Getting Started
Alright so first things first, I pulled out my big astrology planner and my dusty ephemeris charts last Monday morning. Grabbed coffee, scratched my head thinking “where do I even start with Virgo’s December dates?”
Remembered my buddy Kevin – total astronomy nerd – pinged him around 10AM like “yo need planetary positions for next month ASAP!” Dude sent over NASA’s public databases faster than I could type “thank you”.
The Grind Part
Started flipping through last year’s December notes searching for patterns because Virgos hate surprises. Mercury retrograde messed everything up back then! Spotted Venus transitions affecting money stuff too.
Cross-checked five different sources:
- Old handwritten journals from 2023
- My astro mentor’s moon phase tweets
- Free planetary calculators online
- That podcast episode about Saturn returns
- Even dug up farmers’ almanac moon dates
Lightbulb Moments
Suddenly realized December 8th kept popping up everywhere! Jupiter shifts making it prime time for career moves. Almost missed it because holidays distracted me. Added three exclamation points in my draft.
Kept stumbling over vacation blackouts (never schedule meetings during winter solstice!) and Mercury’s shadow period. Highlighted those dates bright yellow so no Virgo misses the warnings.
Final Polish
Thursday night I’m staring at my messy spreadsheet going “this looks like chicken scratches”. Reorganized everything by:
- Love & relationship peaks
- Financial danger zones
- Can’t-miss manifestation windows
- Social minefields
Added moon emojis because people remember symbols better than words. Triple-checked time zones – almost screwed up GMT conversions like last time!
Finally hit publish this morning while chewing stress gum. Still finding ink stains on my pinky from all the writing. But hey, at least Virgos won’t get blindsided next month!
