When our lives change in big ways, we tend to lose people. At least I do. Not everyone can come along for the rest-of-our-lives ride. I remember when my mother died, I lost a close friend. She stopped coming around and that made me angry. I wrote her a note. She wrote me one back and cut up my note into little pieces. She had big loopy artsy handwriting. (I actually had something else to say about her here, but I edited it out.)
Anyway (smile), when our lives change, we lose people. It seems like it’s part of the deal, part of the pruning. Transiting Saturn squaring my 11th House of friends assures this for me at the moment but it’s bigger than that. It’s the way… losing works. Yes, losing. I like these words that have lousy meanings: losing, loser, failure. I embrace them. I give them candy.
So I look around at who is in my life and I wonder who’s next, who won’t make it, who’s left?
I was writing to someone this morning, telling him that even in my worst transits, I didn’t lose EVERYTHING. I may have lost *almost* everything but that almost MATTERS and is the difference between life and death. And some people? They just keep on falling.
Thinking about my life right makes me think of playing darts even though I’ve never played darts in my life. You take a shot. That’s it. And you hope for the bullseye.
What about you? What did your WORST transit leave behind? What was spared?

Facing worst fears + learning to let go of what I can’t control has been the main theme for me.
Thanks for the tips! Research starts tomorrow 😉
Remember: take it easy as you face all them fears… like, don’t eat all the apple at once!
Thanks Aliza. Glad you survived to tell the tale!
“PS Pluto in 6th = you *can* get better. You recreate every cell.” Glad you say this! The docs don’t know the reason for my illness. I have neptune in scorpio in the 5th. I read somewhere that these people are hard to diagnose? I’m ‘trying’ healing meditation and looking for alternative ways of healing myself.
I did survive and life got better – but I had to walk through a tunnel of shit. Not fun.
6th House Neptune can often be mysterious illness/hard to diagnose. All the planets have associations with bodyparts or systems – maybe there’s some correspondances u can match up – w/ a transit(s)
I am dealing with a mysterious skin thing myself. Had it last year during winter. It went away. Now it’s back and it ain’t winter. Frustrating.
I’m an Edgar Cayce fan who in readings spoke of many many remedies. Worth looking into. Maybe there’s a Cayce center in ur area.
Oh, and the hangs man always show up in my tarot readings! Sometime I think my saturn transits are about learning to just let go and accept and work with what is. That is work for me (virgo central :-))
Makes sense to me, Amberjane…
Wow- me too, same here with illness (4years, am now slowly getting over it) and losing friends. But gaining friends too. I was so upset when some of my ‘best’ friends didn’t show up. I am now rebuilding some of these friendships in a different fashion. Some I am still not sure about. That was saturn transiting natal saturn mercury (square neptune), then transiting sun (still square neptune), and now pluto! Saturn conjunction pluto is exact in one hour! And what a day it has been! Then once it clears pluto, onto mars, venus and uranus. Oh yes, It’s saturn season alright! I have a couple of years of hard work cut out for me. I also have pluto transiting the 6th.
I wish you much strength, Amberjane. Saturn asks that of us. And positivity. Find some Sagittarius folk to help u forget 🙂
Wow…that’s interesting…thank you Moon 🙂
Ok so if that transit takes things and people away do they come back… ???It seems as though some people that left my life twenty or so years ago are trying to come back into it…what is the transit or thought..??Also now if things or people go will they come back …??Can you write something on what’s going on here…??
Sometimes retrogrades or transits to the South Node will bring people from our past.
As for whether people who go, will they come back? It depends. No one size fits all. Depends on their life/chart too.
Same as you ((MM)). Ill health has caused many losses over the past 2.5yrs including friends. I was so very upset about this but my illness got life threatening and I realised how wonderful my true friends and family are. Started when saturn conj pluto conj ic, then uranus + moon opp chiron. Now nearing jupiter. Then he will be out of my 4th house. Also pluto transitting 6th.
Those are TOUGH tough transits hey macarena. I also had Saturn conjuc. For me, Uranus opposed Saturn too (both transiting). What a time that was. Total breaking down of structures.
Out of your 4th House sounds GOOD to me.
As a Cancer, I don’t like any planet in my 4th. When Jupiter was there, I moved but it wasn’t a good move, etc etc etc.
I wish you well and good health always. (((hm))))
PS Pluto in 6th = you *can* get better. You recreate every cell.
This resonates.
In the two years I’ve been out of action for health reasons and unable to put so much energy into friendships as I once did (there isn’t much left over after survival on some days) several people have simply stopped calling or visiting. Silence.
But god, do I appreciate the two or three who have hung in there.Our relationships have deepened and it seems to me a thread of pure gold now runs through them.
Saturn transiting my 12th/Ascendant/1st and squaring most of my personal planets and conjuncting Neptune during this period has forced me to declutter – not just stuff around the house (which I’ve been doing masses of lately) – but also people. And where I haven’t been willing or able in the past to let go of the hangers on and the relationships that were existing on habit or guilt or illusion, Saturn has now stepped in and done it for me. Just like that.
So my Christmas card list has dwindled a bit. But that’s OK. And I do believe that Life abhors a vacuum. So who knows who or what is coming down the line to fill the gap. But I won’t let politeness or habit or guilt or fantasy dictate my responses next time around. I hope.
And btw The Hanged Man speaks to me at the moment. Thanks for reminding me of his message …..
mm, friendships DO take a tremendous amount of energy. People don’t talk about that much but it is true! And only some people understand the energy thing… i.e. not having enough energy to work on the friendship.
I’m happy for you though, for the gold 🙂
And you’re welcome. Thank u for commenting. Glad the card spoke to you. It spoke to me too,which is why I used it. I wish I had some BETTER emoticons but all I have is this 🙂
My worst transit has left behind the mask of an old identity. What was spared was my life, my body.
Then that is where you must begin, where you had to begin. From the bottom 🙁
