Star Struck Style

I published a post about a month ago where I discussed my upcoming trip to Las Vegas in light of the new moon that was about to occur in my tenth house. In that post, I resolved to eat better, exercise more and be more-disciplined with my discretionary spending. I have been doing better, but I certainly haven’t been doing my best.

However, I get a do-over this August because Wednesday’s new moon in Leo also occurs in my tenth house — just like the last one! Wednesday also marks the two-month countdown to my trip.

Because I use Placidus houses, it’s not that uncommon for me to see a new moon or a full moon reoccur in this manner. My fourth and tenth houses are about 35° wide, so these cosmic events repeat themselves slightly more often than they do in the charts of individuals who use the whole sign house system. The same thing only happens to those people when the new moon or the full moon occurs in the first and last degrees of a particular sign.

But I digress! I’m going to take advantage of this second new moon in my house of discipline to work on my sense of self control. I don’t want to avoid the self-indulgent behavior that makes me happy, but I do want to find ways to feed the decadent side of my nature without feeling as if I’ve taken a step backwards every time I do something enjoyable. Right now, that means taking some “me time” every day where I can find some peace and quiet. My blog posts from the past couple of days have detailed how eager I am to get away from the noise that seems to pervade my world lately. To be honest, I just need to try a little harder to get away. Nothing is stopping me from finding my “happy place” but me.

So, that’s what I’m going to do. And I’m going to thank my lucky stars that I’m in a place where I can make this happen. Things are good in my universe right now. With this new moon on the horizon, I can make a plan to keep it that way.
