Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into this whole “Virgo archetype” thing lately, and let me tell you, it’s been a bit of a wild ride. I started by, you know, just casually Googling it. I’d heard the term thrown around, and I’m a Virgo rising, so I figured I should probably know what’s up.
First thing I did? I made a list. Gotta stay organized, right? That’s the Virgo way! I jotted down all the classic Virgo traits I could think of: analytical, practical, detail-oriented, helpful, critical… you get the picture. Then I started comparing that list to, well, myself.
Honestly I spent maybe a few hours this morning doing that. Felt a bit weird to examine myself!
My Little Experiment
- Woke up early, like always. No alarm needed, my internal clock is ridiculously punctual.
- Immediately made my bed. Can’t stand starting the day with an unmade bed. It just feels…wrong.
- Headed to the kitchen and made coffee. Measured the grounds precisely, of course. No eyeballing it for me.
- While the coffee was brewing, I wiped down the counters. They weren’t even that dirty, but…details.
- Then I sat down with my coffee and my notebook and started journaling. Tried to analyze my dreams from last night, because apparently, that’s a very Virgo thing to do.
- Spent about an hour just writing down everything, every single feelings I felt last night.
The rest of the day was pretty similar. I tackled my to-do list with a vengeance, color-coded my calendar (yes, really), and even reorganized my spice rack alphabetically. I know, I know, it sounds a bit much, but it actually made me feel calmer and more in control.
The most interesting part? I decided to pay extra attention to how I interacted with other people. Virgos are supposedly known for being helpful, but also sometimes critical. I caught myself a few times wanting to offer unsolicited advice, or point out a tiny flaw in someone’s plan. I bit my tongue, though. I’m working on being more mindful of how my words might land on others.
By the end of the day, I was pretty exhausted, but also kind of…satisfied. It’s like I’d been living out this archetype without even fully realizing it. It’s not all perfect, of course. The overthinking and the perfectionism can be a real struggle. But embracing the positive aspects – the organization, the helpfulness, the attention to detail – that actually felt pretty good.
So, that’s my little Virgo archetype experiment. It’s ongoing, obviously. I’m still learning and growing. But it’s been a fun way to explore myself and understand my tendencies a little bit better. And hey, at least my spice rack is super organized now!
