My Virgo 2024 Prep Work
Alright, so I knew I wanted to tackle the 2024 yearly guide for Virgos this month. First thing I did? Honestly? I spent way too long scrolling through different astrology sites and apps on my phone while still in bed. Gotta be honest, half of them sounded basically the same – vague stuff about “challenges” and “opportunities.” Felt pretty overwhelming.
Decided I needed a better system. Opened up my laptop, cracked open a spreadsheet – yeah, boring, I know. But it works! Made simple columns: Month, Main Themes, Key Dates, My Notes. Figured this way I could actually compare what different sources were really saying without losing my mind.
Started digging deeper, focusing on a couple of astrologers I kinda trust more than others. One highlighted Saturn’s influence big time for Virgos early in ’24, stressing organization. Another kept going on about Jupiter and partnerships later on. Honestly? Jotted it all down. Clicking between tabs like crazy, my coffee went cold twice. Didn’t plan that well, obviously.
Got really frustrated comparing predictions for April. One said “major career breakthrough,” another talked about “rethinking paths entirely.” Which one is it?! Took a deep breath, chugged the cold coffee – mistake – then dove back in. Looked for overlaps. The focus on relationships around June? That popped up everywhere. Same with potential money changes near October. Started bolding these common points in the spreadsheet. Felt like I was actually getting somewhere, finally.
Then came the real work: my spin. Just copying others felt cheap. So, based on my own past experiences as a Virgo (and oh man, we’ve had years!), I started adding my own practical twists to those broad predictions:
- For that June relationship buzz? My tip: Schedule monthly check-ins with your partner or main people. Don’t just hope it goes well.
- October money stuff? Seriously, start a basic budget tracker now. Virgos thrive on details!
- General Saturn “get organized” vibes? Pick one annoying system to fix each month – email, closet, digital files. One! Don’t try to overhaul your whole life.
Spent ages trying to simplify the language. Astrology jargon makes me cringe sometimes. Replaced “beneficial transits” with “looks like a good week for asking!” Printed out a draft. Scribbled all over it. Then finally, typed up the cleaner version, using that spreadsheet like my holy guide. Added a short intro explaining this was my research process. Hit publish. Relief!
Was it perfect? Nah. A few comments already pointed out I missed one Mercury retrograde date. But overall? Feels grounded. It’s my process: scour, compare, find patterns, add Virgo-friendly action steps. It’s messy work, looking for useful signals in the noise. But hey, that’s the point, right? It’s not magic, it’s homework.
