The other possibility is that the partner may be unkind to you? Surfacing all sorts of wounds when it comes to your self-confidence?
Saturn in 1st tends to base their self-identity on how "competent " or "able" they are as a person. Often very intellectual (even profound).
Sat in 1st house is usually no idiot and bases their self-worth on how much they can "achieve" . Saturn (by default of being in house 1) gives them ladders to climb(corporate, social/ political etc.). And then judges them harshly with regards to the progress made towards getting to the top.
Saturn is task master and (especially when young)one will feel the burn from climbing Saturn's proverbial assigned mountains.
It does however ease up with age. And upon the 2nd Saturn return, Saturn does a 180 and suddenly makes the native distinctly Uranian in nature. Quirky and unusual in physical appearance or ideas. It's very interesting to behold as the individual is no longer interested in climbing ladders.But looking for foofy slides. WTF?!!🙆🏿♂️.
# Look at Cap Sun actor Anthony Hopkins if you don't believe the Saturn (re)turn. He couldn't give a flying f***k about his last Oscar win.
Now that Trans Neptune is in retrograde and moving over to aspect your Sat in 1st. It will (by default) also aspect Chiron in 7th. Is it self worth you are losing? Or is it the things that you have been using to define your self?🤔
The distinction is very important. Neptune tends to dissolve things and transcend the limitations of the planet it aspect. So perhaps here there is over-identification with the things of Sat ? And Neptune is asking you to remember that the "self" came without attachment and intends to leave the same way. Neptune is asking you to transcend those boundaries.
An example would be if someone with Sat in 1st defined themselves with their looks. Beautiful bone structure, model-like features that have them captivate the catwalk and dominate the modelling industry. With product campaingn managers begging to sign the native.
Then the transit of Neptune comes and there is weight gain(Nep/ & Jup retain water like the Moon because all have Cancer sign connections). And they lose those sculpted features, their face looks more "rounded" and their body more "pudgy".
Now the self-esteem of such an individual would take a beating. Since they defined their worth in accordance with their value as a model, when the campaign demands decline.Its an issue that degenerates to an "identity crisis" i.e. who am I if I am not a world famous model? Neptune says "you are more".
Pluto is retrograde to conjunct your natal Neptune (ruler of house 1). So once again, we get the reiteration that you will need to let go of something that you used to define yourself and (by extension) your self-worth.
Pluto is very destructive. And since Neptune is conjunct Uranus natally , the "crash" is unlikely to be silent. You may wake up one day with things completely changed and forced to face a new reality about you.
God, I literally don' even know how to respond. Thank you so much for your interpretation though - and I definitely think some of it applies. The only thing I can say is the things I used to define myself by sound fascinating, I mean in terms of losing that. But how I am experiencing the feeling now is very much, "I am not good enough to be seen" (a lot of that has to do with men). But it is not true, part of me thinks it is all in my head - it is difficult to explain.
