Nobody likes to be criticized. We’re all familiar with those food network shows where the chefs are lined up and given a dressing down in no uncertain terms. Maybe they were sloppy, uninventive, or had a higher opinion of their food than was the case. So why do we watch these shows? Commiseration. And to hopefully learn something. A Mercury/Saturn square is perhaps the most judgmental and relentlessly scathing of Astrology’s planetary combinations, but if you can take the heat of a superior’s reprimand then that means you get to stay in the kitchen. Moreover you’re the one who will benefit most if you can do something constructive with what is said. The messenger may suck but that doesn’t mean the message does. Signs most affected: Aries, Gemini, Virgo, and Capricorn
