Posted by Last night, my friend suddenly messaged me: “Can you check Virgo’s love horoscope for this week? Will the person I have a crush on reach out to me?”
At first, I thought it would be a breeze. I opened my laptop at 10 PM, thinking, “It’s just a few lines—done in ten minutes.”
The result? I ended up struggling for three whole hours and nearly scared my cat away.
1. Don’t Trust Those “High-End” Astrology Apps
I first downloaded several astrology apps recommended online, only to find each one more ridiculous than the last.
One app asked me right upon opening: “Please enter your exact birth time down to the minute.”
Seriously, I just wanted to know if my friend would get a reply from their crush this week—not have my past lives read!
Another app was even worse—nothing but pop-up ads: “Click to see your compatibility with them!” “Secrets 99% of people don’t know!”
My phone nearly froze, so I deleted it immediately.
2. Old Books Aren’t Reliable Either
Since apps were useless, I dug out a thick astrology book Aunt Carol gave me years ago.
The moment I opened it, dust flew everywhere, and the pages were practically crumbling. Page 37 split right in my hands.
The book was filled with terms like “rising sign,” “house aspects,” and “zodiac angles”—it felt like it was written for astronomers, not regular people.
Closing it, I felt like I’d just wrestled with a brick.
III. Three Websites, Three Predictions—Who to Believe?
No choice—I turned to free horoscope sites.
The chaos only deepened:
- Website A claimed: “Venus brings irresistible charm—Virgos will attract major attention this week!”
- Website B warned: “With Mercury retrograde, avoid sending flirty texts—and don’t expect replies if you do!”
- Website C countered: “Jupiter advises solitude this week—steer clear of romance.”
Staring at these three completely contradictory predictions, my coffee went cold.
Only one question lingered in my mind: Could this content truly help my friend? Or would it just make him more anxious?
Finally, I slammed my laptop shut in frustration. My cat sat on the couch, giving me a look of utter disdain, as if saying, “Why are you wasting your energy on this nonsense?”
IV. How Did I Finally Respond to My Friend?
After calming down, I called him directly and told him a few hard truths:
- If you like someone, just say, “Hey, how have you been?”
Don’t wait for “Venus to align” or “Mercury retrograde to end.” Relationships are built on action, not stargazing. - If they don’t reply, it’s not necessarily because their zodiac sign is bad.
Maybe they’re just busy, missed your message, or don’t know how to respond. Don’t jump to conclusions like “they don’t like me.” - Zodiac signs can be a reference, but they shouldn’t be your compass.
They’re like a weather forecast—they tell you it might rain today, but whether you bring an umbrella is still your call. - You’re in charge of your own love life
Zodiac signs won’t text for you, set up dates, or pay your bills. What truly shapes your relationship is how you treat your partner and express yourself.
V. What did I realize after writing this?
After tossing and turning all night, I finally figured it out:
Many people read horoscopes hoping someone will tell them “what to do” or “if they’ll succeed.”
But when it comes to love, there are no standard answers. Zodiac signs can offer some comfort, but they can’t live your life for you.
Instead of spending time analyzing “Will Virgos have good romantic luck this week?”, think carefully about:
- What do you want to say to that person?
- What are you willing to invest in this relationship?
- Are you prepared to face possible rejection?
These are the true “love horoscopes.”
So, if you’re a Virgo yourself, or if you care about someone who is—
Don’t get too hung up on what the stars say.
Your actions are the best horoscope.
