For tomorrow's SLR, I have Saturn 2°25' from my Zenith. It makes me nervous. Do I need to run east for a few hours to make that gap bigger, or do you think I'll be okay?

[Jim Eshelman]

That's pretty wide. I'll take a detailed look at it soon, but a Zenith contact past 2 degrees is like a major angle past 7 degrees (more or less).

I'll get back on this later this morning.

See, I think if I scoot eastward to Sulphur, LA, then I still get the good stuff with none of the bad stuff. And it's only an hour away.

The SLR is precise at 3:42pm my time (CST).

Is there a rule of thumb on how long I need to be there before and after the precise moment?

[Jim Eshelman]

For Beaumont, t Venus squares MC about half a degree, and the Saturn is quite weak. Venus opposite Uranus in the foreground is the strongest aspect.

But I see one troublemaker Natal Neptune is exactly setting and the barely angular Saturn squares it. That suggests disappointment.

I agree that Sulphur keeps the. Venus, strengthens Uranus, and loses Saturn (and Saturn-Neptune) altogether.

[Lance]

Yes, the opportunity has opened up to take a little trip tomorrow about that time, without consequence, and I am of the persuasion to do it!

Thank you for taking a look. I’d like to try to keep my Yule merry!

[Jim Eshelman]

An hour's drive? Definitely worth it IMHO.
