So now that Saturn is retrograding, what is going on with everyone?

For me, I'm still working on keeping solid relationships, but one problem I can't get my head around is that people are choosing to stick with their own kind rather than extend a hand. I understand that people think they have a right to choose their social circle and maintain relationships with people on their level, but it makes life extra hard for me these days when I'm faced with openly contemptuous and disdainful people because I'm not as well-off or don't have as many resources to offer anymore.

So it's an adult lesson, in a way, that I'm at a certain level in the grand scheme of things and people will work to keep me there. Humbling, but my life has narrowed. It hurts a little, too, because I worked hard but I'm who I am, I guess there's no escaping that. :\

I'm sorry you're experiencing a shut-out, starkttn. Me, I'm finishing up my BFA. Only 3 months to go!!

Generally speaking, I like Rx periods. My Chiron is 2 degrees Taurus and recently got my first taste of the upcoming Saturn/opposition by transit (on my 11/5th House axis). UGLY! So...a little rest period is okay by me.

That sucks starkttn.  I'm also trying to venture out and meet new people.  Too bad you don't live closer!  :)

Congratulations, Kashmiri, and don't worry, it's not a terrible transit...I have that natally; it's survivable. :)

Thanks Jennifer, yes, or I'd have another excuse to bake! :)

Yeah, I'm having the same problems with people at college they don't really want to know me. I don't really care I will make new friends somewhere else. It truely does suck. But you know what? I realised that these people are not the kind of people I want to be with. Yes, I don't make that much money compared to others and the resources I have maybe limited. But that should not matter, basically, they are not worth it. Harsh? Could be. The thing is I want the real deal in my life.

But today, I have realised that I've built foundations/relationships with banks. Yes, this has been rocked by others, but I have sorted this out.  

Also I want to succeed in my areas of work. Why? 'Cause Saturn is in my 10th house!

You're another one who I wished lived closer, sunny. 

Sunny I can relate to that. :(

Thanks for your vote of confidence, Starkttn. I hope the painful events in my social life (with people I consider family) are just a temporary bump in the road.
