Mercury transits Saturn...

[Jim Eshelman]

Well, Marion left town today for a business weekend trip. Half-way to Union Station, she called me to say, dang [that wasn't her word], she forgot her tablet's power cord, was spinning back home, was worried about missing her train. We talked about how to make the hop upstairs efficient, and she was off to spin home, grab it, and zoom back.

She emailed me about the time of departure to say she made it aboard but, dang [that wasn't her word], she'd lost her phone. She had her tablet now, and Wi-Fi available, so she'd emailed. We quickly worked out an alternate way to exchange texts all day and speculated the phone was at home, where I'd find it and have it for her when she returns Monday.

It was a frustrating ride with no phone, and crappy Wi-Fi that would let her send an email or do other minimal things, but wouldn't even load a web page more complex than Google's home page.

On top of that, I got home and couldn't find the phone. But I launched the online monitor and find it still has two-thirds of a battery and is currently on line somewhere downtown around Union Station. Since that's the only place she stopped downtown, we going on the theory that it really is in the car, and she just couldn't find it when she got out.

Anyway... Mercury opposed her Saturn today. It was a worse example than usual, because transiting Saturn is currently squaring her LA Ascendant as the "umbrella" aspect - but every detail was pure Mercury-Saturn.

Perhaps it will be a great deal better when she gets to San Francisco (about now) and no longer has a Saturn transit to local angles. (Oops! I forgot! The same degree is her San Francisco Midheaven.)
