And possibly my pendant necklace too. Is it transiting pluto conjuncting my IC that's doing this? I thought it'd be a while before I'd have Pluto there, but I read the chart wrong. Pluto's there NOW.

I haven't been this strapped since I was a kid out of college. The difference now is that both my parents are dead and just a couple of weeks ago my long time bf of 5 years dumped me, so I have zero support group now. My bf was the only constant person I had after my folks died. I paid my own way, but I also knew that if I ever needed financial help or backup he'd be there for me. I was not in love with him & was only with him for that long because I needed someone semi-permanent in my life. Someone who I felt safe with. I'm sure he felt the same way about me.

So here I am. I have my own small business that gets me by. Business has been HORRIBLE this past couple of months and since I took 4 months off right before this- (before I realized how bad business would get or that I'd lose my best friend/bf) I went through my savings during those 4 months. I've tried everything I could to raise some money and nothing's worked. Rent is due and I don't have it. Bills- and I'm also heartbroken about my ex. We many not have been in love, but still 5 years is hard to let go of. And I can't even allow myself the time I need to rightfully greive the end of our relationship because I need money YESTERDAY and finally it comes down to me selling jewelry gifts given to me that I'd rather not let go of. Is this pluto IC work? If it is the next 14 years are not going to be fun.

Not exactly..sounds like Saturn may be doing a number on you..but Pluto h4 could be a contributing factor, just not the main factor since Saturn rules poverty..but then again the transiting Pluto is in Capricorn...Can you post the chart that has natal, transits & progressed? And is it possible to move in with a friend in the meantime?

Oops, I haven't exactly got the hang of posting images on here just yet. here it is.

Astro.com only seems to put in the transits of the slow moving planets when you click on showing BOTH progressions & transits. Progressions are in green & Transits in Red.

To answer your question: I have no friends to stay with. He was my only friend in this country as I travel often and all my friends are travelers that live overseas. I also have NO family left. So when I said he was the only constant person in my life I meant it. Anyway- I haven't been evicted. I just need to come up with the Rent and selling my prized jewelry should do it.

Hi Laura,
Send me an email, I have some material which will help. Also describe your small business. There has to be perfect alignment with what you truly love for your small business to click. I will also create affirmations for you based on Florence Schinn's "Game of Life, and how to play it." Those affirmations work like magic when your work and heart are aligned.

Email ID is in the signature.
There are no charges for abundance counseling, ignore the rates page and scroll down to contact info.

Astrologically, the issue was a case of Pluto squaring Ascendant at the same time that Saturn was hitting Natal Pluto. The aspect has been satisfied as you are selling jewelery that beautified your face [represented by Ascendant]. Saturn in first house has also been satisfied.

By taking positive actions you can quickly break the cycle. The Hero's journey begins when he or she is alone. You have possibly neglected:
1. Mars opp Galactic Center
2. Jupiter trine Neptune
3. Neptune conjunct Moon in 3rd
4. Sun and Venus in 11th

Friends and Networks should have been your wealth, and you have none. The first steps in improvement involve increasing the friends circle. You have Libra Rising and Sun+Venus in Leo i.e you cannot look ugly even if you tried. So get on FB.

Why don't you get a food stamp EBT card? That sort of thing is kinda necessary in times like this. Take back a tiny bit from the government which is otherwise raping you in every conceivable way besides sexually.. and even, sometimes, that.

i think it's the transit Saturn on your 1st house Pluto? you know i posted about my partner, he's just had a loooong Saturn transit over his Stellium house. he is still eating flour mixed with water and stuff like that...

i hope your situation gets better. i'm in a similar situation too and really know how scary it is to not have money and the feeling of security. only psychological support, but i'm glad at least i have my partner.

I must admit the first thing that comes at you when you look at that chart is the transiting Saturn conjoining natal Pluto in 1st.

I'm sorry for what's happening, LauraSmith. Good news is that you have Tr. Jupiter conjunct Uranus in the 6th which has the effect of prosperity through foreign sources, especially with writing, communication, the internet etc. I think you mentioned that most of your friends are outside of the country. Can they help you in any way? You also have Tr. Sun conjunct Venus in the 12th, which also means help from hidden or divine sources. I don't know if you're spiritual or not, but you definitely should try meditation and connect with spirit guides or angels or even your past ancestors! They may give you some guidance.

Something is telling me that you have some "hidden knowledge" or wisdom that you may not know you have and perhaps this can give you the financial prosperity you need. The key is to find out what it is.

Yea I agree with the others, transiting Saturn conj natal Pluto, Pluto being ruler of 2nd, Pluto conj Saturn can mean limited resources, it also confers a time of strong will if you refuse to let yourself be beat down by circumstances. It's an either/or transit, depending on your choice, but unfortunately it often feels as if you're left with few options, so it's a challenge to be wise and resourceful.

Yeah, that's because the positions for the slower planets don't move far at all from their natal placements in progression. And then the Sun/Moon etc transits move too fast and aren't thought to have a large impact on major events, but there are some exceptions.

Laura Smith,

hope you will remain strong during this time. I am not looking at your chart but i have been similar situation. Just dont stop having faith that if you come through it, no matter if you have to work in any thing that you may think is not the right one...but keep thinking that this is only temporal. it wont last. having this in mind will help to keep going even when you feel you cant have more...

i agree with the sugestion of connecting with your hidden forces. sometimes just to let go of whatever we are holding (status, shame about friends finding out about our situation, etc) helps to get through it and find the right solution.

all my best

An update:

Sorry, I haven't gotten back to anyone until now, but I woke up this morning to find that Con-Ed actually cut off my electricity. So there's no electricity in my apartment and I'm assuming also no gas. This was so depressing I actually stood there this morning laughing. Did things ever turn out so bad you actually found it funny?

I knew I was late with the electric bill, (as with all my bills) but I thought you had to be several months late for them to cut your electricity off. I thought I was only a month or 6 weeks late. Anyway- they cut it off. So in desperation I went to my ex boyfriend which was a VERY awkward situation, but I didn't know what else to do. Selling the Jewelry I had would only pay most of my rent, but wouldn't handle the overdue bills. I crossed my fingers hoping he'd help me. Even though we broke up on good terms, he made it clear he didn't want me in his life anymore because he needed to move on and I understand because we really weren't each other's ideal partner even though we cared for one another. He actually gave me money (I offered to pay him back and he refused insisting it was a gift) Very embarressing situation and I feel really bad about going to him when it's obvious he wants to move on. But without electricity I couldn't even do business at home in case a customer ordered anything, so I just had to cross my fingers and hope he'd come through for me. He certainly didn't have to, me being his ex and all. He has this thing about being dutyful, so I get the feeling he's really annoyed, but feels it's his duty or something.

This situation blows my mind. I've had this business for about 5 years now... and in all that time- not even during the great recession of 2008 where everyone I knew got hit badly- not even then did I ever have such poor profits. And during the recession I didn't even try and I still had customers. This past month and a half I've been actually trying and still nothing. Saturn Sucks!!! But boy do I realize now how important family and friends are. Seeing as how I don't have any of either.

If ur 2nd H saturn ia already working,wait for retro period(24th january i think) it will cool off a bit,so u could think straight.
Ur ex is really good person,many people would turn their backs.
Where r u from? I understood that u came in usa?
