Star Struck Style

The sun enters Leo tomorrow morning where I live, followed by a new moon in Leo two days later.

I’m looking forward to the shift in the stars because this new moon will occur in my tenth house. I’m already feeling good about myself and my decision to work less this summer. I’m looking good, too. Without the stress of job I loathed, I’ve slimmed down considerably. My workouts are becoming more-disciplined again, and my body is responding favorably. The minor injuries that were keeping me up at night are no longer a problem.

As Leo rules over the sun, having the new moon line up near my midheaven should have me experiencing a higher level of vitality. That seems to be true at the moment as nothing else in my chart seems to be inhibiting me. “Café Astrology” confirms this with its interpretation of the new moon in the tenth house:

“Heightened sensitivity to your standing in society and your goals for constructive progress are highlighted this month. It’s a good time to develop new business plans and goals, assuming the New Moon is not very afflicted, and a sense of renewal and reinvigoration with regards to your career goals is a potential. It is a time to focus on the elements of your personality that you are projecting to society and as a professional. Goals for self-mastery and self-discipline should be made at this time. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and/or public responsibilities.”

While I have earmarked autumn as the time that I need to get more serious about finding a more-lucrative job, that doesn’t mean that I can’t start focusing on my “career goals.” After a particularly dark time in my life about six months ago, I’m so thrilled to be feeling “alive” again that I don’t want to waste this time of the year in a dead-end position that sucks the life out of me. And that’s why I’m not going to allow myself to panic over my “standing in society” during this upcoming phase. Sure, I’m broke, but that isn’t stopping me from getting ahead. Redefining my “career goals” to put my happiness and well-being above everything else was the smartest thing I’ve done in as long as I can remember. As a result, the elements of my personality that I am projecting to society are far more attractive than the bad vibes I was giving off at the beginning of the year.

Someone is going to notice the change in me, and it’s likely that will happen during this tenth-house transit of the sun, or else when Jupiter moves into the same house of my horoscope later this year. I’m confident that my star is rising. This week’s new moon in Leo should make me even more confident in that belief.

I can’t wait to see how this turns out . . .
