I have to say....I love your responses, tsmall....easy for me to understand and to the point...LOVE THAT!
Well thank you.
So....Saturn is the planet for me to keep an eye on, aye? Well I love a challenge....keeps life interesting.
You mentioned that Saturn would next travel through my 4th house and I'm very curious to know what lessons that will stir up for me. I don't have any planets in that house so maybe it won't be tooooo trying, although that house is the intense Scorpio.
TSaturn is currently at 8*Scorpio. He is exactly opposing your natal Venus. Next he will apply to a square with your natal ASC, then to a trine Natal Jupiter. Saturn is active for you this year because he is in your second house natal, and your annual profection for this year brings the 2nd to the 1st.
My suggestion to you would be to search for these transit aspects, but then to try to imagine how Saturn, as ruler of your natal 6th and 7th houses and exaltation ruler of your 3rd, will affect these houses by his position in the 4th. Did you read the link I gave you to Susan Miller's tutorial? Despite what the free chart reading at astro.com has to say, a house with no planets in it will still be important. Planets in houses have more bearing on those houses than the rulers will (posession is 9/10 of the law, right?) but empty houses are not at all uncommon. In that case the house will rely soley on it's rulers, and their condition, to be read.
When transit Saturn conjuncts my natal moon is Sag, how will that affect my grand fire trine? When was the last time Sat transited my natal moon?
Again, I'm not the best person to ask about aspect patterns, and I am the posessor of a GT in earth myself. Mostly it really doesn't help me understand my chart anybetter, until I take the aspects separately. But there are other members here who maybe have more insight...although when I first started learning and posed those same questions the answers I got were along the lines of "the energy in a GT is somewhat lazy and taken for granted." I don't get that at all...but if you look at the aspects themselves (the individual trines) then you can learn something.
Maybe my lessons from Saturn are for me not to always see the goodness of situations because that's how I've ALWAYS looked at life's situations; what knocks me down emotionally is the realisation of how relationships truly aren't as wonderful, giving & caring as I delusion myself to think they should be. The older I get the more I know that the only person I can truly count on is God and myself. I honestly do feel that I am a lot tougher & cautious than I was when I was younger but I have to also say that I don't really like being this way....I liked being naive, playful & childlike. I miss those days tremendously.
Well based only on what you have shared here, it looks like you've been given those lessons for a long time. And I'm sure someone would find a way to bring Neptune into the disillusionment part. Since I don't work with Neptune...
With all these lessons that seem to have been going on most of your life, when were you playful and child-like? If you had to pick a time when you started realizing that the world wasn't the way you wanted it to be?
For that I am going to point back to all those dignified planets you have, and the reason I said before that trials might be harder for you than some others. Especially your exalted Sun...there might be certain expectations that things will just be handed to the native, even if the rest of the chart does not bear that out.
So, my lessons from Saturn traveling through my 12 houses is probably teaching me not to look at life through rose-colored glasses, which is what I meant in an earlier post when I said 'bright & sunny'. I have experienced many hard issues in life but I've always moved forward feeling blessed and thankful for the hard lessons because these lessons have made me a better person in some way or another. My mother died when I was around 8; Dad remarried when I was 12 resulting in an secretly abusive stepmother to Dad's children; I ran off to marry at 19 to a man who wouldn't work much & was a bit abusive/neglectful & then a dead-beat dad to our sons; etc, etc... I could write a few novels with some of the experiences ...but I have to say that every single lesson has made me a better person and I like who I am. The one lesson that I'm still working through and am still trying to forgive is the lessons involving the traumatic death of my son, not his death as much as the issues & people surrounding his death.
Exactly. Bad things happen to good people all the time. I do not know enough about the situation with your son and grandson to really be able to comment, but the very little that I have looked at your chart suggests that you have just struck on the key message here. We cannot control what other people do. We can only control how we react to what other people do, and try to understand why they are doing it. It is good that you like who you are. Because if you like yourself, it does seem to make it easier to try to understand other people.
Maybe I should make a timeline of my 12 houses as Saturn traveled through them... I enjoy reading your thoughts about my chart and life in general so please feel free to ask me any questions about my situations and to also analyse my planet traffic...as I posted earlier, I love to learn...my mind questions everything.

What is the significance of my kite? Is it a good helpful thing or does it make life harder?

This is a most excellent idea. To answer an earlier question in your post, Saturn takes roughly 29 years to transit the zodiac. You can check an ephemeris (just google it and you will find several online) to see when Saturn was last conjunct your Moon. As to the kite...well...again...not the right student to ask.
