Star Struck Style

Yesterday was my last day at my former job. Later today, retrograde Venus aligns with the sun and both planets form a square to my natal moon. I’m feeling a little decadent and in need of comfort as a result of the cosmic weather, so I’m going to spend the day doing things that make me feel good. I’m not going to allow myself to feel guilty for taking some time off, either. I’ve got a lot of vacation time owed to me and a small pension fund that I can always cash out, so I don’t have to scramble to find another full-time job. I’ll be okay working less for a while.

That might change in a week from now. Next Saturday, just before the arrival of the new moon in my sixth house, Jupiter returns to my ninth house. I’m going to pay more attention to this ingress because something life-changing came out the planet’s return to my eighth house. I would not have been able to quit my job if I had not swallowed my pride and visited a financial advisor a couple of months ago. I would not be sitting here at my desk making plans to pamper myself for a few days if I hadn’t realized that I had earned the opportunity (Jupiter) to deal with my longstanding financial obligations (the eighth house).

Jupiter’s transits through the houses should provide all of us with “themes” throughout our lives. Over the next week, I’m going to take a deep dive into what Jupiter’s transit through my ninth house should mean for me. I suspect that “opportunity” will be the theme of my life in 2025. Still, I’m going to wait until the arrival of this upcoming new moon before I dive headfirst into any new plans or projects. I have earned myself a break and I’m going to take it. My last “staycation” was good for my soul. This one is going to be even better knowing that I don’t have to return to a job that was stressing me out.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a mud masque to put on . . .
