Star Struck Style

Today is an interesting day for me. With Venus conjoining Saturn, I have the last few months on my mind. Venus first met up with Saturn in my fifth house back in January when I admitted to myself that I wasn’t doing that well from a mental health perspective. Since then, I’ve actually taken several steps to feel better about myself. This final conjunction of the two planets in this current cycle occurs in my sixth house, and this time both planets are joined by the north node. What’s more, the moon transits over this same point in the sky this evening.

As this cosmic cycle culminates with this alignment, I’m quite satisfied with myself for pursuing this path. I have never been the sort of person who visits the self-help section of the bookstore or makes appointments with professionals to talk about my feelings. This time, however, I admitted that I wasn’t as happy as I could be, and I took the steps necessary to become a happier person. I honestly feel as if I am in a much better place today. I am eager to continue upon this journey of self-improvement.

As someone with a Saturn-ruled Capricorn sun and a Venus-ruled Libra ascendant, I need to pay more attention to the aspects that these two planets form with one another in the future — especially when their retrograde cycles have them dancing around one another in the sky. Maybe next time something like this happens, I’ll be a little more prepared.

Nevertheless, I’m feeling good about myself and I’m taking my well-being more seriously. I’m addressing problems as they arise instead of pretending that I’m too thick-skinned to allow things to bother me. In many ways, I’ve become my own therapist, but there’s nothing wrong with that because it’s working.

It feels good to feel good again. I could get used to this.
