The natal is what you're born with. You get it keep it for life. Progressions are inner journeys. Transits are what life throws at you. In your natal, you have sun+moon trine Jupiter trine ascendant. Grand trine. You have an innate happy nature. Yay you In your progressed, you have sun+mars square natal/progressed saturn. This is leading you towards the depressed outlook :/ All your libra planets have moved into Scorpio --and while that's a change by itself -- you also have to deal with the unpleasant saturn life.
Now that's going to be there whether you like it or not. So, really the only way to deal with it is to embrace the problem (haha yes, exciting) and figure out how you can express this new mars (action) and sun (yourself) against the backdrop of saturn (reality/dilemma/seriousness of life). You will have to deal with this inner dilemma for few more years. I'm guessing completely here, but it may sound like: "ugh I can either do things and be me or I can deal with this serious stuff that keeps popping up. But at least love/art/money/food/travel/God (9th house venus) is going well."
You have progressed Venus conjunct Neptune and trine saturn. This I found interesting. According to the ever reliable WWW, this means you have met/will meet someone you may marry. Minor jealousy here
You could also be focusing on other Venus things. Maybe money is stable now and creativity is flowing!

When your progressed Mars is square or opposite your natal Saturn, you can go between extremes emotionally and mess with your energy levels. One day you’re high, the next day you’re low. You need to not give in to the extreme emotions and find some inner stability.

When your progressed Sun is square or opposite your natal Saturn, you can focus too much on your faults. You need to not be so hard on yourself or anyone else. Try not to be so pessimistic, and force yourself to keep working hard and not trying to find the back door in.
I really did want to end on a positive note but I'm getting sleepy. Give me some feedback and I'll see what else I can find. I have never really done an interpretation before for progressions, so you're kinda my first. I'm willing to listen if I'm totally wrong!
