Star Struck Style

Last night while I was in bed, the new moon arrived in my eighth house of inevitabilities (birth, death, sex, taxes, etc.). Waking up this morning, I had an idea of what I would resolve to work on during this astrologically auspicious time for launching new projects. “Café Astrology” confirmed what I was already thinking:

“This is a time of empowerment. It is a good time to focus on issues of intimacy as well as developing self-mastery skills. You may experience increased awareness of others — what makes them tick — as well as your own internal motivations during this period. It is a time when intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened. It is also a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan, take out a loan or consolidate, and do work in accounting.”

I do need start a savings plan for my next trip. I also need to exercise a little more “self-mastery” in my life in general. For about two weeks a year, the sun moves through that part of my chart where my seventh house overlaps with Taurus, and I am a decadent mess. Now that I’m on the other side of that transit, I can start to clean up my act again.

So, that’s what I’m going to do. Wish me luck . . .
