Star Struck Style

Transiting Mars conjoins my natal Jupiter today. “Café Astrology” describes the uncommon event as follows:

“This is an excellent time for almost any kind of physical activity. Your energy is high, and you feel very strong and vigorous. The only problem to watch out for is that your feelings of exuberance may lead you to take unnecessary risks, especially in athletics or in work that has any inherent danger. If you are foolishly overconfident, you can have accidents during this time. You may also be inclined to indulge in other risks, such as gambling or speculative financial ventures. But if these ventures are at all valid or have any potential for success, you should succeed. This is basically a ‘lucky’ influence, or so it seems. Actually it is not so much luck as the fact that you have such total confidence now that your activities are much more likely to succeed.”

I am feeling quite good. I’ve had lots to do over the last few days because I’ve been picking up extra shifts at work. I’ve had the energy to do everything I need to do, plus a little more. That’s a regular occurrence this time of year, though. The sun is transiting my tenth house, and I’m feeling more ambitious than usual.

However, it’s my confidence in my own abilities that seems to be peaking. No one can tell me anything right now. I might need to take a step back before I start to come off as arrogant.

In a couple of days from now, the transiting sun will oppose my natal Mars. That alignment should bring me back down to earth if I start to behave like I’m above it all. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy these “feelings of exuberance” while I can. The part of the world where I live looks just like the photo I used to illustrate this post. I’m going to try to make plans to get out into the world where I can revel in the splendor of a summertime on the Canadian prairies. Wasting this energy sitting inside is probably the worst thing I could do.

Until next time . . .
