The November 2019 Grind
I remember sitting down for this one, trying to figure out what the heck I was going to write for the Virgo forecast. It was late October 2019, and honestly, everything in my own life felt sideways. I had this self-imposed deadline to get the content out early that month, and the pressure was on. Not from anyone else, just me. My usual routine of grabbing a cup of bad coffee and clearing the decks felt extra heavy that morning. I had this nagging feeling that November was going to be a big deal, and if I missed the mark for my readers, they’d never let me forget it. Virgos remember details, you know?
So, I opened up the charts. Not the fancy professional stuff, just the basic, slightly cracked software that looked like it was designed in the 90s. I scrolled, I zoomed, and I focused only on the Earth signs. I saw Saturn pushing hard, and Mars acting all dramatic, like a moody teenager. It was clear that this wasn’t going to be one of those gentle, soft-focus months. This was going to be an intense clean-out. I started typing up the early paragraphs, talking about work ethic and organizing the kitchen drawers, the usual stuff they love, but I felt like I was missing the real punch.
Spotting the Glitch, Finding the Date
I kept messing with the degrees, trying to find the point where things really shifted. I was looking for a minor opposition, something they could use to plan their month. Instead, I saw a major square—a massive energy conflict—that hit right at the middle of the month. It wasn’t just a bump; it was a wall. A point where you simply had to make a decision, had to show up, or risk everything falling apart. It was a date that couldn’t be ignored. I leaned back in my cheap office chair and thought, “Holy cow, I need to make this loud.”
I immediately highlighted it and wrote the phrase: The Crucial Date You Need to Mark! I knew that was the headline. It wasn’t an optimistic prediction; it was a warning and a call to action. I felt the energy of that transit in the room, it was that palpable. I started structuring the rest of the forecast around that date, turning everything leading up to it into a prep phase, and everything after it into a recovery and evaluation phase. That was the practice: find the single, unavoidable pivot point and make the entire month’s advice revolve around it. I wasn’t just writing a forecast; I was building a strategy document for November.
My Own Breakdown and The Push
The night I finally finished the first full draft, my internet decided to go completely dead. Just nothing. I was in a panic. I needed to upload the graphic and proofread the final text one last time. I grabbed the laptop, threw on a jacket, and drove down to the twenty-four-hour diner just to use their terrible Wi-Fi. I sat in a sticky booth at 2 AM, chugging cold coffee, trying to focus on Virgo’s career path while the cook was yelling orders. My own life was a mess, and here I was, detailing someone else’s cosmic destiny.
It was then I realized the true irony of my work. I was telling Virgos they had to face their biggest hurdle, while I was literally facing mine—this ridiculous technical failure threatening my livelihood. I forced myself to simplify the text. No fancy words, no escaping the truth of that specific date. I made my list of key takeaways right there in the diner:
- Get all your paperwork sorted before the 15th.
- Don’t make any big purchases that week.
- Speak your mind, even if it feels uncomfortable.
- Plan for the worst, and you’ll manage the rest.
I hit the ‘publish’ button right as the sun was starting to come up, paid my bill, and went home to crash. I felt totally spent.
The Response That Hit Home
What happened next was what made this specific November 2019 forecast stick in my head. The moment it went live, the emails and comments started flooding in. People weren’t just reading it; they were reacting. One person wrote a long story about how they had been putting off a hard conversation with their boss, and reading my prediction about that ‘Crucial Date’ gave them the kick they needed to do it. Another person said they had actually planned a trip right around that date, saw the warning, and rescheduled it, which saved them a huge headache with a family issue.
But the real kicker for me was personal. I had been waiting for months for an answer on a housing situation—a huge, complicated thing that was stressing me out daily. I swear to you, the approval email came through on that exact date I had marked as ‘Crucial’ in the Virgo forecast. It wasn’t a bad day for me; it was the day the tension finally broke. The universe was playing a joke, or maybe it was just showing me that the energy I charted out for others was the same energy I was dealing with. That practice—pushing through the mess in the diner, getting the raw truth out there—it directly linked to my own outcome. It taught me that sometimes, the hardest stuff you put into your work is exactly what ends up saving you, too. I still have the stained paper napkin from that diner where I wrote those key takeaways down.
