Alright, so yesterday morning, I saw this thing online about the Moon being in Virgo right now. Supposedly it’s prime time to get your career ducks in a row. Honestly? I kinda laughed first. Moon signs telling me how to handle work? Sounded a bit out there. But hey, I figured trying couldn’t hurt. Worst case? I wasted an hour. Best case? Maybe I unlock some secret productivity hack.
First thing I did, coffee in hand, was just write down all the big, scary career dreams floating in my head. You know, the ones I usually avoid thinking about because they feel too big. Stuff like “Lead a major project,” “Move into a more creative role,” “Actually ask for that damn raise.” Didn’t censor myself, just dumped everything onto a messy piece of paper. It was kinda scary seeing them all written out like that.
Then Came The Chopping Block
Looking at that messy list felt overwhelming. Moon in Virgo vibes are all about detail and practicality, right? So I grabbed that list and started hacking away at it. What felt actually possible right now, not in some fantasy future? Which ones felt exciting but still grounded? I crossed off stuff that felt too vague (“Be successful” – useless!) or way too huge for the next few months (“Become CEO” – yeah, no). I ended up with three main things:
- Land that Graphic Design Project: I’m always passed over for the cool visual stuff at work. Want that chance.
- Have the Talk about Flexible Hours: My current commute sucks the life outta me.
- Set up a Simple Portfolio Website: Freelance is a maybe, but I need something to point to.
Okay, these felt real. Next step: Turn ’em into actual action steps. This is where I felt that Virgo energy kicking in hard. I needed tiny, doable tasks. Like, embarrassingly small. For the graphic design project:
- Identify one upcoming project that might need design help.
- Find out who actually decides who works on it.
- Make one simple mock-up related to that project on my own time.
- Schedule a quick 15-minute chat with that decision-maker just to offer my help for future stuff.
Seriously, breaking it down that small suddenly made it feel less like climbing Everest and more like walking around the block.
The Real Test: Actually Doing One
So, screw courage, I did the scariest tiny step first. That same afternoon, I sent an email asking Jane (the project lead) for 15 minutes to chat about “future creative opportunities on the team.” My hands were sweating! But, Virgo moon or not, I just forced myself to hit send. And guess what? She replied back in like 10 minutes: “Sure, stop by tomorrow at 11?” Boom. First domino tipped.
For the other goals? I spent maybe 20 minutes researching simple portfolio website builders (found one I like!), and I literally just opened a document titled “Flex Hours Talking Points” and wrote down one reason why it could help the company, not just me. That’s it for day one. Didn’t need to solve everything.
Biggest takeaway so far? It wasn’t magic, but the Moon in Virgo energy totally pushed me towards that obsession with tiny details and actually starting. Instead of staring at the big, scary mountain, I focused on laying down one tiny stone on the path. Felt surprisingly good. Gonna keep chipping away at these stupid-small tasks this week and see where it goes. Feels more real than just wishing.
