Alright so last week I dug up this ancient “Virgo monthly horoscope 2017” thing cause someone asked if old forecasts still mattered. Honestly? Wasn’t sure where to even start. Most websites just threw vague paragraphs like “Mercury Retrograde affects communication” – super generic. Needed something step-by-step for us regular folks. Figured I’d wrestle with it myself.
The initial mess I found
First, fired up the laptop and googled around. Big mistake. Tons of sites popped up, all looking shady with flashy ads. Clicked a few “detailed” Virgo 2017 forecasts. Pages were stuffed with:
- Jupiter this, Saturn that – zero explanation what these planets actually DO to Virgos.
- “Challenging month ahead!” – but not saying why or how to handle it.
- Dates missing – like “mid-month brings surprises” with no actual days.
Felt like hitting a brick wall. Needed to pick this apart, planet by planet, month by month. Grabbed a notebook – old school style.
How I ripped it apart (slowly)
Started with January 2017. Searched forums where actual astrology nerds hang out. Found some decent threads breaking down planetary positions. Took frantic notes:
- Saturn squatting in Sagittarius – apparently meant Virgos needed to get real about health routines. Wrote down “No more skipping gym?” as my note.
- Jupiter chilling in Libra – forum folks said this boosted partnerships for Virgos. Highlighted “Talk biz deals NOW”.
February got messy thanks to Mercury Retrograde starting mid-month. Cross-referenced three sites. Realized retrograde meant:
- Tech headaches likely – made a reminder to back up photos (I lost phone pics once, never again).
- Travel plans = chaos – jotted down “Check flight times TWICE”.
Kept grinding like this. For August 2017, the big eclipse drama – every site screamed “HUGE CHANGE!” but nobody said how it hit Virgos specifically. Dug deeper into some astro-geek blog. Turned out it activated Virgo’s work zone. Note to self: “Boss might quit? Chance for promotion?”
What finally clicked
After three hours and way too much coffee, patterns emerged. Sorted notes month-by-month:
- April = Money talks (Venus stuff)
- June = Social chaos (Mercury acting up)
- October = Relationship reset (Thanks, Jupiter shift)
The step-by-step wasn’t in any single place – I Frankenstein’d it together. Tested it out chatting with my Virgo buddy Sarah. Her eyes lit up when I mentioned July 2017’s Mars pushing for solo projects. “YES! That’s when I finally launched my baking side-hustle!” she yelled. Knew I’d nailed it then.
Final step? Threw my messy notes into a clean doc – planetary dates, plain English effects, actual Virgo-life examples. Now when someone asks “What did Virgo 2017 mean?”, I just point ’em there. Took legwork, but worth it. Next up? Maybe tackling 2018 Taurus nonsense. Or maybe not – need more coffee first.
