Alright so this month I decided to actually sit down and follow my Virgo horoscope for once. Usually I just skim it and forget about it five minutes later.
Starting the Week
First thing Monday morning, I grabbed my coffee and opened the app. The main theme was all about getting organized and paying attention to health. It said something like “tackle that clutter you’ve been ignoring.” So I looked around my office and yeah, it was a mess.
I didn’t wanna just read it and nod. I got up, found some empty boxes, and just started. I began with the pile of papers on my desk. Old receipts, random notes, just junk. I sorted everything into three piles: keep, shred, recycle. It took like an hour, but man, the desk looked so much better after.
The Real Challenge
The horoscope also mentioned something about “vices” and being too critical. That part hit home. My vice is definitely getting stuck in negative thoughts. So my practice for Wednesday was to catch myself every time I started mentally complaining about a coworker or a situation.
- Morning meeting: Someone took credit for my idea. I felt that irritation rise up.
- Instead of stewing on it, I literally said out loud, “Okay, pause.”
- I took a deep breath and wrote the thought down in a notebook instead of letting it spin in my head.
- By the end of the day, I had three entries. I read them back and realized how petty most of it was.
It felt silly at first, but just the act of stopping the thought train helped a ton.
Wrapping Up the Month
By the last week, the horoscope was talking about finishing projects. I had this half-knitted scarf sitting in a basket for months. So I made a deal with myself: 30 minutes every night, no excuses.
I put my phone in another room, turned on some music, and just knitted. It was boring sometimes, but I kept going. And guess what? Last night, I actually finished it. It’s not perfect, there are a few loose stitches, but it’s done.
The big takeaway? Actually trying to do the stuff the horoscope suggests, even the small things, made the whole month feel more intentional. It didn’t magically fix everything, but it gave me little nudges I didn’t know I needed. I might just try this again next month.
