Okay, so, let’s talk about astrology. I’ve been messing around with this stuff for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s a wild ride. I started looking into it ’cause, you know, life’s been throwing some curveballs, and I wanted to see if the stars had any answers. Turns out, they kinda do, but it’s not always what you wanna hear.
First off, I had to figure out what a “transit” even is. Apparently, it’s when planets in the sky move into different positions relative to your birth chart. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. It’s like the universe is playing chess, and we’re the pawns. Some of these transits are chill, but others? They’re like a cosmic kick in the pants.
My First Hard Transit
My first run-in with a tough transit was a doozy. I was feeling all out of sorts, things were going sideways at work, and my relationships felt like they were on the rocks. I checked my chart, and boom – Saturn was squaring my Moon. Now, I’m no expert, but even I knew that wasn’t good. It was like the universe was telling me to get my act together, but also making it as hard as possible. Saturn, for anyone who’s new to this, is kinda like the strict dad of the planets. Discipline, responsibility, all that jazz. And the Moon? That’s your emotions, your inner self. So, yeah, not a fun combo.
Trying to Deal with It
So, what did I do? Well, I tried a bunch of things. I read somewhere that helping others can make tough transits easier. It sounds corny, but I started volunteering at a local shelter. It didn’t magically fix everything, but it did give me some perspective. I also tried donating to a few charities, ’cause why not? Every little bit helps, right?
I also got into gemstones. I know, I know, it sounds a bit “woo-woo,” but I was desperate. I picked up a few stones that were supposed to help with Saturn transits – things like black tourmaline and smoky quartz. I carried them around, meditated with them, the whole nine yards. Did they work? I’m not sure, but it felt good to be doing something proactive. It was like, I’m not just gonna sit here and let the universe mess with me, I’m gonna do my part too. I also started meditating by listening to some music, and doing some special Vedic ceremonies.
And there was that time when Venus and Jupiter were getting cozy in the sky. That was wild, I could feel luck on my side and started appreciating the small things. I even felt more sociable, which is a big deal for me. Those two planets together? Pure magic. It was easier to see the good stuff and feel thankful. It felt like a cosmic pat on the back. I even celebrated achievements and started some creative projects I’d been putting off.
Learning and Growing
But then came another tough one, a Great Conjunction thing where Jupiter and Saturn aligned. That was a real shakeup. Everything felt heavy and it felt like the universe was forcing me to deal with parts of myself I’d been avoiding. But, you know what? I got through it. It wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. I had a chance to see who I really was and started making the changes. It was tough, but I came out stronger.
The thing about these hard transits is, they’re not just there to make your life miserable. I mean, they kinda do, but they also push you to grow. It’s like the universe is saying, “Hey, you’ve got some stuff to work on, and I’m gonna make sure you do it.” It’s tough love, but it’s love nonetheless.
- Moon Saturn Conjunction, Opposition: This one hit me hard. It was like an emotional rollercoaster, and not the fun kind. I felt restricted, anxious, and just down in the dumps.
And the 8th and 12th house transits? Don’t even get me started. Those are like the deep, dark corners of your soul. They bring up all the stuff you’ve been trying to hide, even from yourself. It’s isolating, it’s scary, but it’s also necessary. You can’t run from your shadows forever.
So, yeah, that’s my experience with hard astrological transits. It’s been a bumpy road, but I’ve learned a lot. I’m still learning, actually. And the journey continues, I guess I’m more prepared for whatever the universe throws my way. Or at least, I hope I am.
