So last week I decided to try making a Virgo horoscope for 2024 after seeing folks on Twitter begging for predictions. Grabbed my coffee and opened three astrology sites plus my dog-eared planetary transit notes from last year.
The Research Phase
Started by jotting down key dates in my bullet journal:
-
Retrograde Madness
- Mercury retrograde periods circled in red
- Venus retrograde in Leo highlighted
- Jupiter transits marked with smiley faces
Spent two hours cross-checking conflicting predictions from different sources. Got real confused when one site said “career boom” while another predicted “job instability” for same dang month. Finally just averaged them out like pizza toppings.
Drafting The Mess
Opened Google Docs and vomited all the notes into three messy sections:
-
Main Categories
- Love & Relationships
- Career & Money
- Health & Wellness
Kept changing my mind about April predictions when I remembered Virgos would have Saturn breathing down their necks. Wrote three different versions before sticking with: “Expect delays but don’t freak out.” Real profound stuff.
The Polish Job
Added spicy emojis because let’s face it – nobody reads walls of astro-jargon. Put sparkles around August career predictions and warning signs near October’s financial section. Triple-checked planetary dates while eating cold pizza at 1am.
Final touch? Threw in Virgo-specific self-care tips like “reorganize your sock drawer during Mercury retrograde” cause that’s legit therapy for perfectionists.
Proofreading was brutal. Caught myself writing “Venus will cause relationship hellscape” and changed it to “challenging period.” Post went live with me nervously refreshing for comments. First reply: “Will this apply to September Virgos??” Sigh.
