Star Struck Style

Coral Supreme Peony

Here’s a photo of a peony from my garden. It’s nestled into a big patch of Joe Pye Weed. A few years ago, I had the foundation repaired in this spot and I thought I lost this plant. Then the next year it seemed to resurrect itself. If I thought I could dig it out and move it to another part of my garden, I would. For some reason, though, it seems to be doing fine just where it is.

I’m also doing fine just where I am. I keep have these momentary panic attacks where I think I’m never going to be gainfully employed again, but then I remember that I’m working about thirty hours a week as it is. And to be perfectly honest, I’m enjoying it. I might not be making as much money as I did when I was working full-time hours, but it’s nice to have so much less responsibility — at least for now. Once winter comes and I can’t spend half my day dithering in my garden, I’ll probably be much more eager to take on a new job.

Nevertheless, I wonder if this feeling is going to last through the whole summer. I’ve got three big changes in my horoscope happening over the next several days, and I might find myself in a different place soon. Mars moves into my eleventh house next Monday, Venus moves into my eighth house next Thursday, and Mercury moves into my tenth house on the following Sunday.

I’m not really sure what to make of these shifts in the stars, but I do know that I’m still not in a hurry to make any major decisions with my life. I feel like I’m making repairs to my own foundation (maybe that’s Saturn in my sixth house talking), and I need to ensure that those repairs are finished before I enter a new growing season. On a positive note, I think that those repairs are going well.

Maybe I’ll take a good look at myself when this is all over and be just as thrilled as I was when I saw this peony popping up in my garden. Stranger things have happened . . .
