Okay, so I’ve been going through this Saturn square Saturn transit, and let me tell you, it’s been… a process. I figured I’d share my experience, just in case anyone else is feeling the cosmic squeeze.
It all started a few months back. I started noticing this heavy feeling, like a constant pressure. Not physical, more like… emotional and mental. I felt stuck. Really stuck. Like, wading-through-mud stuck.
My usual routines, the things that normally brought me joy, just felt… blah. My yoga practice? Couldn’t get into it. My favorite coffee shop? The coffee tasted like dirt. Even hanging out with friends felt draining. I just wanted to crawl under a blanket and sleep for a year.
Digging Deeper
Being the astrology nerd I am, I checked my chart. Lo and behold, Saturn was squaring my natal Saturn. Basically, the planet of responsibility and limitations was having a showdown with my… well, my inherent sense of responsibility and limitations.
So, I started journaling. A lot. I just dumped everything out onto the page – all the frustrations, the fears, the self-doubt. It wasn’t pretty, but it helped me see some patterns.
- I was holding onto old beliefs that weren’t serving me anymore.
- I was resisting change, big time.
- I was neglecting some serious self-care.
Once I’d recognized it, I started to work with it instead of just resisting the whole thing. Then, I forced myself to go back to yoga, even when I didn’t feel like it. I made time for quiet meditation, even if it was just five minutes. And I started saying “no” to things that drained my energy, and “yes” to things that felt genuinely good. I called old friends and family more often.
The Shift
It wasn’t overnight, of course. It was more like a slow, gradual thaw. The heaviness started to lift, bit by bit. I started to feel more… grounded. More clear. More… me.
I’m still in the middle of this transit, but I can honestly say I’m feeling stronger for it. I’ve shed some old skin. I’ve clarified my priorities. I’ve learned to be kinder to myself. I’m feeling good.
So, if you’re going through your own Saturn square Saturn transit, hang in there. It’s tough, but it’s also an opportunity for some serious growth. Just remember to be patient with yourself, and don’t be afraid to ask for support. You got this!
