Star Struck Style

I’m feeling quite optimistic this morning. The sun just joined Mars in my third house and my mind is going a million miles a minute. Jupiter is conjunct my midheaven (about to move back into my ninth house), and I feel as if luck is on my side. What’s more, transiting Mars is opposing my natal Jupiter, making me revel in my overconfidence and abundant energy levels.

I do have plenty to do today, so I can’t take this energy to the casino where I could lose my shirt; I suppose that’s a good thing. But I actually feel quite empowered, like the choices I’ve made over the last several months have been the right ones. What I need to do now is to revisit what Jupiter’s transit of the ninth house will mean for me now that the gaseous giant will be lingering in the house it rules over for the next six months. “Café Astrology” provides the following interpretation for the transit:

“An expansive, optimistic attitude is with you now, as you are less concerned about petty problems and inconveniences. You may have opportunities to travel, study, expand your horizons, and meet people who are of diverse backgrounds. You tend to become more intellectually curious, and academic matters go well.

You are open to learning, particularly about subjects that you may normally take little interest in. Furthering your education in any capacity is possible and is likely to be very successful now. Success in business is likely through expansion or connection with foreigners.

Advertising and promotional activities are highly favored and could be one of the main keys to business success right now. Legal matters may be especially favorable for you now. Authors could publish their works, expand their audience, and receive favorable feedback for their work. Educational and travel opportunities expand your horizons. Teaching or learning is favored, and writing flows easily.

This is also an excellent period for positive dealings with in-laws! Your mind is more expansive and tolerant, and you are under less stress than usual. You are less inclined to sweat the small stuff. Your priorities are easier to see, as you gain perspective on your life and its meaning. Your creative juices flow, and you generally benefit from robust health. Faith in your purpose and in a higher meaning to your life helps to ease stress and open doors for you.”

That all sounds terrific, but the one line that interests me the most is the one that tells me that my “priorities are easier to see.” I feel that with every fiber of my being right now. I have gained a tremendous amount of perspective in 2025, and I’m much less stressed-out as a result. I feel good physically, my finances are in good shape, I’m happy to go to work every day, and I’m starting to find enjoyment in things that I lost interest in when I wasn’t doing so well earlier in the year. Maybe now is the time to find some “faith” in my purpose and a “higher meaning” to my life now that I’ve actually put into practice the notion of making the most of what I already have: my mantra over the past couple of years.

I truly believe that opportunities are going to be everywhere for me in the foreseeable future. I can see it in my chart and I can feel it in my bones. Good things are on the horizon for me. 2026 is going to be my year!
