Star Struck Style

I woke up grouchy this morning. Actually, that isn’t entirely true. Something happened this morning right after I got out of bed that made me grouchy.

Anyway, Mars squared Uranus this morning, and Jupiter squares Saturn in a few minutes from now. I’m probably not the only one feeling like punching a wall today. The “Astrodienst” monthly newsletter describes the two alignments as follows:

“On June 15, the square between Jupiter and Saturn becomes exact. The profound social changes of recent years must now be critically reviewed for the first time.

With Mars and Uranus now also forming a square and impatiently calling for freedom and revolution, the mood could suddenly shift, unleashing pent-up frustrations.”

That’s a pretty simple summary of today’s events (the newsletter does provide a link to elaborate upon the subject), but it does get to the heart of the matter. “Pent up frustrations” are on our minds this morning.

I don’t want to react to these minor annoyances. In fact, with the sun and Mercury still in my ninth house, I just want to escape from everything that is bothering me. I do have to teach a class at the gym in a few hours — right at the time that Mars moves into my sociable eleventh house. Maybe I’ll feel better after yelling at my participants for a while. That always puts a smile on my face.

I am going to avoid letting things get to me. I don’t want to feel as if I’m running away from my problems, but sometimes its best to back off and consider a more practical strategy to deal with them. Mars actually enters Virgo in two days from now, and that might provide me and everyone else with a much different perspective on how to cope with whatever it is that is stressing us out.

That sounds like a plan . . .
