"Is it Advisable To Fly by Airline X to America?"
15th December 1994. 17.05.34GMT. 51N34, 00W08.
Background
The querent was planning their first journey to the USA and had asked this question concerning a certain airline because of some rumours they had heard. Discretion prevents me from naming the airline in question, but what they had been told was more than a little unsettling. A friend of a friend who had travelled extensively around the world had said that this particular airline was one of the worst. It was said that they were always late in taking off, their service was below standard and that luggage would often go missing. It was inferred that this was common knowledge and that the airline should be avoided like the plague. This friend of a friend had suffered so much inconvenience from travelling with this company that they had sworn never to fly with them again. Obviously they were also trying to stop others from flying with company X, perhaps out of revenge.
The main problem was that the querent had no other choice but to fly with this company, their ticket had already been booked and paid for by a third party who were doing them a favour. Needless to say it would have been extremely awkward to make changes at this stage.
Significators
Cancer was on the ascendant signifying that the Moon ruled the querent. Saturn ruling Aquarius on the cusp of the 9th was for the airline as the 9th house rules long foreign journeys.
Judgement
The Moon at 27.35 Taurus, where it is exalted, applied by square to Saturn in the 9th house on the cusp of the 10th. An aspect between the main significators, even though a square, indicated a successful result and there would be nothing to worry about. An aspect between significators is preferable to no aspect at all. In my experience when the main significators apply and at the same time are involved in a translation of light, it is strongly protected from interference from other planets. This interference can take the form of frustration, prohibition or refranation. Here the Moon separates by trines from Uranus and Neptune and translates them to Saturn.
Although Saturn applies by trine to the ascendant degree it will be prohibited by Venus which also applies by trine to the ascendant degree. Venus being the faster moving planet will perfect the aspect before Saturn perfects its aspect.
Result
The querent flew to America a few months later without any sign of trouble and considered the journey to have been a successful one. They would travel by airline X again if the opportunity arose.
