Okay, so today I want to talk about something I’ve been going through: the Saturn opposite Moon transit. It’s been… a ride, to say the least. I’m not an astrologer, but I’ve been tracking this stuff for a while, just to see how it plays out in my life, and this one has been pretty intense.
It all started a few months back. I began feeling this heavy, almost oppressive, sense of… responsibility? It’s hard to explain. Like everything was suddenly my problem, and I had to fix it now. I started getting super critical of myself, really nitpicking every little thing I did. My emotions, normally pretty chill, felt raw and close to the surface.
Diving Deep into My Feelings
I’m the type to journal a lot, so the first thing i did was, trying to figure out where it was coming from, I pulled out my old journals. Reading back, I noticed a pattern. I was repeating old habits, specifically, I was shutting down emotionally when things got tough, just like I did as a kid. I Saw it right there in black and white. Classic Saturn, bringing up the old stuff!
The next thing I did was talk to my best friend. You know, the one you can tell anything to? She listened, didn’t judge, and basically just let me vent. It helped to get it all out, to say the things I was afraid to even admit to myself.
- I felt overwhelmed by work.
- I was neglecting my self-care. Totally not eating right or sleeping well.
- I was isolating myself, pushing people away.
Taking Action, One Step at a Time
So, what to do? After acknowledging my feelings, i decided to make small and manageable changes, step by step, I knew I couldn’t fix everything overnight. So, I started with the basics.
First, sleep. I forced myself to go to bed at a reasonable hour, even if I didn’t feel tired. I made my bedroom a “no phone zone” an hour before bed. It made a HUGE difference.
I also started saying “no” to extra commitments. Easier said than done, I know, but I had to. My energy was just too low to handle everything. People understood, surprisingly.
I also started to eat some real meals. I used to grab whatever, whenever. I am really getting into cooking again, which is something I used to love. It’s been great for my mood.
The hardest part, though, was dealing with the emotional stuff. I started seeing a therapist, very helpful. It was tough at first, talking about all the feelings I’d been avoiding, but it’s been incredibly helpful. I’m learning to be kinder to myself, to accept my imperfections, and to deal with my emotions in a healthier way.
The transit is still ongoing, but I feel like I’m finally on the other side of the worst of it. I’m more aware of my patterns, I’m taking better care of myself, and I’m learning to navigate those tough Saturnian energies. It’s not been fun, but it’s definitely been a learning experience. So, if you’re going through this transit too, hang in there! It’s a chance to grow, even if it feels like a real pain in the butt sometimes.
