Finding That Virgo Horoscope
So this morning I grabbed my phone like always during breakfast. Scrolled through notifications and saw GaneshaSpeaks monthly horoscope email. The subject line shouted “Virgo Monthly Horoscope: What’s the Biggest Surprise Revealed?” Got me curious right away since I’m born in September. Clicked that thing open before I even finished my toast.
Skimming Through the Predictions
Started reading while chewing. First section was career stuff – blah blah work deadlines. Then relationships – said I should “communicate better.” Groundbreaking stuff, seriously. But halfway down, I almost choked on my coffee. The “big surprise” section said Virgos would unexpectedly reconnect with someone from the past this month.
My brain went:
- “Okay, which ex is this gonna be?”
- “Hope it’s not Dave from accounting”
- “Maybe that college friend I ghosted?”
Testing the Prediction
Decided to test this horoscope thing properly. First, I went through my contacts and messaged three old friends:
- Sent Marco a dumb meme about our camping disaster
- Asked Priya if she still has my vintage Star Wars DVD
- Texted my cousin about his mom’s lasagna recipe
Felt awkward as hell. Like fishing with no bait. Put my phone down thinking “well that was pointless.”
The Actual Surprise
Two days later, I’m fixing my leaky kitchen sink when my doorbell rings. It’s my old neighbor Mrs. Henderson holding Tupperware. Says “heard you asked about my lasagna” – turns out my cousin told her! We ended up drinking tea for hours talking about her grandkids and my broken sink.
Absolute plot twist. Was expecting some dramatic ex confrontation, not a sweet 70-year-old lady with pasta. The horoscope got it right but in the weirdest way possible.
What I Learned
Now I’m sitting here thinking:
- Horoscopes are like weather forecasts – sometimes weirdly accurate but never exact
- Reconnecting doesn’t always mean big emotional drama
- Should probably return Mrs. Henderson’s damn containers
Still don’t fully believe in astrology, but that lasagna was fire. Might actually read next month’s update.
