The Virgo Effect

I'm not a Virgo, but I am a Virgo. 

Eh?

I hang out with too many astrologers. I'm a Leo/Virgo - nicely cuspy born in the later part of August. 

But if you look at my chart (yeah, I know, gobbledygook to most) you'll see that I have five planets in Virgo. From Right to left, there's Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Pluto and Uranus, all in a row, bunched up like best mates on a beach blanket - unhappily opposing Saturn and trined with Neptune. 

I've got enough Virgo in my chart to make me a decent Virgo.



And what are Virgos? Pains in the arse who like making lists. Yep. 

They also make me a bit of a perfectionist at times. 

This isn't good - it's sometimes useful. 

Today I've been making training videos. An eye for detail, a lot of refining with AI, A lot of moving things around a video editor.

It's exhausting. It's exacting. 

My new best friend is Ryan (Multilingual-Australia), the voice I use to do the video voiceovers. He's on the app and takes direction well - in other words he one of the better voice-to-text voices. All you have to do is type in your commentary and he says it for you. Magic. 

Not really. It's a part of the job. I'm doing some pretty basic stuff - but it looks cool, and it's a skill I'm developing - even if the Virgo in me is berating me for not being perfect. 

Pity I can't show you - mind you, short training videos about banking applications aren't that interesting.
