Lately, my feed has been flooded with posts from an astrology platform called Astrolis. The headline read “Daily Love Tips for Virgos.” At first, I thought: More of the same old stuff? But then I figured, why not give it a shot? I've got nothing better to do. Who knows, it might actually work?
Turns out, over the course of the week, I actually followed their five suggestions and did some small things. Surprisingly, some of these seemingly silly approaches quietly changed how my partner and I interact. Below, I'll share my real experiences in plain language, one tip at a time.
1. Don't Bottle Up Your Feelings—Just Speak Up
The first piece of advice was: “Express what you're feeling.”
Honestly, my first thought was: Who doesn't know that? But upon reflection, I realized I often bottled up minor annoyances. Like the night before, when my partner forgot to turn off the light, it bothered me, but I never said anything.
The next morning at breakfast, I casually mentioned, “Hey, that thing last night kind of annoyed me.” “ My tone was light, and I wasn't looking for an argument. They paused for a moment and said, ”Huh? I honestly didn't notice.“ We chatted briefly about it, and that was that.
The amazing thing is, even though the issue wasn't ”resolved," I felt much lighter. It turns out that sometimes speaking up isn't about changing the other person, but about freeing yourself from overthinking.
2. Talk About Your “Silly Dreams” for the Future
The second suggestion is: “Talk together about your dreams for the future.”
When I first saw it, I thought it sounded a bit awkward—who just randomly brings that up? But one day while washing dishes, I mustered up the courage to ask, “Remember how we talked about spending a few days together in that coastal town?”
I wasn't planning to book tickets right away—it was just a casual mention. To my surprise, they paused, smiled, and said, “You still remember that?” Then we actually started discussing it seriously—like “should we stay in a B&B or a hotel?” and “should we bring the dog?”... As we talked, it felt like we were back to that carefree, hopeful state from when we first started dating.
Turns out, occasionally chatting about these “unrealistic” ideas can actually bring you closer.
3. Occasionally do something “unplanned”
The third suggestion says: “Do something spontaneous together.”
As a typical Virgo, I absolutely love planning—what time to leave, what to eat, the route to take—everything needs to be arranged in advance. So “spontaneity” felt like pushing my limits.
But on the way home from work that day, I suddenly said to my partner, “Let's skip cooking tonight—how about burgers?” They looked surprised but quickly smiled and said, “Sure!”
We went to a cheap little place nearby. The decor was nothing special, but the atmosphere was incredibly relaxed. With no plans and no expectations, we actually had a blast. Turns out, letting go of control every now and then can make life surprisingly fun.
4. Listen More, Offer Less Advice
The fourth piece of advice really resonated with me: “Listen more, talk less.”
I admit I always feel compelled to “help solve problems.” For instance, when someone complains about annoying coworkers, my mind immediately jumps to a bunch of solutions—I practically want to whip up a spreadsheet teaching them how to handle it.
But this time, I held back. I simply said, “Wow, that really sucks,” and listened intently until they finished. Surprisingly, they opened up more and even said, “Thanks for listening to me.”
That’s when I realized: often, what people need isn’t an answer—it’s someone willing to listen.
5. Clear Out Emotional Baggage
The final piece of advice was unique: “Process memories tied to past relationships.”
That day, an old chat log popped up on my phone, stirring up a flurry of emotions. Before, I’d pretend not to see it. But this time, I took a deep breath and deleted all those old conversations.
Afterward, I felt a bit silly, yet strangely, a weight lifted from my heart. Not because I'd forgotten the past, but because I'd stopped letting it disrupt my present life.
Summary: Small Changes, Big Impact
Honestly, some of Astrolis' suggestions sound a bit like “feel-good platitudes,” and others felt unnatural to me. For instance, “being spontaneous” remains challenging, and deleting old messages might not suit everyone.
But this week’s experiment showed me: Love doesn’t need fancy tricks. Sometimes it’s just about saying one more word, listening for one more minute, or mustering the courage to face your own emotions—and quietly, the relationship improves.
If you’re a Virgo too, or struggling with love, pick one or two to try. Don’t aim for perfection—it’s okay to be clumsy. Because genuine connection is what truly moves us.
