The Idea: Why I Had to Nail Down Virgo September 2022 So Early
You know how it is. Sometimes you just get this itch, this feeling that you need to get ahead of the curve. It was late August, and I was sitting at my messy desk, trying to sort out my own life, when I realized: September 2022 was going to be an absolute mess of conflicting energies. And who gets hit hardest right before their birthday cycle wraps up? Virgos. I had to do something about it. I decided right then and there I was going to pull apart the whole month and lay out the big stuff for anyone born under the sign. I needed them to read it and get their stuff together before the 1st hit. That was the mission.
Phase 1: Scrambling for the Basics
First thing I did? I ignored the fancy apps everyone uses. I always start with the physical stuff. I reached up and dragged down my big, beat-up astrology textbooks—the heavy ones that weigh a ton. I didn’t want generalized fluff; I wanted to see the exact degrees. I started with the movement of Mercury, because let’s be honest, for Virgos, Mercury retrogrades are a nightmare. I grabbed my highlighter and immediately pinned down the dates when Mercury was going to do its little dance. I knew if I missed that detail, the whole reading would be pointless.
I then switched gears and opened up my browser—just for cross-referencing, mind you. I scrolled through a few reliable calendar sources just to double-check the major lunations. I zeroed in on the Full Moon and the New Moon dates. For September 2022, I remember the Full Moon looked particularly aggressive in Pisces, which meant partnerships and boundaries were going to be a huge deal for the typical Virgo. I scribbled all these dates down on a huge whiteboard I keep behind my monitor. It looked like a conspiracy theory board, all red arrows and circle dates.
Phase 2: Defining the “Major Events”
It’s easy to write 5,000 words of generalized hope and doom. But I wanted practical, actionable content—the “major events” promised in the title. I had to filter out all the noise. I asked myself: What are people actually going to feel in their guts?
I decided to structure the post around three key areas:
- The Money Grind: September looked financially intense. I focused heavily on Mars squaring Neptune and how that might mess up budgets or lead to impulse spending. I hammered out three separate paragraphs dedicated just to advising caution around contracts.
- Relationship Pressure Cooker: That intense Pisces Full Moon couldn’t be ignored. I committed a whole section to partnership issues—not just romance, but work partnerships too. I specifically wrote about the need to set clear emotional boundaries.
- The Work Pivot: Since Virgo rules the house of daily work and routine, I knew the New Moon energy would push people to make changes. I didn’t just say “change jobs.” I broke down specific days people might feel a sudden urge to clean up their digital messes or completely restructure their schedules. I typed that section three times until it sounded grounded, not dramatic.
Phase 3: Writing the Final Draft and Hitting Publish
Once I had the raw notes, the writing itself went fast. I used my own personal, slightly blunt style. No flowery language. I wanted it to sound like I was sitting across the table, telling them, “Look, this is what’s coming, get ready.”
I spent a solid hour just on the opening few paragraphs, making sure I captured that sense of urgency: “Read this before the month starts!” That hook was everything. I emphasized that this wasn’t future guessing; this was current planetary mechanics demanding attention right now.
I proofread the whole thing myself—no fancy editor this time. Just me, squinting at the screen, checking every date, making sure I didn’t confuse the New Moon in Virgo with the Full Moon in Pisces. (Happens more often than you think when you’re dealing with charts.)
The final crucial step? I scheduled the post to go live exactly five days before September 1st, 2022. I didn’t wait until the last minute. The whole point was giving people runway. If they read it on the 3rd, it’s too late. They needed the warning. I hit the final confirmation button and watched the post upload. It felt great, like I’d just handed a map to a bunch of people about to walk into a misty forest.
I always save the rough drafts, too. Why? Because six months later, I go back and check. I’ll look at the comments and see if the Mercury caution actually stopped anyone from signing something stupid. That constant review of my own practical output is the only way I learn and get better at spotting these major shifts early. It’s not magic; it’s just showing up, doing the research, and sharing the honest, practical findings. That’s the real practice.
