Hello, ducks! Now that Mercury’s no longer retrograde (for this quarter, anyway), we can think about some other aspects lurking out there in space, probably causing Science Officer Spock’s instrument panel to wig out on him. Fascinating.
Anyway, for all you Aries people – the midnight snackers; (you know who you are) and the rest of the Fire Signs: Leo and Sagittarius, sit up and take notice of Our Friend Saturn glumly residing in Aries until April 12, 2028. Glumly, because Saturn is the Taskmaster, the Adulting Administrator, and doesn’t get along that well with the typical brash, impetuous, fiery Aries. Just a friendly warning to our favorite Rams – responsibilities are going to press heavy upon you at times during this Saturn transit. This doesn’t mean your life will literally be all work and no play – but it’s going to seem like it at times. Leo and Sagittarius may get a comeuppance at this time as well, but since Saturn will be trine your Sun at some point in the cycle, consult an ephemeris and make good use of that benevolent aspect!
Aries, you’ll be feeling those vibes off and on, so just be sure you’ve got a list drawn up to remind you of the tasks which can no longer be put off and get those accomplished first. And believe it or not, cranky old man Saturn will then reward you with something you’ve been longing for, these many moons.
Now here comes the whoops! part – you’ve read that Neptune, that foggy, hidden motives, sometimes deceptive planet is also in Aries, albeit for a much longer time. Aries, this is not the time to fall for scam calls on your phone or leaping at what seems to be the deal of a lifetime without checking the background details first. Especially while Saturn and Neptune are trudging the same degrees, you need to have your Deception Detector on constantly. Neptune won’t finally leave Aries until May 21, 2039, so keep your radar operating and watch the road for potholes.
Some of the above advice will also be good for Leo and Sagittarius, because that Neptune trine could lead you to tiptoeing through the tulips and winding up in a financial mess. Just – be careful. Go ahead and pay an expert for an analysis, a survey, an inspection and consider it money well spent before signing that dotted line.
Keep your chin up, Aries, because Jupiter will be in Leo from this June 29th to July 25, 2027, and at some point will provide a nice little trine between itself, the planet of benevolence and goodwill, and your natal Sun (as well as any other planets you may have in Aries). A lovely respite for you too, Leo and Sagittarius. It’ll be stronger for Leo, since Jupiter will be conjunct your natal Sun, but this is the natural order of things. Sagittarius will get some of the goodies as well. Remember, the planets do not compel, they impel. A big difference at times.
So there you have it. Madame Zombra simply loves it when she can find a cheerful note, even for a Saturn transit. So stay well, find ways to decompress from the daily flood of bad news and stress, and keep on keeping on.
