Okay, so last week I decided to actually try applying that old Virgo horoscope I dug up – the November 2017 one. Wanted to see if this stuff had any real bite, you know?
Getting Started
First thing Monday morning, I grabbed my notebook and that horoscope printout. The big headline screamed about organization and deadlines. Felt kinda obvious for us Virgos, but hey. My desk looked like a tornado hit it – papers everywhere, half-drunk coffee cups. So I went full purge mode. Shoved all unrelated crap into drawers, wiped the surface down proper. Made one neat pile for urgent work stuff only. Felt good immediately.
The Money Hustle
The tip about financial opportunities popping up mid-month stuck with me. Figured I’d get ahead of it. Called up Dave from accounting Tuesday – casual-like, just asked if any extra contract work was floating around. He went quiet for a sec, then said “Actually…” Turns out Susan’s maternity leave got moved up, needed someone to handle payroll audits mid-November. Nailed it. Pushed hard on negotiating the rate too, since the stars said negotiations favored us then.
Communication Headaches
Here’s where it got messy. The horoscope warned about misunderstandings with fire signs around the 15th. My damn boss Leo starts blowing up my email Thursday demanding project updates early. Instead of snapping back, I remembered that tip. Took a breath, scheduled a face-to-face. Didn’t argue, just laid out my timeline bullet points on paper like the stars suggested. He grumbled but backed off. Dodged a bullet there.
Wrap-Up & What Actually Worked
End of month rolled around. Results? Mixed bag but decent:
- Desk stayed clean for two whole weeks – record for me
- Scored that freelance gig – extra $1.2K in the pocket
- Zero blowout fights with management despite three near-misses
- Still got stress-cramps though. Stars didn’t fix my coffee addiction
The practical stuff – tidying space, chasing money chances, pausing before replying – genuinely helped. The timing predictions felt suspiciously accurate too. Maybe coincidence, maybe not. Would I do it again? Probably. If anything, it made me actually tackle things I’d been avoiding. Even pulled out that notebook again yesterday.
