Honestly, for the longest time, I figured all the astrology stuff was just noise, you know? Like, straight-up just filler for magazines. I’m a Virgo, which means I’m supposed to be practical, but I’m also the guy who needs to see the receipts. Susan Miller, though, she keeps popping up. Everyone talks about her Virgo weekly horoscope reads like they’re stock market tips. So, I figured, let’s stop guessing and start logging.
I committed to a full three-month cycle. That was the start. I decided to treat her readings like an actual project plan, the kind of detailed work my job used to chew up and spit out back when I was running Ops for a startup, before things got… messy. I set up a simple spreadsheet—nothing fancy, just three columns: Date/Week, Miller’s Prediction (the exact quote), and Actual Life Event.
The Messy Log: Breaking Down the Predictions
I started with the weekly read for the second week of September. She highlighted “unexpected financial gains” and simultaneously warned about a “mishap related to communication or travel.” That week, I logged zero unexpected cash. But I did totally botch a FaceTime interview for a consulting gig, the screen froze, the sound cut out—a total, documented communication mishap. Point for Miller, even if the good news was a bust.
I kept running the experiment. The process wasn’t simple. You have to decode the language. They never say, “You will buy a sandwich on Tuesday.” It’s always, “Expect a period of heightened activity centered around nourishment and daily routines.” I had to learn to translate. I began to categorize them:
- The Direct Hits (Maybe 15%): Stuff that was too specific to ignore. One week she talked about a “breakthrough with an older female relative.” Yep. My Aunt Carol finally agreed to sell the family cabin we’d been arguing over for years.
- The Vague Fluff (The Majority): This is the tricky part. “Opportunities surrounding work will expand.” Well, yeah, I applied for six jobs that week. Statistically, one of them had to be an ‘opportunity.’
- The Straight-Up Misses (Maybe 25%): The week she promised a “spark in your love life,” my dog chewed up my favorite work shoes, and I spent the weekend cleaning up a burst water pipe. Zero sparks. Just damp frustration.
What I realized after a month of meticulous logging was that the prediction wasn’t the goal; the focus was. Reading her advice made me pay attention to the areas of my life she mentioned. If she said, “Be cautious with money,” I wasn’t just blindly saving; I was checking my bank balance three times a day and questioning every impulse buy. It was less prophecy, more prompt.
Why I Even Bothered with Celestial Gossip
Now, why did I go to all this trouble? Why did a guy who thinks spreadsheets are the peak of spiritual fulfillment suddenly care about the moon being in my second house? Because I was desperate for a compass.
I told you I ran Ops for a startup. We were bought out by this giant corporation. They promised us the moon. Six months in, they started doing the mass layoff thing. I was one of the last ones standing, overseeing the exit of all my friends, feeling like a total ghoul. I spent months working 16-hour days, feeling this crushing weight, knowing the axe was coming for me next, but I couldn’t quit because of my mortgage.
The night before I was formally let go, I was totally wired, staring at the ceiling, scrolling through useless nonsense. That’s when I saw a Susan Miller clip. She was talking about Virgo and how “Neptune was urging caution” in career moves but “Jupiter was preparing to deliver a surprise blessing” in another area, completely separate from work. I remember thinking, “What a load of rubbish.”
The next day, I was canned. No surprise there. But the severance package they gave me was structured so poorly for the company that I realized I could use the payout to finally launch the online course I’d been planning for years. It was double the cash flow for half the effort. It was a complete, unexpected ‘blessing’ in disguise, happening exactly when the career move prediction failed.
That coincidence, that one-two punch of failure followed by an absurd win, that’s what hooked me. It wasn’t that she predicted the firing; it was that she gave me a framework to view the total chaos as a possible pivot.
The Real Takeaway Before You Act
So, should you pay attention? My three months of logs, meticulously detailed, tell me this: Don’t use it as a map; use it as a highlighter.
We are all running a million things at once. We ignore the subtle signals. Miller’s reading forces you to look at a specific area—your friends, your home, your money—for seven days. If she says “Pay attention to communication,” you’re going to notice when your partner sends a weird text, or when a colleague dodges an email. You are essentially doing the heavy lifting yourself because you are primed to look.
The reading is like a weather report: sometimes it’s accurate, sometimes it’s totally wrong, but it always makes you grab an umbrella. It’s a tool for elevated self-awareness, not a prophecy. My advice? Read it, log it, check your gut, and then make your own damn decision. That’s the only way a Virgo really works.
