One thing I noticed in her progressed chart though, is she does have her moon in her 8th house and it seems like it just recently progressed there. I just went through a whole year of 8th house progressed moon misery, so I'd say I can relate to the "feeling unusually depressed for no reason" part.

To me, progressed moon in the 8th is a time for facing your darkest and deepest fears. When the moon was halfway through my 8th house, I was faced with almost everything I dreaded.

The 8th house progressed moon destroys you and strips your life off of everything you have acquired up to now. This makes it easier for change to come to your life. The process is difficult, but the changes are so quick, you won't even have time to catch your breath. After the whole destruction part, a new life begins and a new you rises from the ashes of your old life.

My advice for your friend is that she be prepared to let go of the things she holds dear because those things will be taken away from her one way or another. If she keeps holding on even when it's time to let go, it will be harder for her to cope.

Also, she might feel a little worthless at this point in her life. If she truly does, my advice would be not to look for validation from anyone else but herself so that she doesn't look for love in the wrong places.

I also quote from thedarkpixieastrology.com:

Progressed Moon in the 8th house
The effect of the Progressed Moon moving through the Eighth House is very similar to when it moves through the sign of Scorpio. It can be a very draining experience, emotionally charged and difficult. When the Moon first crosses into this house, you have a good chance of seeing some sort of significant change, whether it’s the ending of a relationship, a life-changing decision, or loss of some kind. You may have to deal with power struggles, people on power trips or internal control issues. Financial problems could come up, especially in relation to joint finances, debts, loans, or credit. You can easily find yourself very lonely and down during this period if you don’t use it wisely or haven’t been making good decisions in your life. To use this energy positively, you may need to delve into your basic temperament emotionally. What it is that you need to feel good is something you shouldn’t throw by the wayside. Understand your emotional makeup, and come to terms with your emotional needs. This can be an intense time no matter what, because you’re being forced to evaluate parts of your emotional inner workings that you may have shied away from for a reason.

I just recently checked my progressed chart a couple weeks ago and found this. It really resonated with me, so it might resonate with your friend, too.

Another thing I noticed is Uranus transiting her 6th house. You mentioned something about her changing her work hours or something. There's the indication.

She has been going through the Uranus-Pluto square hitting her Sun. Pluto opposite her Sun; Uranus square it. That is nearly over for her, but there are other Pluto transits at work that will continue longer (Pluto contra-parallel her Venus).

More recently Saturn has transited conjunct her natal Uranus. This one can be hard on the nerves, particularly since she is a Cancer/Gemini type. This transit is the one that probably brought things to a head.

She probably will benefit from some nutritional support for the nervous system, B-complex (B-100), minerals, electrolytes; nervine herbs like Valerian (only when not drinking alcohol), Passion flower, Hops, Gotu Kola, etc. She might even benefit from Ashwagandha at night to sleep and build up her strength a bit.

Reinforcing the tendencies of the previous transits is Neptune 9 Sagittarius squaring her Saturn (and in quincunx to natal Mars). This can be a very difficult transit in which one's confidence and physical functioning seem to hit the floor, at least for a time. It can require a complete re-orientation based on lower expectations and less activity. Disorientation, confusion, insecurity, anxiety -- all hard to articulate and possibly coming from at least some negative environmental factors -- physical and/or psychological. Under this transit you cannot deal with things in the abstract. You must deal with what is material, substantive, and verifiable first. Learn the implications of these and totally avoid thought patterns that involve speculation, conjecture, etc, particularly about one's material well being, health, etc.

Time to ask for help. We all need it, but often get used to doing things our own way or 'on our own' (always an illusion since we each have countless others to thank for what we enjoy in life).

Because I do not have the benefit of her specific birth data, that is about as specific as I can get, for now anyway. Progressions cannot be properly calculated without specific birth data.
