So last night I was scrolling through astrology forums, right? Saw people begging for free Virgo monthly guides. Thought to myself – heck, why not try building one? Grabbed my coffee and fired up the laptop around midnight.
Step one: Finding Raw Data
First I googled “Virgo monthly planetary transits” – total mess. Random sites wanted payments or subscriptions. Got stuck for like 20 minutes closing pop-up ads. Finally found some old astronomy forums with plain text interpretations. Copied-pasted everything into a draft doc. Looked like scrambled eggs with emojis. 🤯
Step two: Filtering the Chaos
Started deleting fluff like:
- “Venusian energies shall sparkle your aura” – no clue what that means
- Ads for crystal shops (seriously?)
- Random CAPS LOCK sentences about “COSMIC DESTINY” 🚫
Kept the practical stuff: Mercury retro dates, moon phases affecting Virgo, career/work tips. Took three passes before it read like actual advice.
Step three: Formatting Disaster
Tried auto-generating a fancy PDF. Big mistake. The formatting went:
- Paragraphs overlapped
- Fonts changed size randomly
- Zodiac symbols became question marks ❓❓❓
Ended up rebuilding it manually in a text editor. Pasted symbols one by one like some medieval scribe. Took ages.
Last Minute Panic
Double-checked dates at 2AM. Realized I’d mixed July and August transits. Nearly threw coffee at the screen. Fixed the dates, added clear headers:
Career / Relationships / Health
Proofread while half-asleep – probably missed typos but hey, it’s free.
Posted it just now with a disclaimer: “Made by a sleep-deprived human, not a cosmic guru.” Already got three comments asking about Gemini predictions. Might need stronger coffee tomorrow.
