Star Struck Style

It’s summertime, and as the Gershwin song goes, “the livin’ is easy.”

Things might even start to get easier for me this Friday when Venus joins Jupiter in my ninth house for a four-week stay. The sun just entered my tenth house last night, so perhaps I’ll be a little more focused on where I’m headed in the not-too-distant future, but that recent ingress will be tempered by a couple of other considerations.

First of all, Mercury is about to go retrograde in my tenth house. That might put the pause on my sense of ambition as it’s likely that I will be considering and reconsidering any changes to my current employment status. For months, I’ve been saying that I’ll get more serious about career matters this fall.

Next, the sun is still in Cancer. When the sun conjoins my midheaven, it occupies a sign that allows me to have one eye on the future and one eye on the past. I wouldn’t call myself “cautious” during this transit, but I would say that I’m more “circumspect” than usual. For the next few weeks, I’m going to keep my eyes open for opportunities, but I’m also going to take the chance to consider those opportunities in the context of “the big picture” and what has worked for me in the past.

While I’m doing that, I’m going to do my best to enjoy how easy my life is at the moment. Sure, I might not have the money to do everything that I want to do, but that’s honestly the least of my worries. Right now, I just want to be happy. I feel like I left an abusive relationship with my former full-time employer and now I just need some time to heal.

So, that’s what I’m going to do . . .
