Star Struck Style

I woke up this morning feeling good. I slept like a rock, and I didn’t wake up in the middle of the night stressed-out about my job. I guess that’s what happens when you put in your two-weeks notice.

I literally feel better physically, too. I can just feel myself relaxing again. All of a sudden, I can’t wait to go to the gym to work out. For the last few months, I’ve had a difficult time convincing myself to do anything besides sitting on my ass.

I’m confident that I can thank both my light therapy lamp and the increased daylight hours for this change, but I’m quite sure that my job had started to become toxic for me. All this week, I’ve been so much friendlier to the people who visit my place of work. It’s amazing how your attitude changes when you no longer feel beholden to a bad decision. I should have made this move months ago.

Anyway, today the sun makes its annual opposition my natal Uranus. I woke up to discover a friend of mine is hiring at a store she manages. I immediately reached out to her to let her know that I’m looking for a job. That’s the kind of surprise I would expect on a day like today. The funny thing is that I was going to drop by her store to let her know that I was available. I just hadn’t got around to it yet.

I can probably expect a few more surprises today, too. My daily horoscope on astro.com describes the sun’s transit to Uranus as follows:

“All one-to-one encounters and close intimate relationships will be occasions for surprising events today. Exactly what will happen is hard to say, except that it will be quite different from the norm, whatever your norm may be. For example, in a close relationship as with your partner, one or the other partner may be extremely restless. In this case, there is something in the relationship that one of you is impatient with and unwilling to put up with. This feeling may lead to an argument. Or perhaps one of you will do something radically different and startling that will disrupt the relationship or force you to encounter a new aspect of it. In a business or professional partnership, you may have to make a radical revision because of some unexpected factor.“

So, I’m going to expect the unexpected, but I’m also going to keep my eyes open for any other opportunities that arise because I have been predicting that my life would take this turn for the past couple of months. As I look back on the posts that I’ve published recently, I’m headed exactly in the direction I thought I would be — and I couldn’t be happier about it!

It is such a relief to feel optimistic about my future again. Sure, I’m going to be unemployed in two weeks, but with every fiber of my being I just know that the universe is going to take care of me.

Ahhh . . .
