Can anyone shed light on what they went through during a saturn retrograde in the 7th house (transit).

I'm currently going through a situation where I'm being forced to outline/define boundaries with an ex. I feel like I'm standing up for myself, and I'm being forced to handled this situation differently.

However, would LOVE to read your stories

Thanks for sharing in advance x

Saturn has not entered my 7th yet. But I am going through relationships lessons.

Saturn is squaring my Pisces Venus (6 degrees).
And I'm a Gemini ASC as well, 11 degrees.

When Saturn went stationary rx I became emotional. And two days after it went rx my best friend told me to come over to her house and that she had to tell me something personal.

So when I got to her house she got right to it, and told me that she saw that my ex is in a relationship.

She knew I made it so that I can't see him on my news feed. But she wanted me to find out from a real friend like herself, and not be caught off guard in public.

At first I was like "okay, whatever it's not a race."

But then I broke down and cried. Because with me he was all like I think labels ruin relationships and we never made out almost 3 year relationship official on fb. "why do I let people treat me like crap?"

I basically broke down, because I was the chosen one to be treated like **** by him when it came to stuff.

BTW my friend got dumped that day. I was very caught off that she was dumped since she told me more stuff about my ex.

Imagine someone that just got dumped telling you to "suck it up" haha yep that's my friend.

It sucks when people tell you, you can't let getting dumped affect you. OF COURSE I KNOW THAT.

Anyways I went home and cried more, and yeah...I was fed up with my ex damaging me. So that night I got back into law of attraction so that I can subconsciously get out of my funk, be happy, and rebuild my self esteem. I think it's helping! I know it's helping.

Hi Stawr!

Thanks for replying, for some reason... I haven't seen this until now
I definitely feel your pain when it comes to the emotional/relationship issues you talked about in your message. My advice to you would be... Let it all out and flow with your emotions. Grief is released in stages and this time last year, I was literally going through all kinds of emotions. I was happy, sad, angry and everything in between. I was studying at the time, so I managed to focus on that and get through it a day at a time with the help of my best friend. So I literally advise you to find a person that you can trust and offload onto them. I wouldn't neccessarily tell you to choose a friend who is also going through a break up... I kind of made that mistake last year and I was often comparing myself to her. Thinking, why doesn't she understand my grief and why is she forcing me when I am not ready. At the time, I didn't need it at all!!!!

For some reason, Gemini Sun relariobship's are being affected by Saturn's transit in Sagittarius.. Not too sure how that works, but I have really been feeling the need to redefine my relationships - telling people what I can and can't stand. What annoys me is that 2 days before Saturn started retrograding, I was at a stage where I was ready to cut my ex off. Saturn went retograde, and I feel that I am now being made to deal with my ex but in a more mature manner. I am not too sure if he will go for good, or if he will stay... But I'm frustrated now because I feel like emotionally... I've gone backwards. Personally, I just want to know where i stand with him. I've expressed that to him; and now I feel like I'm just "waiting" - argh. I really cannot stand saturn affecting me like this!!!!!!!!

I have tSaturn in my 7th right now in the later portion of the house.

The biggest effect it has had has been me dropping my old social groups. I just didn't want to socialize and went through a hermit period. Now, near the end of it, I've begun constructing new friendships, but they're superficial friendships as I'm leaving town soon.

I'm really ok with this. It's good timing. Uranus is in my 12th heading to my 1st and it has been breaking down the life chains that I've always felt held me back. Saturn is reworking my social relationships and Uranus is clearing house on old issues. It's actually relieving a lot of stress and making me very ready to start the next part of my life.

Romantic relationships have been odd. Without talking myself up a lot I'll say that I'm considered good looking and charming and I have a 7th house Sun with Venus in Libra and a Taurus Asc, a good mix of Libran/Taurus/Venus charm so I'm always dating and always dating someone new.

With tSaturn in the 7th my dating life has been less than stellar compared to the normal rate I'm used to. I've dated a few people during this transit but it never last long as if Saturn closes the door on their face or the door never opens at all even though I feel the mutual attraction.

It's ok. I'm happy for this too. It's a good lesson for a 7th house Sun to not always go running around dating.

I'm going through this transit right now and it's squaring my Moon. I just feel lonely and I've been thinking about past affairs a lot after being fine. I don't see myself running towards any of them declaring I still have feelings though. I've been cleanly lining out in my mind what I will and won't take from anyone more as well as cutting quite a few people out of my life. I have no desire to date rather to just have that one person I can relay on, no games, just chilling in pajamas watching netflix.

oh yes I think I cried everyday for a month. My older sister says in a situation like mine she would fake it and act like she's fine.
I get it, but I think that's unhealthy and some people can see through that. She thinks it gives that person more power.
The way I see it, let people know I'm a wreck. I have every right and reason to feel that way. If people get a sick pleasure out of it, they can enjoy it while they can. Cause once it's out of my system. I will be fine and actually mean it. Being fine and actually meaning it sounds WAY more satisfying to me.

Interesting about the friend going through the same thing. My friend got dumped a few weeks ago. She is a Gemini Moon and Venus. Yeah she tells me I need to get of my funk for school, glad I have friends to tell me that. But it's like no **** , but I can't help how overwhelmed I was.

It's been an emotional experience. I remember breaking down on the floor. Because I was trying to put the sweater he always let me wear in a bag to give back to him. I couldn't do it. I lost it. I was finally able to do it a few hours later.

But when I got my stuff back from him. I felt like a weight was lifted off of me. But yeah of course I cried leading up to it.

They more I cut him from my life the better my well being. Sometimes I cry but I will feel much better after.

The last time I cried over the relationship was Saturday. I was on FB, and I was annoyed that I can see when he is and isn't online. I don't want to know what he is up to anymore. I really tried to respect his wishes of wanting to be "friends." But I can't do it. I removed things we were involved with on FB, and I made it so that I don't have to see his status updates.

But then I have to hear from people that he is in a new relationship. "she looks just like you, do you want to see her picture? I think he met her through work, it looks like she works at chili's, I think he was seeing her behind your back."
Honestly so annoying. I don't want to know any of this, or have to answer this crap. And yeah I told my friend "no" on looking at my ex moving on.

So I impulsively unfriended him on Saturday. I cried. Not bawl just cry. I was not alone. I had to go to my room. I was just like faaack I am not alone and am not being left alone get it together. Put on some good music let myself cry quietly and get it all out before I went to the movies with friends.

That was a wake up call that I wasn't as ready as I thought, to start dating again. haha

But the next day I've been in a much better state of mind, and have been ever since.

Something that bugs me...my sister called me a week ago. The same week my ex put on fb that he is in a new relationship. Told me that I am talking about myself too much. Maybe she is right...BUT REALLY?! Is this really best time to criticize the way someone communicates when they are opening up about a traumatic experience? That happened a few days ago!?
But then shows my mom and dad my exes fb page on Saturday, when I am out with friends.
I think that is ****** up, and I'll probably give her a piece of my mind about that. I can't over share about my break up, but SHE CAN!?
You never know what kind of support you'll get from people. No one's support can be perfect all the time I guess.

Oh yeah I definitely felt like I was emotionally going backwards when I found out he was in a relationship after dumping me a month ago.

It's messed up, it's mean to me, etc. I wont know if his intentions are true. Is he rebounding, him dating a girl that supposedly looks just like me, mean he's not over me, does he just have a type? Is he trying to spite me? Did he truly find his soul mate? I can wonder a little bit why, but what's the point. Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Well from what I hear it sounds like he is treating her better label wise. I'm glad she wont have to go through what I went through.

Yeah he is doing things he did not ever do for me, but that's okay because one day I will do things with someone else that I've never done for him.

I've been beginning to enjoy my own company. I love just sitting in my room listening to music, and planning outfits and such.

The idea of meeting someone new excites me, but also scares the crap out of me.

I'm
A taurus rising and I havebedn going through this transit for a while. Saturn was sitting on my pluto, square my sun, Mercury and saturn.
I'm not relationship oriented and have felt like the universe is telling me I need to start dating. Didn't work out too well! I became a hermit too. I moved and am about to move again by the end of this transit when saturn retrograde in Scorpio for 3 months.
I've dumped a few friends whose "friendship" with me has long expired. I have a clearer sense of who I am, what i want and an appreciation for the people in my life.
I definitely narrow down my friend circle and went through lots of issues with authority. I have 10th stellium so thats natural but I imagine 7th house transit is all about facing your shadow side before saturn reaches your MC. So I'm sure we all go through struggles with authorities to some extent even if you don't have 10th stellium

Also the narrowing down friend circle might have to do with tPluto on my venus.

I had serious emotional breakdown but I'm guessing it's be less heavy for gem rising since you don't have pluto in 7th

I've done the solitary thing most of my life. I'm like a cat. I am not just not interested in sorting through the bs of dating.

I have Pluto in Scorpio too house 6 conjunct my moon. Very work and health related themes. I quit smoking cigarettes. Went to school full time.
That was a huge emotional adjustment for me, but I am very proud of myself.

The worst thing about this transit, is that I keep getting cavities. When before I went 23 years w/o any.

During Saturn in Scorpio it tried my Jupiter and Venus, sextiled Uranus, Neptune Saturn, conjunct Moon and Pluto, square Mars, N.node, MC, IC, S. node.

Really seems like the good transits are great for health while the bad one are bad.

Saturn squaring my Venus, I have been under the weather for over a week. From under dressing since it's just cold and not freezing outside anymore. I am getting so impatient and annoyed with this weather. It's snowing out today! I just put all my winter clothes away.

Ugh and I hardly have any pants to wear because my weight has fluctuated so much the past couple of years. I've had some of the same skirts and dresses for almost a decade that fit me no matter what my weight is. I wish it was Sunday right now so I can go shopping.

My friend is an Aries ASC, when Saturn transited her 7th, she couldn't really date because she lived in my parents basement. As soon as she moved out though, she started dating a guy from law school. This was her first serious relationship ever.

My sister and mom are Gemini Asc like myself. So I'm guessing my sister will learn how to be in her marriage now that she is a new mom.
And my mom will have to work out the kinks in her marriage I presume.

My 7th house is empty. But when Saturn enters my 7th it will of course oppose my asc, conjunct dc, trine sun, sextile mars.

I see. Lately the idea of dating someone around my age sounds awful, and will just be a bs time. I've been attracted to much older guys lately. I have a crush on this guy who is much older than me at work. I think I've always a little thing for him. woops. I don't expect anything to happen though. He is such a nice guy though, I see good qualities in him, and I make a note of that. I don't know if I'll meet anyone around my age who is that nice. I donno he's always made me blush when I talk about him, even before I really explored these feelings. I try not to think about it too much so that I don't start acting like a weirdo creep around him, and other people at work. It's hard though. I'm one of those people who can act really odd when I have a crush on someone. One day I started getting impulsive thoughts. But I realize how impulsive and irrational I'm being, and remind myself to calm down.

I got invited to party a few weeks from now. Lot's of dudes in their 20's will be there. My friend's house parties are always epic. I get lots of male attention when I go. But being in a relationship in the past, I would have fun, but behave myself.
So it should be interesting to go to one of these parties as a single person. These friends do not know I am single yet. And I know some of the dudes "dig me," and wonder how they'll act when they find out.
By the time I go to this party, I will be single for two months. I really have not partied gone out since the break up. So I'm kind of looking forward to mingling. I'll probably behave myself though, because I have a morning class the next day.

Trust me don't do this to yourself. I did the same thing and it will drive you crazy. There is no way of knowing why he chose to date someone so similar to you. My last romantic partner decided to declare his relationship indirectly on fb by having her post a pictures of the two of them spending Christmas with his parents with the caption look what his mom made me. To add she's the exact opposite of me (race wise, age, body type etc )aside from some similar hobbies cosplay and fitness.

Saturn is currently transiting my 7th house.

My 7th house ruler is Scorpio.

Mars in Sagittarius is almost exactly on the 7th house cusp conjunct Pluto in the 6th house.

My North Node in Sagittarius is in my 7th house.
I have mars conjunct NN.

Currently, transiting Saturn is conjunct my NN & Mars.

Opposing my Taurus Ascendant.


It has been one hell of a ride thus far, but that might be because Saturn just left my 6th house and Scorpio stellium (Sun, Mercury (r), Venus, Jupiter, Pluto in Scorpio) conjuncting at least 3 at a time for 2 1/2 years when Saturn was in Scorpio. During that time and currently, Transit Pluto is square ny moon and Transit Uranus is in opposition to my moon so my response might not directly be related to Transit Saturn in the 7th house. Not to mention, transit neptune making some trines to all of my personal planets, squaring my mars. I am a mess!

Anyway, as of right now, and when Saturn first entered my 7th house, I noticed a major shift in my thought process, when it comes to my relationships, almost instantly.. I have become obsessed with the thought of actually finding a genuine love.. Settling down.. The whole thing. As a result, I've been dating a lot more lately, but no ine feels quite right. There's always that deep genuine connection that's missing. Transit Saturn is also conjunct my DSC in Scorpio so maybe that's why I''m going through so much drama and disappointment in the relationship department.. All I know is, I'm exhausted.. I've been dealing with Saturn for almost 3 years now.. Not to mention, mars is my most afflicted and most aspected planet in my chart AND is the ruler of my 12th house.. I am literally exhausted seriously.

That sounds like great advice!

Wow I am so ticked off, I went to the fish fry with my mom and grandma. Mom saved me a place since I just got off work. We are at at table with a mom of someone my sister went to school with.
And then this mom and my mom are doing the whole small town talk about what people are doing. And then this lady drops a last name my exes last name. My ex has a lot of family that lives in my town. Do you guys know the *******?
I must of seemed like such a b1tch to the lady I was like "I just got out of a relationship with one of them. I'm about to get up and walk out of here." Tried to sound like I was joking, but I wasn't and couldn't fake it.
And then my mom who is pretty much always in lala land. In a cheerful lalaland tone asks me "did he ever live in our town Stawr?" and I snap "COULD WE NOT DO THIS?!"
I try to talk with my grandma. But I am too ****** and use HW as an excuse to leave.

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! This is so annoying, and unfair. I've cut him out of my life, and I still have to hear about him and his family. And I am just putting on a freakshow for people to watch. I forgot, that's how people get treated when they are single.
