Man, sometimes you just get a bee in your bonnet, you know? Back in late spring, early summer of 2021, I got this wild idea stuck in my head. A friend, total Virgo, was going through some stuff, real rough patch. And I thought, hey, wouldn’t it be neat if I could, like, put together a little something for her, a horoscope for June. Not just some generic online blurb, but something I actually tried to understand and piece together myself. That’s where it all started, just a simple thought to cheer someone up.
Getting Started: Diving into the Stardust
First thing I did was open up my laptop. I didn’t know squat about astrology beyond my own sign, let alone for a specific month and another person’s sign. So I just typed “Virgo June 2021 astrology” into the search bar. Hit enter and a whole world popped up. I started wading through the results. There were so many sites, some looking super professional, others like someone’s personal blog from 2005. I skipped a lot of the really vague ones, you know, the “you might have a good day” type of stuff.
I was looking for something more solid. I clicked around, trying to find places that talked about planetary movements, transits, aspects – all these words I barely understood. I saw “Mercury in Gemini” and “Venus entering Cancer.” Sounded important, so I started making mental notes. My goal wasn’t to become an astrologer overnight, just to collect enough pieces to make some kind of coherent picture for June 2021 specifically for a Virgo.
Wrestling with the Cosmic Calendar
This part felt like trying to solve a puzzle with a thousand tiny pieces, and half of them were upside down. I found a few sites that actually had astrological calendars for June 2021. I hunted down where Mercury was, where Venus was, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. And then I had to figure out what those positions meant for Virgo. Like, if Mercury was doing something in a certain “house,” what did that usually mean for a Virgo person?
I started a simple text file, just jotting down dates and planets. For example, “June 2nd, New Moon in Gemini” or “June 20th, Summer Solstice, Sun enters Cancer.” Then I tried to find explanations for what those events generally signified. I looked for stuff like “What does Mercury in Gemini mean for a Virgo in their 10th house?” It was a lot of cross-referencing. I spent hours just bouncing between tabs, trying to connect dots that didn’t always seem to want to connect.
Building the Narrative: From Bits to a Story
After a couple of days of just piling up information, I had a messy collection of notes. I had keywords like “communication,” “career,” “relationships,” “home life,” “inner reflection.” Now came the trickier part: shaping it into a narrative. I wanted it to sound encouraging, but also somewhat realistic, covering different areas of life for a Virgo.
I started with the major transits at the beginning of June and tried to imagine what that might feel like. I’d write a sentence, then reread it, thinking, “Does this make sense? Does it sound too general?” I’d try to tie together the themes. For instance, if Mercury was in Gemini, and a full moon was happening later in the month affecting communication, I’d try to weave that into a thread about “clearing the air” or “important conversations.” It was like building a story, but with cosmic ingredients.
I focused on areas like work and professional life, personal relationships, health and well-being, and internal growth. I’d split the month into a few phases – early June, mid-June, late June – because things shift. I tried to use verbs that implied action and growth, not just passive experiences. It was about giving some direction without making it sound like a prophecy, more like a guide.
The Final Touch and What I Learned
When I finally felt like I had something resembling a “detailed Virgo monthly horoscope for June 2021,” I read it all through. I tried to make sure the tone was consistent and it flowed well. It felt chunky, not super smooth like the ones you read in magazines, but it was my chunky. It was assembled with my own hands from bits and pieces I gathered.
I realized a few things during this whole escapade. One, astrologers put in a lot more work than I ever gave them credit for. Two, synthesizing information into something coherent and helpful is way harder than just finding the data. And three, sometimes the simplest gestures, even if they’re a bit clumsily put together, mean the most. I printed it out, put it in an envelope, and gave it to my friend. She smiled. That was the real win for me, just seeing that smile.
