Star Struck Style

Fall arrived yesterday afternoon just as I was starting work at one of my part-time jobs. I had a good day. It not only felt productive, but also like a new beginning. With the new moon occurring the day before, that’s how I wanted my day to go.

I woke up this morning feeling optimistic about the future. Knowing that I’ve settled into a not-so-routine routine with my current professional situation makes me happy, even though I am still eager to find more-gainful employment. Watching the Canadian Prime Minister speaking yesterday to the Council on Foreign Relations gave me some hope for the future, especially after that discussion was followed up by the American President’s idiotic press conference on the tenuous link between autism and a number of factors dreamed up by his fellow charlatan RFK Jr. I’ve never been happier to be Canadian! And then this morning, I woke up to the stellar reviews of the latest Burberry show. That’s a sentence I didn’t think I would ever type again.

Feeling good is in my stars today. Transiting Jupiter forms a trine with my natal Neptune this evening. However, the tendency to be overly optimistic is something I need to regard while these planets are lined up in this manner. On one hand, this transit can alleviate misplaced paranoia. On the other hand, it can alleviate justified paranoia.

I’m going to be walking the fine line between these two temperaments between now and next spring — right around the time that these Burberry clothes hit the stores. What I need to do is to appreciate that transiting Jupiter is forming this aspect from my prudent tenth house. I’m likely to be grounded in reality even when my horoscope tells me otherwise. That won’t be the case for many of the others born in my generation who are experiencing the same long-term transit. They might be ready to dive off the deep end while these planets align. The Sagittarians born in 1965 and the Pisces natives born in 1966 are especially susceptible to the worst of what this normally-favorable aspect has to offer.

But I can thank my lucky stars that’s not me! I’m a Capricorn with a Libra rising who thrives when fall arrives. Or at least that’s what I’m going to tell myself . . .
