Hey everyone 
Posting a horary question that’s been on my mind—curious to hear your takes on it.
There’s talk of a very last-minute overseas business trip with a colleague, and I’m wondering if I’ll end up going. I cast a chart and here’s what I’m seeing so far:
Saturn in the 7th… yeah, I know. I probably won’t like the outcome. Saturn is conjunct Neptune, so the whole situation is kind of foggy anyway—unclear decision-making, maybe some illusion or lack of transparency.
I’m Mercury in Leo, peregrine in the 11th—house of hopes, networks, etc. Mercury’s about to go retrograde.
The Moon is in Pisces in the 6th—so yes, I’m stressed and worried. Definitely feeling the work/daily life disruption, especially since I have family responsibilities.
9th house (the trip) ruled by Venus in Gemini, also peregrine. So the trip itself is kind of unrooted and unclear. And it is really so.
Venus exalts Mercury though, so the trip seems to favor me—maybe I’m seen as a good candidate. But Mercury doesn’t receive Venus in return, which might mean I’m not super enthusiastic about it, or not even really considered as an option yet. North Node just left the Descendant, so maybe external support or momentum is fading. Part of Fortune is in the 8th house in Taurus—maybe a surprise or something under the radar?
There is a nice trine between Mercury and Venus, which I want to be hopeful about. But the Moon squares Venus, so emotionally I’m still blocked or worried.
Uranus just entered Gemini at 0°—Mercury’s sign—so I keep wondering if that means some surprise decision is coming. But it’s so fresh that I’m not sure it’ll have time to act.
I don’t give it great odds. Mercury is weak, about to retrograde, and doesn’t receive the trip. Plus, my manager (also Mercury) hasn’t really shown any signs of thinking about me for this. Could be a “decision made without me” kind of situation. The square from the Moon and lack of strong receptions feels like a no—or at least a situation where I’m not the top pick. Only person will be happy about it is my colleague Jupiter which we have reciprocated domicile with my moon.
BUT—there’s a sliver of hope with that Mercury–Venus – Moon aspects and the Uranus shift. Maybe there’s a last-minute rethink?
Would love to hear how others read this—do you think Mercury RX will trigger a change of mind? Or is this more likely a dead end?
Thanks in advance
