Is your `virgo career january 2020` promising money？ (Check these three lucky signs)

Man, let me take you back to January 2020. Everybody remembers that time, right? The world was just sitting on the edge of the cliff, and none of us knew it. For me, things were just messy, straight up messy. I was scraping the barrel after the holidays, staring at my bank account, and seeing less zeros than I really wanted. We’ve all been there, that post-Christmas debt hangover where every piece of junk mail looks like a bill.

I’m usually the guy who rolls his eyes at daily horoscopes. I’m a practical Virgo, I build things, I track data, I don’t read tea leaves. But desperation, dude, desperation makes you do funny stuff. I was scrolling one night, trying to avoid doing actual work, and I stumbled on this viral post. It was some crazy detailed thing about ‘Virgo Career January 2020’ and how it was supposed to be a massive money-making turning point. My immediate reaction was to laugh, but then I thought, what if I treat this like a weird A/B test? What if I force myself to look for these ‘lucky signs’?

I figured, what did I have to lose? I pulled up that garbage prediction—I remember it was split into three specific action points, framed as “signs” you needed to catch. I literally screenshotted the thing and decided I was going to try and manifest the cash by actively hunting for these three stupid indicators.

Here were the three things that post promised would unlock the money floodgates:

• The First Lucky Sign: The Unsolicited Email From an Old Acquaintance. This wasn’t about networking; it was specifically defined as someone you hadn’t spoken to in over a year, someone irrelevant to your current work.
• The Second Lucky Sign: A Required Purchase That Hurt. It said any investment or tool you bought that month that felt like a financial punch to the gut would return ten-fold. It had to make you physically wince when you hit ‘checkout.’
• The Third Lucky Sign: The Forgotten Corner. This one was the weirdest. It said money energy would be gathered in an ‘overlooked space’ in my home or work area. I had to physically clear it out and dedicate it to high-focus work.

I’m telling you, I felt ridiculous writing these down. But I committed. I started the experiment on January 3rd.

The first sign, the unsolicited email, took a minute. I couldn’t just sit and wait for it. The prediction said “unsolicited,” but I figured if I cast a wide enough net, I’d eventually trigger the right kind of response. I went through my old LinkedIn connections and picked the absolute worst people to chat with—people I’d worked with briefly five years ago who were now in completely different fields. I fired off about twenty personalized, casual “how you doing” messages over four days. It was awkward and embarrassing. I honestly thought I was going to get blocked.

Then, on the second Friday, it happened. Not an email, but a direct message from a guy I knew from a college club—a dude who moved into selling specialized farming equipment. We hadn’t spoken since 2017. He wrote back because he needed a new website built for one of his suppliers. He knew I did web work, didn’t know if I was still doing it, but figured he’d try. The job was small, but the pay rate was excellent because it was niche. I snagged it instantly. That was Sign One checked off. It brought in a solid five figures over the next three months.

The second sign, the painful purchase, was easier to trigger, but way harder to stomach. I had been needing a massive software upgrade for my design work. It was a package that cost nearly half my rent. I’d been pirating an old version, which was limiting, but paying was just… painful. But the post said ‘required purchase that hurt.’ I closed my eyes, hit the ‘buy now’ button, and instantly regretted it. I tracked the money leaving my account. I was a wreck. But here’s the kicker: having the legitimate, fully-featured software instantly unlocked two new, higher-paying client types that required the latest features. It didn’t just pay for itself; it fundamentally changed my service offering. That pain purchase became an asset.

The third sign, the forgotten corner, felt the most foolish. I looked around my little home office. The only truly ‘forgotten’ space was the little corner behind the door, full of old cables and empty boxes. I dragged everything out. I scrubbed the wall. I literally put a tiny card table there and declared it my ‘high-focus’ proposal writing zone. I spent two hours a day there, dedicated to only the most complex, highest-paying proposals. The cramped space somehow forced my focus. Within two weeks of using that weird corner, I landed the biggest contract of my career to date. The prediction was about ‘overlooked space,’ and by God, I cleaned one and put it to work.

I closed out January 2020 and looked back at the three ridiculous “signs.” Did the stars align? No. Did I suddenly win the lottery? Also no. But I categorized every new dollar that came in that month and the next, and I found a direct correlation to the specific actions those three signs forced me to take.

The biggest realization I had was this: the horoscope didn’t bring the money. The prediction was junk. What it did was give me an external, ridiculous, non-negotiable reason to break my routine. It made me contact scary old acquaintances, force myself to buy an expensive, needed tool, and create a new environment for my work. It pushed me right out of my comfort zone, and that’s where the money always was. I used that stupid prediction as a kick in the pants. It was the best, most practical astrology experiment I’ve ever done.
