Star Struck Style

I had a look at my progressed chart this morning to see if anything is going on. I discovered a couple of interesting things.

First of all, the progressed sun is currently one minute away from forming an exact sextile with my natal sun. Of course, that happens to anyone my age. Still, I can’t dismiss the interpretation of the aspect on “Café Astrology” that reads as follows:

“Anything you do is likely to make you look good, especially when you let your purposes and intentions be fully clear. The less you hide your talents, the more appreciated you will be, and you won’t have to overexert yourself to get there. Just go with your own flow, and the glow will be self-evident to everyone.”

I am feeling “the glow” right now. Even with the uncertainty of being underemployed, I’m not too worried about my future because I have so much faith in myself.

What’s more, Venus, Mercury and the north node are all transiting the degree where my progressed Mars is situated just over the threshold of my sixth house cusp. I hadn’t realized the importance of progressed Mars in my recent decision to quit the full-time job I had for over five years. In February, when I declared to the universe that I would rather be doing “Anything Else” in a post on this blog, Mercury and the north node were conjoined about five minutes away from my progressed Mars. Since then, a few transiting planets have been doing a little back and forth dance over the same degree.

Finally, my progressed Saturn is inching toward an exact opposition with my natal Uranus. This is another generational alignment that will be happening to anyone my age, but it’s making me accept that it’s never too late to make a change of this magnitude in my life. Other kids born around the same time as me may or may not be feeling this progression acutely, but both Saturn and Uranus are personalized in my horoscope, so I understand how this aspect is going to define me through what should be the period leading up to my retirement. Being a slave to routine is not going to be the thing that makes me happy in my golden years.

Anyway, I feel terrific. I start a new part-time job this afternoon. Yesterday, I signed up for an information session regarding my 200-hour yoga instructor course. I’m getting to the bottom of a minor health problem that has plagued me since I took a fall in December, 2023. The weather is improving in this part of the world and I feel like I’ve got the next seven months or so to bask in the warmth of the sun — something else that always improves my mood. I’ve got a “glow” to me that I haven’t had for months. I’m confident that everyone else can see it, too.

It’s nice to be happy again.
