Star Struck Style

I bought a new pair of Levi’s cords the other day. I think I have seven or eight pairs of the same pants, but they were such a good deal!

Anyway, I’m not upset with myself for spending money on clothes that I don’t need. In fact, those pants are sort of my style signature. As a Capricorn with Libra rising who has worked as a group fitness trainer for almost forty years, I need everyone to know that I’m not a lardass. You do what you gotta do, right?

Nevertheless, Mars moves into my second house in about nine days from now. “Café Astrology” provides me with a bit of warning regarding my compulsive shopping during this upcoming cycle:

“You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones. You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.”

I have been well-behaved lately, and I’ve been tremendously diligent when it comes to my use of credit. For that reason, I’m not so worried as I enter this cycle (although I might be in trouble once American Black Friday arrives just as Mars exits this part of my chart). In fact, I am more interested in the idea that I could take on “new money-making projects.” I’d like a job that pays better, and I’d like to be doing something allows me to make the most of my talents. With the sun transiting my first house and Jupiter conjoining my midheaven while Mars moves through my second house, I should be moving in the right direction.

I sure hope so! I’ve been waiting for the stars to line up in my favor all year long. I’ve got everything I need to enter this new phase of my life. I want to believe that there is something new and exciting for me just over the horizon. C’mon universe — don’t let me down!
