Star Struck Style

Here’s a photo of the cover for “Brand New Lover” by Dead or Alive. I was wild about this song back in 1986.

Anyway, the reason I have the track on my mind is the line that precedes the chorus: “I want surprises.” With Mars in Scorpio about to form an opposition with Uranus in Taurus tomorrow afternoon, I want surprises! I’d be delighted to have something exciting happen to me.

On the bright side, I’ve got the day off because it’s a holiday in Canada. In fact, I only work four times over the next several days because I am owed some time off. I’m going to make a point of enjoying myself and doing some things that I never get to do because I work almost every Saturday.

The funny thing about this alignment is that Mars will be simultaneously conjoining my natal Neptune tomorrow. I might be entirely delusional about what the universe is trying to tell me right now, and yet I’ll be very eager to act upon my impulses. “Café Astrology” confirms that prediction:

“The desire to act out a fantasy or to take action on a compassionate or idealistic level is very strong now. You may feel that nothing is impossible now, or you could find yourself acting on a whim. Your impulses and desires may be hard to explain or difficult to understand now. You could feel impatient or restless with your regular routines, and especially practical endeavors, and the desire for more glamor or drama in your life is strong. Inspiration can be found now. This transit favors dancing, swimming, photography, arts, and entertainment. It’s not good for practical or routine matters.”

I can thank my lucky stars that I’m going to have the whole weekend off, so that avoiding “practical or routine matters” will be easy for me.

Does this Mars/Uranus opposition occur in a place of significance in your chart? Do you have plans tomorrow that might take you into exciting or unexpected places? Let me know in the comments section or on one of my social media pages.
