Star Struck Style

Mercury enters my tenth house this afternoon under remarkably similar circumstances to the post I published above, and the blog entry that inspired it back in 2018. In this cycle, it returns to my ninth house in the second week of July, and then reconnects with my midheaven in the first week of August.

Many of the themes in this post are recurring, including a bit of financial panic. However, I just got assigned a new task at one of my jobs that I can do from home. Like a similar gig I had just before Christmas, this will result in a ton of billable hours that will get me back on track. In the meantime, I just have to avoid the sort of midsummer clearance sales on designer clothes that can have me spending money before I’ve earned it.

It will be nice to have Mercury vacate my ninth house for a while. I have been rather undisciplined over the past week, despite the fact that I told myself that I wanted to cultivate a sense of self-mastery during the current new moon cycle that began a week ago today. Even though Mercury is still a couple of hours away from moving into my tenth house, I’m already feeling like this upcoming week is going to bring out the best out of me. My thoughts have turned to practical concerns instead of idealistic flights of fancy.

That’s what’s tough about having planets gang up in my ninth house. I’m cautiously optimistic by nature, so I don’t need the encouragement I get when that part of my chart is highlighted. I see opportunities where they don’t exist.

Anyway, the sun just moved into Cancer and I can already sense that things have changed. I sometimes loathe summer because I hate the heat, but I’m looking forward to the next few months. I’m reluctant to put it into the universe, but I feel ambitious again after not feeling ambitious for as long as I can remember.

What a difference a week makes . . .
