I just saw how many different flights you have to get on, and for a person who hasn't been on a plane very much, it seems very extreme, and I don't want to miss a flight.

Venus_Daily wrote: Fri May 13, 2022 7:12 pm Hey, Jim. I looked at Arizona and Wyoming. The only problem I have is that I want to fly into a city and stay there. I looked at Florida, but Saturn is very close to the ASC.

Venus_Daily wrote: Fri May 13, 2022 7:21 pm Jim, is there anything with Venus angular? I don't know how to use SF that well.

Venus squares MC on a longitude that touches the Florida coast around Fort Lauderdale, then crosses from the Atlantic onto land in South Carolina, passing due north through central North Carolina, W Va, and westernmost Pennsylvania.

Jim Eshelman wrote: Fri May 13, 2022 5:04 pm Your current solar return is mixed. It has the positive Moon-Jupiter opposition yet also has TWO Saturns angular (transiting Saturn 0°27' from IC, natal Saturn 0°16' from EP-a). When transiting Saturn temporarily blinks out the advantages of Moon-Jupiter, you're going to feel that Saturn most acutely.

I had something similar earlier this year: I have a really good SSR including Jupiter exactly on IC. When Saturn went across Jupiter and IC at the same time, I had some financial karma and other difficulties to deal with. Because the baseline SSR is really good, it wasn't as hard as it could have been, but I did feel the temporary effect.

I think you can weather this and that your state of mind about the job will change as circumstances change. Also, this job is stepping stone to what might come later down the road. So, let's take a look forward, starting with your next SSR.

Jim Eshelman wrote: Fri May 13, 2022 5:58 pm First the reality: Yes, for your home it's pretty bleak. Natal Saturn is 0°21' from square MC, the transiting Moon-Saturn square is 1°29'. It does have transiting Venus pretty strong, but it squares your Saturn so it's not exactly a "good time" planet.

The BEST thing about the chart is that both transiting Jupiter and Venus aspect your Saturn in the foreground. This can be "circumstances ease your deepest worries" kind of pattern.

But, as with 2022, I don't think you need to accept that this is how your Solar Return will be. Start thinking now about where you want to travel for your 2023 birthday. (C'mon, you have a Sagittarius Moon: Travel! Amplify the positives.)

You get the Moon-Saturn square either way. I've had worse Moon aspects: The key is to have strong enough benefics as close to 0°00' from an angle as possible, hopefully within about 0°05' or less.

In what follows, remember I haven't checked your natal planets yet. If there is something here that you like, we can look closer. The problem is that transiting Venus and Jupiter both aspect your Saturn. That might not be horrible - we've seen benefit (when an angular Saturn can't be avoided) in simply making sure Jupiter is essentially 0°00' from the angle, and that might be the solution here.

BTW, transiting Venus isn't THAT close to the angle for your home. Ecliptically, it looks exact to within minutes, but it's actually more than 3° off the angle. It's your Saturn 0°22' from square MC that is the standout at your home.

Venus is on IC due north-south on a line that passes through Pierre, SD (in case you want to look on a map) and moves from Texas to North Dakota. There's a Moon-Venus crossing in the upper tip of Texas (I'd half to work it out in detail, but it looks like maybe around Glazier). Oh, I just ran it: Glazier, TX is pretty good! Other than the Moon-Saturn square, it's a VERY positive SSR. (A little fine tuning could probably put both transiting Venus and Jupiter exactly on angles.)

In fact, let's leave it there. We can find other places, but that's a good start to show you that a positive chart is possible.

How about Witchita for the Moon/Venus. It would put Jupiter closer to the Eq. The mundane square between Venus/Moon would be exact but it would still be 3 degrees and 18 minutes from the angles. Any other ideas?

I'm thinking you have other limits on where this might be - e.g., I thought I was lucky to find the last place I suggested and you rejected it so you must have other considerations (perhaps size of place, airport access, where you know people, or other factors that might not occur to me).

Wherever you may or may not re-locate your next SSR, I am most interested if your Kingsville angular “outstanding incident” partile mundo Venus-Uranus 90 manifests as some type of ‘unexpected sudden’ (Uranus) incident involving a close relationship (Venus). Keep us informed. Thanks

I noticed that too, but I feel like It may not be enough.

SteveS wrote: Sat Mar 11, 2023 11:55 pm Then if Venus relocates she will defintely do away with that Kingsville main angular theme of partile Venus-Uranus in mundo, her choice. But still, no matter where she relocates she is still stuck with alot of prominent symbolism in her SSR, and she still has to come back to Kingsville for all of her SSR Moon hits/symbolism.

I hope she can find a good angular benefic re-locate stuff. I am always interested in what happens to people when they relocate their SSRs.

My wife is looking at becoming a travel agent - since she does so much travel counselling on an unpaid basis - and particularly commercializing the ability pick solar and lunar return trips for people. (We have a LOT of experience so far.) I've been happy with the term astro-tourism and plan to use it in future writings (like Vol II of CSA on return charts), but she has a slightly different name she wants to use commercially that has a bit more of a hook in it.

Did you have the chance to preview my Relocation chapter for CSA? (Natal only, of course.) For active forum members.

The Venus-Uranus is one of three partile aspects foreground in her Kingsville SSR, which I'm sure is why you think it the "main angular theme." I think the main angular theme in Kingsville is natal Saturn 0°22' from an angle with transiting Venus 0°13' from square natal Saturn - the closest partile aspect on the chart. She has been really unhappy and the Kingsville chart isn't one that would bring happiness.

If one goes by closest angular planet, it's Saturn. If one goes by closest partile foreground aspect, it's Venus to Saturn. If one looks at the larger picture, there are numerous loss and unhappiness aspects (the Venus-Uranus "change" being most likely an unhappy change). The best thing I can see from it is that natal Saturn is aspected by two transiting benefics, plus transiting Jupiter exactly transits natal Sun: This is the classic "things improve somewhat from separation" and could mean an inheritance (which goes along with the emotional loss stuff). - But the "good" news is hardly the strongest message. The strongest message is emotional loss and unhappiness.

I hope she can find a good angular benefic re-locate stuff. I am always interested in what happens to people when they relocate their SSRs.

I do, too, but I'm not sure how I can do that if she won't tell me where she's willing to go. It's a rough chart: I can't get rid of the bad stuff, I can only pick good stuff so overwhelmingly precise that it overwhelms the bad stuff on balance. I found a place with transiting Venus 0°07' from one angle and transiting Jupiter 0°36' from another - this could be fine-tuned to make them exact, which is the solution. (In the town is good enough or hop in her car and drive a short ways outside of town makes it even better.) There's even a close mundane Moon-Venus to further offset the emotional negativity of the Moon-Saturn and Venus-Saturn layers.

But she said no, and that's fine, and I'm willing to start all over, but when I ask "Where?" she says "anywhere," but it's obviously not "anywhere" since she said no to the place I found. I don't know where else also doesn't count as "anywhere." That means spending DAYS trying to find one spot after another to have her say no. (I even found a place in her own state, to make the drive easier - even though it's a big state!)

Without precise "here are my requirements," I'm about ready to give up - unless I can figure out somehow to read her mind and interpret what "anywhere" means.

Bryce Canyon (or somewhere nearby - again, we can micromanage it) gives an almost flawless intersection of Jupiter-Pluto - a big extreme, but overall very positive. But it also is exactly on her natal Saturn setting line. That natal Saturn line covers a lot of the west where the transiting Jupiter line goes (since Jupiter opposes her Saturn 3°) so we have to be careful to get an EXACT spot where the Jupiter overwhelms the Saturn, e.g., there's a little corner of southeast Arizona where there is almost nothing but cactus and transiting Jupiter rising not far from a Venus line - probably too remote for her but there are a few towns in the zone. Wilcox isn't quite right because the Jupiter and Saturn are about equal. I'm not going to take the hour or more to calculate EXACTLY where in that spot is best because I doubt she'd go (and it's not as good as what I've already found). (It's not a great area, the Saturn and Jupiter lines are too close together. Bowie looks like MAYBE the best, with a 6' Jupiter, but it also pulls natal Saturn and Pluto close.)

I can also say pick any spot 5-10 miles either side of longitude 100W20 - anyplace at all - and we can check it against the natal to see if there is an objection. That longitude puts transiting Venus on IC to the minute and transiting Jupiter on EP-a partile (about 40'). It could be the best answer of all. (And natal Saturn, though foreground, isn't nearly as close: Transiting Venus at 17°13' Cancer is on IC when the angle is 15°19' Cancer, so natal Saturn at 17°26' Libra is over 2° from the angle; She still has Venus to her Saturn, but she'll have that anywhere any benefic is anywhere near the angles, so at least we have marginalized the natal Saturn.

Maybe that's the best answer: Pick any spot within five to ten miles either side of longitude 100W20 and let me know so I can check for other things the maps don't show me in advance. (Glazier, TX btw is 100W16, only 4' of longitude off.)
