Star Struck Style

Check out this post from eight years ago when a few of the planets were in similar places to where they are today. I described Venus’ entrance into Taurus as follows:

“Venus entered Taurus late last night. Venus is far more comfortable in Taurus than it is in Aries. For the next few weeks, expect people to be a little more easygoing in general. Many individuals who have been riled-up by current events will simply step away from the fray. Picture a boxer practicing on a punching bag, blissfully going about his own business, unconcerned that his sparring partners have been led to the ring one by one, never to return.

Sure, it’s a selfish and decadent position, but it often inspires us to engage in conscious self-preservation. This placement can teach us to hang on to what we’ve got.”

I went on to use the phrase “blissful obliviousness” to explain the coping mechanism that some of us use to make it through troubled times, like the full moon in Aries of 2018. Honestly, I’m right there again. I haven’t turned on television news in weeks.

I feel blessed that I can stick my head in the sand from this place of privilege I occupy. There are times when I’m more able to fight, and there are times when I just need to worry about my own well-being. Right now it’s the latter rather than the former. Nevertheless, Mars enters Aries and conjoins Saturn in just over a week from now, shifting this complacent energy into something more dynamic. I’m not going to be blissfully oblivious for much longer. I don’t think any of us will have that luxury.

Soon . . .
