Star Struck Style

The last couple of weeks have been sort of annoying for me. I’ve either been fighting off a virus or dealing with some other immune response (it could be my seasonal allergies). I’ve been sore and tired for several days in a row. What’s more, the weather has been very uncooperative when I’ve wanted to garden. Being out in the yard this time of year is like meditation for me, especially when I’m feeling the need for some physical/mental/spiritual rejuvenation. I don’t go outside to listen to the wind howling. And speaking of howling, a coyote had babies under my front porch, so I’ve had to avoid the area completely. That has just added to my stress levels.

Just a few days ago, I published a post where I described how I feel “out of my element” with so many planets currently transiting Gemini. Thankfully, that starts to change tomorrow morning when both Mercury and Venus enter the sign of Cancer.

I’m far more comfortable when the swift-moving planets gang up in this part of my chart. While they will still be transiting my ninth house, they will be occupying the wedge of my horoscope where my natal moon resides. There’s something about that sector that feels more like “home” to me. That makes sense from an astrological perspective as the moon and the sign of Cancer are connected with the concept of “home.”

My moon resides at 3° 25″ Cancer, so Mercury and Venus will form conjunctions with it this week, followed by the sun early next week. I might take the time to focus on these alignments as they occur just to have a record of how they are affecting me for future reference. Or I might just spend the week trying to clean up my house and do all the things that I’ve been avoiding for the last couple of weeks while I’ve been feeling out-of-sorts. Hopefully, it’s a little of both. As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts, it’s been difficult for me to focus on anything in particular with so many planets transiting Gemini simultaneously.

I’m looking forward to whatever this new season will bring. The crab in me tells me that the change will do me good.
