Star Struck Style

Venus enters my third house this coming Wednesday. For a few days, I’ll have the sun, Mercury and Venus all in different houses at the same time. As I mentioned in this post I published long ago, I like to pay attention to how the various configurations of these three planets play out in my chart. For ages, I’ve been claiming that I perform better when they are far apart in the sky. I feel like I’m performing well right now. Things are good in my world. That trend ought to continue if this forecast from “Café Astrology” holds true:

“You are mostly cheerful in your approach to others, and perhaps somewhat intellectual, during this transit. Essentially, you are quite companionable now. You enjoy talking about what interests you, and you find great value in the exchange of ideas. Sometimes this transit brings benefits through siblings, communications, or short trips. During this period, you are most attracted to wit, cheerfulness, and verbal rapport. You are especially good at mediating conflicts. Smoothing over differences using your diplomacy skills figures now.”

I hope that I can maintain my cheerfulness in the lead up to the American election because it does have me stressed out. Perhaps I just need to remind myself of what I wrote about this transit so many years ago:

“I really felt different yesterday: lighter on my feet, more easygoing, and less-willing to put up with anyone’s bullshit. I suppose it’s that last thing that really stuck with me. I wasn’t going to let anyone rain on my parade. I woke up feeling the same way today, like giving the middle finger to those who thought that they could ruin my day with their own special brand of misery.”

I am encouraged by this forecast. I am a third-house character with both my natal sun and Mercury in the sign. I am also a Venusian character with Libra as my rising sign, so this should be a good time of the year for me. For that reason, I’m looking forward to this shift in the stars. I already adore this time of year, and once Venus moves into my third house, I should like it even more.
