This article is just an excuse to promote my first YouTube video, which you can find below.

I haven't always paid attention to electional charts before I embark on something. A driving test, especially in London, can be quite expensive. When I noticed that all odds were against me from an astrological standpoint, I tried to stay positive and I did not want to delay or cancel my first scheduled driving test. Even though Mercury was in retrograde (in Pisces of all signs), Venus was retrograde (ruler of my third house, the third being very much a car and driving house), and all of these nest to the tough and critical Saturn in Pisces, I tried to stay positive and go ahead with the test. Needless to say, it was a fail. The moment I failed the test is also very interesting, it was exactly at the point the ascendant for the current time and place had moved into Virgo, a Mercury ruled sign.

All of these details and more can be found in the video.
