My Virgo Love Journey in September 2024
Okay so I decided to try this whole astrology thing seriously last September. Virgo season right? I’m a typical Virgo – organized, critical, always overthinking. My love life was a mess though. Tinder dates ghosting me, situationships fizzling out. Figured why not lean into my zodiac sign for once.
First thing I did was grab my planner. Seriously, I color-coded the whole month with highlighters. Pink for romance activities, blue for self-care shit. Blocked out every Sunday morning for “Virgo reflection time” where I’d journal about relationship patterns. Even set phone alarms labeled “STOP OVERTHINKING” that went off randomly.
The real work started September 3rd. Made two lists:
- Virgo baggage dump: All my picky habits like hating when people chew loud, needing 15 min alone after work before talking
- What I actually need: Someone who remembers birthdays, doesn’t play mind games, texts back within 3 hours
Next week I forced myself to try new stuff. Went alone to that board game cafe downtown. Almost bailed when I saw couples everywhere but I played Catan with strangers. One guy kept helping me with strategy – turns out he’s a Capricorn! We exchanged numbers but I didn’t overanalyze it for once. Just texted “Game night was fun” with no follow-up questions.
Mid-month slump hit hard though. Started noticing dumb Virgo traps like:
- Critiquing first dates’ outfits in my head
- Planning marriage timelines after two coffee meets
- Making spreadsheets comparing potential partners
When Capricorn guy took 5 hours to reply? I nearly wrote him off. Then remembered my “STOP OVERTHINKING” alarm literally rang while I was drafting breakup texts.
Last week of September changed everything. Had this dumb Virgo ritual – burned my baggage list in a ceramic bowl (nearly set off smoke alarm lol). Next day Capricorn asked me out properly. We’re keeping it simple: no projecting futures, no nitpicking. Still notice his crooked collar sometimes but I shut my trap and kiss him instead.
Final takeaway? Astrology doesn’t fix shit. But leaning into my Virgo nature showed me exactly where I sabotage myself. Still got that bowl with ash stains on my desk – good reminder to chill the fuck out sometimes.
