Okay, so I’ve been noticing some, shall we say, interesting energy lately, and I finally figured out what it might be: Saturn square Venus transit. I’m not a professional astrologer, just someone who likes to dabble and track how these cosmic events seem to play out in my life. So, here’s how I went about dealing with this one.
Recognizing the Vibes
First off, things just felt… off. My usually-pretty-good relationships felt strained. It was like everyone was speaking a different language, and minor disagreements turned into major frustrations. It felt like it’s hard to get what I wanted. I even started to get cold feet before my date. What a bummer!
I also noticed I was being way harder on myself than usual. You know, that inner critic voice? It was LOUD. Everything I did felt inadequate, and I was second-guessing all my choices, especially around spending and creative projects. It felt like an uphill battle.
Digging into the Research (aka Googling Frantically)
So, I did what any self-respecting, slightly-panicked person would do: I googled “Saturn square Venus transit effects.” Tons of stuff came up, some of it super doom-and-gloom, some of it more helpful. I’m a layman, so I try to keep it simple.
The general gist was that this transit is about facing limitations and restrictions in areas ruled by Venus: love, relationships, money, values, beauty. And Saturn? Well, Saturn is like that strict teacher who makes you do your homework, whether you like it or not. It’s about discipline, responsibility, and facing reality.
My “Action Plan” (More Like, “Trying to Stay Sane”)
Okay, so knowing what I was potentially dealing with, I tried to be a bit more mindful about how I approached things. Here’s what I did, more or less:
- Communication Check-Ins: Instead of letting things fester, I made a conscious effort to talk things out with the people I was feeling disconnected from. It wasn’t always easy, and sometimes it felt awkward, but it did help clear the air. Some of the talks were simple. Some of them were so hard that I had lump in my throat.
- Self-Compassion, Baby: I tried to be extra kind to myself. Instead of beating myself up for not being “perfect,” I focused on acknowledging my efforts and celebrating small wins. I mean, I got out of bed and put on pants. That’s a win some days!
- Budgeting (Ugh): I’m usually pretty good with money, but this transit made me feel extra cautious. I reviewed my spending, made sure I wasn’t going overboard on unnecessary things, and focused on saving a bit more. It felt… responsible. Grown-up, even.
- Creative Breaks: I’m a creative person, and this transit was making me doubt my abilities. Instead of forcing myself to create masterpieces, I took breaks, did some mindless doodling, and just let myself play without pressure.
- Journaling: I wrote down a lot of my messy feelings. It’s not pretty, but it helped me process the frustration and self-doubt.
The Outcome (So Far…)
Honestly, it’s still a work in progress. These transits don’t just magically disappear overnight. But, I do feel like I’m navigating things a bit better. I’m more aware of the potential challenges, and I’m trying to be more proactive in addressing them. It’s not about avoiding the difficulties, but about learning to work with them. I’m also more forgiving, both to myself and to others.
I guess the biggest takeaway is that these astrological events can be a heads-up, a chance to be a little more mindful and intentional in how we approach life. It’s not about predicting the future, but about understanding the energies at play and using that knowledge to make (hopefully) better choices. And sometimes, just knowing you’re not alone in feeling a bit off is enough to make it all a little more bearable.
