Star Struck Style

I’m the sort of person who smiles at my neighbor’s dogs when we pass each other while walking outside. With Venus entering my first house tomorrow, maybe I should start smiling at my neighbors instead. My horoscope on astro.com suggests that I work on making a good first impression:

“This is one of the most favorable influences for personal relationships. You can readily express your love and affection, and others are likely to show their affection for you. Seek the company of others, because you are in a sociable frame of mind today. Today is also a good time to resolve any problems in your personal relationships. You will be able to discuss any tensions that exist without difficulty, assuring your loved one that your love is sincere. This is also a day when you may meet a new lover or friend. It is a good time for any necessary new encounters because the environment favors pleasant first impressions.”

Although I still want to make a good first impression on my neighbor’s dogs, it wouldn’t hurt me to smile at my neighbors and everyone else I meet. I know that I possess a “resting bitch face” when I’m concentrating on my work, and sometimes that gives people the wrong impression of how I’m feeling. I’ll be the first person to admit that I’m a snob with a superiority complex, but I’m not a grouchy asshole that finds the faults in everything that everyone else does. I don’t go out of my way to scowl at people or to make their days miserable. I’m not an Aries, after all. I’m kidding, sort of.

Anyway, starting tomorrow, I’ve got three weeks ahead of me with Venus in my first house. I’m going to resolve to make the most of it by turning on the charm whenever I can, like the cute dog in the photo I posted above. You never know where a good first impression might take you, right?
