Starting My Virgo Compatibility Quest
Back in early 2017, I got super into improving relationships with Virgos after my sister’s Virgo boyfriend kept nitpicking about our messy family dinners. Grabbed my astrology apps and dusty zodiac books, planning to test all those “boost compatibility” tips floating around. Figured I’d track results like some kinda social experiment.
Implementing Those Astrology Hacks
First thing I tried was timing conversations during Virgo’s ruling planet Mercury hours – basically before lunch on Wednesdays. Scheduled grocery chats with my Virgo neighbor exactly at 10:30am. Worked twice then backfired when she lectured me for buying non-organic apples.
Next, I reorganized my entire workspace cause articles said Virgos dig order. Shoved all cables into color-coded bins, alphabetized spice jars, even ironed my bedsheets. When my Virgo coworker visited, he just pointed at crooked picture frames. Felt like failing a pop quiz.
- Virgo-Appreciation Journal (total flop): Wrote daily notes like “John didn’t criticize coffee today” – he saw it open on my desk and called it “emotional clutter”
- Offering Practical Help (moderate win): Fixed his phone’s cracked screen instead of giving birthday fluff gifts – got rare half-smile
- Overdoing Perfection (disaster): Spent 4 hours prepping immaculate charcuterie board for Virgo friend’s party – she complained about “improper cheese temperature”
Epic Failures & Reality Checks
Mid-year I started tracking Virgo reactions on sticky notes. Red for negative (got 37), yellow for neutral (52), green for positive (11). Big revelation? Most green notes happened when I ignored astrology tips completely. Like when I forgot Mercury retrograde warnings and scheduled crucial meeting – Virgo client loved my raw honesty about project delays.
September was breaking point. Tried recommended communication technique called “pre-emptive critique” where you criticize yourself before they can. Told Virgo gym buddy “My lifting form sucks today” mid-workout. He just shrugged: “Yeah, noticed that 20 minutes ago.” Felt dumber than failed bench press attempt.
Final Conclusions
By November, realized trying to “hack” compatibility made me act weirdly. Virgos smell inauthenticity like expired milk. Stopped all experiments cold turkey. Funny thing? When I showed my messy spice cabinet to neighbor Virgo while making soup, she actually laughed and helped reorganize – without any planetary timing. Sometimes just asking “Wanna help fix this?” works better than all the damn zodiac charts in the world.
