So back in 2017, I remember seeing that Virgo monthly horoscope post floating around online. Now, I’m not usually superstitious, but hey, life felt kinda messy then, so I figured, why not? Maybe it’s got some clues, you know? Let me walk you through how I actually used it that whole year.
Getting Started & Setting Up
First thing I did was grab a fresh notebook – one of those cheap spiral-bound ones from the corner store. Didn’t need anything fancy. Then, I printed out the horoscope predictions for each month, big letters so I wouldn’t squint. Stuck those printouts right on the fridge with magnet clips, the super strong kind so they wouldn’t slide off. My partner just rolled their eyes but didn’t touch it, thank god.
I also cleared a whole page at the back of that notebook just to track stuff, simple two-column style:
- Left side: Jotted down what the stars supposedly said was coming for that month – like “big opportunity mid-month!” or “careful with travel delays.”
- Right side: This was my real life. Just quick notes every few days about what actually happened. Good, bad, boring. Felt kinda like keeping a diary, but faster.
Living With It Month by Month
Honestly? Some months felt dead on. Take May 2017. That horoscope was screaming about “unexpected changes at work.” Well, guess what? My boss pulls me in outta nowhere on May 10th – company restructure, my whole team shifting, new manager. Felt like a bus hit me. Scribbled that down fast.
Then came August. Horoscope was all “romantic sparks fly! Deep connections!” Man, August was hot garbage. Me and my partner argued non-stop about stupid things, like who left the coffee pot empty. Like, actual screaming over burnt coffee grounds. Wrote that in the book too. Stars missed that one big time.
December though? Spot on again. Predicted “lucky financial windfall.” I kid you not, Dec 15th, found an old savings bond tucked in a book I hadn’t opened in years. Paid for like half our holiday trip. Laughed my head off when I added that note.
What Did I Actually Learn?
So after a full year of tracking, flipping back through that notebook was kinda eye-opening. Yeah, sometimes crazy stuff lined up. But way more often? It didn’t. Like at all. The horoscope talked about “social breakthroughs” in July, but I just binged Netflix with a cold.
- Biggest Takeaway? This stuff is mostly random noise. Good luck? Bad luck? Feels more like life just happens, and sometimes we look back and force a pattern onto it.
- Actual “Lucky” Months? For me personally? May sucked but forced a good career shift eventually. December actually paid off (literally). The rest was pretty standard.
- Would I do it again? Nah. Wasted too much energy stressing over vague predictions. Cool experiment though! Got that messy notebook as proof. If you’re curious, just track it yourself. See where it takes you. But don’t hold your breath.
