Star Struck Style

For the next week or so, Venus and Mars will be moving hand-in-hand through Aquarius.

This will be a rather quick interlude as Venus is currently speeding through the sky. Nevertheless, it could have a profound, beneficial influence on anyone with points or planets around 7° in the air signs.

That definitely isn’t me! I’ve often discussed the “dead zone” in my chart right around 6-9°. I’ve got planets scattered almost everywhere throughout my horoscope, except for that small wedge. Nevertheless, I do have a wide conjunction of Venus and Mars in Aquarius in my natal chart, so I do feel something when these planets meet up.

Right now, that feeling is comfort within my own skin. Sure, I’ve got the sun shining on my fifth house, but my level of self-confidence is extraordinarily high. I’m feeling very satisfied with myself right now, and I’m reveling in my own weirdness. Yesterday, for example, I was laying on a massage table almost naked while my new masseuse and I discussed my ridiculous career as a fashion astrologer. That’s not something that I bring up to everyone because most people believe I’m a flake when I talk about my unique sideline. But in the current cosmic climate I wasn’t only confident to let it all hang out, I was also proud to share my wisdom with anyone who was willing to listen.

Strangely enough, I had a dream last night where I caught a glimpse of myself in front of a full-length mirror, and I was surprised by how much I liked what I was seeing. For a guy like me who is never satisfied with his own body — despite this overconfident shtick — it was unusual for me to perceive myself as “attractive” in such a vulnerable state.

Anyway, I’m going to take advantage of this conjunction (and the subsequent conjunctions that these two planets will form with my natal Venus and Mars over the next two weeks), and continue to revel in my own weirdness. Maybe that is what makes me attractive, after all.

I think the stars are trying to tell me something . . .
