Star Struck Style

I’ve been in the mood to push my luck lately, but I’ve been listening to a voice in my head that has been telling me that my patience will be rewarded. In fact, I had Saturday off from one of my part-time jobs, and I was going to go to the casino. I haven’t been in months, and I figured that I could use a break from my routine.

Yet something was telling me that my plans would change, and I was right. My boss texted me on Friday and asked me if I was still available on Saturday. So I went to work as usual and didn’t spend a dime trying to push my luck. I figured that I could get back to my normal Monday morning habit of visiting my province’s online casino where I have a strict limit of what I can spend ($50/per week split between casino games and lottery purchases).

I’m glad that did because I turned my $50 into $1,200. Instead of living like a pauper this month as I had planned, I bought a fabulous new pair of Bally sweatpants and a terrific cross-body bag for a song, plus I paid off the small balance on the one credit card I still possess after I got off the credit train earlier this year.

I have been tremendously patient and unreactive since retrograde Saturn moved back into my fifth house, and this moderation of my behavior has been serving me well. I’ve trusted my inner voice when it comes to making impulsive decisions, and I’ve been lucky as a result. I initially thought that I’d be kicking it into high gear this fall with Jupiter in my tenth house, but this Saturn transit seems to have moderated my impulses and made me second-guess whether or not my timing has been right.

I’m feeling totally stress-free lately and pleased with myself on so many different levels. Everything I do seems to be cosmically blessed.

I could get used to this . . .
