My Wednesday Night Ritual
Right after finishing dinner around 7 PM, like I always do on the last Wednesday of the month, I grabbed my coffee and plopped down in my favorite worn-out armchair. You see, that’s when Susan Miller usually drops her AstrologyZone updates. I’m not superstitious, but heck, reading Virgo’s forecast for May became this little comfort thing for me. Pulled up my phone first – nothing yet on her site. Checked Instagram. Nada. Even peeked at my email spam folder just in case. Still zilch.
Playing the Refresh Game
So yeah, I ended up hitting refresh on my browser every ten minutes. Washed the dishes. Hit refresh. Folded laundry. Hit refresh. Scrolled through cat videos for a bit. Hit refresh again. Seriously felt like waiting for a delayed train! Finally, close to 8:30 PM, the May forecast popped up. Took a big gulp of cold coffee and started skimming past Aries, Taurus, Gemini… scrolling way too fast until I spotted that familiar Virgo symbol. My sign. Felt like finding the last slice of pizza.
Breaking Down the Virgo Vibes
Susan’s got a thing for details, so I knew I had to read this slow. Here’s basically what my highlighted notes looked like by the end:
- Work & Career Chaos: She talked about stuff heating up around May 7th. My brain instantly went “Uh oh,” thinking about that huge project pitch scheduled that week. Miller advises to “document everything” – guess I’ll be living in my notes app extra hard.
- Money Moves: Some unexpected expense might pop up? Lovely. Her tip was basically “don’t panic, just tweak your budget quietly.” Made a mental note to finally cancel that streaming service I barely use.
- Health & Habits: Classic Virgo stuff – focus on routines! She specifically mentioned digestion. Glanced down at my half-empty coffee cup. Yeah, maybe cutting back a tiny bit wouldn’t kill me.
- Love & Talking: With Mercury doing its usual backwards dance later in May, communication gets tricky. Miller was basically like “double-check emails & texts before hitting send.” Could’ve saved me last month’s embarrassing typo to my boss.
Putting Tips in My Pocket
Finished reading around 9 PM. Didn’t feel earth-shattering, but honestly, it’s more like getting gentle reminders from a wise friend. Here’s the practical stuff I’m actually gonna try:
- Marked May 7th on my physical planner with a big red star AND set a reminder on my phone. “Document Everything.”
- Scheduled some quiet time next Sunday afternoon just for organizing my budget and trimming subscriptions. Found a new budgeting app to try.
- Swapped my late-night coffee tonight for chamomile tea. Baby steps. Also dusted off my old water bottle.
- Enabled the “undo send” feature on my email. Seriously, how did I not do this sooner?
Wrapping Up My Virgo Homework
Closed all the browser tabs around 9:30 PM. Coffee cup was definitely empty by then. Do I think everything she wrote will happen exactly? Nah. But reading it makes me feel more ready, you know? Like looking at a weather forecast – you grab an umbrella even if the sun’s shining now. May feels a little less intimidating with some pointers in my back pocket. Now… let’s see if I actually remember to follow my own advice when the planetary mess hits the fan later this month. And please universe, no surprise bills.
