Star Struck Style

In a couple of hours from now, Mars will enter my seventh house where it will remain until June 5. Out of curiosity, I went back through my old blog posts where I found the following passage regarding the transit:

“I don’t really fear a Mars transit through my seventh house because Mars’ influence is muted when it moves through that part of my chart. The planet isn’t personalized in my horoscope through sign or house placement, so I don’t have to pay special attention to it like I do with Venus’ transits. And when I say it’s moving through a part of my chart where its influence is weakened, I’m not exaggerating. I find that I am more aggressively diplomatic while the red planet is in my seventh house. It doesn’t make me combative whatsoever.”

That makes me happy. Last night, while I was walking home from work, I felt a tremendous amount of inner peace. This morning, I feel well-rested and ready to enjoy my day. I’m not feeling combative at all, which is something that is associated with both Mars transiting Aries and Mars opposing the ascendant. While I believe that I would stand my ground if conflict were to arise, I am not looking for a fight (as some interpretations of this transit would indicate).

Hopefully, I can spend the next month or so moving in circles where I can maintain this level of serenity. Perhaps I can also commit to being a better friend and a better coworker at the same time. Mars doesn’t have to be just a catalyst for aggression in my chart. It can also be what energizes me and urges me to initiate better relationships during its transits. I don’t need to let it get under my skin, and I can thank my lucky stars that if it does get under my skin, this is the time of the year that I can always escape to the tranquility of my garden or the duck pond down the road from my house.

I’m feeling fortunate and cosmically-blessed this morning. Now I just need to be sure that no one else fucks this up for me . . .
