My Mercury in Virgo Experiment Week
So this whole Mercury in Virgo thing got me thinking. I’m kinda messy usually, emails pile up, my thoughts jump everywhere, planning? Nah. Figured I’d give those “organized Virgo” traits a real shot for a week, following those online tips. Just jumped in honestly, with zero prep.
Started simple: That whole “declutter your space” tip? Okay then. Monday morning, before coffee even. I stared at my disaster desk – papers, random cables, half-empty water bottle. Grabbed one small box first. Just tackled that tiny pile of receipts beside my monitor. Didn’t try to conquer the whole desk, just that one spot. Felt weirdly satisfying. Did another small spot Tuesday. Honestly, less overwhelming than I imagined.
The “Mind Like a Sieve” Fix: Wednesday was list day. Mercury in Virgo supposedly loves lists? Me, not so much. Forgot my grocery list immediately. This time, though, I tried the advice: “Write EVERYTHING down.” Took 3 minutes after breakfast. Scribbled down every tiny task bouncing in my head: call plumber, reply to Sarah’s email, buy cat food, figure out why router blinks red. Put it right where I couldn’t miss it: stuck to the fridge with a banana magnet. Felt kinda dumb… but crossed two things off by lunch. Mind was quieter, actually.
Communication Overhaul: Thursday was email day. I’m the king of “kk” and “thx” replies. The tip said “precision over speed.” Felt like homework. One email took me 10 minutes! Drafted this reply to my boss about a deadline. Read it twice. Cut out two rambling sentences, added the exact date I needed feedback. Made sure the “ask” was crystal clear – “Can you confirm by Friday EOD?” instead of “let me know whenever.” Hit send. Nerve-wracking! But he replied with the confirmation same afternoon. Huh. Weirdly effective.
Observing the Details: Friday morning coffee became my “be more observant” practice. Sat outside instead of gulping it inside. Tried to really see. Noticed the tiny bee landing on the lavender, the specific shade of blue in the sky (wasn’t just “blue”), the exact rhythm of the neighbor’s sprinkler. Normally I’d chug and run. It made the coffee taste… richer? Slowed my brain down a touch for the day. Felt less frantic.
Routine Reality Check: Saturday was “fine-tune routines.” My evening routine sucked – scroll phone, pass out. Tried the “small adjustments” tip. Instead of huge changes, swapped 15 minutes of scrolling right before bed with writing down the next day’s one big priority. Just one! And prepped my coffee mug beside the machine. Woke up Sunday feeling slightly less like a zombie? It’s a start.
Review & Refine Sunday: Looked back on the week. What actually stuck?
- The micro-decluttering? Did little bits daily. Desk is… better. Still work in progress, but way less stressful.
- The super-specific list? Lifesaver for work. Still doing it.
- Precise communication? Takes effort, but replies are clearer. Less back-and-forth confusion.
- Observing details? I like it! Made coffee and walks less automatic.
- Small routine tweaks? The evening note and coffee prep stuck. Easy wins.
The other couple tips? Like “analyze complex info”? Yeah… didn’t really get into spreadsheets on Saturday. Maybe next week. Honestly surprised how practical these were. No deep astrological knowledge needed, just tweaking everyday things. Biggest win? The brain feels less scattered. Mercury in Virgo energy? Kinda works. Still messy, but functionally messy now.
