Star Struck Style

I published a post yesterday about Jupiter’s imminent trine to my natal Chiron where I included a interpretation from “Café Astrology.” This morning, I read another interpretation of the uncommon transit on astro.com:

“Under this very positive influence you will, at least to a certain extent, be able to change your spots. You could confide in a well-meaning person and reveal things that you would otherwise keep to yourself. This influence will also help you to discover such a person, quite possibly someone within your wider circle of friends. Any kind of therapy or treatment will now be particularly beneficial. This is also a good time to begin a new therapy or course of study or further education on the subject. A change of place can have a positive effect as well, and you can be certain that any holiday will be especially rejuvenating.

You can now experience a process of healing or self-healing that begins by questioning the meaning of individual and collective suffering. Things that you usually find psychologically or physically embarrassing or painful will now lose some of their gravity. Hidden feelings of being ashamed or inadequate will seem less oppressive, and you can accept and see them in a more objective light. You are now more tolerant of your own sensitivities and more prepared than usual to make compromises. If you are a little prone to self-pity, you may now be better able to let go of such feelings. You can gain new perspectives on things. You perceive the bigger picture and discover the meaning of what you otherwise complain about.”

I do feel as if I could change my spots right now. In fact, in yesterday’s post I declared that I could see myself changing direction at an age when a lot of people are ready to give up. I suppose that has as much to do with Jupiter’s trine to my natal Chiron as it does with Jupiter’s sextile to my natal Pluto. Those transits occur simultaneously, immediately followed by Jupiter’s sextile to my natal Uranus. With that transit on horizon, I wouldn’t be surprised if a life-changing opportunity came my way. Whether or not I would act upon the opportunity to change my life is another question.

Nevertheless, recognizing that I’m in a position to change my spots if I needed to feels good to me. I do believe that I’m an optimist regarding my own abilities, but I also understand how I allow the prevailing mood in the world around me to affect my outlook. Right now, I feel as if I can succeed despite those somewhat-limiting circumstances, and that’s a great place to be.

Soon . . .
