Okay so this week I totally went all in on tracking my Virgo horoscope for career and money stuff. Woke up Monday morning, first thing I grabbed my phone still half asleep. Scrolled straight to that horoscope app – you know the one with the kinda ugly purple icon. Clicked on the Virgo section obviously.
The Plan
Saw this headline screaming about “strategic moves” and “financial flow.” Sounded fancy, right? Made me feel like I needed a plan. So I grabbed this old notebook I found in a drawer – the cover’s kinda torn, super cheap thing. Opened to a fresh page, scribbled “Virgo Week Watch” at the top like it was some official mission. Felt a bit silly honestly.
Monday & Tuesday: Career Nonsense
The app kept droning on about “attention to detail” and “communication.” Ugh, fine. At work, I tried real hard to double-check my emails before hitting send. Usually I just blast them out. Monday afternoon proofread that boring report extra carefully, found a typo I would have totally missed before. Felt weirdly… efficient?
Tuesday brought more stuff about “solving problems.” Co-worker was stressing about some messed-up spreadsheet. Normally I’d avoid that dumpster fire, but I sighed and sat down with them for like 20 minutes. We didn’t fix everything, but untangled a major knot. Boss walked by, gave a nod. Score one for the stars, maybe.
Wednesday: Paycheck and Payments
Midweek the money talk started getting loud. Horoscope yelled “Review Finances!” Usually that means ignoring my bank app. But, feeling all Virgo-vibed, I logged in after dinner. Checked that paycheck that landed Wednesday morning. Did the usual paying bills thing – rent, electricity, that annoying streaming service I never use but forget to cancel.
Here’s where it got interesting:
- Saw this subscription fee for that meditation app I downloaded months ago and used maybe twice. Forgotten drain!
- Checked my card history. Found three separate charges for coffee last Saturday. Felt super dumb. That adds up!
Scratched out the bullshit section in my notebook. Cancelled the stupid app right then. Definitely regretted those coffees.
Thursday & Friday: Side Hustle Sparks
The horoscope hinted at “new income streams” and “using skills.” Made me think about that freelance design thing I keep putting off. Thursday night, instead of just watching random stuff, I opened my laptop. Messed around with an old project for maybe an hour. Felt rusty.
Friday, I actually drafted a super short, awkward message to someone I kinda know who might need design help. Didn’t send it though. Stared at it. Felt nervous. Stupid stars.
Weekend Reflection (Mostly Coffee)
Finished the week feeling tired. Looked at my crappy notebook.
- Career: Didn’t mess up emails. Helped someone. Minimal actual strategy happened.
- Money: Found dumb leaks. Saved maybe $30? Didn’t magically make more.
- Side Thing: Drafted one text. Felt stuck.
Overall? The horoscope didn’t make me a superstar boss or a lottery winner. But it kinda poked me. I paid slightly better attention at work. I looked at my spending instead of pretending it didn’t exist. Found some dumb money holes. Didn’t conquer the world, but maybe cleaned up a tiny corner. Guess that counts? Coffee this weekend tastes slightly better knowing I cancelled that dumb app. Small win.
