But transiting Saturn square my natal Jupiter/Neptune was de-motivating (not hard with this aspect). It is moving away now and I am starting to get my act together. I tell myself I still got the important jobs done, I hope so, now is the time to make the most of new found energy and get some extra things accomplished (that have been waiting around).

Thing is these transits are happening ultimately for our benefit and our soul-growth. I know you're sick of hearing this, so am I. But truth is, if everything would be alright in our lives, if we'd stop overeating, engaging in destructive relationships, procrastinating etc etc, these transits would be a lot milder.

Good students don't get punished, so the only way to get through difficulties is to learn the lesson and pass the examination of these harsh teachers.

We don't have to be Victims of Transits.....

Awareness of what's on the horizon (transits) can help us modify our behavior so life-challenges aren't as painful -- I say this from the POV of someone who just survived tPluto sq Moon and tSaturn conj Asc, with tUranus approaching conjunction with Moon I have 9 of 10 planets between 20-29 degrees, so over the next few years or so, Uranus, Neptune, and Chiron will touch (or have touched) ALL of them -- goody.

Annoying as it may be to hear this, This Too Shall Pass..... and it really is useless and self-defeating to project the blame for challenging life-experiences off on balls of gas and icy rock in the sky

Currently tSaturn is:

Conjunct nVenus in my 11th House
Separating from a square with nUnranus

and there are upcoming tSaturn parties to come like tSaturn conjunct my PoF, sextile nJupiter and nNN amongst other things.

I can't say I am struggling with this transit but I am incredibly sober about life. My only worry is tMars squaring my nMars at the moment. Even tUranus is doing some wonderful things opposing my nSun [sarcasm in case you missed it]

How has Saturn treated me? Not too bad. It has only ruined things that were already in ruin and what Saturn is doing now is helping me clear out dead wood. Actually, the entire mood of this transit reminds me of when I was younger (I used to be more serious then).

Yeah, tSaturn is allowing me to see things objectively without the emotions that usually cloud judgment, or without the emotions that make me desire to hold on to things that have no value or benefit to me anymore. I am more efficient now. I am getting a lot done. I am more focussed and I am enjoying this time that I have to take care of myself because Saturn has made me more introspective than usual.

Saturn was transiting my 8th house.
Saturn was square my Sun, Mercury, Pluto, Venus, and opposed my Mars
Saturn was also conjunct my Moon.

Right now, Saturn is square my Saturn and Uranus is square my Uranus.

The key with Saturn is yea, if you're not ready for it, it'll bite you in the ass. But you better make sure you learn something and take it with you, because if not, it's only going to get worse. Every transit, especially the outer planets, is meant to help us grow and evolve individually.

Saturn can seem horrible because when Saturn transits a specific NATAL/progressed house, angle, aspect, and/or planet, things come to a screeching halt. The planet doesn't MAKE things happen, that's not Saturn's nature. Saturn simply digs up what's already there and makes you deal with it head on. There's no more skating by.

Saturn was going through my 7th and 8th house when all this occurred. I began my 1st serious relationship, and lost my virginity (8th house- sex).

When Saturn squared my Sun, I grew up. I fought my parents, especially my father who I had long standing issues with. I went off to college (Sun rules my 9th house). I was trusted with personal responsibility (Sun-Saturn), and I blew it. And so, my parents (Saturn) stepped in, and long story short- I grew up.

Then Saturn squared my Pluto, this probably coincided with my rough school year. I also went through serious psychological issues. Things I'd buried for years like eating disorders (Ceres-Pluto conjunct in Scorpio), depression, and suicidal tendencies. I also had MAJOR issues with "friends" and learned a great lesson from that. When this was over, I weeded all the negative people from my life. Pluto rules my 11th and 12th houses, and sits in my 11th house.

Then Saturn activated my Moon/Mars opposition. Conjunct my Moon in Leo, I was forced back home by my parents and demanded to prove to myself and them that I can be something special and actually achieve something.They knew this already, but it was a test to see how much I'd grown. As I stated before, When Saturn squared my Sun, responsibility was shoved down my throat. The Moon-Saturn conjunction now tested my emotional maturity. My relationship was HELL. It was loveless, and it hardened me..but it also taught me not to be naive. During this time, I literally became a new person, a complete transformation. I totally grew up. (Moon rules/sits in my 8th house of transformation)

At the same time, Saturn was opposing my Mars. I was driving a lot more, for the first time alone. I was a horribly reckless driver in my earlier years(Who wasnt?!) But I had my fair share of super close calls, that made me wise up very quickly. Money was also very tight and I had to learn how to prioritize my values (Mars rules my 2nd house of values and money).

Then Saturn squared my Venus and the true colors of my relationship exposed itself . I also began an affair with one of my best friends(Venus sits in my 11th and rules my 5th and 6th houses), my health went down the tubes and I was visiting doctors and getting tests done on a daily basis at age 20. I also finally settled on a career and excelled in my studies. Venus is the ruler of my MC, I received many rewards..

Thennnn Saturn squared my Mercury, I transferred to a new school(Virgo intercepted in the 9th), broke off my relationship and reunited with my soulmate (Mercury rules my 7th and sits in my 12th), had a ton of car issues and became terribly afraid of driving (After all those Saturn-Mars close calls).

Now Saturn squares my Saturn AND Mercury, and all the hardwork I'd done in the past 2 years in school to prove myself went down the tube as I was forced to take my hardest subject (Accounting! What a Saturn-Mercury combo) and failed miserably, I also dealt with corrupt teachers/school policies and had to clear my name...often.

So long story short- I know what you're going through but trust me, you'll get through it. There's a learning experience in every little thing you're experiencing and it's meant to make you stronger so..hang in there !

I've got the opposite problem. What happens if you have worked hard and are punished anyway? I was such a hard worker and I put in so much effort, not to get another better job. Saturn punished me for working hard. Explain that to me or do you consider my situation a blessing? Seriously, I'd like someone to explain
