Star Struck Style

Transiting Venus conjoins my natal Saturn in my fifth house this evening. With my Libra ascendant and Capricorn sun, this is one of those days that I’m really feeling pleased with myself. “Café Astrology” describes the transit as follows:

“You are attracted to people with maturity, worldly wisdom, and a solid sense of values (perhaps an advisor, elder, or teacher), and are disinclined to frivolous activities or wasting your time. In fact you may be pleased and happy to be alone or perhaps with just one other person that you know well. On the other hand, you may feel quite cool or withdrawn in a crowd. You are also restrained and careful about spending money at this point, and that’s as it should be. It is a good time to reflect, set priorities, enjoy simple pleasures, and appreciate quality time with yourself or with your chosen companion. A commitment could be made now.”

Spending “quality time with myself” is in my stars because it’s too cold to go out today. I’d rather just lift some weights, get in some cardio, and avoid allowing anyone into my world who might annoy me. With transiting Jupiter opposing my natal sun tomorrow, and the transiting sun forming a trine to my natal moon, I feel both emotionally secure and content with my decision to take life as it comes for a few more weeks. Many of the problems that I have faced over the past few months seem to be resolving themselves without my intervention, and adopting a “wait and see” approach has served me well lately.

I don’t expect this feeling to last forever, though. In just over a week from now, Mars will join the party in my fifth house, magnifying my self-confidence and making me much more assertive in situations where I need to stand up for my own needs.

In the meantime, I’m not going to beat myself up for taking a bit of a break, especially while the fifth and ninth houses of my horoscope are highlighted in this manner. My sixth house is going to see all the action in the very near future, and I can get back to being a more serious person at that time.

Until then . . .
