What happened during yours?

Anyway, it's just an annoying aspect. Makes you lonely I think, in a way, and is isolating. I have a 6th house stellium and once Saturn gets off my sun he's going to be hitting THAT, so I am not looking forward to it.

I hate Saturn. I hate hearing how he's about discipline and 'learning'. I just think that's a load of crap sometimes because it seems like the whole point of the lesson to see how you deal with annoyances. I've got enough problems!

In my question, I forget to put in the aspect - it's a conj I'm worried about. My Sun is in Virgo in the 2nd house, almost on the border of the 3rd.

I'm about to start learning a new career so it makes sense that discipline, learning, and responsibility will be bearing down on me. Interestingly, my last t.Saturn conj n.Sun I was just starting a new job that was a lot of pressure at first but it turned out to be very good for me for several years, until my t.Saturn square n.Sun.

In your 2nd house, I'd say finances and even your physical body are being highlighted. Casting light on your 8th house...anything with inheritance? What's going on in your 8th house? I would say a lot of what might be getting looked at has to do with sexuality and the 'deeper mysteries of life', so to speak, making you more serious about them.

Yeah, Saturn does suck big time. Through all of the Saturn transits I've learned only one thing as you've said: how to deal with annoyances. It also doesn't help that Saturn is my chart ruler...

Lol. You have no idea how right you are about Saturn coming up with new ways of tormenting me. The things that have happened to me sound like they came straight out of a movie, so I am REALLY dreading my Saturn Return even though that won't happen for several more years. It doesn't help that my Saturn is in Scorpio...ugh.

Heart cakes,

pluto transit conjunct neptune, AC, and venus
saturn opposite sun
saturn return (in the 8th, intense!!)
chiron conjunct sun, mercury and mars
and now saturn conjunct NN and square neptune

i know there have been a couple more big ones i can't think of. but yeah things have been crazy difficult. the silver lining is that i've learned a LOT and i'm a much stronger and more confident person now!

I do agree that Saturn helps eventually. It's just that it SLOWS everything down that you don't really want slowed down...and even if it's a good thing to slow down, with Saturn it's like unnaturally slow (Aries moon talking...but even my Taurus rising is rolling its eyes at Saturn LOL)

Astra, my first Saturn Return was not bad at all. I had all this terror associated with it, and it turned out to be a surprisingly pleasant time...I spent a lot of time alone then, working on my first book, and really enjoyed my own company A friend of mine was saying that Saturn's effects are especially felt (for better or worse) if they make an aspect to your ascendant, and it wasn't at that time. So maybe check and see if it will make any contact to it, because that might determine the degree of discomfort.
Just a thought.
