Yesterday was so busy I didn't get to read my daily transits until 
today.  Some contractors showed up next door and started cutting 
the trees down.  They said they would cut six tall (60 foot) pines 
on the other side of the fence that shade our back yard.  My aunt 
went out and got a loud argument with the foreman.  The foreman 
was hostile, wouldn't tell her the name of the new property owner, 
called her a lot of names.  My cousin told me to go out and yell 
at the foreman too, but I try to avoid confrontations.  Besides, 
my aunt heard about the neighbor's plans a week or so ago, she 
should have done something before the contractors showed up.

It was Columbus Day, so the government offices were closed and she 
couldn't get the property owner's name from the county.  My aunt 
is a realtor, and knows the realtor who sold the property, and so 
was able to get the owner's name (the phone number was unlisted).  

I couldn't think of anything to do until noon, when I thought, 
"The trees are just on the other side of the fence.  When boundary 
surveys are done, you usually find that fences are a few feet away 
from property lines.  Maybe those trees are on our property."  So 
I went over and found a survey stake at one end of the fence a 
foot or so on the other side of the fence.  I found an old fence 
post at the other end of the fence, 3 or 4 feet on the other side 
of the fence.  If that was the property line, the trees were 
clearly ours.

The foreman and his men followed me around and said I was 
trespassing.  I was super nice to them, trying to get on their 
good side by saying that my aunt was hard to deal with, etc.  They 
didn't buy it and did their best to be hostile to me.

I suggested that the foreman wait until we hired a surveyor before 
he cut the trees on the fence.  He said the property had already 
been surveyed and insisted that the trees were coming down at 7 am 
the next day (today).

He showed me the survey, and under the surveyor's phone number was 
written "This is not a boundary survey."  So I called the 
surveyor, and he said yes, those trees could be ours, a boundary 
survey would cost $250, and he could come out a 7 am if necessary.

That's pretty much where I had to leave it.  My aunt called the 
realtor and explained that a boundary survey should be done.  The 
realtor said she'd call the property owner (she refused to let my 
aunt call the property owner), and that the property owner would 
call her last night, but he never called.

My aunt said that if the trees were cut she'd hire the surveyor 
and then sue the neighbor.  I tried to convince her that hiring 
the surveyor before the trees were cut would be smarter, but she 
insisted that it was the neighbor's responsibility and she wasn't 
paying $250.

It's about 11 am, and the contractors are cutting some other trees 
in the yard.  I don't know what the fate of the trees will be.  
But I just looked at my daily transits.  Yesterday I had:

10/12/1992 12:06pm - trans Mercury (Sco) Sex natal [Vir] Pluto
Mercury Sextile Pluto: Love of mysteries, let others know 
solution.

10/12/1992  8:01pm - trans    Mars (Can) Squ natal (Ari) Sun
Mars Square Sun: Energetic, assert yourself well, and accomplish a 
great deal of work.  But you will be continually tested to 
demonstrate the validity of your purpose.  Make an effort to back 
down on issues and compromise.  Successful stands on issues will 
bear fruit in six months, but if you create opposition you will 
experience failure in six months.  Castro triumphed over Batista; 
Allende was murdered.

Today I have:

10/13/1992  5:43pm - trans Mercury (Sco) Squ natal (Aqu) Saturn
Mercury Square Saturn: Good for heavy mental work, disciplined 
thinking; depression and gloom; poor communications, give negative 
impressions.

10/13-18 Saturn stationary, esp. 10/15-16

The Mars transit fits the day's events, and the insight about the 
property line coincided almost exactly with the Mercury transit.  
Plus Saturn being stationary this week suggests crises.  So you 
can see why I'm starting to believe in daily transits.

BTW, if anyone wants a fairly complete set of daily transit 
interpretations, I can e-mail them.  These are summaries of wrote 
of Robert Hand's "Planets in Transit."
