Star Struck Style

Transiting Jupiter is still opposing my natal sun, even though it went direct a few weeks ago. In about a week, it will finally move out of this opposition as it picks up speed and continues its journey to the top of my chart.

I haven’t been terribly eager to expand beyond my limitations lately because I’ve been waiting to see what Donald Trump does to fuck up the world before I commit to taking on more gainful employment. Also, I’ve been doing okay making less money. My lifestyle hasn’t suffered too much. Still, I get in these moods where I feel like breaking free from everything that is holding me back from having a good time, and I have to talk myself out of doing anything crazy. I suppose that’s what happens when Jupiter lingers in someone’s ninth house for far too long.

For that reason, I’m really looking forward to Jupiter’s ingress into my more-disciplined tenth house at the end of May. I just had a look at the interpretation of the planet’s upcoming conjunction with my midheaven on astro.com, and I was intrigued by this passage:

“If you are involved in any kind of business activity, you should be careful not to expand too rapidly or overextend yourself. You might leave yourself vulnerable to the more difficult times that will eventually come. Make sure that all expansion is carefully planned and that you have safeguards against future times of difficulty.”

I’m going to take “business activity” to mean any kind of spending. I can’t overextend myself. I’ve spent the last year getting my shit together financially for this very moment. My “safeguards” are already in place, and I need to ensure that they are still there if I need them. The universe threw me a life preserver last year around this time, and I would be a fool to let it float away just because I can.

In a couple of weeks from now, Jupiter will move back into a trine with my natal Chiron, and a sextile with my natal Pluto/Uranus conjunction. That’s a supportive position that should help to keep me on the right track. If I can just keep myself from engaging in any self-sabotaging behavior until then, I should be okay. In the meantime, I just need to hold on to what I’ve already got.

I’ve got this . . .
