Also Uranus is squaring your venus, and the fact that Uranus is coming closer to your Venus, intensifies the effect. Uranus transits are always unstable and uncomfortable. It usually tends to show a break up, or some some of emotional turmoil. I think this combined with the pluto/venus transit, it brings upon something very emotional and unstable. I think it wont get any better to be honest. I see more stability once saturn enters your 7th house, but then it also restricts love at the same time, and brings about a lot of pain and suffering concerning love, but this is also a time when people make it work or break up. this is a good time to get married and very common.

I think whatever youre going thru right now is teaching you a lot, and what is needed to get the benefits of the saturn/7th transit coming up.

I also think with jupiter coming near your natal moon, you will be more emotionally happier, after the storm leaves.

WEll, I can`t really help you with the transits and progressions, but I guess it wouldn`t help that much anyway.
HOwever, it gets better, and one day maybe you will be able to see the sense of this pain, because I honestly believe even in this pain there`s something to learn, to gain for you personally.

Without my pain I wouldn`t be the person I am today. And I think I like to be the person I am, at least sometimes.

yes, you will have. Or at least you still can have one, if you want it.

AS I see it, these painful experiences add a layer, some more depth to your psyche. Sure, it`s dark, melancholic and sad at times, but only if oyu experience that you can be truely happy. Not the shallow, giddy kind, but true peace of mind. It will come to you, I`m sure.
At least for precious moments.

Speaking of myself, I wouldn`t want to miss those experiences, no matter how much they hurt. But they opened my eyes to a part of myself, that I had never happened to face before.
I think melancholy has its place; at least in my life it has, and has often led to some of my better thoughts and ideas.
Of course you have to take care not to slip into a depression.
I hope you know what I mean.

I know what you mean. I also sometimes think I will always be alone; I am 33 now. But hey, maybe I am not meant to have a family in traditional terms?
I guess I have to accept whatever is going to happen (or not happen).

But I think it`s important to keep an open heart and to learn to trust again, to learn to "allow" love to happen (at least in my case it`s some sort of lesson I have to learn; because I have been pretty defensive over the last years, I admit).
If one isn`t open, then the stars could align as wonderfully as they want, nothing would happen.

But having said that; after a short glance at your chart I saw that you have Pluto in 7, the ruler of the 8th house is in your 7th house and Pluto is also conjunct Juno.
Well, it seems that you feel a great desire for passion and love, that is eternal. But often love is mixed with pain in the case of Venus-Pluto (or Pluto in 7th house).
Knowing that you may even tend to withdraw from this kind of love, when it knocks at your door. You know that you can fall very deeply in love, probably deeper than other people, and that the other one could hurt you badly and scar you for a long time. This may be the reason that you keep back from letting yourself totally fall into those passionate feelings. Also, the Uranus in 7th house square Moon in the 11th house shows that you also have a great need for freedom and independence, almost a fear of intimacy.
I know these seem to contradict eachc other, but those are both sides of your personality.
Maybe you project one of those onto others?

However, I also had a look at your solar return this year.
With Venus in Libra in 10th house and Moon in 5th house trine Jupiter / Pluto in 1st house, I think there is a good chance of romance, or at least there will be some intense emotional stuff happen.

Venus is widely trine Chiron in 2nd house. Maybe this will be a year of healing?

But there`s also Mars on the cusp of 8th house squaring Venus, so I guess some very intense transformations will occur, but it could be a bit of a rough ride with Mars in emotional Cancer in intense 8th house.

Your progressed horoscope shows Moon exactly on the Taurus-ASC.
This year will be all about emotions I guess.
Also, pr Venus exactly conjunct pr NN in Aquarius in 10th house - a fated romance?
Or you become clear about what you need romantically?
Does this guy have something on 5° Aquarius, Leo, Gemini or Libra?

You`ve had pr Venus square Moon / ASC, but that is now separating, so maybe it really will get a bit easier for you.
