Alright so today’s horoscope vibes looked super interesting for September 20th. Said something about Mercury being chill for once and Virgo energy making stuff organized. Figured why not try it? Sounds like a decent day to actually get my life together instead of chasing my tail like usual.
The Stupid Early Morning Start
Woke up way before sunrise – like 5 AM – which felt totally nuts. Dragged myself outside, still half-asleep, clutching my coffee mug like a lifeline. Supposedly the moon hanging low helps set intentions. Stood there yawning in my pajamas thinking, “Okay universe, gimme that clear-headed Virgo magic or I swear I’m going back to bed.” Felt kinda dumb talking to the sky, honestly.
Writing Stuff Down & The Planner Disaster
Mercury likes words, right? Grabbed this dusty journal I bought months ago. Tried to write down three things I wanted to focus on today. First one? Easy. “Fix the leaky kitchen faucet.” Second? “Be less annoyed by Karen in accounting.” Third? Blank. Brain totally froze. Stared at the paper for ten minutes feeling stupid. Finally scrawled “Remember to buy milk.” Super deep stuff. Looked at my messy planner. Tried organizing it Virgo-style – color-coded tabs, neat sections. Ended up spilling coffee on it. Classic. At least I cleaned the sticky mess up immediately. Small Virgo win?
Actual Work: Using Mercury’s “Chill”
Emails usually make me wanna scream. Mercury’s supposed to be calm today? Okay, fine. Took a breath before opening the inbox. Saw a request that normally would trigger a rant. “Can you provide the TPS reports again? Seems lost.” Ugh. Instead of firing back something sarcastic, I literally paused. “Alright, Mercury… be chill.” Typed out a simple “Sure, attached!” email. Hit send. Felt… weirdly okay. Didn’t fix the lost report problem, but hey, zero stress. Not my circus today. Weird.
Later, tackled the leaky faucet. Normally I’d put it off forever. But that Virgo “get stuff done” energy? Actually nudged me. Watched a YouTube tutorial (don’t judge), turned off the water, took it apart. Found a worn washer. Swapped it out using that random plumbing kit I impulse-bought ages ago. No leaks. Actually fixed something. Felt like a Virgo god for five minutes.
Winding Down & Reflecting
Evening time. Horoscope mentioned reflecting. Sat outside. Nothing fancy. Thought about the day:
- Didn’t yell at Karen (major win)
- Fixed the drip-drip-drip that was driving me nuts
- Didn’t immediately snap at that email
- Bought milk (crucial)
Did it feel like cosmic energy flowing through me? Nah. Not really. More like… a slightly less messy Tuesday. Maybe focusing on that Mercury/Virgo combo just made me pause a second before reacting and actually handle one small annoying task. Less woo-woo, more useful? Probably. Will I do the whole 5 AM moon thing again tomorrow? Hell no. But paying attention to the vibes? Maybe gave me a tiny nudge to act a bit less chaotic. That’s probably the point.
