Star Struck Style

With both the sun and Venus transiting my first house and Jupiter transiting my tenth house, I thought that I would be a bit more ambitious lately. However, I’m not feeling that way, at least as far as my professional ambitions are concerned. Life is pretty easy for me right now.

I’m not really feeling lazy, but I am feeling as if I’ve struck a more reasonable balance between doing things I need to do and doing things I want to do. As a result, I am not stressed out whatsoever. I have to go back before the pandemic to think of a time when I felt this content with my circumstances. Sure, I could be making more money and using my time off in a manner that was more enterprising, but I just don’t feel like it.

Maybe that will all change when Jupiter turns goes retrograde in mid-November and moves back over my midheaven, or maybe this is just a new phase of my life that I need to get used to. In either case, it isn’t going to change this weekend when transiting Venus makes a trine to my natal Jupiter. “Café Astrology” describes that transit as follows:

“Friendliness and optimism characterize this transit. You are big-hearted and your feelings are expansive. Your outlook is cheerful and hopeful and the atmosphere around you is cooperative. This is a sociable, perhaps lazy and self-indulgent, time. This is a period when you easily find meaning in your social connections. You are more open and trusting of friends and lovers. Integrity and loyalty are favored. This is an especially favorable influence for winning people’s trust. Speculation, advertising, publishing, and travel are also favored. Don’t pass up a social opportunity now.”

I’m going to go into this weekend with that advice in mind. I don’t want to allow what’s going on in the world to get to me, so I think I’m just going to thank my lucky stars that I’m feeling good at a time when it might not be that easy for many of us to feel good. I can get back to being ambitious another day.
