Star Struck Style

I published this post a couple of weeks ago just before the arrival of the Gemini new moon. I had hoped to become a little more disciplined during this lunar phase, but that didn’t really work out as planned. Don’t get me wrong: I haven’t been an undisciplined mess, but I’ve also been a little lazier than usual.

Anyway, I didn’t realize that I’m going to get a second chance to test my resolve. July’s new moon also occurs in my ninth house, only this time it is in Cancer and it’s about a degree away from my midheaven. If I had bothered to look ahead, I would have planned accordingly. This will be a far more auspicious time to behave myself.

Of course, this oversight occurred while planets were travelling through my ninth house. The ninth house is where we focus on “the big picture,” often while ignoring the details. I try to not get too far ahead of myself when I’m looking into my horoscope, but I really should pay more attention to these lunar cycles, especially because I’ve made this mistake before. Also, I know from experience just how scatterbrained I can be during ninth-house transits.

Nevertheless, this current cycle has seen me expanding my horizons somewhat, regardless of my lack of focus. I’ve been out of the house more. I’ve visited parts of the city that I haven’t seen in years. I guess that I can count that as a win. In fact, I’m going to plan to do more “ninth house” things until the arrival of the Cancer new moon. It’s what I should have resolved in the first place. In the meantime, I’m just going to thank my lucky stars for this cosmic reset.

Things are fine . . .
