Though it hurt like nothing I've ever felt before, it only took me a day to realize I was free from a lot of BS, that I won't get into on here.

I was miserable in February.
March got better, but I still had my moments of sadness from time to time. March 16th was a huge turning point for me, to not let ex affect my well being anymore.
April: was lots of fun, started to go out a lot. A few flings. Had a friend with benefits.
May: finished winter semester. Was going out a lot. While I had the fwb, I hung out with other guys platonically. Well one of them it got harder and harder to be platonic with and got more romantic. By May 16th we decided to date exclusively.
June: We decided to make our relationship fb official.

What I find to be interesting is that my bf and I have exact opposite Venus signs. I'm a Venus Pisces 6 degrees and he is a Venus Virgo 6 degrees.

Astrological interpretations of it are a bit like news stories. They tend to play up the drama, over-dramatizing rather than lending clarity to what is the core meaning and inherent purpose of the transit (or any other).

At times it is easy to see in retrospect that it was a great gift as it timed the non-start or end of a relationship/affair of the heart that had no future, no potential. Such Saturn prog/transits can help guard the heart from what can later prove to be more heartache than joy.

For one, this is not a long-term transit, really. Several months is nothing in the scheme of a lifetime. For a transit to be long-term in my book it needs to last at least a year, preferably for years.

In any case, Saturn in square transit to your natal Venus tests the strength and purpose of your love life, and even more fundamentally your values. Let's look at what these two planets have in common and see what their meeting point is. It is not true that because Saturn is 'malefic' and Venus is 'benefic' that they are at odds with each other, Saturn as 'bad guy' and Venus as 'good girl.' When planets aspect they are resonating, interacting. So there will be a meeting point at which what they have in common will interact. This is at values and priorities for these two planets.

Some priorities may have to be adjusted to bring more meaningful, lasting pleasure and affection into your life. Relationships will certainly be tested, but need not be broken unless too much damage has already been done. Venus leans us to passivity, wanting good things pleasures to come to us. Saturn knows worthwhile things require effort. Thus it can seem demanding, but reminding us quality and long-term stability are worth the effort.

So where can more effort be made towards this?

Have you neglected something important in your personal needs for love, affection, protection?

Have you been a doormat, and now you feel pinned in by unfair expectations from others that you allowed to happen?

Have you been dating along with someone who has already demonstrated that their priorities and values don't line up with yours?

Usually some sincerely thought out adjustments will solve any problems for an existing relationship. But if during this time, a relationship doesn't take a more serious turn towards commitment, it may be over.

More patience with the others is usually required during this transit. It is not generally a time to 'fight for' a relationship, but to strengthen within -- to better withstand the challenges that relating to others inevitably involves, but which we normally don't like to think about, especially at the early stages of infatuation, honeymoon period, etc.

So we both pretty much have our own experiences of having Neptune and Saturn influencing our Venus signs. Learned from it, and are expressing our wants and needs in a relationship while getting to know each other.

It's 3 degrees away from my sign.

It's been a rough but exiting week. Just been more busy than usually and not feeling 100%

Starting to feel ugly. Self esteem the past few days is getting low.
I notice this happens when I don't have time/money to go shopping, no time for creative outlets(DIY projects, hairstyle, make up, effort into my looks) and exercise.
I got busier, time of the month, then got a cold.
I've taken time to my self today and finally went running, and my hair is clean, and put a little make up, and went shopping.
Getting a little more optimistic, and getting ready to face the music.

But sometimes I have moments where I'm just like, wow my life really sucks. I hate when I am feeling down and just want to be alone, and can't be. I still live with my parents. Been working hard to change that, it can be hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I was feeling so down today, that I told myself that it was never going to happen.

I had to tell my mom to stop going in my room a few weeks ago.

And today my sister called me. I go down stairs and mom and the neighbor are quiet. My mom flat out says "we are eaves dropping on you!" Yeah you can hear everything in this house.
I go to the garage to be alone, nope dad's in there. So I have to take a walk outside.

I feel so alone with what I am going through right now. Really is not a good "I have absolutely no privacy" day for me.

I'm wondering if this is Saturn's influence. Wondering if what I am feeling will pass.
