Do you guys see anything in my chart that would indicate a sudden onset of illness? All I noticed was my progressed Sun sitting on my natal 12th house cusp, exactly squaring Mars. Transiting Neptune is exactly conjunct my Progressed Mars, thus square my natal 6th/12th axis. But that's been going on for a while, it seems like there's more to it than that.

What do you guys see if anything?

Natal

Natal Progressed Solar Arc as of 9/9/08

This is probably a good time for your body to force you to slow down while this transit occurs, preventing you from becoming involved in potential clashes with others.

You have also been going through your Saturn Return. This may have taken a toll on you. Have you gone through some huge changes over the last 2 years with your job? relationship? moved interstate?

Rest up, take it easy, eat and drink well. I hope you're feeling better soon!

Which Mars? Transiting Pluto is at 28' Sag, my Mars (natal) is 10' Aquarius. Progressed Mars is at 24' Aquarius and Solar Arc Mars is at 2' Pisces? Did you mean another planet?

Have you been working too hard lately, and are run-down?

No, not at all. Actually, I took some time off this summer and haven't been working hard enough if anything. I know Saturn is squaring my natal Saturn and Ascendant. That could be an option too, but other than that no hard work here. I've been doing a lot of hard "thinking" if that counts. I've been trying to rush things, that really can't be rushed. Control situations that can't be controlled...that could be the underlying message here.

I am? Unless the square counts as a return, which I wasn't aware of, if so, that makes sense. Yes, I have. I ended a toxic long term relationship last September, I transferred to a new college, changed my career path, rekindled an old flame and entered a new relationship, lost friends, made new friends, tied up all kinds of loose ends...

Saturn has been pretty much been playing Captain for the last 4-8 years of my life. Maybe that's where I should be looking..

Yes! Big time, there's a major secret I'm keeping from my family. And I never keep secrets (Jupiter in 3rd), but this is a life-changer and I want to tell them, but I just can't find the right time or way to tell them.

It's been eating away at me for years. My parents are very old-fashioned, in that they don't trust anything new like meeting/dating people from the internet. When I was in high school, I met this guy online and we talked for years until we had a huge blow out and stopped. But while we were talking, I felt he was my true love then (I was a youngin'). I kept it a secret from my parents the whole time because at that time I wasn't even allowed to date. When we stopped talking, it was like I was off the hook cuz now I didn't have to tell them anything and I figured we'd never talk again so it didn't matter. But by some twist of fate, he's come back into my life after 3-4 years of virtually no contact. (I literally erased him from my life, and he did so to me too, since I hurt him...and he's a Super Taurus, so imagine)..

Now he's not only back in my life, but I snuck off and visited him for a week where he lives (out of state) and now, I'm older, my parents don't care as much who I date, but the very fact that I met him online, and I've already visited him without them knowing, and etc. etc. behind their back is going to cause more trouble than its worth. And knowing that, has been stressing me out tremendously.

It's hard to keep a relationship going, especially one this serious (We're moving in together as soon as I grad) when it's surrounded by secrets.

Transiting Saturn is square your Ascendant exactly now. Saturn rules the ears, the Ascendant is your health center. Sometimes when Saturn stresses the Ascendant or the Ascendant ruler, it can suggest weakness in the body. Just do what you need to take care of yourself, I don't believe it's permanent.

Saturn also rules authority-especially the father.

My suggestion is for you to remember:

This is your world to explore and experience. You must take risks and seek adventure in many ways including romanctic relationships, sexuality, and other ways. Your parents don't own you, they don't own your soul, they don't own your eartly experiences and existance. Their job was to love you and guide you and basically, keep you alive until adulthood.

Your life is now yours, it's yours to create the way you want it to be. Now it's your parents job to let go. Letting go of children is an important part of the parenting process. If they don't let you go and be free, they are not doing well by you as paretns. They must relinquish control so that you can be a healthy adult human being.

Yes, keeping a huge secret from your parents is definitely making you sick. It's best to avoid keeping secrets like this from your parents. You don't need to tell your parents about every single person that you date, but you should mention the ones that matter more to you--the ones you see yourself having a relationship with. My friend hid her boyfriend from her parents for eight years and now she's engaged to him. She now has the huge problem of telling her parents that she's going to marry a guy who they have never even heard of before! Don't fall into the same trap!

I know exactly how you feel. I have a parent who is very overprotective and strict. In my family at least, if I had ever dared to secretly date anyone, then I would officially no longer be part of my family. I doubt that your parents would go to this extreme, but nonetheless you should be upfront about this guy.

Just say this: "Mom, dad, I have something important to tell you. I've met a really wonderful guy online. I visited him and he's just as wonderful in person. The reason I didn't tell you about him earlier is because I knew you'd be upset and I didn't want to tell you until I was sure that this guy was someone I could see having a potential long-term relationship with. He really makes me happy and I know that ultimately you want me to be happy, so won't you please just give him a chance before you judge him?"

Offer your parents the chance to meet him so they can see for themselves that he's a decent guy.

-I will let them know, and soon. It's better to just get it out there and it is my life...

-What planets rules the liver and spleen? My spleen and liver are slightly enlarged at the moment and I was wondering if there's some kind of astrological signature for that..

-Geo,

I didn't even realize that about Saturn. (And to think I check my transits a few times a week, doh) Thanks so much for pointing that out!

you don't need to explain your own truth to anyone else. you just have to be at peace with it yourself.

you don't have to be so open with your parents - that's not being dishonest with them - just not open. but, truly, it's not their business how, when or where you met your loved one. you don't even have to disclose that. the joy of being an adult - wrong or right - you don't need to explain yourself anymore.

it's safe for you to go beyond their expectations of you and it's safe for you to live your own truth. it's part of your life lessons. you are much stronger than you know. and the time has come for you to grow into yourself. when you live your own truth - you will heal - and that stress wil leave your body - you will not be wound up anymore. let go of that fear and free yourself - that's the key for you.
