Posted by This Monday morning, I woke up groggy, coffee in hand, nearly spilling it on my laptop. In that dazed state, an idea struck me: Why not write my own “Virgo Weekly Horoscope”? Not to become some astrology expert, but to see if I could turn my understanding of Virgos into something useful and lighthearted.
First, Figure Out What Virgos Are Like
I opened my browser and looked up some information. Virgos are typically serious, methodical, prone to worrying about small things, and very practical. They often put too much pressure on themselves to achieve perfection, which can lead to physical exhaustion and overthinking in relationships.
I jotted down these traits, but felt writing just this was too vague, like slapping on a template. I wanted to write something genuinely helpful for Virgos, not empty platitudes like “good things will happen today.”
Starting to ‘Seriously’ Write the Horoscope
I pretended to be a zodiac detective and checked the planetary positions (though I don’t really understand them):
- Mercury governs communication, and it seems pretty stable this week;
- Mars is somewhere, roughly meaning “don’t rush too much”;
- Most importantly: Stop overthinking the same thing! — Isn’t that Virgo’s biggest flaw?
To make it look more professional, I even opened Canva (a graphic design site) and spent 20 minutes finding a nice starry sky image. I paired it with my go-to dark blue and gold colors. Finishing the design gave me a real sense of accomplishment.
Some Practical Advice
I decided to keep it simple and direct, avoiding vague language. The final content looked something like this:
- Work: Monday and Tuesday are best for tackling that paperwork you’ve been putting off (like filling out forms or organizing emails). Stop procrastinating—get it done early and feel lighter.
- Health: If you keep saying “I should get a checkup,” schedule it this week. Don’t just jot “drink more water” in your phone notes—actually do it!
- Relationships: Thursday is a good day for heart-to-heart talks. Don’t overthink what you want to say and end up saying nothing. Being direct often works better.
- Finances: Around Friday, money matters will stabilize—no need to worry.
After finishing this horoscope, I spotted a spelling error—I typed “recieve” instead of “receive.” Fixed it immediately. Virgos would definitely frown at such a slip-up (lol).
Feeling a bit nervous after hitting send
On Tuesday afternoon, I posted this horoscope online, hit “share,” then stared at my phone while sipping coffee.
Within minutes, the first comment arrived: “Wait, isn’t Mercury retrograde?”
Oh no! I totally forgot about that. I quickly replied: “Not this week—next month!”—pretending to be professional while panicking inside.
Why am I doing this?
Honestly, job hunting has been exhausting lately. Scrolling through job sites daily, sending resumes, waiting for replies—it feels like I’m being drained. Writing these “useless” little horoscopes has become my way to unwind. It lets me temporarily forget about resumes and stressful interviews.
Plus, when I wrote “Virgos, don’t stress too much—give yourself permission to rest,” I was really talking to myself. After finishing this piece, I actually felt five minutes lighter.
Final Thoughts
I’m not an astrologer, nor do I expect to make money from this. But sometimes, taking time for lighthearted, creative little things helps us catch our breath from daily pressures. If you’re a Virgo or have Virgo friends, remind them: Things don’t have to be perfect to be good. Getting to 80% is already fantastic.
After all, life isn’t an exam—you don’t need to ace every test.
