Alright so I stumbled upon that 2021 Virgo love horoscope thing last Tuesday while scrolling through some astrology blogs. Thought “hey, why not actually give this a shot?” since my dating life’s been kinda dry lately. Grabbed a coffee, plopped on my couch, and started digging into what it said Virgos should expect.
Prepping Like a True Virgo
First thing the horoscope mentioned? Practicality over passion. Typical Virgo stuff. Decided I needed a game plan. Wrote down all the advice bullet points:
- Slow down – stop rushing into things
- Analyze vibes first – don’t ignore red flags
- July’s communication hiccups – Mercury retrograde nonsense
- Autumn energy shift – serious partners might pop up
Made a dumb little chart in my notebook like a total nerd. Highlighted September because apparently planets were aligning better then or whatever.
Putting It Into Practice
Tried the “slow down” tip right away. Matched with this guy Ryan on Bumble last Thursday. Normally I’d fire off flirty texts immediately. Instead? I waited. Like, actually closed the app and finished my laundry first. Felt weird but… kinda freeing?
Met for coffee Saturday. Horoscope screamed “ANALYZE VIBES” in my head. So instead of just nervously sipping latte, I paid attention. Noticed he kept checking his phone. Virgo radar pinged. Cut the date short at 45 minutes. Old me would’ve ignored it and scheduled date two. New me? Blocked his number Sunday morning when he sent a midnight “u up?” text.
Mid-July rolled around. Mercury went wonky just like the stars predicted. Absolute disaster week. Misread a text from Sarah (date #3) about meeting Friday. Showed up at 7 PM. She meant 7 AM for sunrise yoga. Yeah. We both stood there squinting at each other like confused moles. Totally ghosted each other after that.
The Autumn Shift?
September hit. Honestly forgot about the whole horoscope thing until my buddy Dave asked about my “Virgo experiment.” Then bam – met Clara at a friend’s BBQ. Unlike others, zero games. Straight-up told me she hated astrology but loved my potato salad. We’ve been chilling every weekend since.
So did the stars get it right? Mostly. July was trash. Autumn did bring better energy. But forcing myself to be observant? That legit changed everything. Still side-eyeing Mercury though.
