monster next. Sorted into piles: “File” (boring bills), “Shred” (stuff with my address), and “Why Do I Even Have This?” (mostly junk mail). Took way longer than I thought.
- Wiped everything down. Dust bunnies big enough to have names gone. Shoved random pens and crap into a mug instead of letting them roam free.
End result? Desk usable again. Didn’t find any hidden cash, but hey, space to breathe. Scratched head. Does a clean desk = luck? Dunno yet, but it feels less stressful for sure.
Phase Two: The Helping Hand (Almost Got Smacked)
Right, the “help someone” part. Needed to keep this Virgo energy flowing, right? Walked downstairs to check the mail. Saw Mrs. Henderson, my neighbour, struggling HARD trying to haul her wheeled trash bin up her driveway. The wheel was totally jammed sideways. Kismet! Or at least, the horoscope was psychic.
- Waved and called out, “Hey Mrs. H! Looks stuck?”
- Jogged over (feeling helpful!). She was stressed out, sweating. We tilted the bin, yanked at the wheel – wouldn’t budge.
- Ended up basically dragging the whole heavy thing up for her. Seriously, what do they put in there? Bricks? Got it to the top. She was super grateful, kept thanking me. Felt good to actually do something.
Thought to myself: “Okay horoscope, points for making me help. Luck better be waiting.”
The Verdict: Luck or… Just Tuesday?
So, did the luck thing work? Hard to say right? Didn’t win the lottery. But here’s what happened:
- Got an email back super fast about a project I was waiting on. Normally they take ages!
- Found my favourite pair of lost earrings behind the desk drawer after cleaning. Small win!
- That coffee this morning? Didn’t spill it on me. Usually, I’m a hazard.
No huge, dramatic “luck” explosion. But honestly, the day felt… smoother? Less stuff went wrong. The desk clarity helped me focus. Helping Mrs. H felt nice, karma-wise. Maybe boosting luck isn’t magic, it’s just removing crap weighing you down and putting out some good vibes? Less friction = things flow better? I’ll take it.
Stressed out yesterday? Yeah. Today felt lighter. Cleaned my space, helped someone out, kinda worked. Might just keep this going, see what next week says. Virgos, try it – worst case, your desk is cleaner!
