Star Struck Style

I’ve been feeling terrific for the past few days and I’ve been happy to share my current state of mind with the world. My light therapy lamp and my week off from work went a long way to help cure my winter blues. Several interesting planetary alignments occurring simultaneously have also helped me to determine a new path forward. However, I still have to deal with one aspect that is going to be a cause for concern: transiting Mars’ stationary square to my ascendant.

I published a post a few days ago titled “Prickly” where I discussed the tense alignment. Just a moment ago, I visited “Café Astrology” to see what that site had to say about the square. The interpretation was exactly what I expected. Still, one line stood out to me in a way that made me think twice about how I need to approach the next few weeks, especially if I’m looking for a new job. That sentence read “You might fumble when you go after what you want, as your confidence seems forced.”

That’s the last impression I want to give if I go for a job interview. I need to seem warm and authentic if I’m trying to sell myself as a viable candidate to a potential employer.

Next week, both Mercury and the sun will be transiting my fifth house, making me feel as if my self-confidence could become a detriment to my success. I don’t need to downplay my achievements or wear a mask of feigned humility while the stars line up in this manner, but I do need to be sure that I’m not giving off the sort of vibes that I get when I look at photo like the one I posted above. I’m not a third-rate Realtor who advertises on bus benches.

So, I’m going to try to project an air of quiet competence as I embark upon this new journey. Wish me luck . . .
