For a time when all the planets are direct and the pace of life is supposed to be full speed ahead, it sure doesn’t feel that way around here. My guess is this is due in large part to Saturn traveling at a crawl preparing to station retrograde on 18 February. After all Saturn is not exactly big on doing things quickly even under the best of circumstances and sitting at 11° for what will be close to seven weeks is hardly that. Saturn actually stations retrograde on 18 February, the same day the Sun makes its egress into Pisces but for all intents and purposes, it might as well be retrograde now as slowly as it’s moving.
Being in the fixed sign of Scorpio, Saturn is inclined to push for taking the time to dig up all the background information you can and that can be time consuming. As someone with Mercury in Scorpio, I can hardly fault him for that. Those times when I’ve gotten into trouble have usually been when I rushed ahead, ignoring my intuition and without getting all the pertinent data.
I suppose I should mention this grouchy Saturn will square Venus in Aquarius this Sunday and probably attempt to do an authoritarian number on her . . . like that will work with this free spirited Venus.
Even though Jupiter in Gemini is now direct, he isn’t back up to his usual speed either and this frustrates him because Uranus in Aries is urging him to move faster via an exciting sextile. It will be almost March before Jupiter starts to feel like his old self once more . . . and by then Mercury, Gemini’s ruler, will be retrograde in Pisces. This weekend Mercury and Mars will square Jupiter, adding to his sense of frustration and to ours. Consider doing some sort of vigorous exercise rather than venting on others. Even in mild mannered Pisces a Mars-Mercury conjunction square by Mr. Bombast himself will be inspired to do something or say lots and lots of somethings!
Because my natal Jupiter in Scorpio in the twelfth is the apex of a Yod with Jupiter in Gemini sextile Uranus in Aries as the base, I can hardly wait for Jupiter to leave 6°. Much of my inspiration (Jupiter) emerges when I can spend a fair amount of time alone. Uranus has been conjunct my husband’s Sun recently, so his almost daily schedule changes have been disrupting my creative flow. So if my writing is very sketchy these days, that’s why. Naturally I’m hoping when Jupiter hits 7° on 18 February, this situation will begin to ease. Yeah . . . the day Saturn stations and the Sun enters Pisces!

Wow,Diane!! I can relate! My Jupiter/Neptune are in the 12th in Scorpio- overwhelmed is a constant state. Bach Flowers, and EFT are huge helps. Did you know there is an ETF World Summit on Tapping right n

Do you need a great deal of solitude to help keep you sane? That and good quality sleep? I have to sleep w/the curtains closed during a Full Moon or I will toss and turn all night.

Yeah I have Aqu. Venus…Ouch!
Diane how does Saturn transiting over your mercury work/feel? my kid has a Scorpio mercury and is now in the midst of the transit. He is still very young but I’ve noticed big jumps in his abilities (i.e learning to write and read

It seems to me Saturn transiting Mercury helps us focus. Because my Mercury is within 3° of my ASC, Saturn transits affect both. When Saturn conjoined my Mercury as a child, I discovered the library & had my nose buried in a book from then on out.
Mercury in Scorpio is excellent for being able to retain information.

Yeah I looked to the 18th thinking the same. I was hoping for instant zippadidodah action on jupiter direct. Saturn faffing about in my 9th and jupiter dragging his heels in my 5th.
I couldn’t even get a open university course organised as I kept getting a block so I thought perhaps it’s the wrong time. I actually felt relieved, like schools over and it’s play time.
1st house new moon to boot I realise I don’t have anything to prove to anyone as I am good enough right now without proving it in a bit of paper. Uranus in 2nd is looking for innovative ways to earn money. I’m rebelling and claiming my 15 mins of fame lol

LOL! None of those outer planets get back up to speed all that quickly. Cranky old things.
I learned many years ago to pay attention to clues such as feeling blocked from going a certain direction. Those times when everything feel into place made it obvious I was on the right path.

Good luck with that! I am a big proponent of “right livelihood” and wish everyone could find theirs . . . even though I’m not sure what mine is. *shakes head*

This is spot on for me. I have Saturn transiting the 12th and right now I am being my own detective. I am gathering the correct information to write a letter to the Chairman of the Board of the organization I used to work for. I doubt this person knows the finer points as to what has been going on under their nose. This is an organization that has 12th house written all over it and it’s time to open Pandoras’ box….but with the correct facts.
Thanks for the comment about Jupiter not being up to speed until March. I have it in the 7th and things are still a bit stagnant. As usual Diane, you tells us all the important things we need to know and observe.You are my most important guide this year.

Yes, making sure you have verifiable information is critical when dealing with institutions of any kind. If you have some in writing so much the better. Be careful!

Yep, I had thought Jupiter doing direct in my first house would light a fire underneath things there, so this news about March is good to have. As you recall, I’ve been enduring a marathon slog regarding this addition (Jupiter) to my literal house/home. I did notice that on the day the Big Guy went direct, the part of the wall (Saturn?) separating the expansion (Jupiter?) from the rest of the house was finally carved into a doorway. Now the old and the new are joined, but it’s slow going. The coinciding events were some reassurance that all is on schedule, even if not to the speed I’d like. Drywall is up, mudding is done, but a lot remains to be done. Excruciating! If I come out of this even mildly sane, it will be miraculous.
Hey Joe!

I was thinking about your situation when writing this post! Having tJupiter stationing in your 1st House makes you extra aware of what’s going on with him. By April Jupiter will be waxing trine your Venus (& then the rest of your Libra planets) and you will probably be feeling much better about this project.

As my Aries hubby reminds his clients, drying time is a critical component, often overlooked. Details like waiting for the different subs to do their part & then waiting for inspections can slow the process down to a crawl too. LOL Maybe it’s a good thing the upcoming Mercury Retch is taking place in your 10th house instead of your 4th!
It will be absolutely wonderful when it is complete!!
