Star Struck Style

Despite a few minor annoyances, my chart is looking good right now. In fact, I’m about to enter a seven-week phase where transiting Jupiter will not only trine my natal sun, but it will park itself in the sky just one minute away from an exact trine to my natal sun.

I sort of hate summer because I’m hot-blooded and the warm weather wears me out. But I love it when the nights get a little longer and the weather starts to cool down. My entire demeanor changes when I get up in the morning and there is a chill in the air. For that reason, this transit couldn’t come at a better time. My forecast on astro.com describes this uncommon alignment as follows:

“This is such a pleasant influence that you may be inclined to sit back, enjoy it and do nothing. However, this is really a very important time in your life because you can reach out into new areas of life and have new and rewarding experiences. Your creative potential is enormous at this time, and you can very easily accomplish a great deal that would be difficult at other times. Your inner energies are strong, and you are full of self-confidence and the feeling that you can do anything.

This influence usually indicates good health and a feeling of well-being, although you may be inclined to put on weight if you are not careful. You may not feel inclined toward physical activity, but it would be a good idea to get some exercise. Make a particular effort to be outdoors. Hiking is a very beneficial activity at this time.

If you are inclined to physical activity, especially athletics, don’t take foolish risks through overconfidence. This influence tends to make you overestimate your energies.

This is an excellent time for all financial matters. You will feel like making your surroundings appear more elegant, and you may spend quite a lot of money doing so. This is perfectly fine, and you should think positively in all ways, but don’t let this concern with material acquisition blind you to some very real possibilities for inner growth.

Travel, either physically or mentally, often accompanies this influence. Take this time to broaden your understanding of the world around you. You have a strong interest in ideas that are different from what you normally know and encounter, and you are much more tolerant of different ways of living. Even people’s usually irritating traits do not bother you at this time. Also your sense of humor is much greater than usual, and you can appreciate the dance of life in all its glory.”

While I am concerned that I “may be inclined to put on weight,” I am encouraged that my energy levels are likely to pick up just because they do this time of year. I can probably avoid that scenario. I am also encouraged that this aspect will recur for a short time in March next year. Maybe I should plan my spring trip to Las Vegas at that time. Hmmm . . .

Anyway, I’m going to have a look at what “Café Astrology” has to say about this transit. I’m curious about the notion that I might want to make my surroundings more elegant. That seems sort of out-of-the-blue to me, so I’m not sure where the author of the passage on astro.com came up with that prediction. Still, I’d be happy to know that I was about to spend the next two months sprucing up my yard. Having the time, the money and the energy to catch up with my yardwork would make me happy. In the meantime, I’m just going to thank my lucky stars that once I get through this week, there are nothing but good times in my immediate forecast.
