Why I Even Bothered Testing This Horoscope Thing
So I kept seeing these John Hayes Virgo horoscope ads popping up everywhere – YouTube, news sites, even between TikTok dances. Said it gave “unbelievably accurate” monthly insights. Yeah right, I thought. Total scam, probably. But then I got curious. How bad could it be? Might be funny. Decided to put it to the test myself.
How I Ran My Little Experiment
Here’s what I did, step-by-step:
- Step 1: Dug up the current month’s Virgo prediction on his site. Took screenshots.
- Step 2: Printed it out. Yep, old-school paper. Stuck it on my fridge next to the grocery list.
- Step 3: Made a daily diary note in my phone labeled “Horoscope Check-in.” Just a quick few words every night before bed – did anything vaguely match the predictions that day? Yeah, no.
- Step 4: Kept at it. Whole damn month. Even on those boring Tuesday evenings after work when scrolling memes sounded better.
- Step 5: Sat down yesterday with the printed horoscope on one side and my month’s worth of phone notes on the other. Time for a showdown.
The Ugly Truth I Uncovered
Okay, findings time. Let’s be real:
- The “Career Boost” Hype: Predicted a “major work opportunity” around mid-month. My highlight? Boss approving my vacation days. Feels like a stretch, folks. Barely.
- That “Fateful Romance” Nonsense: Talked about a “passionate encounter” around week three. Reality check? Got set up on a blind date by my aunt. Dude spent an hour talking about his pet lizard. Romance? Passion? Hard pass.
- Financial Windfall Wish: Hinted at unexpected cash. My big win? Found a tenner in an old coat pocket. Free lunch, I guess?
Most predictions were crazy vague – stuff like “pay attention to communication” or “be open to surprises.” Seriously? That could fit almost any boring Tuesday where an email popped up or the coffee machine surprised you by actually working.
My Final, Brutally Honest Verdict
Was the Virgo forecast unbelievably accurate like the ads screamed? Absolutely the hell not. It mostly felt like throwing generic advice spaghetti at the wall, hoping something would stick. Maybe if you squint real hard and really, really want to believe, you could force a connection.
Worth buying? Nope. Not for me. My ten bucks would be happier buying actual coffee. Running the test was kinda fun though – definitely confirmed my hunch that these things are mostly fluff.
