Delays in Communication and Contracts
This happens to all of us but some people are born with it and they tend to set themselves up for it. We will examine the astrological aspects behind all communication delays.
There is usually a positive side to any adverse aspect in astrology and you can always find ways to use any aspect constructively. For example, a Saturn Mercury aspect makes one very cautious but usually increases focus and concentration. Leonardo da Vinci and Einstein were both born with Mercury in Aries aspected to Saturn.
In this article, we will show you how to offset adverse transits from Saturn to your natal Mercury (conj., square, opposition, etc.). We have listed your Client #s if you are going through this by transit or are born with it.
Benefits of an Adverse Saturn-Mercury Transit
When transiting Saturn makes a negative aspect to your natal Mercury (all Subscribers whose Client numbers are listed in this article), then you will experience the following:
• You will experience delays in communication and transportation (e.g. running out of gas). On the positive side, this will make you more efficient, punctual, and better organized in the long run.
• You will have better focus and improved concentration. You will be able to cut short any losses in business and make hard decisions. More practical in your ideas.
• This is an excellent time to organize yourself better, but do not become too rigid and tough in your outlook.
• This is a good time to take the trade and professional courses e.g. time management, real estate, and other business courses (take into account that they could be delayed or canceled!).
• Upgrade your trade skills. This transit is better for hard sciences or technical courses which require more concentration and discipline than general interest courses.

Adverse Saturn-Mercury Transit
• Do not become overly cautious and not take chances or stingy in advertising decisions pertaining to a business.

• There will be delays in contacting people by phone or mail, so check their mailing address. Make sure their email is still the same!
• Make duplicates of all your keys and important papers as they often get lost now. Back up your computer files as it is easy to delete them now.
• This is a good time for completing existing projects rather than initiating new ones.
• Focus on-time efficiency, buy better equipment, and cut down on waste like having fewer telephone lines.
• Be prepared for slow but sure business growth.
• Complete your research, budgeting, writing business plans, and making long-term plans.
• You will take on more authority and responsibilities now, but pace yourself.

In Einstein’s case, although Saturn affected his communication skills to some extent (he did not speak till he was almost six years old and had a deliberate way of thinking), it increased his concentration and tenacity.
A classic example of Einstein’s perseverance (almost a stubbornness) was his “unification” theory on which he spent nearly twenty years, and stuck to it till the end of his life. Steve Jobs of Apple is the best example of practical inventive ideas (Mercury in Aquarius aspected to Saturn).
Saturn goes around your chart in 29 to 30 years and makes many different angles to your natal Mercury. Its negative transits increase delays in getting through to people and problems with transportation as well. Even an adverse transit from Saturn increases your discipline, focus, concentration, and your ability to accept responsibility and authority. Most scientists, supervisors, and those in positions of authority are born with a Saturn-Mercury aspect.
For achievement, Saturn is very helpful when it makes an aspect to Mercury in a bright sign like Aries, Gemini, Leo, Libra, Sagittarius, Aquarius, and Pisces. It is inhibiting for Mercury in Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn, who can become very cautious and narrow-minded.
When Saturn makes an adverse aspect to your natal Mercury (conjunction, square, opposition, and other minor aspects), you will experience delays in your projects, negotiations, and contractual matters. Quite often, things may get misplaced or lost in the mail. If you are born with a natal adverse aspect between Saturn and Mercury, then it is like having Mercury retrograde all the time! If you are going through it by transit, then the same principle applies for the duration of the transit. If you have Mercury in Capricorn, then you might also experience most of the points given to some extent.
When you encounter delays in any area, the best way to deal with it would be to get to the root cause of it and to re-evaluate your organizing ability. In the long run, you will manage your time better and become more productive in your work. Use more efficient software or computer system, delegate some of the work, plan ahead and schedule different projects to offset the negative effects of this transit.

If you are born with a Saturn Mercury aspect, then all the points mentioned above will apply to you all your life. You will mostly learn through experience and will gain in a slow steady manner. You should buy gadgets to avoid communication delays. If Mercury is in a bright sign then even adverse Saturn aspects make them into geniuses e.g. Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci, and Steve Jobs.
