A Bad Day

Yesterday I felt very bad psychologically and not good physically either. I wasn't good in the morning and by midday I took two panadol and lay down to rest. Psychologically, I'd been feeling quite negative for a few days but physically I'd been OK. Yesterday I felt I was coming down with the flu or a bad cold. However, today I feel much better. What was happening transit-wise yesterday. Well, as it turns out, quite a lot. See Figure 1.

Figure 1

Let's list the transits that were active yesterday.

• Chiron R was in 25º31' of Aries was conjunct my Ascendant in 24º15' of Aries: still active
• Mercury was in 24º39' of Libra, conjunct my Descendant: still active
• Sun in 10º15' of Libra, opposite my Mars-Venus conjunction: still active
• Ceres in 9º27' of Aries, conjunct my Mars-Venus conjunction: still active
• Moon in 18º07' of Aquarius, opposite my Ceres-Pluto conjuction

Transiting Neptune and Saturn of course are in early Aries and late Pisces respectively and remain very influential in the long term. Given the transient nature of my condition, it would seem that the Moon's transit was the probable culprit. However, notice how transiting Venus in 16º47' Virgo is exactly conjunct the Moon's South Node in 16º55' of Virgo. This very transient aspect might be a contributing factor although it doesn't seem to impact my natal chart in any obvious way.

Body Woes

Here are the transits to my natal chart as of November 9th 2024. I've been feeling not so good physically over the past few days. I tire easily, my possibly fractured rib remains sore, my right shoulder continues to bother me, I have tooth trouble and so on.

Looking at the transits it can be seen that transiting Mercury is passing over my natal Chiron but this aspect is not long lasting. The main culprit it would seem is transiting Saturn that is retrograde and semisextile my natal Sun. It will grind to a halt in 12º42' of Pisces on November 16th. It will also form a quintile of 73º27' with my natal Moon.

It will ease off toward the end of November but I'm not looking forward to the passage of Saturn across my natal planets in Aries. This is probably only a year or so off now. Speaking of stations, on the 8th December 2024, Neptune (currently retrograde) will station in 27º08' of Pisces and then begin to move forward into Aries, reaching that sign on the 30th March 2025. On the 6th July 2025, it will station in 2º10' right on my natal Mercury. Transiting Saturn by this date will be in 1º54' of Aries, so this is an important transit. Desy's Ascendant is in the first degree of Aries so she will be affected as well.

Even though Saturn and Neptune are very close in July, only 0º16' of angular separation, there is no exact conjunction because on July 14th Saturn turns stationary retrograde in 1º56' of Aries and retreats back into Pisces at a rate much faster than the retrograde Neptune. By December both planets are in Pisces but about four degrees apart and in this month they turn direct again, finally reaching an exact conjunction on the 20th February in around the middle of 0º Aries.
