Transiting Saturn opposite natal Sun can be a draining time because you are more likely to feel weighed down and pessimistic about the challenges and blockages to your progress. These tests which we all go through seem more serious and more numerous during this transit, and are likely make you feel more burdened and restricted in your freedom or self expression. These challenges to your will or ego can come from people who it is very difficult to fight against, such as parents, bosses, anyone with some authority over your life. This is why it can be so frustrating, you have to struggle on through the boring routines even though you may want to break free.
This period can be a low point but it is important to remember that it is probably happening for a reason. It may be that your ambitions are being held back at the moment because the timing is not right. There may be some more lessons or skills to learn so that when this transit passes you are ready to take full advantage of new opportunities. The Sun rules your self esteem and and your ego, so this may be low during this time, better to remain patience, focus on hard work and look after yourself, play it low key for a few months. A time to strengthen your character by facing any adversity head on which will give you more confidence in the future.

Hi
am cusp Aries /Taurus , since last year facing lots of professional problems. when will it end ?
My birthday is April 16th, and 2012 has been a HORRIBLE year! Will
things improve after October 5th?
This is welcome news, my birthday is April 10, horrible year for love too! Looking for things to ease up a little…my moon is in Scorpio, Virgo rising , & venus in Pisces. Thanks!
I’m born April 12th, so experiencing this until October 2012. It’s been a tough ride. I’m self-employed and my sales were cut in half for half the year (also had Mars retrograding my 2nd house, which may have compounded that), and to top off a tough few years with all the important people in my life, one of my best friends (once a potential partner) totally blew up back in August, soon after the Mars / Saturn conjunction, and ended our friendship following months of seething resentment on their part, without any real explanation of what I actually did wrong. It was a relief in a way, because I just couldn’t get to the bottom of it, but left me heartbroken. Energy levels went very low, I do a lot of running, always keep stats and in addition to an ankle injury that’s still lingering from late June my performance is considerably worse than any previously recorded. Fortunately things have improved financially, and I can feel my energy returning slowly, but there’s something that seems very unfinished about the business with my friend, so if there’s any chance we can sort that out when the climate is easier, I’d be really, really happy.
I just realised I have Saturn opposing my Moon now. My moon is at 1 Taurus, so that’ll be exact as soon as Saturn moves into Scorpio. Haha!
Thanks a lot..like you said, very true, I feel totally trapped and frustrated being controlled by parents who are not approving of my first relationship..and inspite of enough trying I had to give up but deep down I feel enforced entrapped which is making moving on all the more difficult as I don’t have the legit reasons to quit it myself…am badly stuck I knw and don’t knw for how long..can’t even believe that it ll be posbl to move on in the real sense…just less apprehensions or sadness is what I can hope the time to bring, post this Saturn transit…
If anyone can help me any further on the readings, am 31st march, 1985 born, 9:10 IST, with Gemini rising I blv…undergoing that nasty Uranus transit, then this Saturn (which am told is leaving 7th house finally)..plus Pluto square Sun…why me?? Am tired ..
9 10 am
I have Moon in Leo and Venus in Aries I believe..
Will Saturn square my Leo Moon..is this going to do any good to me…pls help..
How will Neptune and Sun be related?

I think when Sayurnchanges signs soon they will notice. Particulrly the Taureans with early birthdays.
I just read your other post – Uranus 7th house – no, you won’t have a conventional partner or relationships – but to ease your expectations, ask yourself who makes the rules for conventions? People have all manner of relationships! They are not all about happy families. They work in their own way. Uranus in the 7th needs a lot of space and often finds itself in relationships where they have no choice but to be in that space – when Uranus began to transit my 7th I married someone who travelled a lot and had a lot of problems and had a relationship with someone who was 4,000 miles away from me. I learned to really appreciate my own space! I learned not to be emotionally dependent. Its a good strong place to be in!
Hi Missmudpie,
When I was in ashes, I had to start in a very small place, doing small things everyday. I could not dream of being in liberty, or to accomplish my dreams. I felt broken. Myself, was a good way to start. With small things, very little. Liking me and giving me the best I could, knowing I could not very much. Do you have inner child workshops there where you live? That would be a good start! And sorround yourself with water, white and yellow flowers. Go to nature. BE with yourself. Then… things might be looked at from different perspectives.
Good luck!
Rocío.
That is excellent advice Rocio!
Nice meeting you over here, UQW!
Rocío.
Just to bump it..seems nobody noticed this topic..
@ UQOW
I basically am afraid coz I read somewhere that u7 people don’t have happy relationships..they have difficulte relationships in their life wch made me feel paranoid…the transit is as such coz I have been anything but paranoid in my life until I experience this negativity, frustration, unable to control my life no matter hw much I want to, feeling doomed and blog that things are going to worsen only, everyday is passing like a living hell the moment am left alone even for a second..am scred and totlly unwilling to enter any relationship now…am full of pprehenions…
Bless you missmudpie, it’s awful having feelings like this. But don’t give up! You’ve got yourself into a negative loop. Thoughts and beliefs set up reactions inside and a cycle of fears and frustrations follows.
You can get free of this.
Ask yourself where you want to go with what you believe about life and relationships. Control is not always possible, at times, surrender is better and acceptance of what you can’t control. U7 I has it’s upside. You learn not to be a captive and not to hold people captive. You learn to find yourself and not be moulded into another’s shape. This is a base which has huge value. It may not feel that way yet. Have you considered hypnotherapy to break negative thought patterns? You don’t have to be at the mercy of overpowering emotions. Uranus in 7 can teach you mastery and how to reach your real individuation.
Don’t believe every thing you read! saying “Uranus in the 7th is unhappy relationships” is just bad and lazy astrology. I have it in the 4th, does that mean an unhappy domestic life, or relationship with father? Unhappy sometimes, but isn’t everyones occasionally?, UNUSUAL, eccentric oh yes! But my Uranus squ AC loves it.
You actually NEED unusual relationships, space and all the things UQW said, subconsciously you are attracting and looking for people who give you that. If you had a guy who was possessive and wanted you 24/7 believe me you would soon be screaming to get out of it.
Jamie and I have Uranus in the 7th. Ofcourse we met on mySPACE, it is long distance, we are Astrologers, we are individuals, bla bla all good Uranian stuff. Bad we are separated by 10000 miles, we hope it won’t be forever. We hope to prove that Uranus in the 7th doesn’t mean permanent separation.
I believe we have to spend this time apart 1st in order for us and our children to individuate. We have had co-dependant relationships in the past. I think the Universe has to make sure we are do not fall into that trap again before we join full time. Maybe this is the same for you missmudpie? That is the lesson of Uranus in the 7th. Its not a “bad thing”. NOTHING in anyones chart is a “bad thing” if one is conscious of it and works hard at ones own souls evolution. It’s a gift. I really believe that!
The feeling that I my not get what is appropriate for me..the space or whatever it is..is killing..I will hv to live with it though..just cnt bring up myself on terms with this fact…
Thanks all for their insight into this matter and help..
missmudpie
Seems it’s a very challenging time for you, with all these intense feelings coming up. I believe searching for a good therapist in your area and speaking with him/her may well take much of the pressure off; it’ll give you space to breathe and see where you want to go from there. And I also think Rocío’s advice is really nice.
Oh, those times when we are like in a vertiginous tornado, ah, missmudpie!
We all have live them, and they may appear in the most unexpected moment. Life is a great master and sometimes takes the floor under our feet away, so we may know a bit better who we are and how we do things.
Then, we have to know better, in order to find our way to stabilize us. Now, in your notes, I recon a tone which is much more in contact with your self. For me, writing is very useful, when I feel this unmanagment of my inner forces, emotions, passions, feelings… what a mix! My responses related to the outside situations.
The task of every day! I finally found out that this is life, and this is the best way to live it: reflecting, considering earth to bring dreams come true, avoid flying high and loosing ground, avoid staying in the dark and loosing myself in my own laberynths! Oh boy! That is for me being with my self: supporting me, standing me and for me.
Nature, it´s cycles, it´s freshness, has helped me a lot: it is conforting, it reflects my own forces, is shows me my inner movements. It is so much for me!
I wish you well and please know that we, everyone, has passed through this dark period of the soul, which shows me where and when I loose control. And by reflecting, how to regain it step by step, little by little, with effort and patience!
Good luck and it´s been great to find UQW, Marina and Kacey. Thanks, missmudpie for opening this opp. for us!
Would you think therapy would suit you? Or a group, or some workshops? To recover and maintain your own inner core?
Much luck!
(within this space I find so much and profound wisdom! Don ´t you feel the same? I study the whole thing and reflect it with my life experiences and my every day life!).

Have no words to say thanks and see the support everybody’s giving..have become kind of needy off-lately which is bothersome but feel something’s to be dealt in anyway posbl and I have to deal with it..have to be stronger and blv in myself..strength doesn’t come easy, it comes and goes..hope to be stronger and emerge out of all this.. If the need rises I may ask for a group therapy session…day with patients, seeing their misery sometime takes mind off those intense emotions.. Il watch this space for more soon and frequently now..again have no words at thoughtful people loud here..
Hope! Faith!m/
I am finding this period of life transformational. Loving it – now. Saturn is currently opposite my sun (orb 3), but saturn is also exactly conjunct Black moon lillith (orb 0). Initially was very difficult when the opposition was exact (orb 0) and the losses piled up as the transit activated… losses of friends & vocation. Big, eh?! However, as transit has progressed I have shed many beliefs – which at first was very fast and tough – but now have transformed and loving the space and pause in life that’s been created. Feel stronger and happier now that some illusions have been dispelled about people and the world. Thank you Saturn Opposite Sun. LOL.
My daughter’s got this going on at the same time as Saturn square her ascendant. She’s feeling very stuck and alone but is focussing on her studies. I’m just worried about her health because of the ascendant square – she suffered very badly when Saturn transited the empty Libran arm of her Mercury/Mars/Neptune Cardinal T-square, she was prescribed an antidepressant, which made her feel worse, took two overdoses and was eventually found to have bipolar disorder. Medical care was a shambles.New moons on her ascendant and sun were flashpoints when she ended up in hospital.
Thankfully she won’t have to revisit that one until 2040, but I am really nervous about this current transit.
