I published this post three years ago just as the sun had crossed over my natal nodal axis. At the same time, Venus was transiting my seventh house. In eight days from now, those two planets will return to similar positions in my horoscope. What’s more, a few other harmonious alignments will characterize the entire weekend.

I need to take advantage of this cosmically-blessed time of year and stop worrying about my future. With practical Saturn in the final degree of paranoid Pisces, one voice inside my head is telling me that it’s impractical to allow myself time to figure out where my life is headed, and another is telling me to stop and smell the roses. I need to ignore the former voice and heed the latter. With every fiber of my being, I can feel major changes coming to the world around me. By mid-June, I’ll be able to assess the new landscape and make more well-informed decisions about my future.

Until then, I need to promise myself that I will be more easygoing and less-critical of my decision to take this mental-health break. That’s right around the same time that the roses will start blooming in my garden, anyway. I can’t wait to stop and smell them. It’s been a while . . .
