Star Struck Style

I’m kind of bored lately. However, I’ve been embracing my boredom because I can sense that this isn’t the right time for me to push my luck. Looking back at many of the blog posts I have published over the past few years has made me appreciate the cautiousness I’m feeling because I feel as if I’ve been through this all before — especially with Mercury spending most of the summer in the tenth house of my horoscope.

I don’t believe that this period of self-imposed restraint is going to end soon. Nevertheless, transiting Mars’ upcoming opposition to my natal Saturn around July 9 might have me feeling as if I need to break free from the restrictions I’ve placed on myself. But I need to avoid doing anything rash. “Café Astrology” offers the following advice for the uncommon alignment:

“This is a time in which you are especially sensitive to the limitations or blocks in your path, which can point to frustration or stress. You may be especially impatient with protocol, red tape, traditional methods, superiors, and rules that seem oppressive. The trick is to realize that pushing matters right now simply won’t do you any good. Try to think about the long term instead of pushing for immediate results.”

My head is already there. Still, I need to be sure that it is still there in ten or eleven days from now. A week after this tense aspect perfects, the sun will conjoin my midheaven, ushering in a more ambition-focused period that could provide me with a preview of other benefic events that occur later in the year, including the conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter to the same point in my chart.

So, I’m going to resolve to remain content with my current state of ennui for now. I don’t need to be “pushing matters” that aren’t my matters to push. In today’s cosmic climate, I should be happy to bored.
