Last night I mapped out all of my long-term aspects that I'll be deal with for part or most of the year. Of course I could have looked up what each aspect means, but they don't include sign/houses with them. So I put all of that together, and took the meanings of each planet/sign/house and threw them together. I'm wondering how accurate it is to do this though?! Once you get to Neptune and Uranus...things kind of stop making sense.

Anyway, for example...I have transiting Saturn in Cancer in my 4th house opposing my MC in Cappy. The way I wrote this out, as one possible interpretation is: limitations and obstructions with emotions and sensitivity in the family and home bring strain and tension to ambitions with career and life goals. This rings true with me, even though I view it as a bare bones interpretation...

but then I look at..say...
Uranus in Pisces in my 11th house sextiling my Taurus Ascendant. One could interpret this literally as...Changes and upheaval in imagination and dreams in social circles and friends supports your persona/outward appearance of stability and practicality. WHAT?

So yeah, something just seems off with doing it this way...

Yeah it does seem a bit mind-boggling when every other transit seems to contradict the next. But I think that as the outer planets transits take longer, sometimes years, the outcome of their transit may not become apparent until it's nearly over or even already passed. So the good & the bad things may not occur simutaneously, but months apart.
Like in my case I have been experiencing some pretty good transits in the past few years...especially with lots of lovely Jupiter transits to my planets & Houses. And there are some positive things that have come out of it. But at the same time, by the time Pluto finished squaring my natal Pluto and transiting my 10th House, I had lost my father and two grandparents. So the horrific transits didn't really contradict the great ones and vise-versa, they just operated on a completely separate level.
...I don't know if I'm explaining this right lol but I hope that kinda made sense.

Call me a dreamer, but I think part of what we are all doing here in this forum, whether we know it or not, is finetuning our language, astrology. By sharing our firsthand experiences and observations regarding the Signs, etc., we de-emphasize or emphasize "traits". If there were more of a way to add on to the language of the interpretations provided above, or tweek it so it would be easier for it to make sense alongside "contradictory" information, that would be great!

Virgotaurus - feel free to take those interpretations and adjust the language to fit more what you are experiencing. We can compare them side by side in order to understand wherein the confusion may exist languagewise.
