Jupiter is now in your sign—joined by Venus and Mars. You have every reason to feel good about yourself, though it would seem that in recent weeks you've either had your doubts, or you've committed to letting go of them. What exactly is this about? One thing to keep an eye on is your concern about others disrupting your life, or the power of their personality dominating you. This can have a way of making you feel like less than who and what you are, which in turn can have a way of making you doubt yourself or your value in someone's eyes. Here is the thing: the force of others' personalities will be an increasing factor in your life for the foreseeable future. You will need to respond consciously—and you have options. The most important one is to learn how to engage people who intimidate you in conversation. I recognize that society is being swallowed by utter panic at the mere thought of going off-script, though this is an art you must master. Once you get good at engaging these high-energy personalities in a dialog, they will cease to be scary. The other bit is being comfortable with people who express desire for you. You have many options for how to respond; though among them, fear is neither useful, helpful nor empowering. Many better choices exist.
