Jupiter Transit Natal Mercury

 Jupiter transits conjunction with natal Mercury at 58 arcseconds.

"favorable time for business dealings, signing contracts."

I have decided to buy a new truck this morning. It is time for a dependable vehicle with all this poor weather. I am not selling, trading in or putting money down. I know what I want and need, and my credit is good! I have crunched the numbers, so any amount of downpayment will not be affecting the monthly payment because of the APR and conditions.

Moon Transits Opposite Natal Mars

Moon transits opposition natal Mars at 26 arcminutes "often triggers intense, temporary emotional volatility, pitting inner needs against impulsive actions."

Although Mars is one of my planets reflecting two-thirds of my traditional natal aspects, and Moon is already a hard aspect in my chart (squared) this yet may be a challenging one today. I will need to watch out for mood swings. Jupiter is at home and expansive in Cancer, which will soften the blow. Mars transits sextile Mars and may also balance out aggressiveness.

 Jupiter Transits to the Natal Chart | Cafe Astrology .com

"Jupiter transits conjunct Mercury This is a time when your usual way of thinking and seeing the world is infused with a grander, bigger perspective. You see the big picture now, but be careful that it is not at the expense of critical details. Details may be glossed over, and you may tend towards over-optimism now.

"This transit presents an excellent opportunity to grow mentally and intellectually. Learn everything you can. Your ideas may be appreciated more than ever, so be sure to get your ideas across and put them “out there.” You might receive some great news–or deliver it.

"As long as you don’t overdo it, this is a great time to sell yourself, sign papers, make decisions, deliver speeches, and buy and sell. Your positive attitude lies at the heart of this opportune time. You may be feeling mentally restless–consider that restlessness is a signal that your mind is primed to learn more. If you are feeling nervous, you may have your finger in too many pies.

"What does Mercury rule in your chart? Look to the houses of your natal chart with Gemini and Virgo on the cusp for areas of your life where Jupiter is acting to expand. Look to planets in Gemini and Virgo in your chart to see other parts of your personality that Jupiter is now infusing with optimism."

Jupiter transits natal Mercury today at 36 arcseconds. My glasses broke a few days ago. My spares are adequate but the prescription is "off." I bought replacement frames for the lenses in my old glasses off-line. In order to get 25% off my purchase I signed up for Prime and got Prime Video while I was at it. All-in-all I feel this is a well-though-out purchase.

Solar Return 2020 Mercury, Venus and Mars Aspects

Solar Return Mercury square Jupiter (6°07s)

With Mercury square Jupiter in your Solar Return chart, there will be times when you are inclined to overdo things or to promise more than you can deliver due to an optimistic, but not necessarily realistic, attitude. Your eyes may be bigger than your stomach. You may feel vague restlessness and discontent with life as it is, although you are generally in a happy mood. Elevated moods could also be rather unstable, as they may not be based on reality. Channeled well, this energy can represent creative power.

Solar Return Mercury square Uranus (5°48s)

When Mercury is square or opposite Uranus in the solar return chart, you might be subjected to psychologically stressful situations. Increased nervousness, anxiety, and irrational thinking may be directly related to these taxing circumstances. Question the necessity for excessive tension in your life. If possible, withdraw from those situations that strain your mental and physical health.

Stress is also caused by continuing disruptive changes in the information received. Startling facts and shocking realizations are possible according to the house placement for Mercury and Uranus (8th & 6th, resp.) The stream of shifting information impedes the decision-making process. Thinking tends to flip-flop with each modification. Opinions expressed may require a future retraction. The task is to think before you speak and only make decision after a thorough investigation.

The good news is that this can be a creative time if you approach problems from several different angles and do not get locked into one structured way of thinking. Use this time to be innovative and original. Brainstorm with others and channel insights into practical applications. Because your mind can be unstructured, your ability to think clearly may be interrupted by erratic impulses and an inability to concentrate over any length of time. New information and ideas might be more exciting than reorganizing what you already know. If you must work on a major project that requires sustained mental energy, take frequent breaks. Work on calming and nurturing your nervous system. You may want to practice relaxation techniques and avoid stimulants.

Solar Return Venus conjunct Venus (1°28s)

Venus to Venus, Same Gender: Compatibility with others whom you love and care deeply for is highlighted this year. You may feel in a romantic mood for much of this year. Socially you may enjoy  great popularity, as you meet people who have similar likes and dislikes. There is a sense of inner harmony and peace. There is consistency with your psychological values, as you are in sync here. You have ample opportunity to share beautiful experiences with others. This may be a year for acquisitions which you will value greatly, perhaps even receiving gifts and/or praise from others. Financially there may be gains and you seem on track, according to goals you have set for yourself. This is a year of satisfying desires, especially sensual ones. Furthermore it is a time of being treated with fairness or favoritism by others. Also you seem satisfied with your appearance and/or style. In fact, there may be favorable experiences involving your physical appearance (increasing attractiveness i.e. hair style, new clothes etc.)

Solar Return Venus Sextile Ascendant  (4°53s)

This is a year in which agreements and relationships of a very positive nature may unfold. In business, agreements lead to financial success.

For the year, you exude more than your usual grace and charm. Romantic matters also are highlighted. You have a wonderful and appealing nature which draws others to you. In addition, your personal appearance is very attractive – even you like the way you look! Furthermore, others whom you find exciting and attractive come into your life, and from this, love may transpire. Things of beauty and value may also come into your possession. Financially, you tend to do very well this year, and your savings may increase, thus affording you a greater sense of financial and psychological security. You are encouraged to purchase things that will make you feel “good” about yourself, or to change your appearance in some way if you wish (i.e. clothing, plastic surgery, etc.). You may also function very well as a mediator between two opposing views, and receive compliments from both sides. If the aspect to the Ascendant is not exact, you may wish to consult with a qualified professional astrologer who can advise you on where this aspect would be more exact. The closer this aspect is to exact, the more powerful its correlation to your life experience is likely to be.

expression.

Solar Return 2020 Moon Aspects

You will respond sensitively and sympathetically to the demonstrations of love and affection from others. You will enjoy social encounters and, if you are available, you might meet a special someone and fall in love.

Your urge for affection may be temperamental, but insistent when active.

Within six weeks you may feel very energetic and highly motivated. Many of your activities seem to be going great, and much of your success is due to your own enthusiasm and hard efforts.

There is a sense of "newness" about you, of adventurousness. There is also a healthy sense of competition, and you fare well in activities with others. You have a "passion" for life, and in fact your physical passions may be highly aroused. In addition, you exhibit very fine leadership skills, combined with a healthy pioneering spirit. This is an excellent time to plan things you want to go well.

Hard aspects to Mars can bring with them confrontations and moments of emotional anger. This is largely because you are far from indifferent on an emotional level this year. Your passions are aroused and it is hard for you to step back and objectively review any given situation. You can be emotionally impulsive during this period of your life, and your hunger for new experiences can reveal itself in restlessness and/or impatience.

The house placement of Jupiter should indicate where expansion is likely to occur.

There also could be unexpected changes in your home environment that will help you to live with more comfort and freedom. Your intuition will sharpen and this could bring the possibility for some psychic or mystical experiences during this year.

Solar Return Moon Trine Ascendant (0°41a)

This is a year of many positive changes which effect you emotionally. Very intimate relationships may be cultivated, or solidified (as in marriage). You are well aware that others care greatly for you, and as a recipient of that love, your own inner nature is moved deeply. Your emotional needs are fulfilled. In the eyes of the public, you are held in very high regard. If you wish to make changes in your residence - either relocate or remodel your home - this year denotes success. In all matters dealing with the family or real estate, this portends favorable results. It is a year to nurture and be nurtured, to care and be cared for. It is potentially a year of a great and special love.

Solar Return Sun square Solar Return MC (4°28a)

You could meet with obstacles or oppositions in your profession during this year. You will have to work and sacrifice more in order to achieve the position that you desire. Don’t get too obsessed with blaming others though because it could be due, in part, to the fact that you reject the ideas and opinions of others. Due to your negative attitude, your social life could also be affected. You will feel that your objectives are not in tune with others and will insist on doing things your own way. You will probably prefer working alone as much as possible this year so you will not have to deal with opposition from others.

Situations not related to your profession could also be problematical for you. These could be things like disagreements with your partner or business associates, problems in your home life, or your own lack of enthusiasm for and trust in your own projects. It is important that you define your goals and that you work with perseverance to achieve them without letting anything get in your way.

Begins Neptune Square Neptune

How can Neptune square itself? In the transiting/natal chart, that's how. Neptune is the planet of "all is not what it seems" in any astrological chart, horary or otherwise. In a dream, I was visited by a "so-called" nemesis who never seemed to have my best interests at heart. In a professional setting, why should she? We were in different departments and had done absolutely nothing to this person to garner any sort of retribution from her.

Turns out that my feelings that she had been at the center of a significant issue affecting whether I could work at this place were baseless. She had a piece of paper with the date "December 17, 2014" written on it. It was a checklist (I can only assume a competency checklist as, as of now, I am amid completing one for a completely non-related line-of -work as we speak). A little background: charges of in competency were leveled at me so that my boss could replace me with her best friend's daughter who had just received her degree from an institution of higher learning. And, for the record, the Superintendent offered me my job back, or at least a position at my old school, which i turned down "in the better interest of the student body and overall morale of the school". In other words, I chose not to return and exact revenge to make their lives a living hell.)

 In a nutshell, this dream encourages me to move on from this horrible experience that nearly made me leave teaching (for good) because of being subject, nee "bullied", for over a year because of my physical appearance--no, not by students, but by other teachers. I had a good lawsuit pending against the board for this, but they made me an offer I couldn't refuse, a dream job at a much better school, an apology and a "thank you" for being both professional and patient during the process. Here's what "futureminders" has to say about Neptune square Neptune, which happens only once in a lifetime:

"Conditions may not be what they seem, and uncertainty can keep you running in circles. Because this cycle involves subtle forces, you may not clearly recognize their effects, and sometimes there are none. However, influences behind the scenes, while they may be hidden, can have an impact. Confusion can arise at this time because you often see things as they appear rather than how they really are. A challenge now is to distinguish clearly between fact and fiction. Otherwise you can get lost or possibly feel victimized by misguided faith." [Read the rest of it here.]

 The defecation has yet to hit the oscillation at my old school, but I wish them all the luck in the world. They're going to need it.
