If you come across any gloomy forecasts, I'd disregard them. 

No one is happy when progress is retarded. But most understand that progress is generally made in fits and starts.  This is why I'm also so excited when I see a clear shot. A time when I can cover a lot of ground quickly, or transcend a problem.

The astrology suggests that patience (Saturn) at this time will open doors in the future (Jupiter) and allow you to transcend (Neptune) impediments (Saturn). What's gloomy about that?

Now if you're looking for a reason to escape or despair (Neptune), you'll easily find one. We have these politicians, right?  Utter one of their names to a particular person - if you (mis)match this correctly - and the person may come unglued... or not.

This is a good time to really learn (Saturn) what it means (Jupiter) to transcend (Neptune).
