In simple words....this is because you are going through a 11 house Saturn transit. Your hopes and dreams as well as your friends are going through a scrutiny. Don't worry, Saturn will make sure what is good for you remains, whatever goes away of your life now, whatever you lose...they were infact not useful for you. They were dead stuff you were carrying on your back. I know this is for sure as I am going through the same transit, we have the same ascendant!!
But trust me...worst is yet to come. Soon we are going to go through our 12 house Satrun transit, everyone thinks this is the the worst transit of one's life!! Next 2 and half years are testing time for us. I have tried to eqquipped myself as best as I could for this transit. But I am still very worried and is not looking forward to welcome the Lord of Karma to my 12th house.
I would suggest you to do some research on Saturn's trnaist through 12 house.
