Okay, so back in summer 2017, I got curious about this Virgo money horoscope thing for July. My cash flow felt kinda stuck then, bills stacking up, y’know? Thought maybe the stars had some cheap tricks I hadn’t tried.
My Starting Point That June
First, I actually dug out my old notebook from June 2017. Saw scribbles like:“Paycheck gone after rent/car… ZERO savings again. Felt like running in sand.” Brutal honesty helps.
Then I did what the horoscope suggested about “reviewing resources.” Basically turned my apartment upside down hunting for forgotten cash. Found:
- $23 crumpled in winter coat pockets (score!)
- Two unused iTunes gift cards ($25 total)
- A lottery ticket that won $4 (lol)
Not life-changing, but hey –found money is found money.
The Real Work Stuff
The horoscope kept yapping about “strategic communication before July 10.” On July 3rd, I marched into my boss’s office sweating bullets. Said straight up:“Need more hours or a side project. Bills eating me.”
Boss paused… then threw me some weekend overtime shifts. Extra $300 that month. Horoscope called it “opportunity through direct speech.” I call it not choking when asking.
The Weird Symbol Thing
Part said “mercury favors practical solutions near water symbols.” Sounded like nonsense but I tried it. Every Friday that month, I did budget planningbeside my fish tank instead of my cluttered desk. Seriously. Those neon tetras watched me cancel two subscriptions and set up automatic $50 savings transfers.
Felt silly, but focusing near water actually made me calmer. Didn’t rage-quit my budget spreadsheet once.
How It Actually Went Down
By August 1st? Results were… okay. Not magic. But:
- Overtime cash covered groceries
- Found money became emergency gas fund
- Automatic savings stuck (first time ever!)
Biggest win?Stopped ignoring small leaks – like that $10 streaming service I never used but kept paying for since 2015. Virgo energy nailed that.
Looking back, horoscopes don’t fix money problems. But treating it like a weird checklist made me actually DO stuff instead of worrying. Sometimes you just need a cosmic nudge to check your coat pockets.
