Leather Jacket (source: Simons)

Mercury entered my second house just a few hours ago. Mars moves into that part of my chart tomorrow morning, and about a week from now, the sun will join it there.

I’ve been pretty disciplined when it comes to shopping for things I don’t need lately. I only brought back a couple of things from Las Vegas and they weren’t even that expensive. However, I did tell myself that if I found the “right” black leather coat while I was there, that I would make that investment.

It’s a good thing that I didn’t because I just discovered this black leather coat at Simons, a fabulous Canadian department store that is just a few minutes away from my house. I’m going to go try it on this coming Thursday. The best thing about Simons is that you can find something you like and stalk it until it goes on sale. No one spends money on clothes in this city, so almost everything Simons brings into their designer department eventually goes on sale.

I will plan to purchase it if it looks good on me. Other than that jacket, though, I don’t really need to be buying anything else for a while. I’ve got everything I need, so I suppose that I should resolve to spend this upcoming month focused upon my self-worth rather than my actual worth.

The second house rules over both, and I’ll have both the mental focus and the physical energy to devote to this resolution while Mercury and Mars are joining the sun in this sector of my horoscope. In some ways, I’m already anticipating this shift in the stars. Last week, for instance, I rediscovered my home gym and treadmill after months of ignoring them in favor of the gym. I have the tools to be working out every day, and it’s actually kind of nice to turn on the TV while I’m getting some exercise.

I believe that I can stick to this plan. Saturn goes direct right around the time the sun moves into my second house, and November’s new moon occurs a degree away from my natal Neptune, so I’ve got that going for me, as well. Maybe I’ll actually figure out a way to reduce my debt load while learning to be satisfied with what I already have.

I can dream, can’t I?
