Am I the only person who has ten million things being rushed at the same time lately, with plans getting cancelled, situations just not working out, etc?I've been thinking it was Mars Rx, but I'm wondering if it's because Saturn Rx has come back to haunt my Neptune? I don't recall Saturn transiting my T-square feeling this way last time, but I'm not that knowledgeable about retro planets other than Mercury... Has anyone else been dealing with this type of thing?

Aha, so it's not just me! We put an offer on a house yesterday, but we're still trying to get out of our lease. A little presumptuous, I know... [Edit long spiel about rental issues] But the paperwork yesterday was all whacked out, the realtor got my name wrong (I haven't changed my name), etc. And the entire time, my friend kept texting me, my mom was watching our son, and that was kind of a ridiculous circus of dysfunction... It's been like this for about two weeks, at least. And here's me. IP: Logged |

It might be the mutable grand cross still affecting, no?IP: Logged |

I'm kind of wondering... There was a lot going on when Saturn was on my T-square last time, but I attributed that to Neptune still sitting on my H8 Sun (issues with shared assets and money, etc). I'm wondering if Mars and Saturn can really create this much havoc together, but I guess they can? It just feels strangely like Mercury Rx with some Mars thrown in, for some reason. IP: Logged |

That .gif is hysterical. It could be because t.Mars in RX is opposing Mercury in Taurus which is in it's final degrees.IP: Logged |

Well... Pluto, Saturn, Mars and now nearly Neptune are all retrograde... Mercury has just left it's shadow though. Good insight here re Mars rx being opposite Mercury. IP: Logged |

Aaaaannnd the main employee at my husband's work just gave her two-week notice, which will leave him and the company in a tight spot while they try to find someone who is competent enough to replace her.My husband has run into some issues with this person disagreeing with him (he's her supervisor) and being borderline rude to him, etc, even though he's not always responsible for the decisions she's been upset about. So there's that. Wtf, these planets need to move on! The weird thing is that nothing in our charts really seem to be being affected by these transits right now, so I'm sort of at a loss as to how to go about it. If I'm aware of a transit's energy, I can usually make allowances and navigate decently so that the energies aren't quite this crazy, but...I'm just not really seeing anything to work with, regarding our charts. It's really odd. Saturn is on my Neptune, but mostly out of orb for the rest of my T-square, and basically out of orb entirely for my husband's Mutable T-square that hooks into mine. Weird...

Sorry to dominate the thread with my own stuff, by the way. Of course I want everyone who has been feeling this whacked out energy to share about it if they want to!IP: Logged |

Shi.... I mean stuff at work being ridiculous which is the typical for me during rx. We had been struggling to make a business deal also that really looked like it was going nowhere but we finally struck a deal. So maybe things will start looking up -that in my personal life. IP: Logged |

Seriously. It's nice to know we're not the only ones, and I'm glad that things are starting to move forward for you guys. IP: Logged |

I've only just found an email that you sent me last year (when I had emailed you upset, and you were very kind). It's an account I don't often use, and don't remember why I used that one.Odette once posted something about Uranus in synastry, I think it was, wondering if other people dealt with plans always falling apart when that was strong in charts/partnerships. Uranus is probably square your Mars now. Could that be it? IP: Logged |

Yeah, but I thought that was just my life. Honestly, it's always like this, like a permanent Saturn-square transit with maybe a Uranus opposition. It's one of the reasons I don't check transits often. More or less just roll my eyes and deal with it. IP: Logged |

I was wondering that as well. But my Mars is at 26 Capricorn, so again it's a bit out of orb, but... I might be starting to feel that energy a bit, I think. I was literally just thinking, right before I clicked on this tab, that it's even the electronic stuff not working properly. The really big thing is that as it starts to square my natal Mars, it will also be conjunct/opposite my son's Mercury, Venus, and Moon. IP: Logged |

Yes, with a Libra Moon in opposition to it. (Don't look at me, that's just part of our synastry.) IP: Logged |

Anyway, I don't care to focus TOO much on the negatives. I'll have a new baby, and my son will be adjusting to not being an only child any longer, so there's that. We'll find ways of dealing with the energies of those transits when they come (I'll hopefully be able to go back to physical activities, and while he's in karate we can possibly find other outlets for him as well).

Yes this is probably the hardest period for me financially ever. But things might be looking up? (I finally got another job.) I'm supposed to move somewhere new on Wednesday, and I am like a couple hundred dollars short. Living off of peanuts and oatmeal, and selling what little I have.. Lol. Whatever this is, it's been dragging on since April!The best part is that Jupiter has been in my 2nd house.. I guess it meant 'expansion of financial problems.' IP: Logged |

I wasn't thinking of Uranus as a negative. Most of the time, he's been positive for me - like a helium balloon, lifting me out of Pluto for a while, or just bringing a bit more fun into my life. I was looking forward to this transit of my Sun. Uranus might be more slapdash, though, so that's why it came to mind - transits are sometimes stronger for me as they're applying, rather than when they're exact. IP: Logged |

Oh, I meant for my son's transits, not in reference to your comment. For me, hard Uranus transits are...well, hard. And full of upheaval. Not really terrible at all, but just sort of crazy. I think I'm finding that, although I have Uranus square Mars in my natal, hard Mars transits (to and from Mars) might not be the easiest energy for me, because my Mars isn't that active in my chart. So maybe that Mars energy on any level is a little much for me, it's hard to say. IP: Logged |

Yeah, that's really the only thing you can do. Lol. I pretty much stopped following astrology altogether.. I just don't even want to know anymore. But I do miss it a little. IP: Logged |

Sorry to jump in here, but I was literally just talking about this very thing to someone yesterday. I seriously feel like my life is on hold; it's an uphill battle just to move the smallest centimeter forward it seems - been feeling crazy since April. Normally Mercury in retrograde doesn't bother me much - more like presents some annoyances, but overall things seem to run relatively smoothly. But this Mars in retrograde has been tough, especially at work.TMarsRX opposite Taurus Mercury hovering over my AC makes so much sense! My chart ruler is Pluto and Mars, which are both retrograde, which I imagine doesn't help things. Basically, you are not alone lol. Been a crappy couple of months for me too Looking forward to some planets moving direct here in the coming months. IP: Logged |

Seriously! Yeah, Mercury Rx generally presents its problems for me as well, but...no, nothing like this. Things have been disorganized and crazy, with a lot of arguments and tension, and nothing really falling into place. The arguments went away mostly after Mars and Mercury stopped hitting our natal charts, thankfully. My husband and I are mostly "go with the flow" types, in the grand scheme of things, so we're sort of accustomed to a natural ebb and flow that tends to work itself out in our world. But this stuff has had us just totally...flummoxed is the word that comes to mind. But yes, by all means please do jump in! I know I'm typing a lot here, but I do want to hear from everyone else if they're having the same type of thing happen. IP: Logged |
