Seeing saturn is always a hassle

How true!

Venus, Mars & Saturn conjunct
While the alignment between Venus and the infortunes is likely to send the hair flying on some of us, it is important to consider the meaning of its occurance in Libra. Since Venus and Saturn are dignified in Libra by domicile and exaltation they are to be considered as monarchs seated upon their thrones. According to the Hindu's, atlhough Mars is detrimented, his debilation is lifted and stature raised, because he is entertained and enjoys the hospitality of his honourable hosts. Mars is like a distinguished guest. In the Hindu astrology the combination of an exaltated and debilated planet is considered to be very strong indeed and is called a 'Neecha-Bhanga Raja Yoga' (Raja Yoga= King-combination). Venus location in her own sign Libra, together with exalted Saturn and Mars, just adds to the quality and importance of the conjunction.

I did have clients with Mars in Libra who were either successful artists or musicians, or who were willing to fight for beauty, harmony, justice and peace.

Well, we did have an peace agreement between Chaves from Venezuela and santos from Colombia, so I would think that Brady?s prediction went through.

A week ago I was lying in my sleeping bag halfway down the Mont Ventoux in Southern France. Dispite the freezing cold wind I had the honour to see all three the planets without optical aid. Mars and Saturn wouldn't have been visible from the Netherlands, not only because of the urban light polluted skies but also because the skies in NW Europe are more or less hazy and the planets are closer to the horizon and the twilight is too overruling to see the weaker two of the planets.

Lucky you, and thank you for the report!

This image for 21.30 CEST shows the visability problem at Oslo, 60 North. Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Mars are all in signs of short descension. In this image, Mercury, who has a latitude of 3S35 has already set, inspite of being 24 degrees separate the Sun.
The University of Oslo says that Sunset occurs at 21.05 CEST. This creates another interesting problem, because the rational ascendant is 1PI38 and the Sun is 7 degrees separate from the descendant.

Now, this matter is quite complex as you may see here:

And do not forget that these rules refer to the sidereal positions. Sidereal Venus is presentlty in Virgo - debilitated. Mars is there as well, more or less in a neutral position.
