I really need to be careful about what comes out of my mouth over the next couple of days, especially when I go back to work tomorrow. I have two new bosses!

I’m actually quite thrilled with the prospect. I was ready to walk out the door earlier this year. Now my old boss (the one that left temporarily) will be moving into a newly-created position as my direct supervisor, and a colleague of mine that I adore will be filling in the management position that she vacated about a year ago.

Both of these individuals know that I have a big mouth and that I often talk shit about people who don’t pull their own weight as a coping mechanism. That can be a bad thing in a professional environment, but someone has to do it. There’s nothing more toxic to a workplace than a culture where everyone is afraid to give an honest opinion to their supervisors. Loudmouths like me keep everyone else on their toes!

The sun will be opposing my natal Mercury early tomorrow morning, meaning that there is tremendous potential for me to say all the wrong things, but I don’t think I have anything to worry about. Mercury also enters my ninth house tomorrow later in the day. I imagine that my new bosses will be too busy to sit down with me until Tuesday, anyway, and by then the cosmic dynamics of this situation will have changed.

All the same, I’m going to try to hold back a bit before I start opening my big mouth again. While I have a few planets making harmonious aspects to my ascendant this week, enhancing my ability to be pleased with myself despite my shortcomings, I still don’t want to rub anyone the wrong way. So, on this morning when a new moon just occurred, I’m going to take the opportunity to declare to the universe that I’m going to think twice before I blurt out whatever is on my mind — at least for now. The stars are on my side at the moment, and I don’t need to ruin this astrologically-blessed time in my life because I just can’t keep my thoughts to myself.
