Friendship is surrounded by walls and barriers. This ends in March 2023, but until then, you will have to wait.
Whatever the situation or issue, the usual Saturn rules apply. Do what you must to make sure that friends or group insiders understand where you’re coming from, and what you need from them, in order for both of you to go forward next year. And, when in doubt, ask the other side for his/her opinion if you can.
This cycle will make or break the relationship you have with your friends and groups, for the future, and every self-help book in the world is only so much use. This cycle began at Christmas 2020 and ends March 2023. You are about to enter a crucial phase in an existing friendship or group – which means you can either make progress together, or perhaps not at all.

It’s quite true that money, property and business can bring out the wavering and wobbling in people. They can trigger retractions or reversals. They can make us wait, as Mars Retrograde in Sagittarius in your solar Eighth House cycles backwards. Yet, in this cycle, you must learn to make money, property and business your excuse to become the greatest philosopher of all time. For a few months now, you’ll have plenty of paperwork, meetings, correspondence, contracts or e-mails to deal with. But at every stage, the deal is “Do this backwards, or not at all. Co-operate with each other, over the delays.” You’re about to discover your people skills via financial issues in real flux.

Well, the course this relationship or association takes now will be crucial to the future of your duet or duel. You must be sensitive to the other person’s position and personality. Where are they at? Equally, be aware of what you are contributing. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your assumptions about the other person are automatically correct. This pile-up in Sagittarius, your opposite sign, is really about the long zig-zag to Christmas. This has to be about both of you if it’s going to work. And work it must, because you only have one chance a year to pursue your goals in this particular way. Keep eyeing that prize with the other side, or your other half.
Work hard at this. Watch and listen. Communicate, too – but do it gently, carefully, thoughtfully. Like The Two Ronnies, you may be sitting on different chairs in the game of life, but you have to find a way to get to the end of the show. Is the relationship between you two, sexual as well as emotional? You’ll need to balance the bedroom stuff as sensitively as you balance everything else.

Jupiter in Pisces until Christmas promises you wonderful things – for a few weeks you will be given a rare chance to expand your horizons overseas. The world could seem bigger, more interesting, and more full of possibility now. But…the price of admission is the art of globalisation or foreign management, and that means taking the basic potential and working it.
Your challenge now is to keep your eyes on the prize, no matter which aspect of academia, education, publishing, web, travel or multicultural connections/long-distance connections it relates to. For the next few weeks, you’ll be paired off with someone who is crucial to your potential rewards in this area. A new luck factor may enter your world, or you may enter a different, better, phase of an existing relationship.

Saturn in Aquarius is about your other half, or the other side. This is probably personal (marriage) but may be professional (work). Of course, you may know this man or woman so intimately that you’re aware of their Moon Sign, Ascendant and the rest. But, Leo, even if you’ve been together forever, or just a few weeks – this cycle can still make or break your understanding and trust, so never take this transit for granted. It ends in March 2023 when the barricades and barriers disappear.
You’ll have common goals now, or complimentary goals. So, keep your eyes on the prize, and just keep walking, as Mr. Hutchence suggested. This transit is about balancing the scales. Saturn wants you to take the time to learn about what you must do, to make sure you respect the barriers and walls, the gates, moats and fences.
Think of every double act you’ve ever admired and note the reasons for the longevity. Leo, if this is a duel or battle, then March 2023 is when the heavy atmosphere disappears, and the insurmountable obstacles vanish too. A stoic approach is useful.

Neptune direct in Pisces (and Jupiter) will remind you that you need each other, on the most basic level, to make progress in Bubble World now. There’ll be a strong bond of liking/loving there already, of course. But, as you’ll see over the next few weeks, that’s not enough. This is an historic transit in your Seventh House of marriages, sexual relationships or professional partnerships. Sometimes platonic duets for other reasons. The escape is now so real.
It’s amazing how Neptune and Jupiter teach us about co-operation in this cycle. Just in case you think you’ve got the marriage sussed, you’ll hit days when it’s blatantly obvious that you’re not using the chance for a huge relaunch, here. Jupiter and Neptune in Pisces, together until Christmas, suggests a big balloon ride. You come down later, in March, when you realise the marriage or partnership now has rules. Virgo, one last point. If you have a lawsuit, battle or war going on – that is also a balloon ride through bubble world. It is an escape, for whatever reason. Escape the escape, perhaps?

Libra, the next few months into July 2023 will make or break your financial, business or property progress – even the next few years until 2026. There are lucrative possibilities, in relation to cash, security, lifestyle and all the things that make us feel rich or poor. A mortgage, or investment plan. That cycle begins in May 2023 and runs until May 2024.
Houses and flats also matter in this cycle, for obvious reasons, and so do other valuable assets. March 2023 looks like a real crossroads for that, or your other property investments, or alternative residence. So, there’s a lot to think about this week. All the sums.
You’re either seeing a big opportunity out there, from May 2023, or a solution to what currently stretches you. So filthy lucre … or not. An inherited Corgi or the need for further investment? This cycle is also about your value system. What you will and won’t sell out for. If it’s true that everyone has their price (or their idea of what is priceless) you’ll be moved to act on it in this crucial, historic, period that takes you from now through May 2024.

As Saturn and then Pluto are in the Fourth House now through March 2023, the next few weeks or months are pivotal. Your family relationships, flatmate relationships, house, flat or temporary accommodation will be shaped by what happens next – with long-term results! Take your time as you navigate. I’d say this even if it wasn’t Christmas. And of course, the global property market is so odd.
Whatever else is going on astrologically, Your mother, father, brother, sister and other close relatives (dead or alive) will be an issue now. So will your relationship with a partner, if you live with him or her, and any flatmates in your life. People who have a direct influence on your home life, like neighbours, builders or co-tenants will also go to the top of your list now. Saturn is about barriers and barricades. Big obstacles to cross. Either very hard to escape or break free (for you or others) or actually intimidating if not impossible to get over and cross. It really depends on which side of the fence you’re on, and that may be literal if your issue is borders or fences. Best way through? Wait, watch, listen and learn. March changes everything.

Children invite opportunism, positive thinking, optimism, expansion and hope for Christmas. Children in this context means your own sons and daughters, or other people’s. It also covers pregnancy, fertility, abortion, miscarriage, adoption, and so on. Solutions replace problems to solve, and big doors open if you are already on track. Right now, you’ll be seeing answers with or for (or just about ) an issue directly connected to the above list.
Now, exactly what has to happen depends on Jupiter and Chiron, together from around Christmas to May 2023. It may be a brilliant work experience student you value. It may be your indifferent godchild suddenly coming to her senses and thanking you for her Christmas and birthday present (from last year). A difficult young adult son may come good. Sagittarius, answers wait. This transit also rules courtship. Not just heirs and spares. So, the ritual of dating, admiration or the sexual nature of a partnership, is also worth focus.
Do get outside opinions from people you trust and respect, who have no vested interest in the situation, later on. The world of children and babies is far too important to ignore a new 2023 decision which is basically right, and you know it. Are you getting the picture?

Mars Retrograde in Gemini. Your everyday working life has its own chain of command. It’s now backwards. Even if you’re working for yourself (or head of the home) you still have to think about your duty to other people, but again, it’s all back to front. All work is a service, even if you’re apparently calling the shots. If you’re a President or a Prime Minister, you still have a duty to the people who voted for you, so in a way, you’re still in service to them, just as a PA is to her boss. And yet, you can be President Biden on this transit and still find your schedule is stuck.
It may be COVID, of course, which is a common issue. This stuck and backwards cycle will strongly influence the chain of command where you perhaps with supermarket delivery men and gardeners to consider, or just your own job. It may be men who claim to be able to set up your new MacBook Air, who can’t even manage the phone. It happens.
Of course, this cycle is also about other sorts of work. Your course. Your non-profit role. Work or routine issues will now be in flux until March 2023. There may be a dovetail with Pluto in Capricorn, and the Capricorn weather from Christmas to February, as we will see a ton of sackings and resignations, takeovers and corporate wars to come out of these cycles. A smart thing to do now is have a loosey-goosey diary.

Mars Retrograde in Gemini is activated. Happy with your partner, possible online flirtation or the prospects with a future date? That person will be at the top of your list now. You’ll be all hot and sweaty about certain ideas, or notions, or visions involving them. Or they’ll be unusually charged up about what they long for – or maybe, a threat that they think they’re seeing. This is classic Mars. And yet, this is all backwards. Stuck. In flux. At least until March 2023.
The engagement may be a great idea, but remove the retrograde scheduling, before you book the Elvis Presley Chapel of Love. If you can’t, allow for Elvis to be a week late, or the laptop to blow up. I know of no other cycle in which so many husbands, wives, boyfriends and girlfriends are on hold or rewind. This transit is not just about courtship, or the bedroom, though. It is also about pregnancy, infants, schoolchildren, teenagers and young adults. The generation gap. Here, too, there is backwards action. Allow until March for the pieces to fall into place.

This South Node in Scorpio cycle will strongly influence karma from 19 years ago, or so, in relation to foreigners, a trip, and a connection to someone from another country or culture. It will also trigger old karmic issues connected to the world of publishing, and education and academia. Depending on your own life and situation at the moment, you’ll find one or two areas on this list become a more urgent priority than the others – but they all matter. The transit ends next July.
Aspects to the South Node will stir things up for a few weeks (even a few months, as this is a long-running cycle) and you’re going to need to manage everything properly. Start with the idea that you are owed, or you owe.
People emigrate, move to radically different areas, and travel widely in this cycle. They can pursue huge important new ventures with people on different time zones, on Zoom, and with different accents.
