So let's pull this apart and put it back together ...

First, Saturn quincunx natal Mars asks for some adjustments in any behaviors that have been working against you -- especially those of a Neptunian nature (drugs, even innocuous OTC items, too much TV or other intake of hypnotic images, music choices, etc). This need not be seen as a major overhaul. Can you identity any communicative habits (natal Mars in Gemini) that are dividing your energies or not really getting you anywhere? Any bad habits of mind that could be keeping up wishful thinking, actions with no rewards? Time to let go of those. You'll feel freer for it.

Your natal chart has Venus square Neptune. Saturn is introducing a 'stop' to your romantic fantasies and delusions now. It doesn't feel good, but it is in the long run. No one wants to live based on wishful thinking or build any life foundations on such things. Natal Venus square Neptune indicates a lot of sensitivity and a heartfelt nature, but it also requires courage to put yourself forward and build real relationships.

The most common type of wishful thinking or delusion is that hope alone will make something happen for us. The universe operates with the understanding that actions -- even words spoken in belief -- have a power that thoughts or hope alone don't. So Venus square Neptune can get caught in a pattern of wishful thinking, some action hindered by apprehension, followed by disappointment, then holding back to avoid being disappointed again.

So take the time to probe this carefully. Ask yourself What are my disappointments? Name them, write them down. Don't worry if the list is long. Look for what the common thread is. Ask yourself what you have been hoping for to happen that has not?

These are where your constructive creative power must come into play so that you are operating with effective tools and efforts. You do have the courage and wisdom to create your own outcomes.

Next, take a look at where you've not been getting your real needs met (Moon in Virgo) or where there are underlying health concerns holding you back. How can you take charge of that? If you can manage to become more organizational and practical in taking charge step-by-step, then you'll pull out of this in short order. Look also for whether you could benefit from nutritional support to strengthen your body and thus your confidence.

Just go one step at a time. Be practical towards an ends of becoming more emotionally happy. This may not be easy at first, but if you examine the various facets of this I do believe you can achieve what Saturn's sextile to your natal Pluto now is offering -- new empowerment along practical lines that sets you on a better path forward.
