Transiting Saturn is conjunct my natal Venus/Uranus conjunction and is squaring my moon exactly now. If anyone understands how these energies could manifest in a general sense, will you please tell me?
Saturn is transiting my 9th house (Venus/Uranus in Libra), and the moon is in my 1st conjunct my AC (both in Cap) if that helps. Thank you.

This is what I have found in my search at cafe astrology on tsaturn square natal moon:

"When Saturn transits square or opposition the Moon, we may be feeling overlooked, left out, on our own, and even uncared for. This transit sometimes occurs when changes on the domestic front leave us feeling "alone in this world", such as when we move out on our own, are separated from family or other loved ones, and so forth. Domestic problems may be part of the picture, often connected to women and sometimes the mother. Everyday coping skills can be compromised at this time--chores and routines seem to be harder to do or more burdensome than usual. It can be hard for us to take risks at this time, and we are likely to focus on the negatives in our lives. Fears and insecurities of all kinds are magnified during this period--fear of rejection, fear of what the future might bring, fear that we won't be able to handle our lives masterfully, and so forth. Although we may long for emotional support from others, we don't receive it well if it is forthcoming. We may be given to sulking, feeling sorry for ourselves, dredging up the past, and focusing on what we haven't done or can't do. We may be feeling awkward and self-conscious, and consequently less sociable as spontaneity is lacking for us now. It is important to remember that this is very much our perception at this time, and it can be managed if we are aware of the general meaning of Saturn's influences. It is a time when we are called upon to take a realistic look at our personal and emotional lives. This is a period when progress on the domestic front is slow, delayed, or denied. Our personal popularity is weakened temporarily, and business may also be affected. The best way of handling this energy is to recognize that it's a time to slow down and re-evaluate our personal lives, and that pushing ourselves to do too much will be frustrating and possibly costly. We need more rest than usual, and we need to learn to rely on ourselves for the time being. This is a time when we are called upon to examine our priorities and make necessary changes to our daily routines in order to improve our lives. "

When Saturn transits conjunct Venus:

What has carried you to date in the world of your social and romantic relationships may no longer feel satisfying or worthwhile for you during this transit. It's time to assess your relationship needs, attitudes, and capabilities. You may be withdrawing yourself emotionally as you become more serious, critical, and concerned about a significant relationship in your life. You may begin to see serious flaws, and any superficial interactions may begin to bother you. You might temporarily have a hard time "going through the motions". Fears that you might get hurt could be self-fulfilling prophecies if you are not careful now. While you should definitely take some time to come to terms with what you are now seeing, you should also understand that in the initial stages of this transit your thinking is skewed towards the negative. You are losing the rose-colored glasses and eventually you will be able to see your relationships in a most realistic light--you will see them for exactly what they are. However, the first stage of this process is rather severe and unforgiving, so take your time before making any major decisions.

Differences in values between you and a partner may be glaring now. How each of you approaches the relationship in terms of commitment, loyalty, and pleasure are likely to be issues on the table. As well, you are now especially concerned with how a partner makes you feel attractive and wanted. The quality of your relationships is most important to you now.

Saturn has a way of identifying weak links or weak foundations and applying pressure on them. Thus, relationship tests may occur now. It's time to work to improve and strengthen these weaknesses. Letting go of things that truly do not work for you anymore may be necessary, but there is also a strong probability that an existing partnership can be redefined and strengthened.

This can also be a time when you begin to question your ability to attract others or what you want from life. Questions of beauty, attractiveness, social charm and grace, and financial power can be themes now. You may no longer be comfortable with the ways you have employed charm or attractiveness in the past. You may become very self-critical in these areas. You no longer see yourself for what you want to see. This can all take place in your inner world, but for many, there is an external trigger in the form of an event or circumstance that changes your perception of things. Eventually, you will come to a point where you are more confident of how you go about attracting love, money, favors, and pleasure into your life, and this comes from arriving at truths and realities.

It's a strong period for reassessing your spending habits. Financial stresses may be part of the picture now, leading to a more conservative, mature, and realistic approach to handling your finances.

Well I just recently had TSaturn squaring my natal venus and is now in a seperating opposition from my mars. So it's been interesting. And very painful.

painful... hmmm... I may have had that during the time Saturn was opposing my mars too. It is now opposite my Chiron so I'm hoping for growth and healing of wounds even if painful...

You can post the chart, I'll look at it.
It has a lot to do with rulerships and natal placements.

MM…do you remember the 2009 eclipse at 13° Aqu conjunct your natal Mars Node conjunction?

Next week there will be a new moon conjunct your mars, and transit mars will be conjunct too so this also makes it a mars return for you.

Transit Mars on eclipse degrees can be interesting to pay attention to.

Hi Winter Thanks for your thoughts. What you are saying sounds very interesting. I do not remember any transits from 2009 since I am just learning to pay attention to transits fully. Do you happen to remember what month that took place?

What would a Mars return, a new moon and eclipse conjunct my Mars and NN mean? What would the flavor be, at least, and I can try to apply it to my current situation...

I both hate and love saturn. When saturn in transit contact my moon i very often catch cold. When Saturn was in begin of libra and in square to my N venus conj N.N conj mars I feel that everything stop. Saturns contact feels like everything going in slowmotion but in the end I see I always get of bad habits. Saturn always help me to go forward in the life on a better way. Saturn help me to leave people who not are good to me. Saturn is strong in my Natal chart and I also see it works out clearly in transit.

Hi Popcorn, I think I would welcome things going in slow motion for a while. Then I could get some things done and catch up to life. I also would welcome leaving some bad habits behind! My horoscopes have been mentioning things relating to relationships since Saturn is in Libra and my sun and Venus are in Libra. Since it squares my moon it has me wondering what it might all mean.

MM,
the eclipse (lunar) on your Mars and Node was 5 August 2009.
Also the most recent eclipse this year on 4 Jan touched your ascendant.

There are lots of different interpretations on how long the effect of eclipses last, some say 6 months either side, some say however long the eclipse is in minutes is how many months the effects last for. I’m on the fence till it can be proved which means I’ll perpetually be on the fence, however, I do sit up and take notice when transit Mars comes along and activates the degree as it often triggers progressions and solar arcs.

Mars and the Asc are in play here so you may be planning on changing the way you present yourself whether that be physical changes or maybe changes in the way you communicate. I only mention the latter as Mars rules your house of communications along with short distance travel so please take extra care whilst on the roads as well.

Mars returns are a mystery to me, never paid much attention to them but I did notice that in your chart it was returning to its natal position and because it was tied into the eclipse it might be worth mentioning. It could mean re-evaluating any plans/goals that have not eventuated in the past 2-3 years. Time to refocus on them or toss them away and aim for something new.

As a side note your Progressed Moon is coming up to conjunct your DC so relationship issues may be coming to the forefront for you now. Also worth mentioning your SA Pluto = MC. This is most significant and pretty much assures a complete transformation of your status.

Thank you for the exceptional reply, winter. I don't know what solar arcs are so I will be doing a Google search in a minute here. I know what a progressed chart is, so I may know what a progression is..?
Progressed moon conjunct DC, that sounds interesting, I will look that up too. Thank you. What does "SA" Pluto mean? Solar Arc? Thank you for taking a look and sharing your thoughts. Love and Light to you, LL friend.

Solar Arc
http://alabe.com/solararc.html

"Solar arc direction is one of the oldest predictive techniques in astrology. Solar arc is defined as the difference between the position of the progressed Sun and natal Sun on any particular day. This arc is then added to every planet and point in the chart. The arc is approximately equivalent to the individual's age. However, note that a person born in the summer will have a solar arc that is somewhat less than their age and, conversely, a winter-born individual's solar arc will be greater than their age. When a Solar arc directed planet makes an aspect, especially a hard aspect, to a natal planet, some event or transition is likely to occur. This is more so the case when there is a transit activating the point as well. "

bumpity bump bump

So Jupiter is opposite my Sun now and I've LOST MY PURSE. It had about $40 in it, my cards and license, and then all of my favorite make-ups and my brand new perfume from the fabulous Essentual Alchemy at the top of this page. It also had my mp3 player and MY EXTRA SET OF CAR KEYS. I canceled my debit card and have to pay $15 for a new one and $5 for my library card but countless hours replacing everything still to come.

Holy moly.

Does this mean Jupiter will soon return my purse on the arm of some fabulous man?? Come on, surely SOMETHING bountiful and fabulous must come of this! I cried earlier, but I am trying to remain positive. Still hoping the purse will materialize somewhere I haven't looked yet but I think I dropped it when getting groceries out of the trunk and someone picked it up. Someone who now has my extra set of car keys?? Arrrgll. It has been suggested that the LOSEYOURPURSE asteroid is in action. What do you think?

Hi Mel,
I usually check Transits with Progressions
since the Transit will tell you what kind of energy you are currently dealing with and the Progression will tell you the event.

I see a lot of people here using Venus strictly for love and romance answers which is not always what the Transit is showing.

Venus has everything to do with money.
Saturn has passed over your Venus/Uranus conjunction but will go back and do it again.
What I see is some kind of "legal" (9th) issue. Not necessarily a lawsuit but have you had any tickets, insurance, or registration, that may have lapsed? anything like that?
Are you current on your expenditures?
You know what Uranus is, out of the blue and in from left field.

Out Babe

you know..I don't know if this means anything to you. but I noticed that your transiting moon is also opp you NN meaning it is sitting in on the SN. And with that saturn sitting on venus/uranus opp chiron..I have a feeling that saturn is doing a huge major overhall on what you find to have value and again realizing what you want and what you don't want, and he will hold yu hostage until you figure it out,until it is in your mind like no tomorrow. what is going on hon? it sounds like a personal-relationship and a come to jesus moment about your philosphies about life and love. I could be wrong. Still working this.

Hmmm... Interesting info Lala. Usually just transits tell me enough to get me by, but I might try combining the progressions and transits more often.

I would think it would be the opposite though- transits telling you the event and progressions telling you the kind of energy that is going to be dealt with. Transits to me are usually more of what's currently going on in the outside world whereas the progressions are how you are currently going to RESPOND to what's going on in the outside world based on your experiences up to this point.

I'll try it your way though...
