Good Afternoon, dear Friends and Readers, well, I just heard from a client and she was delayed flying home, which freed up my time. Taking a vacation during Mercury retrograde is not a good thing to do !!!

If you have SAGITTARIUS RISING, the transiting Saturn will be moving through your 3rd house. The 3rd, the natural Gemini house, is about communication, practical education, travel — usually short term or regional travel, by car, truck, train, or bus. The 3rd house is also the local neighborhood. People with SAG rising crave travel, it re-news and refreshes them. Saturn in the 3rd could be business travel or just a lot of seeing friends. With the virus, socializing is tricky but it can be done safely, and the weather warming up will help. The next Mercury retrograde is 5/29 to 6/22/2021, so work around those dates for best results !!

SAG is ruled by Jupiter and with both Jupiter and Saturn in your 3rd it is likely that there will be some big and permanent improvements in your neighborhood or the town where you live. My impression is a large business or store will open up. Good for jobs and the local economy. Other possibilities are better cell reception, or a tech company with coordinated training at the local 2 year college. If it’s major construction and/or road improvements it can be a pain short-term but better in the long run.

This could be a good year to upgrade your personal technology, but work around those squares to transiting Uranus. Since Uranus is most likely in your 6th maybe there’s a program at work that gives you a discount on tech purchases. I wouldn’t loan work tools this year. People with Sag rising are generous; just be more cautious with tools and supplies owned by the company you work for. In general, Jupiter in the 3rd is a good time to buy a car, but Saturn is not. Maybe a business lease for a vehicle is ok, but you should really look carefully at your chart before moving ahead, and for sure NOT during Mercury retrograde!!

The 3rd house is siblings. Also cousins. There may be increased contact with them. Communication is very important. Try very hard to choose your words carefully (Saturn) and say exactly what you mean. There is no better transit to overcome negative thinking than Saturn in our 3rd house. It is very hard work, learning to neutralize negative thoughts. So worth it, though, because you can lay old burdens to rest once and for all and embark on a major renewal of your life :)) Friends can be a big help and support to each other this year, to help overcome old habits. They will cheer you on and vice versa…

IF you have SCORPIO RISING, then SATURN is transiting through your 4th house of home and family. This is not easy but Jupiter may provide a lot of help. The standard definition is the house is too small, too dark, too confining emotionally — like you don’t like who you are living with, etc. The other meaning is harder — Saturn represents the elders in your family, and the 4th house is also your genealogy and your ancestors. So maybe you need to correct some negative family patterns. The best way is to change yourself; we can’t change other people. When I see Saturn moving into the 4th I warn my clients to be attentive to the elders. Worst case scenario is you will lose an older relative during the 2-3 years Saturn moves through the 4th. There are also worse things than dying, an elder could have serious illness or cognitive problems and be unable to care for themselves. Many families are multi-generational and everybody chips in to help the seniors. That was the pattern in historical times, and it still functions well today. However, many families are living at a distance and then it becomes much harder to decide how to provide care. You may already be in the midst of grief, due to the virus and the terrible losses in nursing homes. There is so much grief in the world right now…we lost a Grandpa in our extended family last June and Grandma is now unable to live in her home. Her adult kids found an assisted living home for her — more personal care, and less likely to have more sickness since each senior has their own room. Less expensive than a nursing home and safer, and easier to visit, though not in the winter. I read about some research they did in Virginia. The seniors who lived communally in assisted living, no more than 8 to 10 seniors, fared far better than the nursing homes — less virus and less deaths. Would you like to know why there are more nursing homes with more risk instead of more small assisted living homes that are proven to be safer? It’s because the large nursing home corporations pay lobbyists a LOT of money to make sure they get the government subsidies, with very little left over for the assisted living providers. More Saturn-Pluto greed and corruption stuff. Greed is the root of every big problem in this country. OK, I’ll get off the soapbox…it’s just that even when I was a little girl, I liked seniors. They were always so nice to me…

OK, back to Saturn in the 4th — any gadget that you can obtain to make your home safer, cleaner, easier to manage — and to save time, money, labor or energy is recommended this year. The use of technology for practical purposes is growing very fast. I see commercials where people can operate their appliances, lock up the house or open it, clean the floors,.etc. with their phone and/or their voice. Truly amazing !!

You may end up having more meetings at your house — hopefully outdoors when it’s warmer and safer. Best to check with partners first before you plan these gatherings…they may be for a good purpose, but with transiting Uranus in your 7th your partner may have their own ideas about who they do or don’t want in the house. Not worth getting in a fight about…I have also seen clients with Uranus in their 7th and it can indicate a mid-life crisis. Add in the square from Saturn in the 4th and this could be a difficult situation. Family counselling may be in order…

Well, time to move onto another project. Stay tuned for more…Best Wishes always, Jenae
