For example... when Transit crosses over a natal planet the first time the situation starts or you become aware. Then the transit planet turns retro and crosses that planet again (what's suppose to happen during this stage.) Then the transit planet goes direct and passes (sometimes for the final time) over the natal planet again (and something happens)...

Just trying to figure out what I'm suppose to be learning/experience with each pass of said transit planet...

A lot of this depends on the planet
Pluto seems to take forever and
Conjunctions to the Ascendant affect the part of you that others see.

Have you checked your Progressions?
P. Moon will "time" an event so you can use that to double check
Transits and Progressions work side by side

The thing to remember about Progression are they have to be within a degree and watch the angles, they are very important.

I'm a newbie... only been studying for a couple years.

I noticed this pattern when Pluto was conj my DSC/Mars... and it was the same situation kept happening with the same guy.

Now, it's Uranus' turn. It's square my DSC/Mars. It's with a different guy, different situation than with Pluto. But. I don't know what I'm suppose to be learning (maybe I'm too close to the situation)

So, I'm trying to figure out what the lesson I was suppose to learn with Uranus. I know the one with Pluto was to "let go" but I didn't realize this until after the 3rd pass. But I guess it's better later than never.

Maira, the "test" Saturn gives you during your Saturn Return *feels* like it is bearing down on you and trying to show you how much life can feel awful and restricted---but what it's REALLY doing is demanding that you give up everything that is not the purest, most real lifepath for you.

So, for example, let's say:

X is 29, in a career in office administration that bores her, dating someone who kind of bores her. She has a stressful relationship with her mother and sisters, and talking to them erodes her confidence.

Changes X will probably make during the Saturn Return, which will allow her to breath: She will change jobs, switching from a job she hates to a job that's okay; she will stop dating that guy and spend a bit of time single, which will help her know herself better.

Changes Saturn WANTS X to make, so she'll pass the test: Even though she has NO backup plan, she quits office administration FOREVER. Even though she's too old, she works to become a famous dancer...or, even though she has no money or connections or foreign language expertise, she moves to rural Africa and starts an organization to teach the villagers to read...or, even though she didn't graduate high school, she gets her GED and over years of hard work, makes it to Princeton and becomes a famous scholar...OR, she runs off to Paris and becomes a famous artist. She not only stops dating that guy, she changes her entire type, falling in love with a thrilling adventurer. She NEVER listens to her mother and sisters again, just sends them a card for the holidays.

Most people at 29-31 aren't ready yet to make the radical changes that will let them realize their dreams...so they have to wait for Round Two in their 50s. Saturn actually wants you to NEVER settle for the mediocre and NEVER compromise your truest self. The lesson is that life is not a dress rehearsal.

When you're still making compromises: "I can't do that because I don't have the skills/I'm not beautiful or talented enough/I don't know anyone there/That would disappoint my family..." then Saturn keeps punishing you. He says, "Even if you try to settle for mediocrity, everything can STILL be taken away from you!!! See? So you might as well take all those risks, and make your life thrilling and enormous!!"
