Let you understand my situation a little... right now I'm dealing with a pinched sciatic nerve in my spine. It's the most painful thing I have ever gone thru. Right now I can't walk except to the bathroom and that's causing extreme pain. I'm starting to be able to sit up again (this is the reason why I have disappeared from LL) and when I get the nerve to take a bath my mother has to assist me. (talk about taking the little things for granted) So, you can only guess how this whole situation is effecting me...

My doctor is a total jerk... it seems he is having fun being in total control of the situation. I have had an MRI and X-ray and it's for sure I need surgery. I have no health insurance- that's why I am going to him. It's the only clinic that assist people with no insurance. I tried to switch doctor's within the clinic but none of them will take my case b/c of him. Also, He won't refer me to a specialist nor will he give me pain medication to relief some of the pain. He told me he wouldn't treat me with stronger meds until I got the MRI and X-ray... and now he isn't keeping with his word. He has misdiagnosed me up to this point (I even told him what I thought was wrong with me the first time I met up with him in March and he basically told me I'm not a doctor- I have no clue what is going on so I should stay out of it) and now, even tho he has proof what is wrong, he is still going against it.

Anyway...

I'm wondering if this is Saturn issues... right now it's square my AC/DC and Mars...

This issue started the 2nd week of March 2009, which then I could at least walk to the car, bathroom/take showers even tho it stopped most of everything else in my life.

By the 2nd week of May I was walking normal and was up to walking about a mile, while it was looking positive that within a month I would be back to normal...

3rd week of May- it all took a huge turn for the worst... worst than it ever has been, but now I'm starting to be able to sit up and wobble to the bathroom...

I'm wondering if this is Saturn and that once passes into Libra that things will start getting back to normal (I prey to god it does)

Thanks for listening to my rambling... after about 3 1/2 months of being in pain and this situation just controlling my life... I'm ready things to start getting better!

Here is my Natal and Progressed chart with Transits...

Thank You!

Saturn does rule bones though. Spine, bones, teeth, etc, anything having to do with structure.
It looks like it's still passing for you...once it goes into Libra next month it will probably be much better for you

I don't know what places are like where you are, but I am wondering if there's any place around you which offers acupuncture? I've heard it helps a lot and it's actually fairly cheap in comparison to all people pay for regular health stuff. It's worked very much for me, not just as 'alternative' health stuff but to alleviate pain and get to the core of the problem.

EDIT... I meant 2010 not 2009... my brain is playing games with me. It feels like this year isn't really happening since this whole year I have been having medical issues and only spending time with my couch. lol

I hope you feel better soon...I'd not be at all surprised if you start to drastically improve by July/August.

I'm going to jump on MVM's wagon here and just include transiting Uranus into the scenario. Saturn is the spine and probably the arthritis as well, but Uranus is the pinched nerve, the "shock" and "surprise" of when the nerve is pinched, the "electric impulse". Transiting Uranus is also squaring your ASC as well. It will go retrograde again this year. That doesn't necessarily mean that it will aggravate you during the retrograde, but it could.

I'd like to GENTLY suggest that if you know of any holistic healers who can help you in anyway to take advantage. Even if finances are tough, somehow, put it out there that you're in need of healing because that doctor sounds like a sadist. I trust your instincts on that. This guy sounds like an a$$.

There are a lot of people who read this website who never participate, but they are healers and psychics and astrologers, etc. who might be able to assist you. My biggest hope is that, only if you are open to it, a very good Reiki Healer would help to heal you remotely.

Please respond if this is something you'd be interested in, and I'd be happy to investigate with some friends that I have who might do this Pro Bono for you because they need to do service for someone.

I personally wish you wellness.

if you dont have insurance, do you really NEED this doctor's referal since referals are usually only needed for insurance reasons anyways, or am I missing something?

Second, have you ever heard of Louise Hayes work? I don't always buy what she is saying but I have found that sometimes, there is a an element of truth to it, and I use it a ton in my reiki practice and my shamanic healing work. What I noticed, just a thought, was that you feel, literally, like you can't move forward in your life...so the question that Louise Hayes or even Robert Moss would pose is..what is going on in your life that makes you feel like you can't move forward..what specifically..once identified, sometimes the answer on what to do will come next and the pain MIGHT subside. This is just ONE of many healing theories, it's free..and it might help. IDK.

Third, wow...saturn in the 4th huh? Home feeling stagnant?

And yeah, I would also second the thought of holistic healing for sure!

I am seeing a Chiropractor, which this is the first time I have ever been open to. He is amazing. I really don't know much about holistic healing at all. I'm completely open to anything I just don't have any money. I'm living with my parents right now to help with the money situation- I don't even have a checking acct anymore. I literally have no money. Mom is paying for the doctor/chiropractor and that is avg about $300 a month which is putting a lot of stress on my mom.

About Timeline---
I completely see how Uranus plays into this but I hope it's only adding in the "unexpected" ... I looked at the time line with Saturn and the 1st time Saturn hit I had the Jaw/ teeth issue- and once out of orb it was over. When Saturn went into retro and in orb- the spine issue started. Then when it went direct the spine issue relapsed and was a whole lot worst than the first time. This week things are getting drastically better- I'm sitting up, wobbling to the bathroom (thank god!).

About Insurance---
I'm not sure about needing a reference if you don't have instance, but I was hoping he would help me find some doctors that would work with me b/c of the financial issue since his network is a lot bigger than mine. Tomorrow I'm going to be able to walk/ride in the car, so I'm going to visit my chiropractor and I'm going to see if he can point me into a good direction.

About Saturn in 4th---
When Saturn was conj to my IC I moved across the U.S. When Saturn and Uranus squared my Sun last summer I felt so trapped. I traveled the US for a good 2 months (b/c at the time I could do my job from anywhere and I had the money- most of my work was online). Lately I don't feel confined. I'm just a little restless b/c I want to be able to just go to the grocery store or make my own meal. LOL I feel more helpless... I'm pretty independent- I have issues allowing people to help me. It's been my biggest lesson with this... that it's OK to let people help out. LOL

About it having a physiological/emotional connection to this issue---
I wouldn't be surprised if it is connected. Right before all this started I was in a great place. I got a new job as a Assistance Art director (temp job to last a yr), I enlisted into the military as a Navy architect (they were going to bring me on when my main project was suppose to start- Summer 2011), I started a new relationship (first one since 2003) with a person I have been friends with for 12 yrs (he is in the military too). He purposed to me end of Feb but I told him lets take it slow (b/c he just got out of a marriage about a yr ago). Everything was going awesome- it's probably the happiest I have been in a LONG time.

Then mid-march hit... back went out, lost my Art director job b/c I couldn't walk (they were allowed to let me go b/c of the issue since it was before the first 30 days), the Navy cut my contract after they saw all the records from the testing on my back, and my b/f just completely freaked out and disappeared.

Then mid-May hit- he finally got ahold of me, told me he was in another relationship b/c he couldn't take the chance of getting hurt and that he was scared. He wouldn't even talk to me (ignored me for the 2 months before) I finally took a stand for myself for the first time. (pertaining to romantic relationships) and told him that we don't even have a future as friends if he can't have any integrity in his word, that he is going to continue to withhold info, can't communicate in the face of no agreement, and that I definitely don't need a person to leave me in a space of confusion. He won't/hasn't talked to me since then... My back went out the second time the day after this all happened with him. I'm really concerned our friendship is even over. We met in college- very loyal and protective of each other, but never romantic. When he went thru his divorce, he was stattioned in europe at the time, I went over there for a month and helped out and last summer when I was going thru my Saturn/Uranus square to my Sun he came over to the US for 3 weeks and helped me out. So, our friendship has never been superficial. So, that's why I'm shocked where our relationship is right now.

Well, I think I have rambled enough. LOL. I do have issues letting people help me or feeling that I'm not important enough to be listened to. (I'm guessing that is from my Sun conj Neptune in the 6th) I usually put everybody else first, so, this is a big step me coming on here and voicing my issues and asking for help.

We definitely have out fair share of really negative aspects.
like my Pluto opp his Venus- less than a degree,
His Saturn, mars and his ASC square my Venus with my Venus conj to his Uranus.)
Just looking at all his Uranus connections really has me concerned about being in any kind of relationship with him.

But we do have some great aspects...
DW with Sun and Venus,
DW Merc and Sun,
my 7th house ruler conj his ASC/Saturn,
his 7th house ruler conj my Venus,
My MC conj his Sun,
my Juno conj his DSC and Mars,
His Juno conj my Eros,
My Psyche conj his Eros,
and the Moon conj...
I really like how my Sun conj Neptune compliments his Sun in Pisces and how his Moon conj jupiter compliments my Sun in Sag.

But I know that it doesn't matter how great synastry can be if each person can't handle their own natal aspects...

I also had health problems (but earlier) - end of 2008 and start of 2009.. Also a Uranian shock-type of thing.

I am confident that you will get better and that this will pass!
Saturn in Libra will be an improvement.

I reached the conclusion that part of the problem - was Pluto transiting through my 7th (and conjunct Mars) -- Because Pluto is in Capricorn (ruling bones) and the ruler of Capricorn is Saturn in Virgo (sign of health) - challenged by Uranus...

My biggest problem happened on the eve of the second exact Saturn-Uranus opposition in 2009, when Pluto had already gone into Capricorn and Saturn was retrograde.

I have a feeling it is not the AC-DC or Mars square.. Because for me.. this happens when Saturn enters Libra (square my AC-DC and Mars) -- but my problem started around the same time as *yours* started.

In any case - I agree to the people who mentioned alternative medicine. I think acupuncture would be the best thing in your case. At least give it a try. I have a friend who had a horrible back pain - she said she could barely move and think and acupuncture worked wonders for her. She has Virgo Mars, so Saturn transited over her Mars and the same opposition to Uranus must've affected her.
Chiropractors on the other hand, don't seem all that good - I usually hear negative stories..

I have never tried what Geocosmic suggested nor do I know anyone who has - but it sounds good and that's worth trying also!

I wouldn't be surprised if your Rising is Gemini. Your thought process seems to be like mine (just going off your posts and how you present info... dunoo. lol) Where is your Gemini located and aspects?

When Pluto was conj my DSC/Mars I didn't have any physical health issues going on. (also during this time my Prog Merc was conj to Transit Pluto... it still is. I feel like i'm Majoring in Pluto right now. LOL. Anyway, my issue during this time was all mental. (Sorry if I give out too much info after this point....lol) For two years when Pluto was conj those points I didn't have sex, drink, drugs (even like Alieve/Advil)... like my vices stopped. I had no interest in being in relationships period unless they were "deep"/a true connection. (but my Progressed Sun just entered my 8th house and also during this time my Prog Sun was square my Natal Pluto). I was not social at all and I was very depressed... sometimes I just wanted to disappear. Mars rules my 11th so I don't know if that played into it.

I have no issue trying acupuncture but don't I need to be able to lay completely down for that? I can't lay straight at all. My Chiropractor is awesome... he is the only one that has really truly helped. He can just push on my spine with his fingers for about 10 mins and it relieves a lot of the pain for about 3-4 days. So, I'm not ready to give him up. LOL

I'm not planning on having the surgery with said doctor (the jerk) he isn't a surgeon (thank god). I completely agree there would be a possibility of making things worst if I left this all in the hands of above doctor. LOL

I have a couple questions for you Dyna...

How is your Mars in the 7th conj your DSC working for you in relationships? I'm 31 and still not married- never been close... except for what I mentioned above with my friend purposing to me in Feb...

I don't know if you read my last LONG post but I think a part of my issue with the pain is emotional from the situation with my ex. Could you read my last post and look at our charts and let me know why he would of done the things he did please? I have been beating myself up like crazy!

Thanks!

Anyway, if anybody could look at the synastry chart of mine that is above and read what I wrote... I would great appreciate it. I would really like to know why he is reacting to the situation the way he is.

posted June 29, 2010 07:26 PM         

I'm having a look at your synastry now.

posted June 29, 2010 08:48 PM         

It's also great that his Jupiter is there, because as a Sag you appreciate a dose of jovial Jupiter.

Really - I do like your synastry overall.. I think problems could come from your mutable energy - where you could both be in *and* out at the same time, not entirely sure of where you want to take it. I see this in particular with Pisces men in relationships, but you have Sun conjunct Neptune in a mutable sign, so you could be undecided as well. Maybe there is too much confusion overall.. too much Neptunian energy.

Also, both of your Venuses are in aspect to transpersonal planets. Venus-Uranus can be friendly but it can be extremely erratic.. the kind of love that is completely unpredictable. Sometimes you are just shocked by developments in his life or simply his overall personality and the way he thinks. He might see you as a bit selfish or self-centered (Venusian) and become critical at times - but there is definitely a strong attraction there.. and a friendship bond. Traditionally in mythology, Uranus was Venus' father.. Maybe that archetype plays out as well. He could be fatherly towards you in a caring manner or in a critical manner.

I have Mars-Neptune conjunct DC. Neptune is there as well. My longest relationship (a bit over 2 years) was with a Libra guy who had AC on my DC and Mars-Neptune.
He is actually the same guy I just mentioned. He also has Capricorn Moon conjunct mine. For some reason it really drifted for me.. I didn't feel anything anymore. He did want something more serious but I was being increasingly cold and eventually he moved on.
I'm 24 - I haven't been married and I'm not all that into it. But that could be just my age. I'm happy to be single.
