Alright folks, grab a coffee ’cause I actually dug out my old Virgo 2015 monthly forecast printout this week. Crazy, right? Felt like unearthing ancient treasure. Wanted to see if those old astro tips still held any water, or if it was just collecting dust. Here’s exactly what I did, warts and all.
Starting With The Paper Stack
First thing, I pulled the damn thing off the shelf. Was basically a stack of papers I’d printed ages ago, looking sad and forgotten. Had sections for each month, all fancy with planetary positions and moody phrases. Didn’t mean squat at first glance – total gibberish.
The Headache Phase
Sat down at my desk, scratched my head. Flipped pages randomly, zero plan. Felt pointless. Words like “Mercury Retrograde” popped up – knew it meant communication chaos from past messes. But February 2015? Didn’t remember squat. Total headache.
Gave up after five minutes. Walked away, made tea. Came back with fresh eyes. Decided not to jump around. Started dead simple: turned to January 2015.
My “Lightbulb” Method
Figured I’d treat it like diary prompts. Grabbed my actual journal from that year – the paper one I barely use now. Searched for January entries. Boom. Found a whiny note about an argument with my sister around Jan 15th. Flipped back to the forecast.
Checked the January section, squinted at the tiny dates. Sure enough, right around mid-Jan, it warned: “Venus opposing Mars increases tension with female relatives. Choose words carefully.”
No lie, my jaw dropped a little. That useless pile suddenly made freaking sense.
Testing It Out Step-By-Step
Okay, got excited now. Here’s how I tackled the rest systematically:
- Month-by-month crawl: Went to February next. Forecast mentioned “career uncertainties.” My journal? Big rant about hating my job Feb 10th. Eerie match.
- Highlighted keywords: Any mention of planets affecting “communication,” “finances,” or “relationships”? Grabbed a yellow marker. Made those suckers pop on the page.
- Compared personal dates: Cross-referenced forecast “high-alert” days with my calendar/journal entries. Not every prediction hit, but maybe 70% felt strangely accurate for big moods or events.
- Looked for patterns: Noticed Mars was messing things up for me A LOT in spring 2015 according to the forecasts. Checked my journal – spring 2015 WAS pure chaos with work deadlines and travel disasters. Pattern confirmed.
Why I’m Still Using This Old Thing
So yeah, it’s not magic. It didn’t predict lottery numbers. But used like a weird, cosmic journaling prompt? Gold. Helps me spot times I was stressed or impulsive in the past – see if I made the same mistakes. Now I flick to the current month’s old prediction for kicks. If it mentions “financial caution needed,” maybe I double-check my budget that week. No harm done.
Biggest takeaway? Don’t take it literal. Treat it like mood weather forecasting. Grain of salt required, but damn, spotting those patterns in my own past messes? Priceless self-reflection tool. Dust yours off. You might surprise yourself.
