The whole astrology gig? Yeah, I fell into it, just like I fall into every other project that actually pays the bills. It wasn’t some spiritual awakening thing, trust me. It was pure necessity.
I was working for this mid-sized company—doesn’t matter what they did—and one day, this new boss, fresh out of business school, just decided my whole department was “redundant.” Redundant! After five years of basically keeping the lights on for them. They called me into the conference room, handed me a severance package that wouldn’t cover two months’ rent, and told me to clear my desk by noon. I felt like I’d been punched in the gut, honestly.
I walked out of there, got into my beat-up truck, and just drove. My savings? Gone, thanks to a leaky roof I had to fix the year before. I had maybe fifty bucks in my bank account. My wife was looking at me, asking what we were going to do. I had to find something that turned money, and fast.
Now, I’ve been messing around with natal charts and Tarot since I was a teenager—just for fun, for friends, never professionally. But desperation changes things, right? I remembered how everyone always asked me for relationship advice based on their signs. I thought, “Okay, I can write one of these things better than the garbage I see online.” I decided to try and monetize my weird, hidden hobby.
The first step, for this Virgo April 2025 Love Horoscope, was to just commit to the process. I pulled out my old, dog-eared copy of the ephemeris. It’s got coffee stains and highlighter marks all over it. I dust off my laptop, which is barely hanging on but still runs my basic charting software. I opened it up and dialed the date: April 1, 2025.
Mapping the Mess: The Transits
You can’t just make this stuff up. You gotta look at what the cosmos are actually doing. I started by charting the major players:
- I observed the sun, which was mostly cruising through Aries—that’s action, aggression, and ego stuff.
- Then I looked at Venus. Where was she? She moves fast, and in April 2025, she was swapping signs. I pinpointed her move into Taurus, which is major for Virgos because it’s their money-and-values-house (or their travel/philosophy house, depending on the house system you’re using).
- I checked Mars. That guy causes the trouble. Mars’ placement tells me where the energy, and the fights, are going to be focused.
- I made a note of the upcoming lunation—a New Moon or Full Moon in a sign that clashes with Virgo’s energy. That’s always a reliable drama spike. I found a significant one that hits right at their intimacy and shared resources sector.
The Deep Dive: Virgo Specifics
Once I had the calendar lined up, I rotated the whole chart to a Virgo Rising/Sun. That’s the key. How does Aries/Taurus energy land on a Virgo chart?
For love, I focused hard on the 7th House (partnerships) and the 8th House (sex, shared money, deep connections). I saw that a lot of the action was slamming into the 8th house. This meant the Virgos out there were not going to be fighting about who cleans the dishes; they were going to be fighting about who controls the joint bank account, or maybe some deep, buried jealousy issue. I knew I had to emphasize that.
I wrote down the general vibe: “Get Ready!” It felt right. The energy was explosive. I drafted a rough week-by-week outline.
Getting it Written and Shipped
My approach isn’t complicated. I just sit down and type like I’m talking to my buddy. No fancy astrological terms. I keep it simple, like this:
The Start of April:
I wrote that the first week was going to feel intense. I used words like “pressure cooker” and “don’t start a fight you can’t finish.”
Mid-Month Pivot:
I described the Venus shift, saying, “Your love life might suddenly get expensive, or you might demand more stability from your partner. Don’t be too stubborn.”
The Big Finish:
I wrapped up the last week with the dramatic lunation, warning them to watch their back accounts and be honest about their feelings. I told them to get ready for a big, but necessary, clean-out in their emotional life.
I checked the whole thing, read it out loud to make sure it sounded like me, and adjusted a few sentences that were too polished. I slapped the text into my blog editor, added a quick, generic, but catchy header image (no links, just a picture I made myself), and hit the ‘Publish’ button. The whole process, from the first chart pull to hitting ‘go’, took about five hours. It was tiring, but seeing that post go live, knowing that money would trickle in from the ads and maybe a couple of tips? That’s the real satisfaction. Another day survived, another prediction done. And that’s how I make my rent now. No office politics, just stars and survival.
