Why Bother With Astrology Anyway?
So last Monday morning, I spilled coffee all over my laptop keyboard while checking work emails. Total chaos. Got me thinking – what else is November gonna throw at me? Remembered that dusty astrology newsletter I subscribed to ages ago about Virgo career stuff. Dug through 300+ unread emails to find their November 2024 predictions.
My Weird Prediction Checklist
Sat down with my bullet journal like always. Here’s exactly what I did step-by-step:
- Pulled up planetary transit charts for November using this free astrology site
- Printed out Mercury retrograde dates and taped ’em on my fridge
- Went full detective mode checking past work emails from November 2023 to spot patterns
- Set up three phone alarms labeled “Virgo career alignment time” for midday sanity checks
The Messy Part
Wednesday rolls around and Mercury goes sideways or whatever. Predictions mentioned “digital miscommunications”. Wouldn’t you know it? My project manager emails asking why some presentation deck got deleted last night. Spent two hours frantically checking backups before realizing SHE accidentally archived it. That planetary warning literally saved my job reputation.
Surprise Plot Twist
The forecast said “unexpected leadership opportunity”. Honestly laughed at that part – I’m no manager material. But last Thursday, Dave from the creative team quits mid-project meltdown. Boss looks straight at me saying “You’ve been tracking deadlines perfectly”. Next thing I know I’m running point on the campaign launch. Still not sure how Jupiter rising applies here but sure okay.
Lessons Learned So Far
Here’s my takeaways with just one week into November:
- DO actually track Mercury dates – set calendar reminders people!
- DON’T dismiss the small details (like my coffee disaster foreshadowing chaos)
- DO keep digital paper trails religiously – saved my ass twice already
- DON’T assume “opportunity” means promotion – sometimes it’s just extra responsibility
The planets got some things crazy right and other predictions are still unfolding. Will update y’all if that “sudden career pivot” prediction hits before Thanksgiving!
