Alright so honestly I never believed this astrology stuff worked. Money signs? For Virgos? Come on. But 2018 started rough job-wise and honestly I was desperate enough to try anything. Figured why not track this “Virgo money prediction” garbage for a full year just to prove it wrong? Here’s exactly what I did day by day.
How I Set This Up Totally Skeptical
First thing January 1st, I dug up that dumb “Virgo 2018 Money Signs” article printed it out sticky notes everywhere fridge laptop bathroom mirror. Made a spreadsheet too columns for:
- Date (every single day no skipping)
- Predicted Money Sign (like “Mercury retrograde affects investments” or “Unexpected windfall possible”)
- Actual Money Thing That Happened
- Amount (even pennies)
- Feelings (mostly annoyed at first)
Started simple just tracking coffee spills counted as “unexpected losses” like the prediction said. Seriously spilled my $4 latte January 3rd actually wrote it down felt ridiculous.
The Weird Stuff That Actually Matched
Okay so February rolled around prediction said “focus on old debts resolving.” Ignored it completely. Then outta nowhere my cousin Dave texts “hey remember that $100 I borrowed in 2015?” Paid me back IN FULL with a pizza. Marked that down stared at the spreadsheet for like 20 minutes.
Summer hit big prediction was “career shift brings hidden financial gains.” Hah! My boss quit July 15th total chaos. Panicked applied for internal promotion did not get it BUT the temp role they tossed me paid overtime. Extra $800 month! That spreadsheet column suddenly felt heavier.
End of Year Shocker
By December I was kinda… nervous? Prediction screamed “AVOID BIG SPENDS BEFORE XMAS!” Normally I buy flights early but hesitated. Literally the DAY after I delayed booking that airline announced a 40% off holiday sale. Saved nearly $300. My hands shook typing that in. Even my skeptical partner mumbled “okay that’s freaky.”
What I Learned Tracking This Nonsense
- Stupidly specific tracking works: Writing EVERY tiny money event makes you notice patterns way more.
- Some coincidences punch hard: Too many weird matches to dismiss fully. Felt like my spreadsheet was judging me.
- Mostly still a gamble: Half the predictions flopped completely. No lottery win surprise inheritance nothing.
Final spreadsheet count? Predicted 91 money events hit around 37% kinda sorta. Better than my savings account interest honestly. Still think horoscopes are mostly silly but… maybe I’ll peek at 2019’s Virgo money signs. Just for laughs. Maybe.
