Okay, here’s exactly how I put Bejan Daruwalla’s Virgo forecast this month to the test. Woke up feeling pretty scattered, honestly – typical Virgo stuff. Bills, work emails, and the neighbor’s dog barking at 6 AM. Coffee couldn’t fix it, so I pulled up Daruwalla’s monthly read for Virgo. Saw the love and money stuff front and center. Thought, “Alright, let’s give this a shot.”
Starting Simple: The Coffee Date
The forecast talked about needing clear communication in relationships. Like, overcommunicating. Daruwalla basically said Virgos need to spell things out right now. My partner and I have this low-key frustration about not spending enough quality time. We’re together, but often just zoning out separately.
So, action step: I didn’t just mumble “We should do something.” Instead, I actually said, “How about we grab coffee Saturday morning at 10 AM at that place downtown? No phones, just us talking?” Point-blank invitation, clear time, clear location. Felt a bit weird being so direct, but hey, following the advice! Partner looked surprised, then smiled and said “Yes!” immediately. Simple, specific invitation worked. We actually had a great convo, no distractions.
The Money Experiment: Envelopes & Planning
The money angle was about meticulous planning and organization. Daruwalla suggested Virgos tackle finances head-on this month. My typical method? A mess. Scattered accounts, forgetting subscriptions, impulse buying snacks. Needed structure.
Here’s what I physically did:
- Gathered all the bills physically – electric, phone, that streaming service I forgot about.
- Dumped the pay dates and bill amounts into a free spreadsheet (nothing fancy!). Actually saw the gaps.
- Created cash envelopes for groceries, fun money, and gas. Took out the cash Friday after payday. Stuffed it in literal envelopes marked with the categories.
- Stuck savings cash in a bright pink envelope labeled “DO NOT TOUCH” – hid it under some books.
Result? No surprise overdraft fees so far. Seeing the physical cash disappear for groceries was eye-opening! Made me really think twice about that extra bag of chips. Saved the planned amount. Not gonna lie, the envelope method feels a bit old-school, but physically handling the cash makes the budgeting real.
Did It Stick? Some Honest Reflection
Okay, not a perfect fairytale ending.
The Good: That direct coffee date plan? Magic. Immediate positive response. The envelope system? Actually saved money this first pay cycle. Felt more in control knowing exactly where the cash was going. The forecast kinda nailed the Virgo need for control and specifics.
The Tricky Bit: The overcommunication bit is… work. Seriously. Remembering to be that explicit all the time feels unnatural. Accidentally fell back into vague mode mid-week (“Maybe later?”). Also, tracking the envelopes? Another habit to build. Consistency is the struggle.
Overall? Honestly impressed. Taking specific, tangible actions based on Daruwalla’s Virgo prompts – the direct plans and physical budgeting – delivered real, measurable benefits right away, especially financially. The love side takes more conscious effort, but that first step worked. Gonna keep trying the envelopes and see if I can keep up the clear talk. Maybe it’ll stick.
