This morning I thought why not try checking my Virgo horoscope for the week. Felt kinda curious what the stars might say about my luck or whatever. Grabbed my laptop, opened up Google real quick.
Typed in “Virgo weekly horoscope free” exactly like that. Hit enter and saw like a million sites popping up. Clicked the very first one cause it said “get your reading NOW” in big letters. Oh man, the pop-ups! Five freaking ad windows jumped at me before I could even see the zodiac signs. Closed those suckers fast.
Found the Virgo section after scrolling forever. Was about halfway down the page. Read that thing out loud cause why not? It said stuff like:
- Focus on finishing projects this week
- Don’t ignore gut feelings about people
- Unexpected cash might come your way
Okay sounds decent enough. Then I noticed this tiny button saying “Get full prediction”. Thought why not. Clicked it and boom – subscription page demanding $9.99 per week! Nope nope nope. Closed that tab immediately.
What happened next?
Tried another site that looked simpler. This one didn’t ask for cash up front. But after reading three sentences it blurred everything except a big email signup box. Felt like getting tricked real bad. Tried copying the text instead but the site blocked right-clicking.
Gave up on websites and opened Twitter instead. Searched “free Virgo weekly”. Found some astrology account posting quick bullet points. Copied them to my notes app:
- Career stuff needs attention Tuesday
- Don’t skip meals health-wise
- Mercury thing might mess up travel
Didn’t even understand half of it but saved it anyway. Then outta nowhere my boss pings me about finishing the backlog. Remembered the “focus on projects” advice. Worked extra two hours clearing my tasks. Coincidence? Maybe.
Later my cousin calls asking to borrow cash. Remembered the “gut feeling” part and said sorry no can do. He got mad but whatever. Then today morning found a $20 bill in my laundry. Totally unexpected cash right there. Weird.
Whole thing took me maybe 15 minutes max. Learned that free horoscopes do exist but you gotta dig through trash sites first. Mostly obvious advice but hey – found $20 so who’s complaining.
