Okay so yesterday I sat down to actually make a Virgo monthly guide – like a real one, not just copy-pasted generic stuff. Wanted something useful for Virgos this month, you know?
Started With What I Knew
First thing? Looked back at my OWN notes from last month. What messed me up? What worked? I scribbled all that nonsense down in my ratty notebook:
- Total brain chaos with work deadlines overlapping stupidly
- Felt like I was spinning 100 plates but half were cracking
- Kept overthinking tiny stuff – like, really obsessing over typos in casual texts (yikes)
Then I Dug Into Old Patterns
Grabbed last year’s planner (yeah, I keep ’em). Flipped to September pages. Saw a repeating theme:
- Always felt overwhelmed week 2 and 3 – appointments slammed together
- Money stress popped up around the 18th-ish every dang time
- Surprise arguments with my sister? Every. Single. Year. Late in the month.
Weird, right? Patterns don’t lie. I circled those dates HARD.
Adding Star Stuff Without Going Woo-Woo
Look, I’m not into crystal healing or chanting. But Mercury retrograde? Yeah, that messes with Virgo brains EVERY time. Checked an astronomy app (not astrology!) – Mercury’s wobbling backwards mid-month. Made a note: “Expect tech fails, double-check ALL details Sept 12-28.” Practical. Not magical.
Putting the Puzzle Together
Stared at my wall of sticky notes like a detective. Saw the main headaches:
- Chaos peaks mid-month
- Money needs watching around payday
- Family tension? High alert last week
So I wrote the guide around THAT. No fluffy “good fortune comes your way!” garbage. Just:
- Block Sept 14-20 for focused work ONLY. Cancel optional stuff.
- Check bank balance on the 15th. Set a damn reminder.
- Text sister on the 25th with pizza emojis. Pre-empt the drama.
Test Drove It First
Sent this to my Virgo buddy Sarah last night. She texted today: “HOW did you know my laptop would die TODAY?” Because Mercury, girl. And patterns. Finished the guide with actual fixes – backup drives, extra coffee money budget, breathing exercises for when Aunt Karen complains.
Felt good making something that might actually help. Unlike those vague horoscopes that sound smart but mean nothing. Virgos deserve better.
