Star Struck Style

The new moon arrived in my tenth house this morning, just after Venus joined Mercury in my eleventh house. What’s more, retrograde Saturn is forming a opposition with my natal Pluto today (which means that it has also conjoined my natal Chiron this week), and Jupiter moves into my ninth house on Wednesday.

That’s a lot to unpack! However, the one thing that sticks with me when I read through the textbook interpretation of all these alignments is the very last line of the interpretation of the Saturn/Pluto aspect on astro.com which advises me to “start moving in new directions.”

I’ve been bored lately. The hot summer has me feeling as if I’ve been sentenced to house arrest. Thankfully, it’s about to cool down in this part of the world. I’m feeling as if I’m caught up on housework and yardwork, so that if I want to take a day off to just get out and about, I’m not going to feel as if I’m turning my back on my responsibilities. Having too many planets in my tenth house can do that to me.

Yet I’m not going to ignore the fact that the sun is still in my tenth house. I can be self-disciplined and responsible while still being sociable (Venus in the eleventh house), out-there (Jupiter in the ninth house), and eager to move in “new directions” (Saturn opposite Pluto) despite the restrictions I have traditionally imposed upon myself to disguise my vulnerabilities (Saturn conjunct Chiron).

All in all, it’s a significant day for me astrologically — perhaps the most significant day of the year — and an important day for me to shout out my intentions to the universe, and my intention is to not allow myself to be bored any more.

Now all I have to worry about is which way to go first . . .
