Star Struck Style

The sun conjoins my natal Jupiter tomorrow afternoon, about four hours before the new moon in Gemini occurs in my ninth house. I was thinking about going to the casino to try my luck, but I’ve been through this before. One time, several years ago, I had one of the luckiest days of my life at the casino while the stars were lined up in this fashion. A few years before that, I experienced the best professional opportunity I’ve ever had in similar astrological circumstances.

While I would like nothing more than to have another lucky day, my daily horoscope on astro.com is actually warning me against believing that nothing can go wrong tomorrow. The interpretation of the annual event reads as follows:

“Today you desire experience and activity. It will not be enough to stay in exactly the same place you have been. But instead of making you dissatisfied, as might be expected, this desire makes you go after what you want, with complete optimism that you will get it. On the intellectual level, this influence can signify study or other mind-expanding inquiry. You have a strong desire to understand and know, even about ideas that you normally consider to be beyond your understanding. It is very important today that you act with a firm sense of discipline and not simply indulge every compulsive whim that comes along. Take on the projects that you can handle plus a little extra, but not very much extra. Handle your resources intelligently and be careful not to invest unwisely.”

I do need to act with “a firm sense of discipline” because I’m not making enough money right now to misbehave myself. Plus, I’ve been through this so many times before that I fully understand how reckless I can be when Jupiter is whispering sweet nothings in my ear. So, that’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to indulge myself over the next couple of days, but I’m going to do so without believing that I need to hit the jackpot in order to feel lucky. I’m already a lucky guy who is living a remarkably easy life. I need to thank my lucky stars for what I have instead of indulging “every compulsive whim that comes along.”

I can do that once my bills are paid . . .
