Star Struck Style

I need to keep it together for a couple of days. While I’ve got a lot of good things happening in my horoscope, I’ve also got the sun transiting my natal Mars.

This aspect can be powerful, but often it just ends up being frustrating. “Café Astrology” describes it as follows:

“This is one of your most courageous and animated periods of the year. How you handle the energy at your disposal is the key to the kinds of outcomes you’ll experience. You’re not going to wait for anyone now. This transit rids you of inhibitions, at least for the time being. This is a time of much enthusiasm. Acting on things you have only entertained on a mental level is probable.

With the Sun placing its spotlight on Mars — the planet that rules anger, assertion, sexuality, and competitiveness — you can learn much about your desire nature and how you handle anger. If you find yourself lashing out at others, arguing, or unreasonably stressed out, then you know you haven’t been managing your desire nature well. Use the blast of energy constructively by tackling projects that require a lot of drive and physical stamina. Even things like heavy housework, gardening, or a trip to the gym will do you well.”

I do have a lot to do at work over the next couple of days because I just took a week off. If I can just dive into those projects without being distracted by the noise around me, I’ll probably get through the next two days with flying colors. After that, the sun conjoins my natal Venus. It’s a lovely annual aspect that feels like a reward for the bullshit that I deal with when the sun conjoins Mars.

So, I’m going to resolve to keep to myself as much as possible and just plug away at the work that is in front of me. I’m also going to keep my mouth shut because I don’t need to be engaging in any passive/aggressive behavior while the Libra moon is transiting my twelfth house. That already makes me feel victimized by my current circumstances. I can’t let paranoia get the best of me when I’m already prone to lashing out.

Wish me luck. If I can make it to Friday without blowing my top, I really will have accomplished something!
