My love life has always been pathetic. I'm hoping that it gets better as I get older, like they say Saturn aspects do.

the first time this transit came into affect i lost one of my best friends the whole situation was a messed up one. since then my friends have been lacking, i do find myself isolated and alone most of the time which stinks.

Shortly after that I was having my Saturn-Return. Venus is on 6 Cappy and Saturn on 17 Cancer.

Exhausting time. Much much work.
First time that I moved out from home, was going through my university-exam, just to start the last part of my education (teacher in training) in an unknown city where I didn`t know anyone.

First time on my own two feet ever, first time having to organise a household, work, learning, paying bills etc. (Saturn is in 8th house).

As I said, much work, BUT even though it was difficult to adjust, I also was impressed how well I handled it after all. I always thought of myself as having low energy levels and not being very efficient when it came to every day matters.

This time showed me that I can be very efficient, if I really need to.
(On top of that progressed ASC was changing into Capricorn during that time).

Interestingly I was even having some sort of social life; it was a bit of necessary, as we were a group of people who had been "exiled" to that village at the end of Germany, partly very far from home. So we ended up being "temporary circle of friends".
Was having a bit of a flirtative friendship with one of the guys. Interestingly a Capricorn with his Sun on 7 Capricorn, conjunct my Venus.

All in all it was an exhausting workintense period, but I`ve learned such a lot about myself, about what I am actually able to do.

Tr Saturn to Venus has never been that much of a problem to me before either; not even the square I have been through recently.
Tr Saturn was conjunct MC and Pluto and squaring my Venus in last autumn.

I had been moving and so had to wade through all my stuff, separating from some unneeded things.
On top of that I was immersed in work, felt like working day and night. But the important thing is I managed. I did all that was demanded of me to do.

At the end of the period my boss actually came to me and told me that he admired me for taking on so much without complaining once and apologized for loading all that work onto my shoulders.
The energy and focus I put into my work helped my reputation quite a bit. Not that it was bad before, but I`ve been "praised" by several people in leading positions for the reliable, well organised work I`ve done.
Now they think of me as organised (which honestly is a misconception, I am NOT).

Tr Saturn to Venus always brings a lot of work into my life, and it is defintely a "no ******** ", "no evasion", "no playtime" time; but it helps me focus onto the important things and block out everything that is not necessary at the moment.

The Saturn transits I can not deal with well are the challening ones to
Sun, Moon, ASC, NN and Neptune.
(Sun, ASC, NN and Neptune are in Sagittarius and Moon is in Aquarius).

EDIT:
I must admit though, that for the most time I find Saturn-transits more exhausting than Pluto-ones.
For some reason Saturn is more difficult for me.
And even if I can see the progress I have made in Saturnian themes, I am glad it is moving away now. Will oppose my Chiron and square my Saturn on 17 degree. But then it will only have harmonious aspects to Moon and Sun, until it reaches 17 Scorpio. That is going to be a bummer though (squares my Moon, and Saturn in challenging aspect to Moon makes me always so depressed).

And after that on its way through Sagittarius it will conjunct my Stellium, so I guess, I am just allowed a short breathing time, before it is going back to school and learn my Saturn-lessons. *sighs*

Can`t I have some more Pluto instead?

yes, probably it`s easier if the energy is already familiar from the natal (like my Cappy-Venus makes me a bit more in tune with Venus-Saturn than for example a Leo Venus).

Also, I remember when Tr Uranus was conjunct my Venus (and Tr Jupiter opposite my Venus) - at the same time Tr Pluto was squaring my Moon, and still it was such a fun time, exciting, carefree (I think I never felt that free before or afterwards), it was almost as if the air was sparkling, and of course I was heavily crushing on someone as well.

Funnily the feeling now is similiar, though not just as strong (maybe because I am older), and Tr Uranus now is squaring my Venus. (with Tr Pluto conjunct it).

Anyways, I went through the square (to my Venus) almost 3 years ago and had a similar experience to you. Things were FINALLY looking up between me and the co-worker I was crushing on, and even the Tarot seemed to hint at a significant love affair! But then, it all came crashing down in one bad night at work. To make a long story short, we became awkward acquaintances overnight. And this coincided with the time that the transit became EXACT.

I was broody and resentful over it, and no...there were no fruits when Saturn finally left my Venus the hell alone. But maybe that situation was for the best? It took off the rose-colored glasses I was looking at him with (Thank God)...and my Unaspected Venus tends to do that alot at the prospect of genuine affection, no matter how morbid the circumstances. =___=

It actually wasn't too bad. Kind of fun for me lol. I think it's because I'm used to the energy as I have Saturn/Uranus square Venus natally. I actually started dating my current boyfriend during this transit (although I think I may have lost the "love of my life" or whatever during this... WHATEVER @ HIM TBH).

Financial matters might be stressful for the time being, which forces you into a position of conservation and moderation.

You may feel sad or lonely and cut off from others. You are sensitive to slights, and your friends and loved ones may seem to be cold, indifferent or unfaithful to you. You will need self- restraint at this time to avoid one-sided relationships.

I know one lady with it that is so typical, over 50, doesn't realize she puts off all of her potential romances with her brutish unsexy ways, always thinks other people want her around but also always picks up on slights from others and imagines they out of proportion to what they are, so insecure, desperate for a man, hasn't had sex in like 15 yrs, some people can go without but others it drives them up the wall and makes em go a bit bonkers, that's her. Scary sight, all she needs to do is slow down but it is just not in the cards.

*EDIT* Ceridiwen, I also feel the same way about Saturn transits vs. Pluto ones. And saturn is suppose to be my chart ruler...LOL. Mainly because I feel like I learn from the Pluto transits, where as Saturn just seems to like being a liferuiner for the sake of it.

then not long after, sure enough, the saying things behind my back started and in turn i started dishing it back to them and it got to the point where my bedroom window was busted with a baseball somewhere around 11 o'clock at night.

all of them were in on it.

i lost a lot of weight then, too.. i got into amazing shape for that time of my life and the solid saturn results stuck.

i resumed life being a totally new person but yes, i was depressed and at the time, i was very alone.

there were few people whom i'd talk to and it'd be on the phone and one of them moved away, yet we manage to seldom keep in touch but not really because her boyfriend would not like her talking to me and she abided by his wish.. another one i found out later to be doing the same talking that hurt me dearly because i really did not see it coming (the person had mercury in my twelfth).

i was not too much allowed to get away with anything, i was running low on energy and yet managed to do a lot but sometimes didn't even want to get out of bed to do anything yet still, i did so.

i was frequently late to everything,
i was literally at home by myself,
no family,
nothing.

it got me into self-restrictive induced behaviour i guess as a means of controlling what was going on around me and it went on for a while til it eventually started taking it's toll on me some two years later.

it wasn't that i felt unattractive, i was actually polishing up on it; was just alone.. a lot.. the friends i had were gone, the casual relationships i had no longer worked for me, but i did manage to produce amazing work in terms of the realms dealing with the arts.

prior to that, i was literally almost excluded from everything and was kind of 'not allowed' anywhere..

felt as if i was being singled out by superiors and branded with some kind of rejective mark.

it hurt, yes.

some of the people i considered comrades were not at all sticking up for me or appeared to be bothered by the fact of what was going on and my exclusion from almost everything.

after that phase, (i was in high school at the time) i realized there was very little for me to be sticking around for and i withdrew myself and went to charter school to graduate on my own (finished a semester and a half in just one week); didn't walk with my class, instead, received my diploma in the mail half way across the country because i moved from the rural place i was living in to the big city.

it was a refreshing change and all of what seemed to had bothered me before and that crumbled apart seemed like was worth it because otherwise, i would've stayed behind for it.

as far as the infatuation, nothing ever happened with that person but there was a bit of a bond and they were moved way across the world because they were physically being sought after; threatened.

we kept in touch over the phone and once they returned, i was a new person but found that the person i had gotten to know while we were on the phone, was completely gone since their 'rehabilitation' and that that was that.

when they left i was extremely hurt.

i would cry and cry and cry and it felt as if something had be taken away from me before i even had a chance to hold it for that long.

i think that was probably my first stupid young 'love' experience.

i look back on it fondly but without it, i would've never been who i am today and i would've never gotten to the place where i am or look the way that i do because venus does indeed rule what we find attractive and value and it is my chart ruler.

What? Unfortunately I don't like revealing every little detail of my life over the internet. If that's not to your liking, that's not my problem.

In addition, Saturn in transit is just starting to oppose my natal Mars and will conjunct my Moon and eventually natal Venus when it hits 18 Scorpio so I will have conj and opposition going at same time! Progressed moon is also squaring prog & natal Saturn w/ progressed Pluto just started transiting my 11th house also.

I cannot remember feeling so alone in my life. All my good friends moved away or are busy or we've fallen out. (I went thru quite a wild phase before this serious stuff hit.) It has been so hard to meet good people w/out something going wrong, getting in the way...so depressing! I really do think it is these transits. (I do not have Venus/Saturn contacts natally, only Venus conjunct Moon w/ no bad aspects there so this feels pretty harsh & my money situation has been really tight also (now Saturn is just now transiting my 2nd house where I have moon & Venus natally.)

One interesting this I've noticed in that all the guys I've come across since Venus started opposing my Saturn is that they all have Venus conj, oppositions or squares to my Saturn or vice/versa or and that all of these men have Venus/Saturn aspects in their own natal charts as well.
I really do think whatever your chart has progressed to is the energy you begin to attract. A Vedic astrologer had told me I had been undergoing very long cycles of Saturn of one kind or another and there was a "love block" situation until year 42 or so...I can't remember the basis for this but sure enough that is exactly when progressed Venus begins to separate from natal/prog Saturn, My sun progresses to conjunct natal venus and a couple other things which seems to finally indicate MUCH smoother sailing.

Biz-wise, I have done pretty well. Especially in Real Estate arena. Progressed Venus is opp Saturn but conj my North Node. (That Saturn/Cappy thing I guess) but it is slow & steady w/ a lot of responsibility/hard work.
