Query about selling a business: "Should I sell my business?"

We were asked by a lady who was clearly struggling to make a decision, as she saw that financial data and state legislation were pressuring her, forcing her to pay a lot of taxes.

The querent is represented by Jupiter and the business by Mercury. Given that the 9th house relates to state laws and legislation, Jupiter is located there, peregrine, which highlights precisely the cause of the question.

The business is Mercury, but in the 10th house and exactly on the cusp lies the Sun in Virgo, which "hates" Jupiter (it is in a sign of Jupiter's detriment). In fact, the Sun governs the 9th house (laws), clearly showing how the state harms the querent. Furthermore, examining the future aspects —which is the key to the querent's development— Jupiter is about to meet the South Node in the 9th house, which is a highly negative indication for the future.

Regarding finances, the querent's "pocket" (2nd house) is ruled by Saturn, which is in fall, already suggesting financial tightness. At the same time, the business's revenues (11th house, the derived 2nd from the 10th) are in an equally poor state: Venus has just changed signs and entered a position of detriment, a fact that portends that the business's profits will take a downturn (early degrees of Scorpio).

Based on these future trends, we examined the prospect of a sale. The buyer is represented by the 7th house (which is also ruled by Mercury) and its ruler is inside the 10th house; therefore, it is certain that an interested buyer will be found. Next, we see that the 8th house (the buyer's money) hosts Mars, which is in the exaltation of Jupiter (the querent). The Moon, having already formed an aspect with Jupiter, translates its light to Mars (the buyer's derived 2nd house).

This translation of light confirms that selling the business is the best solution for two main reasons: first, the sale will take place in the best possible way and will certainly not be detrimental to the querent. Second, the significators exchange mutual receptions, which shows that they somehow cooperate harmoniously. Specifically, the Moon and Mercury are in the domicile of Venus, Venus is in the domicile of Mars, and Mars is in the exaltation of Jupiter —these are highly significant receptions that reinforce the positive outcome.
