Star Struck Style

I published this post about transiting Mercury’s conjunction with my natal Chiron on this day last year. Just a couple of days ago, I published another post about transiting Chiron’s trine to my natal Mercury. In that post, I included the interpretation of the alignment from “Café Astrology.” Today, my astro.com computer-generated forecast was about the same aspect, and the interpretation was nearly identical. In fact, all three passages predicted that I would be delving into personal issues regarding self-perception and psychological wounds that I’ve been dealing with since my childhood.

The strange thing is that I’m feeling tremendously confident right now. I feel as if I’ve overcome most of these insecurities, or at least I’ve learned to deal with them that is more forward-looking. In last year’s post, for instance, I wrote that this alignment “has me feeling ‘connected’ with my current state of well-being — as if I know exactly what I need to do to keep up the momentum I have initiated.”

That’s where I am right now: aware of both my shortcomings and my perceived challenges, yet fully invested in doing what I can to improve both my perception of those issues, and the issues themselves.

I feel powerful this time of year: my previous posts have confirmed that for me. Yet I also feel as if I’m making genuine progress by dealing with my issues in a more holistic fashion.

Now if I could only have as much confidence in the rest of you . . .
