Star Struck Style

Late tomorrow evening, the sun enters my tenth house. At the same time, Venus will be forming a square to my natal Saturn. “Café Astrology” describes the latter event as follows:

“On this day you will probably have difficulty relating to others, feeling cool and reserved even toward those you love. The problem is that you will have to spend today reevaluating what you are getting out of your relationships and what you are putting into them. You will have a strong awareness of yourself as an independent, even isolated human being, realizing that no one can really get inside of you and feel what you feel. Obviously, this can lead to loneliness and depression, but it can also lead to a radical reappraisal of your life and to a sober consideration of yourself as a human being relating to other human beings. It is necessary to separate yourself from the illusions that run through even the best relationship and to look at what is really there.”

At the moment, I have the feeling that I’m “above it all.” That isn’t uncommon for me. However, I am wondering if this feeling of self-satisfaction will continue throughout the rest of the month. This weekend, Mars will conjoin my natal Pluto in the eleventh house of my horoscope. As the eleventh house is connected with the concept of “connectedness,” I’m not sure that this trend will abate. “Café Astrology” offers this interpretation of this biennial alignment:

“You don’t want to take no for an answer now. You are especially willful and decisive. The desire to rid yourself of waste or to eliminate what you feel are useless or trivial activities is strong, and you can be especially determined and possibly impatient in the process. You may enjoy a strong sense of purposefulness now. The desire to take control of something or of your life in general is stimulated, and you might get involved with power struggles if someone seems to be in your way. Your drive to succeed and excel, as well as to get your way, is stimulated now.”

I don’t really believe that I will “get involved with power struggles” because I don’t really have any skin in the game right now. Nevertheless, I can see the current cosmic climate contributing to the resurgence of my superiority complex because I am feeling quite pleased with myself lately. The “radical reappraisal” alluded to in the former prediction is already underway. That is what I would expect when the ruler of my ascendant aligns with the ruler of my sun sign. The latter prediction should manifest itself more as a sidenote as neither Mars nor Pluto is personalized in my chart.

Still, the most significant of all these changes is the sun’s ingress into my tenth house. I’m a Capricorn, so when the sun reaches my midheaven, it also enters the house over which it rules. I become that mountain goat at the top of the world, looking down at you all. For me, it’s not isolating or even lonely. It just makes me enjoy being alone with my thoughts even more than usual. Despite Mars’ current transit through my eleventh house and the aspects the red planet is forming to my natal planets, I feel as if I’m happy to be left to my own devices at the moment. Maybe that will change during this eventful week, or maybe it won’t. I think I’ll be okay either way . . .
