Day 17: Post about your zodiac sign, and whether or not it fits you.
Well, I am a Virgo. So born between August 23 and September 22, so far it’s right. It also says here that Virgo is an earth sign, and it says here that this sign is solid, reliable, practical and stoic. Hmm, yeah I am solid, reliable and practical. Not sure about the stoicism, I mean after what happened to my life these past months I don’t think I really endured those haha.
“Virgos are blessed with a powerful intelligence AND equally cursed with a leaning towards self-criticism and judgment.“
Well I won’t say I’m that I am intelligent but I am smart, and I do agree on the self-criticism and judgmental, and yes it is a curse. I think that’s something I have felt all throughout my life. The self-loathing from mistakes. So far it still fits.
“They are not their own BFF by default, and it can take gentle Virgo a long time to curb this savage inner judge. That said, this perfectionism can drive them to heights of achievement, fame and success which other, more laid-back, star signs can only dream of.“
Ahh, this I can agree is me. I still have this feeling that everything that I do should be perfect in every way. I mean, nothing’s perfect, but I have this trait that things should always go the way it should be, in my mind, and that if one thing does not work, I feel like that the rest won’t work so I end up scrapping the whole thing. Yep, totally me.
Okay, according to cosmopolitan, yes it is my source, I’ll put an APA citation at the end of this don’t you worry. So, according to them, typical Virgo traits are discriminating (judge-y), modest (impostor syndrome), hardest worker in the room (control freak), and helpful (martyr).
Okay yes I am a bit... judgmental most of the time, and not just to myself but also to other people. Modest, yes, and I do feel bad for saying I am humble, is that being humble? Saying that I’m humble? Is that a humble brag? And i think that’s that impostor syndrome talking. Hardest worker, hmmmm, this not really, I don’t see myself a very productive person and a control freak, I’m a bit passive when it comes to most things actually, so this is not me. Helpful yes, I do really like helping people. There’s this feeling of fulfillment when I get to help people, but martyr not really.
Googling their symptoms (hypochondria), taking classes, Marie Kondo’ing anything that moves, volunteering, and beautifying themselves.
Googling my symptoms, ehhh not really. I rarely check what’s wrong with me physically, though I do remember having my heart checked cos I felt that is just palpitates randomly, but I never really went back to check if there was realy something wrong with me so there’s that.
Taking classes, yes. I mean I haven’t been attending but I really do love learning. I have been planning to study again and learn another course, Architecture or get a master’s degree or my undergraduate course. So yes, I love taking classes, I’d love to take one.
“Marie Kondo’ing anything that moves”. Okay, no. Like really, I rarely do this. If you see my room it’s just a mess of cables and instruments and amps and stuff. I mean yeah, maybe one day I’ll do that but I’m not the type of person who would do this often. So it’s a no for this one.
Volunteering. Well I haven’t been volunteering much these past few months. So not really something I’m into.
Beautifying themselves. Oh god yes, a big yes. I mean I love just wearing things that make me fashionable, but only when it matters. I mean right now I’m very comfortable wearing this pullover with a checkered polo underneath with denim pants and a Mickey Mouse Vans. I wouldn’t call this fashionable really but I feel that I look good. I think I’d love to have someone that can help me be fashionable. So yeah, I’d love to beautify myself.
Okay, conclusion. I’m a Virgo for somethings only. I wouldn’t call myself a pure Virgo if you ask me. And if you ask me if my zodiac sign fits me, yeah, I guess so to some extent.
And as promised, the reference.
