Star Struck Style

While I’ve never been the sort of person who has indulged in the ritual of making daily affirmations, something has changed in me over the last few months since I quit my full-time job: I’ve started listening to the voice in my head that is telling me to prioritize my happiness over everything else. And you know what? It’s made me a happier person.

I don’t get out of bed every morning and shout “YOU ARE SUPER” into the universe, but I do tell myself that I have everything I need to be happy. Acknowledging that has been a breakthrough for me.

Over the next couple of weeks, several terrific transits will have me feeling even better than I have been feeling lately — not counting the transiting sun’s square to my natal sun and ascendant, and transiting Mars’ opposition to my natal Saturn last week. Those were rough aspects, but I saw them coming and was able to take a step back for a couple of days to ensure that they didn’t get the best of me.

I can feel the positive nature of these planetary alignments in my body. My stress levels have dropped. I’m losing weight without really trying to slim down because of the lack of stress in my life. The chronic injuries that have bothered me in the past seem to be healing because I’m no longer stuck behind a desk at a dead-end job, and I’m sleeping better at night as a result. The physical manifestations of my resolution to be a happier person are real and not just something that I am imagining.

I’m feeling super, and I’m planning to continue along this path. Even with Saturn turning retrograde this morning, I understand that I’m moving in the right direction.

It feels good to feel good again.
