This is hard for me because my whole life has been a bad transit, however if I had to pick I would say it was (of all things) Neptune's transit in hard aspect to my Moon.

I lost my whole family during that transit and every single person I loved in the world, gone as well.  I have never been so dillusioned and depressed in my life. I went like that in a total void for 6 or 8 months and then I met my friend, Ben and like started looking up again.

Hmmm well I don't know much about any transits I may have gone through before, hmm the last two years, but the one I am in now till the end of 2010, Neptune conjunct Sun has been one big mess.  Confusion and my life being turned upside down would be a big understatement!!

Saturn in Gemini with Pluto opposing in the sky in Sag.  Set off my Gemini sun, Merc, Jupiter t-square with stellium of Mars, Uranus and Pluto in Virgo and Saturn in Pisces.  I lost a lot, was very alone and was pregnant.  The saving grace of that time period was that I had Jupiter conjunct Venus in Cancer at the time and had a few mother types show up to support me.  I would have been homeless otherwise. 

I think I'm in it the worst aspects of my life. :/

Before that, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn conj my Mars/Asc (which squares Uranus & Chiron), while Chiron & Venus opposed it, was pretty bad.  That was when I got hit by a car and my mom kicked me out of the house because... I got hit by a car.  I spent a few months living with my friend's family & they took care of my while I recovered.

 I have to say that I really hate Neptune transits too.

So far the worst transit has been Saturn going over my sun, then Merc, and wrapping up with my first SR.  In addition, this was all during the Saturn-Neptune opposition.  I was kerflunkered.  Absolutely, seriously, totally a wreck complete with false fears, depression, and slight paranoia interspersed with days of almost feeling okay.  I never knew what was going to blow up next.

Edited to add:  Holy snorks!  I just noticed that all of us have mentioned Neptune was involved somehow.  Woah...

SaDiablo, Neptune wasn't involved in my worst transit ever but it is very well aspected in my chart. 

As far as short term, one week that Mars squared my Pluto-Moon-Jupiter-Venus from Capricorn then Aquarius. I was moving house (Mars transiting my 4th plus the fact that it was squaring my moon), and my boyfriend was trying to break up with me all of a sudden, and I was dealing with the fact that I had no future anyway, and I was attacked, and I had food poisoning.

Long term, Neptune in early Aquarius, set off by Saturn in Taurus, exacerbated by Pluto opposite my Mercury/Sun, and then Saturn in Gemini set that one off into a downward spiral resulting in the above.

The last Saturn square of my stellium in Libra was a hell of a time.  I was severely depressed and trying to at least look like I was holding it together while my mother was dying.

I'm a little twitchy about the upcoming Saturn conjunction of said stellium in Libra (plus Pluto at the end of Virgo), but I'm in a much better state going in this time.

I think the worst transit I've experienced was Pluto conjunct my natal 12th House Neptune.Both of my closest girlfriends moved away, I got hit by a car and wasn't able to work for months, causing me to lose my apartment, my aunt died of cancer (on Christmas day), then my SO had an accident when he broke his back (as well as a zillion other bones) and almost died, then my uncle died of cancer, and then parents nearly divorced when my mum had an affair. Two of my siblings stopped speaking to me for almost 2 years over the fact that I wanted to stay out of it. 

Oh, and I did sign up for a gravatar but I can't see it. Can you guys see it??

kasmiri, I can's see it but "gravatars" from gravatar.com is for the main site, to show in the comments once we have that enabled.

For this forum you have to alter your profile...

cool. um, i have no idea how to do that! I did sign in, but if I click on my name, the only thing that happens is that a 'we can't connect to your blog' page comes up. I'm out of the house now. Have a lovely day! I'll check back later.

oh, and if you click on the (message) link beside my name that doesn't connect, either??

I did it! Weeee!

Jesus Christ, kashmiri, that sounds like it was a hell of a transit.

I've had Pluto conjunctions that were devastating but I've never seemed to notice any of the Neptune squares (no conjunctions - got nothing in Sag-Cap-Aq).   Pluto has been a lot harder on me.

My son was born with a Pluto-battered Moon and he's going to grow up with Neptune pressure. We shall see.    

Definitely Pluto transit. No question. Conjuncted my Cap Moon/Neptune/DC, squared my sun/venus/mars/saturn/jupiter t-square and then it all started. Lost my home, job, car, phone, best friend, love of my life, uncle died suddenly; stalked, lost thousands of dollars in fines/theft/bad deals, lost health insurance. Vultures at work taking stabs at me non-stop, lying, stealing, cheating, manipulating, trying to take credit for my hard work. Lost all my dreams. Pressure in every direction, no support from any visible source, things just kept leaving me. The strangest part?  Nobody knows anything happened. Not my family, not my friends, they think everything is fine. It is as if nothing happened. Now, I have a better apartment, a friend showed up to share it with, my job came back, have a phone, new (and better) opportunities have presented themselves and I'm jumpin' all over'em. Lost all my fears! In a few months, the 2 bullies will be leaving in disgrace, exposed, and I will still be here slowly moving on up. I'm learning to take credit and acknowledge my stuff: time, energy, resources, ideas, presence. Will never be the person I was before. I've learned how to survive like a pro; wherever, whenever, and however I have to :-) 

Not too long ago, I was told by a wise astrologer that I am winding down a very long Pluto transit that took many whacks at all the major areas of my life, during which I lost, in order of occurence:  my 23-year marriage, my home, home life with my children and grandchildren, my life's work, a beloved uncle who was more like a father, and many other relatives from my extended family, my sense of Self, my car (well several cars now that I think of it), another (very short) marriage, my Mother, many, many friends, my faith in my fellow human beings, and it took a while, but I FINALLY lost my anger, bitterness and self-pity over all the losses.  All of this started in 1999 - and boy I'm glad I can see the end of the tunnel, I'll tell you!

((())) to all those who are currently experiencing, still recovering and/or who made it through to the other side of their transits!  The current opposition has me tied down by work and snowed in (literally) but today a bunch of seed catalogs arrived so I've been perusing them on my breaks from the grindstone.  Let's see now, those scarlet runner beans have such pretty flowers . . .

Way to go, AnaBannana! 

My worst transit so far would have to be Pluto transit opposite the ascendant, square my moon. I know you shouldn't say such things, but I would just rather have died than have gone through it. "Friends" told that I was having an affair with a married man with two small children. They repeatedly called his stay at home wife telling her we were having an affair (I was talking to him about my stalker). I never ever touched him, I was just falling to pieces. His wife is now on prescription anti-depressants because she believed them.

So there I was unemployed, 30 pounds overweight, stalked, panic attacks, fear, paranoia, public assault of my reputation. It was so bad, that I seriously considered taking cardboard and ducktaping it over all the windows in my house. I knew that if I did that my friends would have me committed, which would not get me a job or get rid of my stalker or get my reputation back.

You should see me now though! I have the best job ever, my stalker has exposed her own ass for what it really is. Those "friends" can have my reputation I've decided that I don't want or need their approval anymore, I just need my approval.

Yeah, Lupa, I noticed that after I edited my last comment.  *lol*  Too lazy to go back and fix it, though!

 Wow, those have been some rough transits!  I'm amazed at how everyone pulled through...  Life is grand, innit?

You too Peppermint :)

The worst one by far was Neptune opposing my Sun/Mars a few years ago.  Neptune isn't very strong in my chart, so I'm not used to surrendering or anything like that.  Anyway, I have OCD, and that went haywire during the summer of 2004.  I completely lost myself (personality (Sun) becoming submerged (Neptune))...I was depressed, thinking crazy thoughts that wouldn't stop, and completely out of it.  Friends and family were begging me to get to the doctor, and I finally did.  What happened was my hormones were totally out of whack and aggravating the OCD.

I had an earlier bad spell in late 2002, that disappeared after I became pregnant with my last child.  So when the OCD reared its ugly head again, when I was clear enough to think, I pieced together what was going on.  It was interesting that the pregnancy hormones had a positive effect on the OCD, but I'm not the Octo-Mom!  I wasn't going to keep getting pregnant to keep the OCD away.  I went on Paxil (I had an earlier VERY bad trial with Zoloft), and within six weeks, the OCD was gone, and I was back to my normal self--sunny, fiesty, and sometimes a PITA. 

The rest of the transit was dealing with a lot of inappropriate boundaries.  That was nowhere near as bad as the OCD, but it was still aggravating.

Even the Pluto to Sun/Mars transit of my college days was nowhere near as frightening as this one, even though that one ripped me apart.  Uranus transits are always fun and exhilirating for me.  Neptune?  I like having a clear mind and knowing where I stand, so experiencing what was akin to beach erosion by huge waves was like nothing I'd ever experienced, or liked to.  My next major Neptune transit won't happen for a while--Neptune opposing Mercury.  I can wait fot it, believe me!

Wow, you go, everybody!

Human beings are tough.

Pluto transiting my natal Neptune then my natal moon right after.  This was during 2004/2005.  My young marriage almost went in the shitter, very enlightening and really snapped both of us out of our complacency.  Wouldn't have changed a thing in hidsight, although it was painful as hell.

Ahhh!  Oh shit, I'm lying....my Pluto is right ABOUT to transit my natal moon, right around the same time as my Saturn return.  Oh my gosh, kill me now.

But it was transiting Neptune in 2004/2005

neptune on my moon, uranus on my vertex, mars-pluto on my IC, chiron quincunx both my sun and moon (finger of god) from my 12th house...

beaten with a baseball bat, illegally evicted, support from my parents withdrawn, homeless with a baby under two.  a perfect storm.

sounds pretty awful, yes?   within a few years my life was better than it ever was, and I grew in positive ways I never could have imagined.

Neptune just finished a long conjunction with my sun, and that overlaps into my Neptune conjunction with my moon.  I still have a long way to go on my moon.

How long did you guys feel your Neptune transits?  I swear I could feel my sun transit from 10 degrees, so that f'er complicated things for nine years, and my moon is up to similar afflictions.

I just noticed my husband has Neptune conjunctung his Mercury, exact.  Funny we should partner during Neptune conjunction transits.

I felt it pretty far out approaching, but it mellowed when it passed by a few degrees.  I had some other transits which brought things to a head quickly.  it's kind of like, once it really BLOWS it's spent.  you're dealing with the aftermath but that tension is gone.  but hard for me to say cos there were other things involved.

We just got another 14" of snow here, I just got my driveway shoveled out and made it to the post office and the store.  Slippery as an ice rink out there it was fun zooming around corners and having the rear end of the car go sideways - until I saw the snow plow coming and had to straighten out on the ice!  Whee!    I live in a little bitty town where there's almost no traffic, so don't worry I wasn't endangering others, just myself . . .well and maybe the snowplow but that would have cruised right over me and the driver wouldn't have noticed a thing!

 Stopped at the hardware store where the farmers from around here like to sit and have a cup of coffee with the hardware store lady and complain about farming, and when I walked in, stomping and brushing off snow, we all looked at each other and smiled with such relief:  we made it, we got out of the snowbanks that are our houses and driveways, and then we all just laughed at each other because of the synchronicty of what we were feeling - relief!  It was one of those cool moments you get sometimes with other people, it still makes me smile to think of it.

Well that's how I'm starting to feel after that long bad dream that was my pluto transit, like I'm finally out from under, I'm back in the world of the living where it's daylight out and a person can zoom around corners in the soft powdery snow having a little bit of fun . . .even if my back and arms DO ache from shoveling snow!

Just thought I'd post these thoughts for those who are still on the fire - it does and it will get better!

Well, my dad died during my Saturn return- kinda figured that was going to happen. The Saturn square at 21 was pretty up and down. Started out great and then I got punished for dating someone who was in his SR. Hah, it's like I was asking for it or something.

Happily, I'm not due for major evil transits beyond Saturn for a long time. I'm already a trouble magnet as is without 'em.

Thought I might pull this topic back up...  My husband has hard aspects from every outer planet at the moment:

Neptune Conjunct Natal Mercury

Uranus Conjunct Natal Sun in opposition from transiting Saturn.

Pluto Squaring Natal Jupiter/Saturn conjunction

Poor guy is a bit of an unhappy mess, and being the huge skeptic, has no desire whatsoever to hear about his transits and understand that "this too shall pass."

What do you do when the sky conspires against an entire chart?

uggggggh i do know that feeling but i would say endeavour as much as humanely possible to rethink the idea that the sky is conspiring against your chart. 

neptune....transcend... 

Pretend that the universe is here to help.

Tam, reading about your Pluto opposition your Ascendant and square your moon made me angry!

Those "friends" sound fake and dumb! I had one once where he was jealous of me and my family because we were richer than him. WE'RE NOT THAT RICH!

I'm glad it's over for you!

When I was 18 I had Pluto transiting MC, Saturn transiting IC and Uranus entering through the ASC; that was very very hard depression and a radical long-term change in personality. All start when Mars squared both during that time!

Then, in 2006 Pluto conjunted my natal Sun was a very agonizing and challening deep transit (kind of a professional trap).

Now I have another very hard one. Neptune entering my ASC, while both Uranus and Saturn square the Moon and the Sun. This feels a very desolating sense of confusion, with dificult times in family, relationship, being unemployed and having no right direction. I'm also having Saturn return and Pluto-Mars square!!!!!

Short term, Mars transiting ASC or IC are usually the hardest heavy ones for me.

What's the point when you are a very good predicting astrologer but you don't know how to survive these once-in-a-lifetime transits?

How about Pluto transiting my Sag stellium (Uranus, Sun, Neptune, Venus, Mercury) and destroying everything on the way?

I felt 'invisible' and sick. Sick like a dog. My family fell apart, friends just disappeared. Anxiety attacks, nightmares every night, people backstabbing you every chance they get. Yeah, the worst years of my life (18-22). One solution: sleep until it goes away.

Saturn conjunct Natal Pluto

2 of my pet cats died, one killed by dogs, all of my chickens were killed that day too, my boyfriend dumped me, a new guy I met dumped me too.

I was all alone, I got sick and that night Bees invaded my rental home's bathroom (and my landlord wouldn't help me).

three months later I met my future husband!

It IS the darkest before dawn.

Pluto in 2nd opposing Saturn in 8th: barn burned down

Saturn return: first time dealing with my past

Pluto crossing IC: house burned down, grandfather died

Pluto still in 4th: father died suddenly and unexpectedly 

Saturn crossing ASC and a million other heavy transits: really dealing with my past, for real. This last one isn't terrible, it's just heavy.

 I won't say that it was the worst as that is tempting fate

but - do you remember in 2002 when Saturn was Oppose Pluto?  well Pluto was opposing my moon at the time and Saturn came up and conjuncted my moon and all hell broke loose.  In one week a friend died in a car accident, my nephews were born the same hour and the same day, the pipes in the unit above me burst and exploded and took out my ceiling and my floor, I almost got fired, had a terrible allergic reaction to a hepatitis B shot.  It was something.
