Star Struck Style

I’ve got a lot going on in my horoscope over the next couple of days. Transiting Mars just entered my sixth house a few minutes ago where it will remain until May 2. Mercury conjoins my natal Chiron this evening, which also means that it will oppose my natal Pluto and my natal Uranus. The sun also squared my natal sun early this morning before I got out of bed.

All in all, there are both good and bad things about these shifts in the stars. Mars’ ingress into my sixth house could be rough if I was planning to spend a lot of time at work, but I’m not. I don’t go back to teaching fitness classes until the last week of April, and I’ve been advised to take it easy until then. And until Mars passes over my progressed Mars and transiting Saturn, I’m not too eager to pick up extra shifts or make commitments of any kind. April might be a rough month for others, and I’m not willing to suffer collateral damage by getting pulled into someone else’s orbit. Things are fine here in my own little world.

Perhaps that will change next week when the sun enters my seventh house, but for now I’m going to continue to tune out in the zen garden of my mind. I published a post the other day entitled “Blissful Obliviousness” where I declared that “I feel blessed that I can stick my head in the sand from this place of privilege I occupy.” With the sixth house highlighted in my horoscope, self-isolation seems both necessary and therapeutic. Once the sun shifts signs in a few days, maybe my mind will wander into a place where I believe that I can offer more help to others.

Until that happens, I just need to worry about my own wounds . . .
