My love life was a predictable cycle of hitting up the same old dating apps, swiping left and right until my thumb was numb, and then getting into these chats that went absolutely nowhere. Or worse, actually going on dates that felt like job interviews, trying to dissect every word, overthinking every emoji. As a Virgo, I prided myself on my analytical skills, but in dating, it was just making me miserable. I was stuck, feeling cynical, and honestly, pretty much convinced that I was doomed to a life of really great Netflix binges and takeout, you know? I’d tried everything – going to meetups, letting friends set me up, even tried a cooking class once. Nothing stuck. I was just tired of the whole song and dance.
So, May rolls around. I’m having my morning coffee, scrolling through some news sites, and an article pops up, something about monthly horoscopes. Usually, I’d just scroll past, but for whatever reason, I clicked. And there it was, the Virgo love horoscope for May 2017. It talked about “embracing the unexpected,” “letting go of control,” and how “old connections might reappear in a new, meaningful light.” My first thought? “Yeah, right. Like that’s ever gonna happen.” My second thought, though, was a tiny, barely audible whisper in the back of my mind: “What if?” It didn’t feel like magic, more like a challenge to my usual, highly structured Virgo approach to everything.
I decided, almost on a dare to myself, to try something different. A few days before May, an old acquaintance, someone I’d bumped into at a couple of group events months ago, had sent me a super casual message on social media – just a “hey, saw this, thought of you” kind of thing, sharing an article related to my work. My usual self? I would have over-analyzed it for two days, debated a response, probably drafted three versions, and then ended up not sending anything because I was too busy calculating its ulterior meaning. But this time, thanks to that horoscope rattling around in my head, I decided to just reply. Like, immediately. No overthinking. Just a quick, friendly “Thanks! That’s really interesting!” and a simple question back.
