Back in 2018, I was really into astrology, especially curious about Virgo’s money horoscope. I’m a Virgo myself, and I was looking for ways to make more money that year. So, I started my exploration.
Step 1: Researching the Horoscope
I first went to those astrology websites. Spent hours scrolling through pages, reading what the astrologers said about Virgo’s money luck in 2018. They said Virgos were likely to have some good opportunities in the second half of the year, but we needed to be careful with our spending in the first half. I took notes, like a student preparing for an exam. I wanted to know every detail about what might come my way money – wise.
Step 2: Budgeting
Based on what I read, I decided to start budgeting. I took out a pen and paper (old – school style) and wrote down all my income and expenses. I cut down on unnecessary stuff, like those fancy coffee shop lattes. Instead of buying a $5 latte every day, I made coffee at home. I also made a rule for myself: no impulse buying. If I saw something I wanted, I’d wait for a week. Most of the time, after a week, I didn’t want it anymore. This way, I was able to save a good amount of money in the first half of the year.
Step 3: Exploring Side Hustles
As the second half of the year approached, I started looking for side hustles. I remembered the horoscope said there would be good opportunities. I signed up for some online survey websites. It was a bit boring at first, answering all those questions, but I got a few bucks here and there. Then, I noticed there was a demand for people to do some simple graphic design work on a local freelance platform. I’m not a professional designer, but I knew how to use some basic design tools. So, I offered my services at a low price. At first, I got only small jobs, like making a simple flyer for a local store. But as I got more positive reviews, I started getting bigger and better – paying jobs.
Results
By the end of 2018, I had actually made more money than I expected. The money I saved from budgeting and the extra income from side hustles really added up. I don’t know if it was really because of the Virgo money horoscope or just my own efforts, but it was a great experience. It taught me that with a bit of planning and hard work, we can improve our financial situation. Maybe astrology is just a little push, but it’s up to us to take action and make things happen.
