Star Struck Style

Between Mars’ conjunction with my natal moon a few days ago, and Jupiter’s opposition to my natal Mars that perfects this afternoon, I’ve been experiencing both restlessness and unfocused anxiety. Neither of these are a normal state of affairs for this old goat.

Anyway, I’ve got a lot going on right now to distract me. What’s more, within the next few days, the sun and Mercury will make major moves in my horoscope, ushering in a new astrological “season” where the universe will seem less noisy and chaotic to me. All these little underlying problems that seem much worse than they really are should just fade away.

In the meantime, I’m going to focus on the slight bit of tension that will be created when Venus opposes Saturn in a couple of days from now. Venus is the ruler of my Libra ascendant, and Saturn is the ruler of my Capricorn sun. When they are at odds, I can generally gain some perspective regarding the push/pull between my decadent, pleasure-loving Venusian nature and my strict, discipline-loving Saturnian side. Currently, Venus is urging me to escape into my own little world while Saturn is compelling me to pick up more shifts at work. Doing both simultaneously might be one of the reasons I’m feeling restless and anxious.

Whatever the case, things are going to be much different in a week from now. I’m looking forward to the change. I could use a little peace and quiet.
