Hammer for Progress
Overview
The easy-flowing Grand-trine configurations detract from the underlying needs. Saturn turns direct transit on Saturday and Mercury in Scorpio returns to direct transit on Sunday. Epic controversies, with Venus opposition aspect to Uranus consume attention. Thor’s Hammer configuration on Sunday and Monday indicates the personality most likely to win in a legal battle. Some compromises may be agreed to by next Wednesday.
Wednesday, November 26th
Saturn in Pisces trine aspect to Jupiter in Cancer now trine aspect to Venus in Scorpio for a grand-trine configuration in water signs, as Venus now takes the place of the Sun and Mercury to uphold the configuration indicating a flowing sensitivity and sensationalism. While Jupiter seeks to expand the issues involved, there is sensitivity in the sign Cancer, disposed of by the Moon. Saturn assists in defining, although in Pisces, there may be a wide range of targets. Venus in Scorpio could relate to the hidden finances exposed. A rush to counter the allegations following the expose will surely follow. The Moon transiting Aquarius and sextile aspect to Mars in Sagittarius, disposed of by Uranus in Taurus, indicates that the targets will take vigorous court action, claiming political animus. The Moon is square aspect to Mercury in Scorpio late in the day, or overnight, depending on location, morning hours on Thursday for UK, EU, and ME.
