Okay so last month I saw everyone raving about Susan Miller’s horoscopes, especially for Virgos like me. Everyone said her monthly stuff was like a personal roadmap. I figured, what the heck, let’s actually try following it day by day and see if it really makes life smoother. Skeptical but curious, that was me.
Getting Started With The Plan
First thing I did when August’s forecast dropped? I grabbed my notebook – the physical one, not my phone, felt more intentional. Opened Susan’s Virgo section. Right off the bat, she mentioned the 3rd week was “money magic” time. Perfect timing because my car needed new tires, ugh. I literally wrote in big letters: MOVE ALL BILLING, BANKING, LOAN STUFF TO WEEK 3. Pushed scheduling those annoying calls right to those dates. Then I saw she flagged early August for paperwork and details. Fine. I dug out my messy tax folder I’d been ignoring for weeks and dumped it on my desk August 1st. No escaping it now.
Putting the Stars to Work
Week one rolled around, just like she said would be good for the boring admin stuff. So I sat down Monday morning, coffee strong, and actually attacked the tax pile. Filled out forms, filed receipts, sent emails. Got it done by Wednesday. Felt amazing to clear that mental clutter she told me was weighing me down.
Then I hit week two, where her forecast talked about career things heating up. I have this annual review I always stress about. Instead of winging it like usual, I actually blocked time on my calendar for two things:
- Bullet point what I did this year (so easy to forget wins!)
- Practice asking for that raise out loud, like actually talking to my mirror.
Felt silly rehearsing, but dang, when the review chat happened, I was way less nervous, sounded way more confident asking. Got a decent bump too.
The “Effortless” Part… Kinda
Cue week three, the “money magic” week. Scheduled the loan officer call, tackled credit card bills early, even renegotiated my phone plan. Everything money-related just… flowed smoother? Less hold music purgatory anyway. One hiccup she didn’t predict – my kid got sick mid-week, threw off some plans. But because I’d already handled the big money tasks early in the week, it didn’t feel like everything imploded. Just handled the sick kid stress without the money stress piling on top.
The Verdict After a Full Cycle
So, did it magically solve everything? Nah. Life’s still messy. But here’s the real kicker: using it as a prompt, a nudge, actually worked. Instead of drowning in a chaotic to-do list, her forecast gave me loose themes for different weeks. I batch similar tasks together during those “good” times she suggests. Ended the month feeling less scattered than usual. Paperwork pile? Gone. Pay raise? Check. Expensive car stuff? Didn’t wreck my budget. It didn’t make things effortless, but it definitely helped me plan smarter and handle chaos better. Worth following again? Heck yeah. Already checking for September’s predictions.
