Star Struck Style

I published this post last summer when transiting Jupiter was about to form an opposition with my Capricorn Sun. That aspect will recur this weekend and then linger through to the beginning of April due to Jupiter’s upcoming station at 15°05″ Cancer.

Curiously, I don’t feel like I’m squandering any opportunities at the moment. In fact, I feel like I’ve taken the line “nothing satisfies like satisfaction” to heart. I’ve spent the last several months figuring out what makes me happy, and I’m in a much better place because of my focus on self-satisfaction.

That doesn’t mean that I can’t get anything else out of this alignment. Once Jupiter turns direct and starts to move back up toward the top of my chart, maybe I’ll be able to apply the lessons I’ve learned over the last several months and finally find a satisfying career to settle into as I approach “retirement age.” It would be nice to feel more ambitious in a professional sense, even though I’ve learned that I can live without that particular drive. I’m far more driven to find my bliss nowadays, and I’ve come to the understanding that “success” has very little to do with how I make a living.

I’ll likely return to a more focused mindset this coming June, but until then I’m not going to drive myself crazy wondering why my life didn’t work out exactly as I had envisioned it. I got to a place where I am happy by abandoning that way of thinking, and I intend to enjoy this feeling while it lasts.

It feels good to feel good . . .
