Hello Minderwiz are you still taking questions?
If yes I would like to ask if we are going to be able to move next month or is it going to drag until aug and are we going to be able to get the house we want. We need to move, my husband is already in another state and it has been really hard on me and the kids. I am hoping the move will be smooth but so far we hit some bumps.
I can pm you my chart if you want .. Thank you
I had a problem sleeping the other night, and instead of counting sheep decided to take a note of the time and cast a chart based on it for your question. Once again though it's come out as a Mercury/Jupiter chart. It's cast in the hour of Mercury, so I take the chart as radical.
Mercury is in the first (you are at home). Mercury has just changed signs and is now in Cancer, losing it's previous essential dignity. Indeed Mercury is peregrine, perhaps an indication of your leaving home but not sure where or when you are moving to (the new home).
Your current house is shown by the fourth House ruler, the Sun. That too is in the first House and it's the Sun that afflicts Mercury - the House is a problem, in terms of the sale which has not yet gone through and that it might involve financial loss. The Sun has a mutual reception with Jupiter, through exaltation.
Jupiter is the seller of the new house. The mutual reception therefore shows the link between the sale of the old and the purchase of the new. My initial thoughts here are that the mutual reception is testimony towards the sale of the old and the purchase of the new, working out within the time period.
Jupiter has major essential dignity, not only through the mutual reception with the Sun but also being in it's own triplicity and terms. That indicates that the seller is in a very powerful position. Mercury in Cancer is in the exaltation of Jupiter, you want the seller but the seller doesn't necessarily want you - i.e. if you don't complete the purchase there are always alternative purchasers. So you are weak but the seller is strong.
The Part of Fortune is very near the Descendant, your luck, money and general wellbeing is in the hands of the seller and the Moon is also in the seventh. The Moon can play two roles here, it is the ruler of your second house of money and material possessions, so it too emphasies the dependence on the seller. The Moon is in it's own detriment - your finances are not good, in relation to this purchase, they are likely to go down, not up.
The Moon also acts as your co-significator and can show the flow of events.
So far we have established what you already know - but it helps that the chart shows this and fits the situation. So will the purchase go through in time (and hopefully the sale of current property?
Two factors suggest that it will not. Firstly the Moon is applying to an opposition with Mercury and a square with Jupiter. Squares and oppositions don't produce the desired result. To compound the situation Mercury too is applying to a square with Jupiter - buyer and seller will not agree in time.
If you look at the chart you will see that Jupiter is separating from an opposition to Saturn, in this chart Saturn is Lord 8, which is usually seen as being unfortunate but in this case Lord 8 is also the ruler of the Seller's money. The opposition suggested that the seller had some money problems but these are now improving (the opposition is separating) so the seller doesn't need you quite as much as he may have done. The Moon too is separating from a square to Saturn, but is moving towards the opposition to Mercury and the square to Jupiter - the focus is shifting to your money.
Now Lilly says that a square may still produce a positive result but that there will be difficulties and even if the desired outcome occurs, you may find that it's not as good as you expected - you might regret the decision. With the squares and opposition it's highly unlikely.
You say you want to move and have accepted the financial loss involved but I'm not sure that when it comes to it, you will really do that, looking at the actual cost involved. If you do, I don't think you will be in anyway happy with the outcome.
