good that he's faring well

after such a delicate operation i say, let him paint on the walls!

I am glad he's doing so well, but it's understandable to postpone. I think Handn had the right idea that the chart showed you backing out more so than anything (keeping Jupiter where he is)? Although, I still think postponing seems better because the chart has some stuff going on, and it may be premature to say how they would manifest (or maybe only you'd know by going as scheduled on the trip). The Moon applying to both malefics without a benefic interfering especially seems troublesome (Saturn is at the sign change but it's within orb and at 0 degrees)... If I asked about my own child and he was retro towards Saturn, Moon as the trip applying to square malefics and under the terms/face of malefics, dragon's tail in the 9th, I'd probably postpone too. Saturn hr ruler is weird too. That's just not the planet you'd expect for good health indications or a fun trip to Europe.

Thank you, Tanit and Handn! Tanit, I agree. Interestingly, it looks like I won't be able to go at all (I got a job), so I'm not sure the whole trip is going to happen. My hubby thinks he'll be able to go with both boys, but I'm not so sure. In any case, postponing the trip seems necessary. I wonder, if my hubby going on the trip alone will face the challenges (Mars) and difficulties (Saturn) represented by the Moon next aspects. BWT, interestingly we had to wait for a long time for the surgery (almost 2 hours beyond our scheduled time -- Saturn?) and my son was not allowed to eat, but he did not complain and was very patient and brave.

Congrats on getting a job! Maybe the Saturn influences are just the usual outer circumstances that get in the way of the matter. Saturn has essential and accidental dignity (also sect), so it's not really a monster or anything, other than the hard aspects.

Hi again Elumen - Very pleased your son's okay! Great news! ... glad you're okay with a job too! All's well that ends well, eh.
Cheers,
Maggie.

So the chart does not seem to be radical, first of all an early degree is rising, and the hourly ruler Saturn does not have similarity to Asc ruler Mars by nature or placement, I wonder if this is a sign that the situation may develop unpredictably.

Hour disagreement is something that always makes me uncomfortable because I am not sure if I trust what I am getting from the chart. It's as if you're asking the wrong question. Here it was more about the fact that you wouldn't be going on your trip than it was about your son's health.

I'm dealing with a chart right now (my sister likes to send her friends to me for their problems) that has hour disagreement. Although, I don't think the woman's question is well-formed.

Email correspondence is terrible for horary and I have a hard time making people who are unfamiliar to horary understand why I am asking them so many questions and am not satisfied with what they are asking. I think I agree with Deb that in-person is best...

Final update: The trip to Europe had been postponed, but in about 3 weeks my husband left with my son, later on I joined them too. Everything went well, my son was feeling fine. The only thing that happened a couple of times in the course of last 3 months since the surgery, is that his surgical scar was getting slightly red and had a bit of puss. Doctors said that it happens when the stitches fully dissolve in the skin.

That's good news Elumen, you must be pleased that it all went well and your son felt fine. Thanks for the update.
