It is definitely not easy when Life continues to throw zingers in our way. In these times especially we can thank Uranus for the unexpected interruptions. Since it recently moved into Taurus, it's agenda is to disrupt stability and security.

In many ways it is about 'creating chaos' in an attempt to rattle our cages and break us out of our ruts.
For you it is currently in your 6th H but by next summer, it will cross your DC and begin it's trek through your 7th H
[partnerships and marriage]. In the long run it is about clearing away the dross in life to allow for new beginnings.
When you pay enough attention you will eventually learn that life goes in circles rather than in a straight line. Each of the planets has it own cycles which serve to activate each of the natal patterns in the chart; typically though we fail to recognize the repetitive nature of our experiences.
Take Mars for example; it circles the entire chart every two years and then starts the cycle all over again. At this time it is in retrograde motion until the 27th of the month, and by October will reach a climax point of it's cycle, when it opposes your Mars natal position. This part of the cycle represents a turning point, where you have to look back to where you have been before moving forward to the completion of the cycle. Important change in your direction in life often comes at these times. At the time of your opposition you can think back to changes happening 2 years prior and may be able to note some similar tendencies coming into play.
Recently, on August 11, there was a Solar Eclipse on your Mars; did you notice anything specific happening at that time in terms of it's affliction from Uranus/Neptune and Pluto?
All the planets have similar patterns although they each have a different length for each cycle. There is a purpose for the natal chart being circular in it's layout, when you begin to realize that it is all about patterns repeating themselves, to ensure that we learn the lessons required. Paying attention to these cycles can provide insight into what may lie ahead.
You can learn more about your true path in life by studying the Nodal Axis; for you this entails the polarity between the North Node in Sagittarius [where you are meant to go in life], with the South Node in Gemini with the Sun [what is holding you back.
