Chart is attached.
I'm a Virgo Rising with my Ascendant Ruler (Mercury) conjunct Saturn and Mars in the 8th house. I know that Saturn conjunct the ascendant/ascendant ruler will cause restrictions and limitations.
I've been dealing with it my entire life and it just won't let up. Absolutely nothing is happening in my life! I cannot find a job and I'm introverted thus do not have a social life. Everyday feels like Groundhog Day because it is just the same monotony over and over again. I'm restricted and can't actually live a happy life no matter how much I try to come close to achieving it. I can feel that Saturnian energy blocking me every step of the way.
For anyone able to read my chart/progressions etc. do you see this ever letting up and some positivity coming into my life? For some reason nothing in my solar return charts or lunar return charts have actually crystallized into reality. Earlier this year I had Jupiter conjunct my DSC and transit Uranus conjunct the asteroid Destin (Destiny) and nothing happened. Even when major transits occur in my chart, nothing happens.
I'm honestly ready to give up on life. As you can see I have a very difficult chart (my ascendant ruler is located in the 29th degree of Pisces in my 8th house...nuff said) and it has taken it's toll on me. I didn't have an easy childhood and even my adulthood has been full of disappointments and setbacks. :-(
If you want us to read transits and progressions - we need your birth data to pull up your chart - or - you need to post transits and progressions.
It's true that I've seen people with Saturn in in the 8th have some difficulty working with their emotional life to make changes. I don't know that it has to be that way - but - to affirm what you're saying - yes, I have seen this placement make life more difficult for people.
That said, Saturn can give you great focus, much wisdom, and maturity. I don't think it has to be limiting. But let's look at your chart more deeply.
I also have Virgo rising with Sun, Mars and Mercury in the 8th in Aries. So we actually have quite a lot in common. I also have a Sag Moon in the 4th (instead of your Pluto in Sag in the 4th) - and Venus in Taurus in the 9th.
Your Scorpio IC suggests that your family might have boundary issues. It doesn't always mean that - but sometimes it does. Is it true for you? Do you feel defined by your family - have you been made to feel responsible for some family problems? Pluto is in house of home and family too - and Pluto in Sag can mean that you are judged by family. Virgo rising people are prone to being unfairly blamed.
You could be working on trying to change this unfair judgment your self-identity - due to the past life. You were a leader and a warrior in the past life. Leaders do in fact have to make decisions that affect other people - and they make enemies. You can't please everyone - and - every decision made for the good of the whole can always be bad for some. So, you were probably judged in the past life. You could have been imprisoned - because of it - Pisces on the 8th cusp of your South Node ruler - Mars. Whatever happened - you were made miserable by it. You may suffer from some guilt that you need to work through in this life. Saturn can imply guilt, and so can Virgo.
You know, you are quite young still. Sometimes, we have to do some serious inner work before we feel like we can live our lives as we'd like. I had to get therapy before I could move forward. I'm not saying that's a requirement for you, but, sometimes a good therapist can really help a lot.
With a Libra North Node in 2nd house - you really need to have good energy around you - people who can be nurturing to you - people who can help you build upon your strengths - and give you honest feedback you can use. With your Virgo rising, you need to analyze yourself to understand yourself - and others. Your Moon is strong on the MC in Taurus - so you need a peaceful environment - a pleasant environment - and you'd do well to be in nature. Your Moon is in a very social realm - so - it probably feels quite vulnerable there. It could make you feel more introverted. Taurus doesn't necessarily pay a whole lot of attention to feelings either - as it's an earth sign.
All but your Moon is on the right side of the chart. Your attention and focus is on other people - how they impact you and affect you - and how you impact and affect them. You could turn your attention on who you are without the attention on other people. Being alone probably feels better than being very social. And yet - you are focused on the social life.
I think you need to choose a profession where you don't have to socialize so much. You do need to tune into yourself - to know who you are from the inside out. Aries is about independence. Aries doesn't care what other people think. So, even if you are focused on the right side of the chart - you have the ability to see yourself as a separate individual - and this is the whole point of being an Aries Sun.
Anyway, I hope this helps a little in furthering your self-understanding.
