Star Struck Style

Since the beginning of the year, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure out just what makes me happy. I have to admit that whatever I’ve been doing is working because I feel good. I’m in a much different place than I was six months ago. Looking at my horoscope, however, reminds me that I could always do a little better. Mars just moved into Libra a couple of days ago. That shift in the stars has reminded me that I am the sort of person who thrives on feeling well-balanced. I have Libra rising, after all.

While I have been able to strike a better balance between work and play since I quit my full-time job, I’m still not using my free time as productively as I could. Nevertheless, the transition between working too much and not working enough seems to be getting easier every day. I’m no longer a slave to a routine that was literally making me feel like I was falling apart — both mentally and physically.

Mars doesn’t actually move out of my twelfth house until early September. For that reason, it’s likely that I am still going to be in this introspective stage for a few more weeks. I need to take advantage of this time to continue to reflect upon what is working for me and to make an action plan for the final third of the year when the planets will have me feeling a lot more eager to move forward. That plan needs to be focused on the idea of balance because once the sun moves into Libra, it’s full speed ahead for me.

In the meantime, I’m going to continue to work on improving a little of this and a little of that. Mars in Libra in the twelfth house isn’t contributing much to my sense of decisiveness, but it is allowing me to see that there are many parts to the whole. Lack of focus isn’t such a bad thing in this case, just as long as I don’t become so unfocused that I lose my footing altogether. However, that’s unlikely to happen. I’m still a Capricorn, after all.

I think I’ve got this . . .
