My Morning Routine & the Horoscope Check
Woke up at my usual stupid-early time, 5:30 AM. Brain felt like mush. Made my stupidly strong black coffee first thing, like always. While it brewed, stumbled over to my laptop. Scrolled past the usual nonsense online until I spotted it – the Virgo forecast for today, January 22, 2025. Figured, why not? Needed any edge I could get.
Skimmed it quick. Two things jumped out:
- Love: Something about “rekindling old connections” and “being open-hearted but practical.” Sounded vague, but whatever.
- Success: Big emphasis on “organization” and “meticulous planning.” Shocker, right? Also mentioned “small daily wins adding up.” Okay, that made sense.
Putting That “Success” Advice to Work
Felt buried under a ton of work stuff right now. The “organization” bit hit home. So, did what any sensible Virgo would – grabbed a stupid pen and stupid paper. Forget fancy apps today.
Sat down and listed every single tiny task swirling in my head. Didn’t try to make it neat, just brain-dumped it all. Filled a whole page – client emails, that blog outline half-finished, invoices, even remembering to call the dang plumber. Looked overwhelming as hell.
Took a deep breath. Started grouping things: “Urgent”, “Important (but can wait a bit)”, “Annoying Admin Stuff.” Still a mess, but clearer. Then, went brutal. Picked ONLY three things for today. Just three. The most critical ones. Wrote them big on a sticky note and slapped it right under my screen. Felt weirdly better instantly. Like I wasn’t trying to fight a whole army alone.
The “Love” Angle Later On
Honestly? Almost forgot this part. Got sucked into my “three things.” Then, around lunch, my stupid phone pinged. It was an old college friend I hadn’t talked to properly in ages. Just some random meme. Normally, I’d maybe send a quick “lol” or nothing. But that “rekindle connections” line echoed. Probably cosmic mumbo-jumbo, but what the hell.
Didn’t overthink it. Just sent a proper message back. Asked how he really was. Mentioned something specific I remembered he was working on months back. Hit send before my Virgo brain could analyze it to death. Felt kinda vulnerable? But also… fine. He replied right away, seemed genuinely happy I reached out like that. Ended up having a surprisingly good little catch-up chat. Didn’t plan for that at all.
How Today Actually Felt
Didn’t magically conquer the world. But it felt… grounded. That focus on just doing my three critical work things? Got two done solidly, made a solid dent in the third. Didn’t feel scattered all day like usual.
The whole friend thing? Just a small chat, but it was good. Felt like less weight. Reminded me relationships aren’t always these massive efforts, just showing you remember matters.
So yeah, the horoscope advice wasn’t some profound revelation. More like little nudges. Do the groundwork. Prioritize ruthlessly. Reach out simply, honestly. Those tiny actions added up to a day that didn’t feel like a complete write-off for once. Virgo practicality wins again, mostly. Still gotta call that plumber tomorrow…
