Hi Liquid, I have not been behind my computer much, hence the late "jump in" here.
The question is really about a short trip to the Court house, so I feel that we have to look at Jupiter (you) and Venus (short travel) and the Moon as your co-significator. Nothing else really. You and Venus both are accidentally dignified in the 10th house and Venus is going to conjunct Jupiter, Moon is going to trine Sun and Moon is in the sign of justice in her own face. Moon is in term of Saturn, but her ruler is Venus in her own term in Capricorn. Jupiter is in term of Mercury who is the natural ruler of the 3rd house and short trips.
It all looks good to me.
End of the matter house is also ruled by Mercury,and Mercury is moving towards a trine with the North Node.
Moon will square Venus, then Jupiter, but somehow I feel that has more to do with your emotional situation at the moment. Venus and Jupiter are both benifics so I think that you could be making mountains out of molehills here.
It can indeed, as Kingsley mentions, mean very recent (Moon 0° Libra) changes from the side of the prosecutors. (Merc. is in term of Jupiter!!, favoring Liquid Green).
Moons last aspects will be a trine to Mercury (at 23°) and even when Mercury goes retrograde it will still mutually apply with Moon, a square to Mars, then a sextile to the MC (at 24°) and finally a trine to the North Node.
Kingsly, Mars on that morning will be going direct. You wrote:
Mars is at 4th cusp going retro
so I think that the laywer maybe was not really well recently, or was thinking to maybe retreat, but he is not, he goes forward on the 30th. BUT yes,
I find it strange however that he will be at 24°5.1
Direct on the 30th, then hops just less then a minute back into 24°4.7 on the 31st and on the 1st of February will skip to 24°5.1 again.
Usually you see the same degree mentioned twice,really showing a treading on one place sort of thing but not a backward degree. Can you explain this?
All in all I think that Liquid Green will go to the courthouse on the 30th.
Also Mars will apply to a trine to Neptune, modern ruler of Liquid, probably showing that he knows how to defend her (he is in his own term and in the face of the Sun, rather strong I would say).
Cheers, Starlink
