Hi Myaxlrose
I'm glad you enjoyed reading Reason, Season, Lifetime(s) Well I've been looking at his chart for the day he posted the letter to you - obviously we don't know when he actually wrote it but he decided to post it to you on that day.
I'll go through some of his transist with you.....
Pluto is transiting his 5th House.
This is the house of romance, creativity, and children, as well as gambling and speculation. Now Pluto is the planet of extremes and also obsessions. If he likes to gamble..this would cause him big problems!
It can lead to gambling fever, which usually leads to big losses.
If he is a gambler he could well become obessed with it during this time, but that also is true for other 5th house matters, like sports, games, or hobbies.
Now of course, the 5th House also rules Romance. Any love affairs at this time are less likely to be light flings. More like obsessions. He would also be very jealous at this time - which is another Pluto problem. Relationships during this time can be extreme - for the good or bad.
Pluto made an exact Trine to his natal Saturn that day. Saturn is the planet of fear - Pluto can bring that out.
Saturn also rules persistence and discipline and Pluto can activate those things as well. This aspect can be an excellent time to start a long-term program of change and circumstances may force you in those directions. So may have been "pushing" him to change.
Pluto was also making an exact (0 degree)conjunction to his Natal Neptune.
This is a stressful aspect. Pluto can “kill” your dreams, faith, and fantasies. Pluto doesn’t care.....it just makes changes!
Pluto is his 5th house (romance) ruler and Neptune rules his 9th house (Religion, philosophy, higher education, "higher mind" long journeys)
So will have created changes in both those areas.
Pluto was also making an exact trine to his Natal Mid-Heaven
This aspect can transform your career, domestic environment, and relationships with your boss and parents. He could have experienced "office politics" at work, and power struggles both at home and work. This aspect can be a good time to make permanent changes in your home, or moving. It can also be favourable for changing jobs and even careers. He may have a desire to make these changes but it might be due to some inner compulsion or obsession that he still hasn't properly worked through.
Neptune is transiting his 7th house.
Neptune can make you "not see things clearly" it can mislead you. The 7h house rules relationships.
He may be "helping" the wrong people.
There is a tendency with this transit to try to "save" people - if that's happening, it will more than likely "backfire" on him in the end as he won't be seeing things clearly.
Neptune is Trine his Natal Pluto (quite tight at 1 degree)
Pluto is the ruler of Scorpio (his 5th house ruler). This can create fantasy. Neptune is dreams and fantasies and Pluto is sex. He could be obssessed with his dreams and fantasies at this time. He may not be grounded in reality but he may want to pursue his dreams, and even a few of his fantasies.
Neptune is making a square (1 degree) to his Natal Uranus.
Sudden (Uranus) confusion (Neptune) is one possibility of this transit. Another is that he will be opened up to totally new ways of looking at the world. Transits like this can get people interested in studying weird things. The square is a stressful aspect and can be a little rough to deal with. His old views on things are being challenged and he may not want to give them up.
Uranus rules his 8th house (Sex, death, rebirth -in the sense of regeneration, other people’s money, possessions, and values, your ability to utilize the possessions of others for your own ends) and Neptune rules his 9th (Religion, philosophy, higher education, "higher mind" long journeys)
His natal Neptune is in his 5th house (romance) and his natal Uranus is in his 4th house (home) These are the areas of his life that are being affected by this transit as well as his 7th house (relationships) as Neptune is transiting his 7th house.
Do you think that he has met someone else?
This transit could have brought someone into his life who he may be think is his soul mate - but most likely it isn't. Remember Neptune and rose coloured glasses. Re-read what I've already written about Neptune so far. Now he may not have met anyone - I'm just saying that it could be a possibility with this transit. I'm only mentioning it as we are "searching" for some answers for you
Uranus is transiting his 8th house.
Yes, this is the house of sex but it is also the house of credit and taxes, so he must be careful not to ignore his finances. He could be having financial problems.
As far as the sex goes, the tendency of Uranus here is to make one more inventive.
Saturn is transiting his 12th House.
He needs to watch out for extremely negative people coming into his life now. Usually, this shows people coming to you “help”. Only the help they need never seems to end. They can drain you. It doesn’t have to be a new person either. It could be someone you already know who suddenly “turns”. Saturn transiting here frequently marks the end of a long cycle.
Jupiter is transiting his 1st House.
By itself, this transit tends to bring new opportunities. Jupiter is also the ruler of Sagittarius, the sign of wisdom and philosophy. Jupiter going through your 1st House helps you understand. Optimism tends to increase. It’s a good time to make long range plans but you need to be careful not to make them too big.
Mars had just entered his 2nd house that day
Mars here will have given him a strong drive towards 2nd house issues (Money and possessions. But it goes beyond these. The second house also shows the VALUE you place on things, including yourself, so it includes your sense of self-worth)
Venus was transiting his 3rd house.
Well Venus speaks for itself and the 3rd house rules communications - hence the letter.......
Chiron is transiting his 6th house.
Chiron = healing. 6th house = work and health. Are things happening in those areas of his life that you know of?
Sun was just entering his 2nd house.
The Sun is where we want to shine. It will have been lighting his 2nd house matters up (see above for what the 2nd house rules).
Mercury (communication) was transiting his 2nd house (see above for 2nd house issues)
Mars was making an exact square to his natal Mars.
Mars was making an exact conjunction to his natal Saturn.
Sun was making an exact conjunction to his natal Saturn.
Sun making an exact trine to his natal Neptune.
Sun making an exact trine to his natal MC.
Chiron was exactly opposing his natal Mercury.
I'll edit this post later (or possibly tomorrow) to fill in the last few explanations.
Hopefully this will give you some possible reasons.
