Star Struck Style

With the upcoming new moon in Cancer occurring just a few minutes away from my natal moon at the same time that transiting Jupiter is almost exactly conjunct the same spot, I’ve been looking to find some sort of meaning in this rare planetary alignment. What I’ve found looking around the internet is a lot of the astrology that gives astrologers a bad name. I don’t need every single event in the sky to be interpreted through a lens of “spiritual discovery.” It gets to be exhausting reading forecasts from people who assume that everyone and everything is broken and needs to be fixed. I’m doing just fine.

Anyway, I did come across an interesting interpretation of the event in the “Astrodienst” newsletter, It reads as follows:

“The Cancer New Moon on June 25 could bring an unexpected breakthrough: the Sun, Moon, and Jupiter are in conjunction — a rare and powerful constellation that can richly reward an open and receptive soul. It is an excellent time to express gratitude for life’s richness.”

I do believe that I need to explore my “gratitude for life’s richness.” I’ve been spending the last few weeks telling myself that I’m going to be okay with the reduced income I’m receiving since quitting my full-time job. I revisited the new year’s resolution that I made a few years ago when I told myself that I already possess everything I need to be happy, and I believe that I’ve been living up to that declaration. What I need to do now that Jupiter is within a minute of my ninth-house natal moon is to continue to “take inventory” of my possessions. Three weeks ago, I published a post about doing exactly that and I’ve slowly but surely been using this time to reintroduce myself to what I already have hidden in the closets and drawers of my home.

I’m richer than I think I am. My life is a figurative “piece of cake” right now. The only thing that I’m missing is something in my fridge like that actual piece of cake in the photo above that came up in my search a few minutes ago when I typed the word “richness” into my browser. Sure, I’d be thrilled to experience “an unexpected breakthrough” over the next several days, but if I have to settle for less, I will be continue to be just fine.
