I woke up yesterday feeling oddly energized and ready to kick butt in every aspect of my life. And this morning, I read this:
You are fortunate to have Mars in your sign, for it indicates that you are poised to start an important two-year cycle on August 3, and you will have this advantage until September 18. You will have plenty of get-up-and-go these days, and something or someone seems to have energized and motivated you in a big way. Everyone wants Mars in their sign, for it means you will be the leader of the zodiac until mid-September, an enviable position. You'll have courage and drive, and no challenge will seem too big or too daunting to tackle.
I DO feel energized and motivated. It started yesterday morning, when I resolved to sit down with my calendar and plan the month's schedule for both business and pleasure, and my very important recharging time (introverted types must always allow for personal recharge). I have a busy month ahead, and I'm feeling charged up and ready to work hard.
This part made me laugh:
It may help to know you are about to enter into a high spending period from September 18 to November 11, due to the entry of Mars into your second house of earned income. Perhaps you already know this, and have planned for it. If not, it may be good to know your expenses are due to rise during that seven-week period. Still, Mars will make you very assertive about going after more money, and if you are in sales or marketing, you may be very fired up about finding new sources. In that case, it could be a very productive time!
Um, yeah, I anticipate that WILL be a "high spending period" - my son is getting married October 22nd, and my second granddaughter will be arriving in mid-October back in Florida! I will be doing the Mother of the Groom thing, and the Monday after the wedding the dogs and I will be in the car on our way to FL to meet my new granddaughter - and between now and then, I have a LOT to do. But apparently I'll get a good burst of energy from Mars - I'm feeling it already.
I need it. Starting my own self-employed life has been scary and challenging and overwhelming. I felt like I was working 24/7. Last week I woke up in the middle of the night with my thoughts racing, stressed out and dreaming of MLS searches. That experience was sadly reminiscent of my corporate days, when I rarely slept through the night and often dreamed of work deadlines. It forced me to take a step back and analyze what I was doing wrong. It wasn't that I was "working too hard" - it was that I was working without focus and control. I took a big step back over the weekend and gave myself permission to slow down and focus on the things that will make me feel more confident and efficient in my job. I've slept fine since that awful, sleepless night.
I've made a change to the afghan for Supergirl. I wasn't happy with the chocolate brown border on the squares, and have ordered a neutral creamy white from WEBS. I do love the humble granny - I was able to zip off those brown borders in no time, and have colorful squares stacked and waiting for re-edging in the new color.
I'm going to take a lesson from Sophie and relax.
