this transit is horrible. it didnt start out this bad...but Saturn has a way of wearing things down..and it when it comes to my emotions holy crap. I never thought controlling them would be so painful.

Needless to say, I am NOT having a good time.

Yea, I love my Leo moon.

I am having a tough Saturn transit right now as well so I feel for ya! Transiting Saturn is conjunct my natal Saturn, opposite my natal Moon, square my natal Venus / Uranus conjunction.

I don't necessarily think that emotions are meant to be controlled (unless you're ripping into someone else, then you need to check yo' self!). They're signals that catch your attention so you can ask yourself the right questions and look inside yourself in the right places in order to grow. Hence the growing pains.

So maybe instead of controlling them, just follow them to the source!? Saturn can be restrictive, but on the good side he can restructure as well

Saturn's a tough one, but the only reason it hurts so much is beacause something went wrong along the way. It sucks, but it will lead us back to the best in ourselves

Saturn says straighten up and start taking responsibility for your actions. Its karmic so your lessons are beyond your immediate control. You deal with what life serves you and you do the best you can. Never take the low road or your lessons will never end. Saturn kills confidence kind of like a drill SSG but once you have hit bottom and let go of all the incorrect preconcieved notions he builds you back up better than ever. The worse thing you can do is feel sorry for yourself because then you wallow in self pity and Saturn will not stop untill his lesson is complete.

I know this post sounds kind of mean and unsympathetic and I'm sorry about that but the only way to get through this is with this attitude and understanding.

Feel for you. Saturn is in retro now, so you are going through the same things again until it turns direct again. So hang on there till April.

The conjunctions and oppositions of transiting Saturn are more uncomfortable than the squares. A lot also depends on where Saturn is in your natal chart. If its on an angle especially the 1st house (which I have) you have already learned to live with the "heaviness" of Saturn on a day to day basis. Right now T. Saturn is squaring my natal Moon which hasn't bothered me as much as that crazy Mars (in Taurus) transit. Back and forth, back and forth that really sucked lemons it seemed to mess with me more emotionally. Plenty of tears and it really "fired" up my emotions.

In my natal, Pluto is in a mutable house with mostly easy aspects so its kind of invisible but when it hit my Ascendant by transit it destroyed my world as I knew it. This is because I have no experience dealing with such a depressing, controlling planet. I was caught completely off guard. I'm still smarting from that one

and Pluto is in my 1st house, conj many personal planets and asc so maybe that's why Pluto's affect doesnt bother as much as Saturn

Saturn's in Sag in my chart in the 2nd house. It's funny how this transit is working out.

I'm having a hard time with college because I don't have enough money (didnt save enough) and my parents (Mars in the 4th house) arent gonna help me out this time, well not as much as they did before. ANd it's holding me back in the career I wanna get into because I have so much to do for it it's makng me think I'll never get there (Moon in Leo, 10th house)

Yes, it is interesting to see how different transits pan out on different charts. We really are all so wonderfully unique. For examle, I've seen many in trouble coping with transits opposing their Sun. This transit usully works fine for me as any transiting planet opposing Sun will also be sextile Moon/Pluto and trine Mars. So, there is no problems with finding positive outlet. May not be easy, but managable. But the squares to Moon are hanging there quite alone - brrr...

And yes, I agree with the differences between the planets we work with constantly and those not as familiar. My 8th hs Saturn is singleton and pretty much unaspected (trine Moon with verrry wide orb). I'm really completely and utterly blind about that planet until it hits something (or is hit by something). Interstingly the Saturn return was one of the best times in my life. I really don't get Saturn although my Cappy Sun should give some natural affinity. . Pluto is right there on the Asc, trine Sun and conj Moon. There is no place I could run from Pluto even if I wanted to.
