Star Struck Style

Transiting Jupiter conjoins my natal Jupiter in a couple of hours from now. This alignment happens once every twelve years or so, but it can recur a few times if the planet’s retrograde cycle takes it back over its natal position. That isn’t the case with this transit. However, it is the case that this conjunction is occurring within ten minutes of the full moon in Scorpio, and just three hours after transiting Mars opposed my natal Mars, and about fifteen hours after the sun opposed my natal Neptune.

Normally, I’d be off to the casino or on some other impractical adventure today, but with all those other things occurring in the sky, I’m going to spend the day close to home. I don’t believe that I can trust myself to always make the right decisions at the moment.

On the bright side, Jupiter will be in orb to its natal position for another week or so. Maybe I’ll see some good things happen to me later this week. This coming Saturday, the sun catches up with Uranus in Taurus in my eighth house while several more beneficial minor aspects will be forming. My horoscope looks pretty good for the rest of the month.

I’m happy that I’m not so stressed out that I can make a decision to not go off the deep end while Jupiter is whispering in my ear. As I’ve mentioned in a few posts recently, I’m not engaging in the sort of self-sabotaging behavior that has defined so many chapters of my life. That has everything to do with my decision to quit my job earlier this year so that I could pursue a path that feels more rewarding from a holistic perspective. Maybe that’s where Jupiter has been leading me all along over the last several months as it has inched toward this conjunction. My astro.com horoscope describing the transit contains one line that stands out to me. It reads “The law of conservation of energy in the universe says that you can transform the energies in your life from one form to another, but you cannot create them out of nothing.” I do feel as if I have transformed, but only because I have realigned my priorities to emphasize what I already have.

I’ve got a lot going for me. In fact, I’ve spent my entire life being a very fortunate person. For me to think otherwise is foolish. The “big picture” that I should be looking at while Jupiter conjoins itself in my ninth house is telling me that I don’t need to “sweat the small stuff,” as the saying goes.

That doesn’t mean that I don’t want to hit the jackpot this week, but I know that I’ll be okay if I don’t. After a rough start to the year, I’m just happy to be happy again.
