Star Struck Style

I published this post just a couple of weeks ago. In the meantime, Jupiter has gone direct, but it hasn’t moved out of orb from this aspect that seems to be defining the season for me. I am content. The line “nothing satisfies like satisfaction” is keeping me from giving into my own worst impulses, and many of the impulses that this alignment is known to intensify. I haven’t been overconfident. I haven’t been living beyond my means. I haven’t been testing my own limits.

Believe me, it hasn’t been easy to behave myself all the time, but I’ve been doing it nonetheless. That has resulted in some “inner peace” that I didn’t expect to find.

Next on the horizon for me is the return of Jupiter to the top of my chart. I think I need to be a little more open-minded about how this transit will affect me. As I mentioned in a recent post, I sometimes expect Jupiter’s influence in my horoscope to be more sudden and more overt than it actually is. I need to remember that Jupiter takes several months to move through a sign, and with its long retrograde cycles, its effects are more like an overall theme than a crucial plot point in my own story.

I’m going to explore that transit tomorrow on this blog, and I’m going to look for another line that might define the event for me. I already experienced the conjunction between transiting Jupiter and my midheaven back in October and then again in December, and maybe I’ll be able to reevaluate the interpretation of the transit on astro.com better in retrospect — just like the passage that inspired the original post where I allude to my sense of “Contentment.”

It seems as if I’m revisiting a lot of my previous posts lately, but I’m only doing it because it’s making me into a better astrologer. That’s what keeping this blog does for me. So that’s what I’m going to keep doing . . .
