So last night I’m sitting at my kitchen table, laptop open, coffee cold as usual. Decided to tackle Virgo’s monthly predictions for 2023—figured my Virgo buddy Dave could use some heads-up since he’s always stressing over details. Started totally blank.
Digging into Research
First thing? Scrolled through like ten astrology sites. Jeez, the info overload was real. Every site had different planetary positions and advice. Got messy fast. Grabbed my notebook—old school, I know—and jotted down recurring themes: Mercury retrograde warnings, Venus influencing relationships, Saturn pushing career stuff. Cross-checked dates. Found three sites agreeing Mercury would wreck communication mid-month. Noted that down hard.
Picking Key Dates
Okay, “best dates” part had me sweating. Pulled up a calendar app and a planetary transit chart on another tab. Saw Mars cozying up with Jupiter around March 11th—classic energy boost moment. Marked it: “Career hustle day – go all in”. Then spotted Venus sliding into Virgo’s sector on the 18th. Scribbled: “Date night? Fix that awkward convo with Sarah”. Double-checked moon phases too—full moon on the 7th screamed “wrap up old projects”.
Writing the Actual Advice
Now for the practical tips. Didn’t wanna sound like a fortune cookie. Remembered Dave stressing over his messy garage last week. Totally Virgo. Wrote this for Mercury retrograde: “Don’t organize crap you hate. Fix what actually annoys you daily—like that broken cabinet hinge. Ignore the rest.” For the Mars-Jupiter combo? “Pitch your boss BEFORE lunch. They’re nicer when hungry.” Kept it blunt. Virgos get it.
Putting It All Together
Formatted it stupid simple:
- Hot Dates: March 11 (career), March 18 (relationships), March 7 (finish stuff)
- Mercury RX Tip: Fix daily irritants only. Skip deep cleans.
- Full Moon Reminder: Delete old emails. Physical clutter = brain clutter.
Proofread twice. Cat jumped on the keyboard and added “meow” after Venus advice. Deleted it. Saved as “Virgo_2023_March_Practical”. Sent it to Dave first. His reply? “Finally someone gets it—especially the cabinet hinge part.” Felt good.
And honestly? Still think horoscopes are mostly luck. But man, seeing someone actually use your advice? Worth the coffee stains.
