Star Struck Style

In a week from today, I’ll be in a different place — astrologically speaking. In fact, we all will. Uranus makes its move into Gemini. It first moved into the sign of the twins last July for a while, so we’ve all had a sneak peek of what might happen once the planet makes its residency more permanent. I looked back at my blog posts right around the time of the initial ingress, and I discovered that I made the connection between my stress levels and what was becoming a chronic health issue right about the time Uranus initially entered Gemini. That revelation literally changed my life.

I’d be happy to experience another life-changing event, and I just might. Surprises are likely on the horizon for me because not only does this ingress recur in a week from now, but also because Venus simultaneously conjoins my natal north node, and Mercury moves into my seventh house.

I’m already happy that the sun entered Taurus last night, and I’m eager to spend the next month not being so hard on myself. I’m usually quite content with my circumstances when the sun transits the sign of the bull. Nevertheless, with Mercury forming conjunctions with both Mars and Saturn in Aries today (after those two planets met up yesterday), I am wondering what more-reactive people might be feeling today. For that reason, I’m going to avoid those people as much as I can. I’m going to putz around my garden and feed my senses today. I believe that the world I’m living in might change considerably very soon, and I want to enter this new era feeling like I didn’t just spend the last week worried about things that are beyond my control. When I finally did that last year, my chronic health issues disappeared and my life in general became more enjoyable as a result.

So, I’m going to resolve to not spend the week reacting to anything and everything. Any unexpected events that affect the world around me will be met with glacial coolness, as both Venus and Uranus will still be transiting my icy eighth house. Everyone else can spend the next week with their jaws agape while I dither away in my own little world, waiting for the universe to give me something that I can really be surprised about.
