What do my love transits look like? Is there any hope at all?
What about the thing with the lawyer, and of course school? Am I even going to be able to go to school this summer?
Could all this be from Pluto sextile Saturn or what?

A transit of Mars to the 12th House frequently creates a temporary sense of impotence and ineffectiveness. In the House of Pisces, Martian energy can be diffused and a person can lose his sense of direction and drive. Not only does he experience difficulty in acting in support of his own interests, he frequently becomes confused as to what they are. Other ways of thinking influence his judgment and his own emotional state can also make him question and revise his direction. At this time he tends to assert himself only fitfully and his changing perspective undermines any course of action, which requires consistency. In these circumstances a person can be open to exploi­tation and to being misled by others. It is frequently a very frustrating time. Nevertheless, a more thoughtful, accountable, compassionate perspective may be the abiding legacy of this transit.

Celeste Teal has written some interesting things about the Nodes on the website below, including their contact with Pluto. There is a gap where I have chopped out some of the doom and gloom stuff, but you can read it through the link. I warn you it reads like an episode of Law and Order: Criminal Intent.

They may be testing transits, but like all of them they will pass, and the experience may well bring its own rewards:

Nodes/Jupiter

Jupiter, as the “greater fortune” does indeed time the periods of greater material assets when combined with the nodes. This combination is often noted when material and financial increase occurs. However, these contacts usually time a period of additional expenditures as well, and the added income is sometimes necessary to cover these. Over-expansion is also a notable characteristic of Jupiter, and this contact may time a cycle of exceptional monetary risks. Heavy financial losses may be the result, although there is usually someone nearby who is willing to bet on the abilities of the individual to pull through and will often lend a helping hand. Even when facing the material setbacks occasionally signified by this contact, the individual will usually make fortunate strides in his or her philosophical beliefs as a direct result of the experience. If one does not benefit materially, then benefits will be of a spiritual nature. This combination also tends to be somewhat social in nature and generally brings one in contact with those of an honorable reputation who will act as a catalyst to spiritual or financial growth.

Nodes/Pluto
Links of Pluto with one of the nodes is quite dynamic. Pluto is associated with new strength in confronting and overcoming limitations while the nodes also time periods of exceptional strength in facing situations once and for all. Together, they show a time of reckoning with deep and powerful psychological issues.

Because the nodes are reflective of lunar qualities associated with the domestic environment, paired with Pluto, they often translate into literal transformations or reorganization taking place within the home or family unit. Circumstances are often somewhat tumultuous in the home, and/or renovations are taking place. There is a “coming to terms” with inner needs.

This Pluto link also brings termination and times the closure of significant issues, especially if there have been conflicts of interest. Immovable force meets with immovable force, and a collision of interests often results in a victory for one and defeat for another. A previous set of circumstances is rearranged upon a new foundation. ........The link of the nodes with Pluto is significant also of new enterprise and of financial matters. The house ruled by Pluto should also be considered in judging the probable area of life that comes into focus.

In addition to the changes initiated or encountered by the individual with a node/Pluto contact, on a larger scale it can be witnessed to produce a change in consciousness by the masses when it is the transiting node upon the natal Pluto of a generation.

There is also a discussion on transiting Pluto Conjunct South Node here:

I seem to remember seeing that lawyers chart, I think you posted it at one point and I noticed that his chart suggested that he might be really ill or suffering some loss. Do you remember this? Or do you still have his chart? I just remember something really funky about his chart.

Well, in any case, I hope it benefits you at this time, I know you're going through a lot with this case.
