Star Struck Style

The sun is still in my eighth house for a few more days, and I can’t stop thinking about my financial future. I’m not broke, but my current state of underemployment has me on edge. The problem with that is that I shouldn’t be on edge. If I was to take an inventory of what I have and compare it to what I need, there wouldn’t be much cause for concern.

I hate feeling like this, but I am a Capricorn and I can understand how my personal value is tied to the amount of money that I’m taking in at any given moment.

Anyway, I’m going to resolve to make the month of June a time to reacquaint myself with a new year’s resolution I made a few years ago to make the most of what I already have. I’m in a good place both personally and professionally to “look on the bright side” and to avoid the sort of self-sabotaging behavior that I engage in when I am stressed out. Spending money that I don’t have has been at the top of that list for my entire adult life.

With the sun about to join Jupiter in my ninth house, I need to adopt some “big picture” thinking. That includes opening my eyes to “what I already have” — which is plenty! “Café Astrology” offers the following advice for this annual transit:

“It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don’t have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself.”

Being underemployed is like a vacation for me. I’ve already escaped the daily grind and taken a risk by quitting my full-time job. Now I just need to continue to enjoy myself like I’ve been doing for the past two months already. I just need to figure out how to do it without spending any more money.

I think I can do it. I’ve got everything I need to do it, including a fresh perspective on what makes me tick. Maybe I actually did learn something when Jupiter transited my eighth house, after all!
