I hate to automatically write about all of the intense transits coming my way at the moment (as this is my first post). I am not asking for advice as much as I am curious of any positive stories anyone has about several intense transits at once.

 Within' a year I am going to have Saturn opposite my Sun/Jupiter conjunction, conjunct my ascendant and the pluto/saturn crush is going to be right on all of my angles! Pluto will also be square my sun until November and will be crossing over my IC right afterwards, conjuncting my Neptune and squaring my rising and descendant / opposing my midheaven. There are plenty more but I am focusing on those as they are right at important places in my chart right at the same time.

 I am so nervous! I have been going through terrible transits for the past couple of years and things have not been that great for me, in all honesty. I could use the change to something more positive. I am kind of used to the pressure but am still nervous.

Today I just signed up for my examinations before graduation, am considering teaching English overseas next year and my boyfriend and I are at a weird time in our relationship. We aren't sure what's going to happen. I have very little to count on other than myself. I am deprived of the colorful people I love to be around. I must find everything within' myself. I am certain that this won't change for the next few years.

Anyway, I guess I wanted to complain a bit to people who understand transits! :(  I have been cleaning up after a few Neptune transits which admittedly, I want to go back to at times!

Anyone else getting crushed? Any positive stories? thank you! I refuse to let these transits kill my spirit.

Audrey - Welcome! Glad to have you join us (and sorry to hear of all the angst). It's going around right now.

If you can post a picture of your chart (or link to a picture so we can help get it posted), you're likely to get more helpful responses. Reading charts seems to be a visual process for a lot of folks.

Thanks!

 Posted the chart. Hope it isn't too large.

Hi, Welcome! 

Positive story: 

I lost my husband, I found my artist.

I lost my marriage, I found a commitment to my self.

I lost my passion for my career. I found a passion for astrology

I lost my physical pain, I found out how to "feel" and have empathy with others

I lost my companion, I get to do whatever I please whenever i want in my own space!! Wheeeeee!

sounds cheezy, i know. but its pretty much true.

Thanks. I have always been a very independent sort. There is something very positive about having freedom to be yourself. Relationships in the past and present have always been quite a challenge for me. I'm just not the type who enjoys them like I feel I "should."

This is optimistic:  Jupiter conjunct Sun in Aries. 

Nice chart!  I see A lot of strength and balance.

In my opinion, teaching overseas looks good.

I personally dont see, on a quick look, any major complicated transit stuff, like I see in some charts. but thats just me. And sometimes transits that have passed are yet to actually find their expression. So,

You might want to get a reading by Elsa? It could give you some focus and direction to "calm your nerves" about upcoming transits.

Thanks! I am oftentimes very happy about my chart. I have a twin brother, too, and the manifestation through him is quite different. It's strange seeing how differently both charts manifest.

 I have considered getting a reading done by Elsa but in all honesty, I am out of funds at the moment! School books are a total scam.

"Relationships in the past and present have always been quite a challenge for me. I'm just not the type who enjoys them like I feel I 'should.'"

Venus square Mars, I would think.  There was a thread somewhere around here about that and I seem to recall a lot of peeps with that Venus-Mars aspect saying it caused a bit of trouble between wanting what you had and having what you want.  Or summat.  *laughs*  And although I don't know diddly about the nodes, I'd definitely take a gander at that 7th house N. node.  I'm learning that the N. node is something you're supposed to work on grokking this cycle of the wheel, so something in that might resonate.

And, by the by, howdy!

Welcome roxannaduel! :)

You're not the only one going through a crush hon. I just checked next year's transits for myself (as if this year isn't hard enough ;)) and I will be affected by a transiting Pluto squaring my sun AND Saturn opposing my sun! Since you and I are both Arieses, we will be hit hard by transits in the following years.

On the plus side, Jupiter will be in our sign next year - conjuncting our suns. This is definitely something good! Mine will be in the 12th house, which will be a great help dealing with the Saturn/Pluto crush!

So don't worry - you're not alone! :) 

hi roxannaduel,

i'm also close on the hits with you...although i'm pisces at late degrees, i also have libra rising at 2 degrees .....     hang in there, you're in good company!!  

Hi roxannaduel, I can relate. Like many people with planets on the angles, I'm going to be crushed, as Elsa puts it, for a while.

I'm nervous too. Anything could happen. My only solace is that there are some parts of me that have been painful for my entire life, and some parts of me that aren't fully developed, and I figure that whatever these transits bring, it can only help those areas, even if it's awful at the time (unless I die, in which case I guess I won't have to worry about it).

I got a consultation from Elsa. It's something you might consider. Sometimes you just need a pro. Perhaps us folks here on the boards can lend support as well. GOOD LUCK!!

Man, terrible day. I feel like all of the progress I have made the past several weeks has gone by the wayside. I try to talk to friends, but I have few thanks to all of my transits! None of them seem to understand, anyway, I'm not sure if they ever will... seems I have reeled off into a completely different direction and expect quite a few different things from life.

Sigh. Very strange. Everything has made a 180 within' 36 hours or so.

roxannaduel:

I know the feeling of having "few friends" and not having them understand. There are a lot of changes going on within you and people around may just not understand what it is like.

This is why sometimes I find solace in these boards because I can see that other people are going through similar situations as I am. Also, there are people who have been through these rough situations and they offer a lot of excellent advice on how to cope. I am still learning this, but I am having faith that everything will be ok. 

((For all who are going through tough transits))
