Ok gang, I just went through (or will soon meet) the following transits:
Oct 27: Jupiter trines my natal Saturn.
Nov 20: Saturn sextiles my natal Jupiter.

Now, can you astrologers figure out what's been going on in my life lately? :)
Come on, you can figure it out. Here are a few more I just had:

Oct 17: Jupiter transits my natal Pluto.
Oct 19: Jupiter trines my natal Part of Fortune.
In addition, I've been having Uranus square natal Uranus (over, over
again retrograde, and then over once more) for all this year.

Ok, basic meanings of the transits follow. (I hope to get an Astrolog 2.40
to do this for us, of course):
Jupiter trine Saturn: Expansion and fortune in areas of discipline and work.
Saturn sextile Jupiter: Opportinity for grounding and manifestation of ideals.
Jupiter conjnct Pluto: Great time of transformation and ending of old ways.
Jupiter trine Fortune: Good luck, good fortune, in areas of personal talent.
Uranus square Uranus: Disruption or change in areas of personal freedom.

Answer: I got a new job. Interview last month, started beginning of
this month. May be long hours but I love what I am doing, earn decent
money and am learning lots. However, since I am out of college and
just about to turn 21, this is my first real full time job. Also, this
is symbolically a break from parental support and the beginnings of self
sufficency. Anyway, I found the transits very appropriate and logical
here. Of course, looking at these upcoming transits back in early
October, I knew I was going to get the position, and should enjoy it! :)

Anyway, one outcome of this is that I now have access to a nice PC
with graphics in my office, and even a Mac. So expect the next version
of Astrolog, 2.40 (or maybe even 3.00), to not only run and compile on
PCs without any problems or glitches whatever, but to have real
graphics like the X stuff, too! Of course, I first have to learn PC
graphics, and time it around my job, so it might be a while still.

Ok, now that I've told the good news, now I should tell some bad news.
I just found out that a fair amount of mail directed to my astrolog
account at this address never reached me. This is because if one sent
mail to the address astrolog@u.washington.edu, instead of the proper
full astrolog@byron.u.washington.edu, it would go to an account that I
never look at, due to an improperly defined forwarding address. So
this means that I found 56 messages addressed to me dating all the way
back to early September! Call it another astrolog bug ;) but it's
fixed now, I found the old mail, and now sending to either of the
above addresses should reach me at this account. So, if you sent mail
to me without the "byron" in the header line before now, and you are
wondering why I never replied, this is probably the answer. Sorry!
Especially missed are about four well written messages by Andy Gray;
sorry Andy, it seems like we've often had e-mail troubles, but know
I've finally seen your good ideas, etc, now.

Anyway, the week begins, transiting Mars trines my natal Sun tomorrow,
so it's off for a few days of programming projects :)
