So My Virgo Career Horoscope for March 2025 Came Out…
Okay, saw that Virgo career horoscope for next March buzzing around. Honestly? Skeptical. Always kinda felt horoscopes are just vague guesses. But hey, feeling stuck in my current gig lately, so I thought, “What the heck? Might as well peek.”
Here’s exactly what I did with that horoscope advice, step-by-step, like any dumb experiment I try:
Phase 1: Actually Reading The Thing & Picking Bits
Clicked the headline. Skimmed it real fast. Usual stuff: “opportunities,” “hard work pays off,” blah blah. One bit jumped out: “March 5th-15th crucial for networking.” Sounded oddly specific. Figured, fine, that’s the piece I’ll test. Focused only on that part. Ignored the rest.
Phase 2: The “Networking” Plan I Actually Executed (No Fluff)
Decided to get dead simple. Didn’t aim for some conference I hate. Here’s the real, slightly lazy plan:
- Updated My Crusty LinkedIn: Seriously, picture was from like 2021. Added that dumb certification I got last year I kept forgetting about.
- Reached Out to 3 Real People: Not just “Connect” button spam. Three ex-colleagues I actually liked working with. Literally texted: “Hey [Name], been a minute! How’s stuff at [Their Company]? Curious about what you guys are working on.” Short, sweet, genuine curiosity.
- Went to ONE Industry Meetup: Just one. Dragged myself there after work on March 7th. My goal wasn’t even jobs. It was: Have two actual conversations. Not “network,” just talk to two people about their work.
That was my whole “networking” effort between March 5th and 15th. Minimalist, right? Figured if nothing happened, I wouldn’t be mad I wasted weeks.
Phase 3: What Actually Went Down (No Fairy Tales)
Expected maybe a like on LinkedIn, a polite reply text. Crickets mostly. Reality was messier:
- LinkedIn: Got a few random recruiter connection requests after the update. Ignored the generic ones.
- The Texts: One ex-colleague ghosted (fair). One replied with “Good, busy!” (dead end). The third? Actually engaged. Said stuff was chaotic but interesting. Mentioned offhand their team might need help later this year on a project vaguely related to my skills. No open role.
- The Meetup: Almost left after 10 minutes. Felt awkward. Finally talked to one guy about his project. It was… meh. Then bumped into someone I knew from a job three jobs ago! We got coffee. Talked trash about old bosses, shared frustrations. Zero job talk. Just real talk. She mentioned she heard a startup was looking for someone like me… but it was a rumor.
Felt kinda pointless by March 16th. Just had some slightly warmer connections, nothing concrete. Put the horoscope out of my mind.
The Unexpected Punchline
Then, mid-April, weird thing happened.
The ex-colleague who texted back (about the potential project need)? Hit me up again. “Remember that project? Manager’s pushing for approval to hire a contractor starting June. You interested? Need someone who gets [specific thing I do].”
Not a guaranteed job. A contract possibility. But directly from that one text I sent during that “crucial” horoscope window.
And that startup rumor from the coffee chat? Also semi-materialized by late April. They’re interviewing now.
So here’s the messy truth takeaway:
- The horoscope didn’t give me a job.
- That “crucial networking window” crap? Was it magic? Nope.
- What it did do was give me a stupid, specific deadline to do a few small, tangible things.
It forced my hesitant Virgo self to actually poke my head up from my current rut during that specific time. Sent texts I otherwise would have postponed “until things calmed down.” Went to an event I’d normally skip.
The results weren’t instant fairy dust. They were delayed, messy possibilities sparked by simple actions I took within that timeframe the stars apparently highlighted. Take that as you will. Did the horoscope work? Kinda. Did I work? Yeah, a tiny bit. And that’s the usable part.
