Okay, so I saw this astrology thing about Virgo careers and thought, “Meh, why not try it?” I don’t usually buy into horoscope stuff, but my job’s been kinda blah lately. Grabbed my laptop at 6:00 AM – typical Virgo over-preparation – and dug into those tips step by step.
Step 1: Getting Organized
First tip was about using lists. Made a huge-ass spreadsheet for all my daily tasks instead of scribbling sticky notes everywhere. Color-coded deadlines in angry red, meetings in boring gray, and personal goals in smug purple. Felt kinda ridiculous but damn, crossing stuff off gave me weird satisfaction.
Step 2: Fixing My Damn Workspace
The article kept yapping about “orderly environments.” Looked at my disaster desk with coffee stains and tangled charger wires and caved. Spent three hours Friday night rearranging everything:
- Labeled folders with a Sharpie
- Threw out old takeout chopsticks
- Bought ugly but functional drawer organizers
Mondays usually suck but walking into that clean space? Actually felt less ragey opening emails.
Step 3: Volunteering as Tribute
Biggest tip said “service-oriented tasks boost Virgo mojo.” Rolled my eyes hard. But Wednesday, Sarah from accounting looked lost with Excel. Normally I’d pretend not to see, but mumbled, “Need help?” Showed her pivot tables for 20 minutes. Got zero thanks, BUT later my report deadline got mysteriously extended. Coincidence? Maybe. Still filing under “Virgo witchcraft.”
The Disaster Test
Tried the “meticulous planning” advice for a client pitch. Wrote a speech, rehearsed in the shower, timed slides. Day comes? Projector dies. Panic-sweating while my boss stares. Remembered backup plan B: printed handouts in my bag – saved the meeting. Virgo points scored!
Why I Kept Doing It
Honestly thought I’d quit after a week. But noticing small wins:
- Less frantic 3:00 PM “what did I forget?” moments
- Started ending work at 5:30 instead of 7:00
- My boss muttered “reliable” during reviews
Still think Mercury retrograde is BS though. If my computer crashes, it’s ’cause I spilled tea on it again.
Final verdict? Some Virgo traits fit scary well. The lists and organizing stuck around – rest faded like New Year’s resolutions. Worth trying just to unclutter your brain… even if zodiac stuff feels like fortune cookies for adults.
