Star Struck Style

In about three weeks from now, Mars is going to station in Cancer in my ninth house. It’s also going to form a square to my ascendant that will be within orb for about a month. I’m going to be prickly and defensive for a while.

I guess that I should be glad that the red planet has moved back into my ninth house because I tend to focus my annoyance with everything on the big picture when Mars is transiting that part of my chart. The last couple of times that I published posts about this transit, I targeted the MAGA cult and its brain-dead adherents. With everything that is going on in the USA right now, I wouldn’t be surprised if that was the outcome of this upcoming planetary station. I’m probably going to be insufferable on social media.

Closer to home, however, I don’t want everyone to see me acting defensively. With Mars in Cancer, that is a distinct possibility. So, I’m just going to have to try to not be so prickly. Like the porcupine in the photo above, I need to appear cute and cuddly. You would never know how much pain that animal can inflict until you put it on the defensive. I don’t even want to be in that situation while Mars is parked in the sky.

On the bright side, I’m feeling optimistic about plenty of the other astrological alignments that will be occurring as the weather starts to warm up in this part of the world. My light therapy lamp seems to be making a difference in the way I feel both mentally and physically, and that makes me believe that I can go back to work next week with a brighter, more-confident attitude. Perhaps those minor annoyances I encounter won’t seem so annoying. I hope so, because I don’t like feeling like I need to have my guard up every time I have a conversation with one of my superiors. I need my confidence and competence to be my mode of defense over the next few weeks, not my prickly demeanor.

Wish me luck!
