My Messy First Try
Look, I kept seeing this Virgo Oracle career path stuff everywhere. Ads, videos, you name it. “Find your destiny!” Blah blah. Finally, I caved. Figured, why not? Worst case, I waste an hour.
First off, “Oracle” sounded super fancy. Scary, honestly. Grabbed my laptop, fired up the browser. Typed “Virgo Oracle career beginner” like a total noob. Bam. A gazillion sites popped up. Felt overwhelming. Clicked the first three results, felt dizzy. Too much info, all talking like robots.
Closed everything. Took a deep breath. Decided I needed a real starting point, not marketing fluff.
Actually Doing Something Simple
Forget complicated software. I needed basics. Grabbed:
- My trusty notebook (the paper kind!)
- A regular deck of playing cards. Yeah, cards. Simple.
- A pen.
Sat down at the kitchen table. Clear space, good light. Felt better already. No fancy tools, just me and the cards. Shuffled them good. Like, really shuffled. Felt silly, but whatever.
Okay, focus. Wrote down one single question: “What’s a good area for a Virgo like me to look into for work?” Kept it broad. Didn’t expect miracles.
Flipped over the first card. Heart something… Jack of Hearts? Right. Okay… no clue what that meant for work. Flipped the next one. Three of Clubs? Seriously? Felt random. Started scribbling thoughts anyway. “Hearts… helping people? Clubs… maybe building stuff?” Didn’t make much sense. Got frustrated. Shut the notebook. This seemed stupid.
The “Duh” Moment Later
Next day, making coffee, it hit me. I was treating it like magic! Expecting the cards to spell out “Become a Neurosurgeon” or something. Wrong approach. Realized: it’s just prompts for my own brain. That Jack of Hearts? My first thought was actually “customer service,” but I dismissed it ’cause it seemed boring. Three of Clubs? Made me think of fixing things – which I kinda like.
Reopened the notebook. Not looking for mystical answers anymore. Looking for my reactions to the symbols. What jumped into my head first? Ignored the “official” meanings the websites screamed about. Made a short list:
- Helping people solve problems (thanks, Jack)
- Practical, hands-on fixing or building (Three of Clubs)
- Something detailed? (I am a Virgo, after all…)
That felt useful. It wasn’t a job title handed to me. It was my own thoughts, nudged out by some card pictures.
Okay, Baby Step Forward
Armed with my own dumb little list, I hit job boards. Not searching for “Oracle Careers” (still sounded ridiculous). Searched basic things like “customer support” or “technical support.” Or “hands-on repair jobs.” Or “detail-oriented admin roles.”
Flipped through listings, not applying yet, just reading descriptions. Noticed a pattern – some jobs kept mentioning things like “troubleshooting,” “resolving client issues,” “maintaining processes.” Ding ding! Kinda matched my card-induced scribbles. Started a new list in the notebook of job types that seemed like possible fits.
Just looked. Didn’t commit. Just noted.
Why This “Oracle” Thing Bugs Me Sometimes
Look, beginner me almost gave up after that first confusing card flip. The whole online vibe around this? It’s a mess.
Most sites make it sound like you need secret software you gotta pay for, or insanely complex rituals. Or that you’ll get a definite job offer beamed into your brain. Total nonsense. It feels like another way to sell useless courses or fancy decks.
And that “Oracle” label? Makes normal people like us feel like we need a Ph.D. in Mystical Arts just to start. You don’t. At its core? It’s literally just using something simple (cards, pictures, even random words you pull from a hat!) to trigger your own buried thoughts or give you a new angle. That’s it. Forget the crystal-waving hype.
My whole issue? Trying to run before walking. Beginners need the absolute basics: start simple, listen to your own first impressions, ignore the noise. You don’t need the most expensive tarot deck. Grab playing cards. Or find free online image generators. Anything that sparks a thought. Write it down. Connect dots yourself. Your Virgo practicality is your best tool here!
The Unlikely Twist
Here’s the kicker. Remember how frustrated I got? Almost threw the cards away. Then, maybe a week later, just doodling in that notebook while waiting on hold with tech support (about my actual internet!), I stumbled on my lists. The “support” idea plus “hands-on.” Weirdly matched why I was on the phone – troubleshooting a dumb router issue. Kinda enjoy figuring that stuff out.
Started casually looking into IT support certifications. Nothing flashy. Basic stuff. Free resources mostly. Now? I’m actually working through one. Not an “Oracle” job. Just practical, problem-solving tech support.
The cards didn’t predict it. They just accidentally pointed my own brain towards something that fit me. Funny how that works. Don’t overcomplicate it.
