Star Struck Style

The full moon this coming week arrives on April Fools’ Day in this part of the world. I’ve got the evening off from work and I was already thinking about doing something fun to entertain myself, but now I’m second-guessing myself considering that the full moon occurs in my twelfth house. I might be at my irrational worst.

I’m really not an irrational person, but I have discovered that I cope with stress irrationally. I buy myself clothes I can’t afford when I’m stressed out. I eat too much crap when I’m stressed out. I go to the casino when I’m stressed out. My coping mechanisms are very decadent.

A twelfth-house full moon could have me behaving like a fool on April Fools’ Day, especially if I allow current events to get to me. Things are terrific in my own little world, but the problem is that things aren’t terrific in the rest of the world. I’ve been doing my best to avoid getting sucked into the black hole of political punditry on social media and cable news, and that has helped me tremendously. What also might help me is the fact that this full moon occurs at a degree that forms a trine with the midpoint between my natal Mars/Venus conjunction. I could actually feel supported by the alignment, rather than at my wit’s end.

I’m going to cross my fingers and hope for the best. I’ve got so much going on my life that’s good right now, and I’d be a fool to be distracted by the bad. I’m going to get through this . . .
