Questions of travel, or someone else's travel, come up. People involved in government service are thinking internationally and communicating with those afar. The Pope's journey is taking form, at least in the Vatican and in many places preparing to receive him. 

It is fascinating that today Saturn enters Sagittarius, the sign of religion, while square both Jupiter and Neptune, planets of religion and mysticism, just as the Pope's journey is getting under way. It will have symbolic significance for all, not just Catholics. You have seen me musing here about my religion and my attitudes toward the Supreme, and I am not the only one doing it in a deep way. What it may mean in the Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist worlds I do not know but I'm sure it is active there also in a deep quest for more solid spiritual foundations.

A neighbor conveys deep meanings to you.There is more than meets the eye in his or her response to you.

Someone off at a distance gives you much, while at that distance and also when close.

Mental work is creative and intense, as if you wanted to be utterly thorough. Half-measures will not do. Disagreements about how to proceed may require discussion of a flexible yet principled sort. 

Your headquarters is your headquarters, for better or worse, and you can make use of it toward the better. Constructing things whether mental or physical requires Masonic skills in the esoteric sense. If you are not using a different headquarters than usual, then a different headquarters is with you invisibly in your usual one. 

Venus's bi-septile with Saturn for quite a few days has been a concern about the loved one's well-being. Now is added to that a finer appreciation of her or his beauties, talents, and attractions while Venus is nonagen the sun, tri-nonagen Neptune and quintile Pluto as well as trine Uranus. This could be a subjective love-fest even if there is external separation. In the Dark Hermetic Epoch (and now the intensest part of it, the Mercury Retrograde phase until October 9)) the subjective can seem more real than the objective. 

A lot is intriguing and interesting, even if the emotional tone is somewhat glum or melancholy (|difficult third|). So we feel alive in our feelings even if external factors bring delay or backtracking. 

We can be overcoming our individual hesitancies, irritations and worries in a subtle but meaningful way, looking beyond them to what they are trying to bring out as firmer character, unsuspected gain and fuller interpersonal communion.
