Posted by To be honest, I’ve always been skeptical about “horoscopes.” Every time I saw one, I’d mutter to myself, “Is this for real?” But last Monday morning, while sipping coffee, I spotted a Virgo-specific weekly advice piece on Astroyogi. Suddenly I thought: What’s the harm in trying? Worst case, it’s just wasted effort—but what if it actually works?
So I decided to follow it diligently for a week and see what happened.
This week’s advice was surprisingly simple
Astroyogi’s advice wasn’t complicated—just five points:
- Organize your workspace—don’t let papers pile up everywhere.
- Listen more, speak less—especially during meetings or chats, resist the urge to jump in.
- Connect with green—wear green clothes, look at plants, anything works.
- Tuesday is your power day—tackle tough tasks then, don’t avoid them.
- Double-check everything before sending—whether emails, texts, or shopping lists, take a second look instead of rushing.
Sounds pretty basic, right? But since I promised to try, I’ll tackle them one by one.
Step One: Organize Your Desk
My desk is usually a complete mess—papers, pens, charging cables all tangled together like a wind-blown haystack. On Monday morning, I spent a full hour tossing out useless papers, filing useful ones into folders, and wiping the surface spotless.
Afterward, I actually felt better! It was like wiping dust off a window—everything looked clearer. And for the next few days, I never had to rummage around for things, boosting my efficiency significantly.
Step 2: Learn to Shut Up and Listen
Tuesday is supposedly the “most energetic day,” and I had a team conference call that day. I usually jump in to speak, but this time I forced myself to stay silent and just listen.
Honestly, it felt incredibly awkward at first—like holding my breath. But gradually, I realized my colleagues were sharing genuinely valuable insights. I’d been too eager to speak up before to truly hear them. When my turn came, my comments were more focused. People seemed more willing to listen.
Green Clothes? Why Not
As for the “green is your lucky color” part, I didn’t buy anything new. I just dug out an old dark green T-shirt and wore it on Tuesday.
Did I suddenly get lucky? Nope.
But the color felt comfortable, and it lifted my mood. Maybe that’s the “psychological suggestion” effect—at least it reminded me I was sticking to the plan.
The Biggest Test: Client Presentation
Wednesday brought a crucial client presentation—something that usually makes me extremely nervous. This time, I employed my “double-check” strategy:
- Reviewed the slides three times, scrutinizing even punctuation;
- Cross-checked all data twice;
- Read the speech aloud to ensure smooth delivery.
Though my palms still sweated before stepping on stage, thorough preparation made the entire presentation run smoothly without a single mistake. The client even complimented my clarity. In that moment, I truly felt that “one extra check” was absolutely worth it.
Listening Isn’t Just About Your Ears
This week, I practiced “listening more” in other situations too:
- On Thursday, while waiting in line at a coffee shop, I put my phone away and listened to the people chatting nearby;
- On Friday, during dinner with my partner, I didn’t rush to interrupt him but waited until he finished speaking before responding.
The result? Conversations felt different. Before, chatting was like playing ping-pong—each person hitting back and forth without truly listening. Now it’s more like two people playing together, with a steadier rhythm and deeper connection.
What did I discover this week?
Honestly, following my horoscope didn’t make me rich overnight or turn me into a superhero. But it did bring some tangible benefits:
- A tidy desk made starting work each day feel lighter;
- Learning to listen not only improved my performance in meetings but also fostered better daily relationships;
- Double-checking prevented basic mistakes, especially in important situations;
- As for the green T-shirt? It’s just a piece of clothing, but wearing it reminded me I was actively trying to change.
What surprised me most: these so-called “luck-boosting tips” don’t rely on mystical powers—they improve your state by tweaking daily habits. Instead of waiting for “good fortune to strike,” proactively use small methods to elevate your performance.
Worth a Try?
If you’re a Virgo, or just feeling a bit disorganized and inefficient lately, give these simple methods a shot. No money needed, no complicated prep—just a willingness to tweak your behavior.
After all, luck isn’t always something you wait for—it’s often “earned” through small, incremental changes.
I started out just testing them out casually, but now I’ve genuinely developed good habits of organizing and checking things—that’s probably the biggest takeaway.
So don’t dismiss these seemingly “old-fashioned” suggestions. Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most effective.
