I don’t want to write too often about personal experiences in astrology. I’ve done it a lot this year. I’ve been short on new ideas. But I’ve seen things that are worth sharing. I think the Mercury Rx left its lingering effects a few days after it stationed direct. Actually the day Mercury stationed, October 18, was when my troubles began. My laptop got killed by a renegade update with a hidden agenda, trying to install software that my three-year-old processor could not support. My laptop froze and wouldn’t let me in. It came down to the reality that my laptop would never start again and I had to get a new one, with the attendant quirks and problems. It took several days before I was back in business and could finally write again. (Although, being compulsive, I wrote in my old faithful spiral notebook the whole time.)
Mars was conjunct Mercury. Mars makes things happen, usually of a more physical nature. I heard about communication things happening to other people, too, and some passing remarks about Mercury Rx. Have you ever heard of a urologist conducting an examination virtually? For an old man who doesn’t know his way around a computer? Not happening. That sure was a stupid idea. I also went on a daytrip with my family and got lost on the way there to meet them.
I fell and hurt my knee just as the Sun contacted my Saturn in Scorpio. It’s nothing serious, and I’ll ice it and take care of it. Mars would also cause a fall but he’s out of the loop in Libra. Two things: Saturn slows things down or blocks you, maybe for a good reason. Saturn also makes you focus, endure, keep going even if it’s a little slower, and you are more determined. You make the best of the situation. My Saturn is strong, probably the best planet in my chart, with Mars and Jupiter. And I’m a tough old broad.
