Star Struck Style

This aspect recurs tomorrow, but without the sun present in my first house. For that reason, I believe it will be easy for me to fade into the background for a couple of days and not let anything bother me. Or at least I hope that’s how things work out!

Transiting Mars squares my natal Mars over the next couple of days. It’s a tense aspect that will ensure that I’m annoyed by every little thing that happens around me. For that reason, I’m going to have to be on my best behavior. My astro.com horoscope describes the transit as follows:

“During this time you should avoid rash and impulsive actions, for they will alienate others, create enemies and in the long run undermine your own interests. Your ego energies run rather high now, but in such a way that you are likely to assert yourself inappropriately. You may issue completely unnecessary challenges to the people around you. Most frequently you express this feeling as irritability, excessive impatience with others’ actions, argumentativeness and general touchiness. This is a good time for getting work done, if you can control your impulsive behavior. Any task that requires sheer physical energy with little finesse or attention to detail is excellent, because it allows you to work off energy without suppressing the natural impulsiveness and exuberance of this influence.”

I suppose that I can “put my nose to the grindstone,” as the saying goes, and just focus upon “getting work done.” However, I work in customer service and it can be difficult for me to put on a happy face when I’m surrounded by idiots. Yet I’m well-rested after my vacation and far less likely to behave in a reactive manner while I have the sun, Mercury and Mars in my first house. I might want to stand my ground in an argument with these three planets firing up my ego, but I also won’t waste my time fighting battles that don’t mean anything to me. For that reason, I’m not too worried about behaving rashly.

Still, I’m going to resolve to put on my so-called “game face” and keep my thoughts to myself this weekend. Wish me luck . . .
