Alright, so today was all about trying out that monthly Virgo horoscope thing from Indastro. Saw the title promising a boost in work and relationships, and honestly, things have been kinda… meh? on both fronts lately. Figured, why not give it a shot, right? Worst case, nothing changes.
Starting Simple: The Work Stuff
First thing this morning, I grabbed my usual planner. The Virgo tip said something about “structured focus” being key this month. Felt basic, but okay. So, instead of jumping straight into emails like I always do, which usually leads to chaos by 10 AM, I actually took ten minutes. Wrote down exactly the three most important things I needed to get done today. Didn’t let myself add more, even when my brain tried shouting about ten other “urgent” tasks.
- Broke down task #1: It was drafting a report. Instead of staring at a blank screen, I wrote bullet points for each section first. Weirdly, made it less scary.
- Actually scheduled focus time: Blocked out an hour on my calendar just for task #1. Put my phone on silent and everything. Normally hate doing that.
- Checked in with a specific colleague: The horoscope mentioned “collaboration sparks opportunity.” There’s this person I usually avoid because our styles clash, but I forced myself to ask them a direct question about a project. Kept it short and goal-oriented.
Felt rigid, almost unnatural at first. Like putting training wheels back on my workflow. But by lunch? Report draft was done way faster than usual. And that colleague? Turns out they had a useful insight I hadn’t thought of. Small win, but it counted.
Now, The Tricky Part: Relationships
Virgo suggestion was “practice clear communication with compassion.” Sounds nice, but my default is either too blunt or overthinking into silence. How do you even “practice” that?
Okay, decided to pick one interaction. My partner seemed stressed about something last night, brushed it off when I asked. Usual move: Drop it, assume they’ll talk later. But following the “clear + compassionate” idea felt like it needed action.
So, after work, instead of just asking “how was your day?”, I tried: “Hey, noticed you seemed kinda off about the [thing they mentioned briefly]. Wanna vent about it, or is there something small I could do to help? No pressure.” Kept it simple, specific about what I observed, and offered a concrete out (“no pressure”).
They actually talked. It wasn’t earth-shattering, just some work stuff they felt stuck on. Listened without jumping in with solutions (Virgo struggle is real!). Just said “Man, that sucks, sounds frustrating.” And you know what? They actually looked relieved. Didn’t fix the problem, but the atmosphere just… softened? Didn’t need to be a big emotional event.
Did the Sky Magically Open?
Nope, no lottery win or declaration of undying love. But was today smoother than the last few weeks? Honestly, yes.
- Work felt less chaotic. Knocked out that big task.
- The interaction at home felt… warmer? More connected?
- Felt more in control of the little things, less like stuff was just happening TO me.
Maybe coincidence? Maybe just applying some basic focus and slightly better communication helps regardless. But looking at the Indastro tips as little practical nudges rather than magic spells actually made them doable. Gonna keep an eye on this “structured focus” thing at work this week and see if it holds up. And maybe practice that “clear but kind” question thing once more – baby steps.
