I never made anyone aware of it either. Those experiences were very traumatic, affected me in lot of ways. Release it if you can.

I recently came across an article that is about astrology of tragic, horrific, unthinkable abuse and ultimate murder cases of these poor innocent little children

I cried while reading this article. I have always wondered why my parents abused me and not my sister. Not that I wish they would have abused her, no, just curious because her and I are very much alike. We were both quiet, thoughtful, obedient, every parents' dream kids. Being young, I didn't think much about the way they treated us, I thought perhaps its because I was older and they expected a lot more from me. Now, I realize how unfair it was, and I do get bitter about it from time to time, yet after reading that, I now know how lucky I truly was. It was bad, but noting even close to what some children go through My God, how heartbreaking Those heartless, soulless, people , what a waste of creativity they are.

I have Pluto in the 4th square Mars in the 7th 2*.

My sister has Pluto in the 5th trine Mars in 9th 4*.

One more thing I read in that article was that even during the transit of Mars negative aspect to Pluto, you have to beware of attracting violence!!

For those of you who have this aspect in their natal, have you endured abuse? How has this aspect played out in your life in general? [/QUOTE

I wonder if you have recurring Mars/Saturn/Uranus/Neptune/ Pluto cross aspects with your parents.

Their Saturn sitting on top of your Asc/Sun/MC can have them treat you like an adult and expect a lot from you.

Saturn sitting on top of Moon/Venus/Mars can block expressions of love or affection towards you.

Pluto/Neptune/Uranus/Mars contacts with your Moon can create an antagonistic or uncomfortable atmosphere at home; Maybe they are too severe in their punishment of you (Pluto)? Too erratic(Uranus)? Too quick to get physical(Mars)? Or they just act like they couldn't care less for you (Neptune).

My father and I have the most terrible relationship-in fact- it is nonexistent. I always used to wonder why that is and astrology managed to help me find some answers.

His Saturn forms a conjunction to my Sun. He treated me much like an adult when I was a child. He instilled a lot of fear in me.

His Uranus squares my Saturn. He kept on changing and shifting(Uranus) my reality(Saturn). He was often so moody and unpredictable that I didn't know how to approach him.

His Uranus squares my Venus. I didn't enjoy(Venus) him being around as he was so inconsistent and hard to predict(Uranus).

One minute , in public,he'd want us to behave like the father-son combination. But in private, we were faaaar from that.

Sometimes I'd feel like he is more like a step father than a real father and , at some point, he even questioned that I was his child????(Uranus detachment).

Even now we don't talk much as I have nothing to say to him and don't enjoy him being around.

So look at the cross aspects between you and the abusive parent. I don't know what it is, but I believe there is a "contract" we sign with parents before we are born.

This parent(or in some cases both) can have such a terrible planetary configuration with us that all we can do is watch the relationship between us and them unfold with painful anticipation.

She's not as close to our mum as I am though, but that's because she takes everything in her stride and doesn't worry about stuff, so she never seems to open up as much I do at home. She's Libra rising with pluto in 3rd. Extremely easy going and not bothered by anything. I mean, that's what it seems like. She's much better at standing up for herself than I am too, so maybe that's how the bQ works?
