Okay, so today I decided to test that whole Virgo career horoscope thing everyone keeps sharing. Started my morning scrolling through social media and saw this flashy post screaming about “expert Virgo career advice.” Figured why not – it’s slow at work anyway. Rolled my eyes but clicked.
The setup
First, I grabbed three different horoscope sites. Wrote down what each one predicted for Virgos today: Site A said “avoid confrontations,” Site B promised “a big career opportunity,” and Site C warned about “technical errors in communication.” Made a note to track these all day.
The experiment
Spent my workday low-key paranoid. When my boss emailed about project delays, I bit my tongue instead of arguing (Site A’s “avoid confrontations”). Felt proud until lunch. Then nothing happened for hours. No “big opportunities” (Site B), no tech glitches (Site C). Just… spreadsheets.
Around 3 PM, my coworker messaged: “Can you fix this bug? System crashed.” Ha! Site C’s tech warning! Rushed over… turns out he’d unplugged his monitor by accident. Not exactly a crisis.
The outcome
End of day recap:
- Zero confrontations avoided (just avoided my boss altogether)
- Zero big opportunities (unless you count free expired donuts)
- Zero real tech issues (just user error)
Honestly? Biggest takeaway was wasting time overthinking horoscope jargon. Real career advice I needed: mute those horoscope accounts. Should’ve spent that energy prepping for tomorrow’s actual meeting. Stars ain’t paying my bills.
