Okay so I gotta share this weird thing that happened last month. Normally I’m like, “Eh horoscopes, whatever.” Right? But September rolled around and I saw this Virgo Monthly Horoscope thing screaming “Big Surprises Coming Your Way!” Online, everywhere. Curiosity got me, you know? Felt like a dare. Figured, what the heck, let’s actually try doing what it suggests for Virgos this month. See if anything actually happens. Total experiment mode.
The Starting Point: Virgo’s Advice Usually Sucks
Past horoscopes always told me to “organize my sock drawer” or “perfect that spreadsheet.” Classic Virgo stuff, super boring. But this one was different. It kept going on about embracing unexpected shifts and staying open to stuff I normally wouldn’t do. Also talked about focusing on health routines – drinking more water, simple stuff, but seriously. I’m terrible at that. My usual routine is coffee, chaos, collapse.
So, What Did I Actually Do?
- First Week: Forced myself to say “Yes” to little things I’d usually say “No” to immediately. Coworker asked if I wanted to try that new weird salad place for lunch? Normally I hate salads, said “Ugh, fine, sure.” Buddy wanted to hike a trail I thought was lame? “Yeah, okay.” Just kept agreeing to random invites.
- Water Struggle Is Real: Grabbed a giant bottle, filled it every morning. Set phone alarms like “DRINK, DUMBASS!” (Literally named the alarms that). Felt like I was constantly peeing, which was annoying but… kinda worked?
- The “Embrace Shifts” Part: Had a freelance gig get suddenly postponed. Instead of my usual panic-spiral, I tried the horoscope advice: “Stay open.” Went for a long walk instead of stress-refreshing my email. Felt weirdly calm.
When Stuff Started Getting Weird
Mid-month felt… oddly smooth. Less stressed somehow. That salad place lunch? The coworker mentioned her friend needed someone with my exact niche skills for a quick project. Boom. New contact. Potential work. Okay, coincidence?
Then the hike with my buddy. Trail wasn’t lame at all – actually found this cool abandoned lookout point. Got some killer photos I put online. People loved them, one small local magazine even asked if they could use one! Felt surreal.
The freelance gig that got postponed? Client came back apologetic, offered a higher rate “for the inconvenience.” Seriously?! This never happens.
The “Big Surprise”? It Wasn’t One Thing
No lottery win (still broke!). No alien abduction (disappointing, I know). But looking back at September? It was just this steady stream of small, positive shocks. Work connections popping up, cool opportunities falling in my lap unexpectedly, even just feeling healthier and less wound-up. Kept thinking, “Is this real?”
The surprise wasn’t one huge event. It was realizing that actually paying attention to that dumb horoscope advice – embracing small shifts, sticking to basic health stuff, saying yes sometimes – genuinely opened up little doors. Doors I would’ve slammed shut or walked right past normally. Felt kinda wild, proving my skeptical self wrong.
So yeah. Did following a Virgo horoscope bring “Big Surprises”? Damn right it did. Just not at all in the way I thought it would. Mostly made me feel like I accidentally hacked my own stubbornness. Gotta admit, kinda curious about October now…
