October (source: pexels.com)

Here’s a post I published six months ago. Right now, I’m feeling a little lazy and not really interested in much — including blogging! I suppose I can attribute my current malaise to the sun’s transit of my twelfth house. I’ve got about nine more days of this phase before I enter the cycle I described below. In the meantime, I’m not going to beat myself up for enjoying this slowdown. As the saying goes, good things come to those who wait.

Yesterday, I published a post discussing all the planets that are currently moving toward the midheaven of my chart. While I was speculating on what might happen, I realized that Jupiter is going to be hovering around my midheaven throughout the latter part of 2025 and the first half of 2026. In six-and-a-half months from now, it will make its first contact with my MC.

I punched October 15 into astro.com just to have a look at what else will be going on in my horoscope at that time. It all looks really good! I should probably be more concerned with my current state of underemployment than I am, but with all these positive developments on the horizon in the not-too-distant future, I can’t help myself from feeling optimistic. Things look good for me. For instance, on the day when Jupiter first conjoins my midheaven, Mars forms a sextile to my natal sun from my second house, and Saturn moves back into my fifth house for one last stand in that part of my chart. Whatever I decide to do with myself right now as I figure out my next career move will likely bear some fruit this fall.

That’s just the beginning of this Jupiter/MC cycle as the planet will move back and forth across this point in my chart. Still, it’s a good sign that I’m feeling so optimistic and eager to face my future with both my midheaven and the cusp of my sixth house highlighted at this very moment. I should take a deeper dive into what else will be going on when Jupiter turns retrograde, but I don’t want to know if the news isn’t good. I’m just so happy to be happy with myself again after struggling to pretend that I liked my former job for the last several months.

I never want to put myself through that sort of bullshit again. I might be getting old, but I can’t forget that I’ve still got my whole life ahead me.
