There seem to have been arguments all over the internet, for the past week. Today, there seems to be a mass exodus in a FB group for an appliance, over something that happened about a week ago, and the main admin stepping down. IP: Logged |

I wonder if that's cuz of Mercury Rx... :s The only planet that needs to go is the Saturn who's going back and forth on my Asc for the past 6 months -_-.... IP: Logged |

Yay!  The ruler of my Sagittarius Sun and Venus. I definitely feel relieved. It went retrograde in January this year and it was a hard beginning of the year for me. IP: Logged |

I am in that boat too but I am actually starting to appreciate it as is helping me get in better shape and making me look at myself more honestly and get rid of certain behaviors and bad coping skills, I am gaining a lot of insight and cleaning out issues related to my 1st, 7th and 8th house bc transit Saturn is conjunct my AC and is activating a lot of stuff... But I find it a very valuable transit like growing pains but growing pains that you want that are going to make your life better so hang in there you will end up liking this transit. IP: Logged |

Weird stuff has been going on with food while the 5 planets were rx.
There was a listeria contamination with some trader joe food. (and I ate one of the things on the list, thank God I'm fine.)and then

Since mars and mercury went retrograde i have dropped my phone six times I had literally never dropped this phone before, and I've had it for at least three years LOLSince the Jupiter entered the retrograde zone last October (in my 11th house) I have cut about four toxic "friends" out of my life, it took until the retrograde in January for the catalytic event to hit, but it has been all good outcome imo. my partner and i are kind of going back in time to before we met them to get reacquainted with parts of our spiritual and creative selves that we sacrificed for them. Since rx Saturn has been square to that rx Jupiter-neptune opposition for so long, we figured this would be a lot about pruning influences and clearing out mental pollution. When Saturn entered the retrograde zone mid-last December (in my 2nd house, remaining square my 11th house moon and 5th house mars must of the period) my money situation got much tighter, after it went retrograde late March my parents rescinded supporting me with medical expenses, ignored my birthday to go on a cruise and send everyone else in our family flowers, and i will be losing my family medical insurance entirely at the end of the month. BUSY START TO THE YEAR LOL

Awwww I agree. Gabby needs good cuddling for sure. Are you sag Sun? Funny my So is experiencing something similar. He says he's a little short on fuse and losing patience. He feels easily irritated.  IP: Logged |

*sigh*Transit Saturn conjuncts my natal Sun in Sagittarius 3 times (because of the retrograde it goes back and forth): January 2016, May 2016, and October 2016. Then in December 2016 (and again in August 2017) it conjuncts my natal Venus in Sagittarius. My 1st Saturn return is also coming up in a few years (I have Saturn in Capricorn). I feel like I become more and more mature with each day which is essentially a good thing. Since my Sagittarius Sun/Venus trines my Jupiter in Leo and Midheaven in Aries in my natal chart, transit Saturn also forms trines with my natal Jupiter and Midheaven, which can be the reason why I'm handling this Saturn on Sun transit pretty good. Unfortunately I often feel a bit down and sad these days for no reason. IP: Logged |

Thank you for your kind words, hypatia! It's been a great life learning phase for sure, especially I just had my saturn return last winter. I've made many mistakes, dealt with hardships, and financial problems since Saturn rules my 2nd house. The moment I feel everything is under control, something comes up again and it's the repeat of this over and over.. Sigh. But we only have one direction to go don't we. We gotta move forward...

Here here. My daughter's sun is 14 Sag. She has artritis in her knee and many other complaints. We tested her on rheumatism but it's negative. We don't know what it is yet. Today she has a hospital appointment. I want to to take all her pain and discomfort. You know what she said:" mommy, it is my path not yours!"  Aw!!!!!!!! Saturn doesn't seem to want to back off soon. In my 4th, conjunct my husbands Moon. Meh! But we will master this thing!! And a lot of good is happening too! IP: Logged |

Seriously. This transit is stressing me the f**k out.
*********** Mars is on my NN, square my Sun and Moon. I can't sleep, and I'm being forced to step up and set boundaries with people when my normal reaction is to simply get away from them (very Pisces Sun/H8-like) and cut contact whenever possible. But issues are coming up around my son, and children in general (NN in Sag/H5) that I'm having to be more straightforward about. I've had to set more boundaries with the neighbor boy and his parents than I would ever care to have to do, and with my family, etc. Combined with the lack of sleep and pregnancy, it's just not pretty. I'm like some sort of sleep-deprived, p!ssed off, hormonal zombie. Jeez. Thank God for this forum. I need a place to get some of this stuff off my chest with relative anonymity. I had a Reiki appointment last week, but had to cancel. Hrmphh. IP: Logged |

Exercise is put on hold. I just don't know how to while being in school. I cannot stand when people want to tell me, I don't have it that hard for school. When they have no idea what I have to do, or have had to do anything related to what I've had to, to get by in these classes. Some people THINK when I talk about school, I'm telling them my life is harder than theirs, and want to make it a contest of who's life is harder, and that I have no excuses. I got really fed up with this, when I knew other people going to school for other things could not relate. So I finally started saying "yeah other people go to school for hard things, BUT AT LEAST THEY GET TO SIT ON THIER @$$ TO GET THEIR WORK DONE!" People doing their masters degree online can't argue with that.
I'm finally starting to get sympathy from people. I cannot wait (well actually I can, I'm taking time off to just work after my associates.) to get my bachelors done online. Cause I won't have a 50 minute commute to get to the campus anymore, and to just be able to sit on my ass and get my work done. IP: Logged |

Like the others have noted, very intense time. But retrograde planets do not have to signify something negative. They can be used to re-think and re-visit opportunities we may have neglected. Because I have been encountering stumbling after stumbling blocks at work, I am re-evaluating my current path and re-turning to something that was of interest to me in the past and in which I did put some work and energy, but that I never fully pursued. So going with the glow of retrograde planets, I am going back to this window of opportunity to re-think and re-plan how to work with it. The potential are excellent and things are actually falling nicely in place for me to move in the new direction indicated by going back to an old thing. IP: Logged |

My husband's battered SUV (that he bought against my amazingly awesome, Virgo-influenced advice  ) broke down on a busy street today, just as I was having a real heart-to-heart with my son about some stuff he's needing support with.So in all, we've had to buy another SUV-thing (whatever the hell it is), sold the other one to the tow-truck driver, lol... Fingers crossed that this Rx period will allow us to make a better choice than the last one, and will turn out to be a great vehicle. We already have car payments on our main car, and we didn't want to spend much of our savings on a new car, so. I like what we ended up with, I think. Hopefully it will do well for us.  IP: Logged |

The van has broken down again. Something to do with the transmission, I think dad said. He has to get it to a repair shop, rent a car for a few days so he can get to and from work, then pay a small fee to use a van from work, so that he can do his job. IP: Logged |

Eh... Lol. Minimally, I suppose? Man, I really dumped quite a bit in here in the past couple of weeks!
 Well, to be fair, Mars is hitting my luminaries, and my husband's Mercury and Saturn (that's basically passed, for now). Mercury is also squaring my AC/DC axis and my Mercury, and is also squaring my husband's NN/Mars (which is on my Dsc). I'm hoping that when Mercury moves off of 14 Taurus it will ease up a bit.

Too many changes...Death of family member, pregnancy, sudden move, real estate purchase, court battles, enemies, new pet, questioning faith/ meaning of life, car accident, hospital stays, mom getting a stroke, etc...all since March. For having so many retrograde planets, I've never had so much happen. The eclipses hit me hard though so it may have more to do with that. I'm so over 2016 and so scared of the September eclipses coming up. Not sure I can take much more. IP: Logged |
