re this from the other thread ..

**I feel like everyone is stressing me out lately
and I can't be bothered with it, not sure whats going on in the chart though.
Wish I could get some pointers.**

on the outside ring of this chart .. ( download the chart if you want to keep it )
transiting saturn on the left and transiting chiron on the right ..

( the node in the pic is the north node .. the 'white' moon is black-moon Lillith )
keys to symbols etc. on the pic can be found here ..

looking at transiting saturn .. you can see since it entered virgo ..
it has .. conjoined natal jupiter .. squared natal sun and now conjoins natal mars ..
( and transiting venus is conjoining natal saturn )
at the moment your starting to feel the saturn conjoining natal mars as it applies ..
in simple terms .. mars is the accelerator .. saturn the brakes ..

that transit will repeat itself as t.saturn goes retro then direct again ..
so two more hits of the same transit ..
t.saturn is moving thru your first house .. therefore opposing your seventh house ..
so potentialy .. it' could be 'me' versus 'others' type feeling

as for transiting chiron ( the red 'duck' symbol) .. it's squaring your MC/IC axis ..
i've not checked for it's future movements ..
so not sure if it will repeat itself by retro movement ..
can't tell you much about chiron transits except they can feel like the pits .. :-)
potentialy more so than a saturn transit .. and that it's effecting a sensitive axis in your chart ..
feeling wounded is a potential .. so maybe watch how you might react to that ..

one good way to figure how the various transits effect you ..
is to download a freebee astro programme and when you feel a certain way ..
then check the transits to your natal placements .. and make notes ..
sooner or later you will probably recognise the transits by the way you feel ..
with an astro programme you will also be able to see ..
what the planetary movements are doing in the future ..
i.e. if and when they go retrograde and make the same aspect again etc etc

btw: i've not looked in detail .. those transits are the ones that stand out .. i may have missed something ..
be late at the moment and i'm a bit tired ..

Thank you so much, it all sounds spot on to me.

I'm definitely feeling the me versus them feeling at the moment, its a weird one.

So mars is the accelerator......and saturn the brakes?? that explains the push /pull thing I often feel like lately.

I shall look up the various transits. and the freebie astro programmes, sounds just what I need. I'm definitely feeling Saturn already, even though saturn returns not til next year sometime.

I wonder if any of these transits are anything to do with weird dreams,as I've been getting the odd one here and there.

that's one way of looking at it .. mars in the chart is probably the main driving force ..
i don't know who said it .. but .. without mars folks probably wouldn't get out of bed in the morning ..
so with transiting saturn sitting on top of natal mars ( i.e. the conjunction )
a person might feel like there's an obstacle in the way of their natural drive ..
which can feel frustrating ..

with computer readout interpretations .. keep in mind not to take them literaly ..
they are just a guide .. but lets say you were to read thru all the given 'mars transits'
you will find a common thread as it were ..

try this google search string " astrology software for pc shareware freeware"

this one looks interesting .. it's by walter.d.pullen
~ http://www.magitech.com/~cruiser1/astrolog.htm ~
( it's freeware by the looks of it )

basicly all you need is a programme that will calculate and show transits ..
i use 'kairon' which is a freebee for apple mac computers ..
sorry .. i've not used pc software so can't recommend any particular one ..
but .. walter pullen is a known name .. if that's any help ..

i've got this thread bookmarked ..
if i can think of anything that might help i'll type it up 'n post here ..
