I'm not trying to persuade you to do transits. I just want to make sure that you know what you could be missing by leaving that out. For a full picture of you, an astrologer usually needs your natal, transits and progressions chart. The harder the q's you ask, the more info an astrologer needs.

Would current transits help explain at least what is going on right now and what I could do about it?

Yes, definitely, I can try!
So you like to know two things: how to improve your relationships and also your finances?
Transits are based on moving planets so what affects you now won't last forever. I hope you don't hold it against me if I point that out. It's not future-telling; it's a fact-based assumption/suggestion. Like in medicine, you see something bad, you know from similar "bad" things, to estimate how things will progress in the near future. It's a good guess based on current fact analysis.

In terms of transits, Sun and Merc transit your 1st house right now highlighting communication issues (Merc) and issues with being yourself (Sun). T Saturn is in Libra as you know and has gone past your natal Merc accentuating the natal t-square formation I mentioned above. So, it's no wonder that you feel it more and deeper and also feel the urge to do something about it (sq your Mars).

The apex of the t-sq is your Merc in Libra. It's also in your 11th house along with your Sun, so even more emphasis on the house of friends, groups, dreams, wishes. The resolution of a natal t-sq often lies in the missing 4th leg, in your case right opposite your Merc in Libra, i.e. at about 20d Aries.
And lo and behold, you have your TRUE NODE there. Resolving this matter is your "call" in this lifetime! This is very karmic. Your SN is in a tight conjunction to your N Merc squaring Moon and Mars at the apex of the t-sq. You need to learn to use your Merc skills in order to resolve the issues that hurt you (Cancer Moon) or make you feel an unexpressed anger (Cap Mars).

Yes, I meant using communication to resolve things BUT your Merc is part of the t-sq so no wonder you have been having issues with your communication style as well.

I would suggest you read up on the pair Libra SN-Aries NN. It will help you a lot in figuring out how to resolve your problem.
I don't know you personally to make concrete suggestions but I can see you care a lot about what others think (a Libra propensity) and what you truly need is to set more firm boundaries about who YOU are (an Aries propensity). When our souls try to balance the SN and the NN, they travel all the way from the karmic past of the SN (your Libra Merc) to the soul goal in this life (your Aries missing leg). It doesn't mean that you have to abandon your SN ways; it just means that you have mastered them, and you need to move past them, using their best elements and integrating them with their opposite complement; the audacity, individuality, and boldness of your Aries NN.
You are very lucky in a sense that your t-sq resolution lies in your NN. Please read up on the Nodes of the Moon. Do you need any links, let me know.

I will look a bit on your transits in case I can see what is going on with your finances but it's significant that the above-mentioned t-sq also affects your money 2nd-8th house axis. It's very telling! Let me look.

We have a pattern here repeated through both natal placement and via transit. Do you see it? Bottom line: you need to stop being "too out there" and focus more on being the unique and brilliant YOU that you are. Stop caring that much about other people's feelings; think about YOUR feelings for once. Stop focusing too much of your energy outside of you. Start doing the things your Moon needs. Say "no" when things are not to your liking.
Put firm boundaries in your dealings with others. Your life lessons will help you achieve this transformation. If you willingly act towards this direction, things will become increasingly better for you.

Both. The thing with Pluto is this: he will demolish everything in order for you to rebuild it to your liking. Anything deemed superfluous is going. There's no holding back. You have your Moon in his natural home; are you aware how intuitive you are? Have you developed that skill? Pluto, ruler of Scorpio, loves mystery and "feeling" things through. You have to trust him but he can be a bully (lol). The thing to remember is that he only demolishes what does NOT work already; if something is solid, he won't touch it! He's not stupid; esp. not when in Capricorn. Because his transit through a sign takes a while, expect a lack of stability for a while. Save. Keep applying for jobs. Keep interviewing. When something works, keep it as it is. Most of all, focus on your MArs-Moon opposition between your 2nd-8th house axis in relation to both your finances and your relationships with people.

As for the other, are you saying that if I stop caring/worrying so much about what others think about me, that might remove some roadblocks to people liking me/me having successful relationships?

---

Yes, I feel it boils down to that. And to putting firm boundaries in your relationships. When you believe you were true to yourself do not back down because someone disagrees! Respect yourself first and they will too.

Here's a good link about your Nodal axis. Read and think about it. It is not a problem to solve tomorrow; it's a life-long issue for you BUT it can get infinitely better than it is right now:

And does it say anything about whether or not current issues with people can be resolved, or are those just hopeless/should I give up on those people and those issues?

---

Thinking like a Libra again ("hopeless") lol... I have Jup in Libra so my Sag Sun is dominated by Libra. I too feel that when I fail in my relationships, they are just hopeless. I can almost "touch" that hopelessness lol.
It is definitely NOT hopeless. And it is of paramount importance for your soul to NOT give up on this effort. But you need to change the way you go about resolving it. The Libra way needs to be used in tandem with the Aries way. Please read up on the Nodes. I am not sure how much you know about the SN/NN.

As for the fifth house, I don't want kids and don't believe in casual sex, but I DO definitely need more fun and creativity in my life. I used to write and draw but haven't been able to do that in years. Could resolving my other issues help bring back my creativity?
