Transit stories: friendship can hurt

Tonight my partner and their best friend head-bumped each other in their modern dance class. They were running towards each other from both ends of the room, but they both have a problem with depth perception. They didn't properly see the distance in the dimly lit studio, which led to a literal opposition. 

On my way to the hospital, I couldn't help but notice the current drama reflected in the sky. On the large crossroads near the hospital, the gleaming red eye of Mars was glancing through the high story buildings on my left, as if he was hiding and observing his prey. High in the big chunk of clear sky you often find above big crossroads, was Jupiter. Majestic, but all vulnerable in the empty plain. 




The full Libra moon -- shining right through the middle of the two towers of the orthodox church right in front of me --was adding drama and momentum to it all. 

The beautiful golden Jupiter was exactly above the hospital, as if it was pointing out the coordinates of the emergency room where my partner waited for the doctor.





Even if I felt bad for my partner, astrologicaly these kinds of events are exciting. My partner is a Jupiter person (for their rising sign is Sagittarius). Accident-prone Mars was making an exact Trine to their native Jupiter placement in the nasty 12th house. A Trine is a 'friendly' aspect: the wound was made by a friend, not a foe -- but bleeding in any case. The natal Moon was besieged: Mars was trining her, and  transiting Saturn, lord of the third house (of friends) was opposing her. Can you see it? There was literally an opposition with a friend. The South Node was also activating their native Mars in the 12th house. It was destined that there would be blood (but not too much). 


Don't worry, they're both okay! 


The full moon was in Libra. Full moon is like a combustion: it is weakened, so more prone to accidents. It wouldn't surprise me if there were more art-related accidents on this day.
Nice detail: Venus was combust in Libra, the native's 11th house. Such a beautiful indication of having eyesight problems in a dance class with a friend. 




Some reflections:

I can imagine that in ancient times, when people had no computers to take a quick look at the current transits, we would just generally observe the theater in the sky like I did tonight while walking to the hospital. In a less individualistic society, it wouldn't matter that you couldn't ascribe every aspect it  such detail to an individual chart. I guess people were reading the sky and knew that something would happen to the community at some point. Even if just one member of the community was 'hit' by the transit, it would have felt like the whole was affected by the fortunes or misfortunes of one. Even in my own tiny community of my partner and friends, I am likewise affected when something happens to the people around me. And you see this reflected in my own chart: Natal Venus was besieged by aspect -- transiting Saturn opposing and transiting Mars trining her. So something had to happen to at least someone.
