I would call it, Great amount of retrospection.

Retro lack the qualities of the planet in question or the energy is redirected inward(Internal dialogue), sort of like Saturn square but without the depression.

It makes you unique... because you process things in a different way.

I have Jupiter Rx and I don't take anybody's wisdom as it is - I create my own.

That's a great aspect with Jupiter and your Sun. I have the conjunct with my Sun and Moon. Jupiter/Sun is very apparent imo. I have too Moon square Mars, and it's actually not as bad as people make it out to be. Maybe because I also have Mars sqaure my Sun and Mercury, I've grown very accustomed to the energy. Moon/Neptune is also a good, you just have to be careful with the deceptions that Neptune can arouse.

My Neptune is retrograde, luckily it and Saturn don't aspect. Seems like it'd be a tough one.

I was wondering because you can always tell when a person has a nicely aspected moon, their vibe is generally a positive one. You seem like a person with a positive outlook. That's very great, don't ever change that.

My leo Saturn is in my 10th trine my saggy Sun/Mercury in 2nd but on the cusp of 3rd, they are conjunct my 3rd house Neptune.

I guess my career should be focused around what I've learned. It seems our responsibility is to heal and to learn through our healing.

It does sound like it.

When I look back on it all it still blows me away that I'm here. I thought many times that I wouldn't be. I thank God everyday that I am alive as life is truly the greatest gift. The strength you gain from pulling through all of the hardships is just incredible. I agree one hundred percent that the growth in the end is worth it. I wouldn't change any of what I've lived through.

My Saturn is all over my chart, as many other planets, it's definitely something that I take pride in. Saturn is an awesome planet it just takes time to evolve it.

I didn't know what I truly wanted to do career wise and recently discovered that it's something that I was made for. I can't wait to start school and give it everything that I have. Being of service to others is truly the greatest feeling, knowing that you've made another person who is down feel better is just the greatest joy.

Quite true. I see what you mean

Funny thing is, I just took a look at my progressed Jupiter, and it seems like he has moved forward, in Leo 0+ deg.

[b]"It seems our responsibility is to heal and to learn through our healing." Exactly! It's something we all need, and to help others along the way. [/B]

I think I hide my hard aspected moon as much as I can. and also maybe try to avoid it(Nept?). which is wrong I guess

In my more close relationships though, I have seen it unconsciously take over me. So, it is something that I am taking baby steps to confront and deal with, before I lose anyone special that is beside me.
It has happened recently, and it sure has dragged me down with many regrets

Temporarily removing alot of toxic ppl also from my life, and unfortunately some are family, has helped me feel brighter , but with doubt & confusion as to why this has to happen, piling up more regrets

But I don't have any intention on letting this loop continue.

Neptune is a great planet. It to takes lots of maturing, nurturing and understanding. It can make or break a person for sure. My moon is heavily aspected. I deal with it the best I can. As long as you aren't hiding it from yourself, hide it if you want.

Removing toxic folks was the first thing I did. It's very important especially if they're closer to you. I did so to many family members. I'm civil with them if need be but there is nothing there. I will never fully trust them so I watch what I do and say around them. It's sad but it is what it is. I don't let it get to me as they aren't that important to me anyway.

You seem to be heading down the right path. I'm rooting for ya. I promise it'll get better. Just keep hanging in there.

I too have it. The Saturn/Pluto square I meant. It's slightly different.

I love this site. http://astromatrix.org/Horoscopes/Planet-Aspects/Saturn-Square-Pluto

This one's about retrograde planets. http://www.astrologyweekly.com/blog/retrograde-planets-in-the-natal-chart/

I always associated this placement with steely willpower (which I have, and so does my Taurus son, who also has the square), but yeah...especially with Saturn in my 11H, I do everything I can to try to put a bandaid on what I perceive as the shortcomings within our society (failure to take care of those who can't care for themselves, for example, or to help people get back on their feet).

Well anyway...I got chatty all of a sudden, I think the coffee is finally starting to clear my brain fog a tiny bit.

Perhaps it's because your Pluto is retro? With my Saturn being retro it makes even more sense for me. I have Saturn trine my Sun, Moon, Mercury and ASC 😁, it's easier to deal with than having just one, I think anyway. You get accustomed to the energy. Pluto/Saturn is a tough placement. It's power should never be underestimated.

You're alright. Coffee has the same effect on me, which unfortunately increases my hyper hahaha. I can't shut up! I avoid it after a certain time or I'm awake all through the night.

The retro article was a really good one. I enjoyed how well she made everything make sense. Sometimes astrologers tend to lose me when they go into too grand of detail on things hahaha.

Happy they helped you.

Every ounce of confidence was destroyed in my childhood, though I'm slowly rebuilding it. My parents demanded perfection at all times. I had adult responsibilities before I had even finished kindergarten. As I grew older, my mom became a lot more relaxed and encouraged me to slack off more. Lol. Today we're quite close and she constantly reminds me to not be so hard on myself.

My father told me when I was barely in elementary school that he never loved me. That completely destroyed me and it was quite difficult to face such a brutal truth at such a young age. I haven't spoken to him since. I have no idea where he is and I frankly don't care. I've read that a retro Saturn can result in the absence of a father either physically speaking (i.e. death or abandonment) or emotionally-speaking.

It does seem like double the work, time & energy is needed to build up confidence with Saturn retro. But in the end, I do believe we succeed in coming out 2x stronger

Seems like you've just gone thru ur Saturn return..
It is a stage of our life where we get a stronge taste of Saturn's dynamic. & if u survive it,lol, he gets a lot easier to handle for building the required confidence to move forward with
