I am in total agreement with R4VEN. The alignments you have show that the inner life is needing the attention.
As I suspected, and as I said, there may be several other things going on that I don't see without the chart. Progressed Venus is in the mix, soon to be Conjuncted by Transitting Saturn... it really behooves you to get JANUS 4.0, really it does, because I didn't see that when I looked, I mean, I see it's there.... but it's so hard to see with astro.com. I wish I could show you what I see on my screen, it's set up in like a Tri-Wheel Format where the inner wheel is Natal, the next wheel out is Secondary Progression (based on today's progressions), and the very outer of the 3 wheels is the Transit Chart for today...
What's more, is that when a planet transits a natal point, or even a Progressed Point... all other alignments that are "considered" when you account for the Orb Rules that are in place for them (6 degrees between any Natal Planets (any angle), 10 degrees for Sun or Moon (Conjunction, Sextile, Square, Trine, Opposition only), 3 degrees for any Eclipse Points but by only Conjunction, Square or Opposition...).... those transitted planets are sort of "gateways" to other natal planets, so ... really,.... it's as if an entire story is unfolding under ONE general transit.
It's like, BAM -- you had the Saturn Transit to your Natal Saturn.... but what ELSE did it touch??? Well.... it spun into the whole "Natal" story that was promised to you - a life that is lived in pride and hiding from your true emotions, holding you back from truly giving it your all to the Lord and paying attention to your inner needs. This conflict is SO freakin' common... that you are NOT alone, and all you need to do is reach out your hands and say, "OK... take this pain, Universe/Jesus/Allah/Lord/Nature/WhateverTheChosenHigherPowerIs..." I find music VERY comforting. I like this particular song because of the soul found in her voice when I'm drudging through my tears and pain--- of course, if you don't like her voice (a lot of people complain she sounds like a man), then... well.... poop on you. But, music for a Saturn in 12th House transit is EXCELLENT. Anything that communicates subtly to the subconscious mind to "keep going", "keep at it", "you're almost there, don't give up", ... has great power because the 12th House speaks to our most subconscious self---- it will dominate the rest of the playing field... it's the "background structure" that you've been ignoring. Had you HAD a more balanced, moderate lifestyle, that considered those inner needs.... ahem....!!!..... (and this isn't a coulda-woulda-shoulda-cry-my-eyes-out club here when I say this)..... then you wouldn't BE in this very predicament, and this would have been rather a more stable, accomplishment-oriented time period. A lot of people get promoted under Saturn-Sun transits! So, you are just getting promoted in a different way-- promoted to a position in life where you can start taking your inner needs more seriously.

I know I recommended that video before to someone... LOL. It's very strong. It speaks to Saturn in 12th House in my mind.
Now, all that garbage: that don't pay the bills.
What's the true message. Stay CLEAR.
What are you looking at right now? Are you wasting your moments with this astrology site? When you're NOT here... are you wasting your time sitting there in cry-mode? Get out a notepad, write it all out... get frustrated, get mad, angry, GET IT OUT OF YOU..... then.... you pick up the phone and find any opportunity to distract yourself from unnecessary wasting of your time and energy in depression. It will change.
If you want the astrological climate for fun and ease--- NO. This is not a time for having fun. In fact, Mars transits in opposition to your Natal Sun and Progressed Venus. It also squares Natal Moon. It is almost about to Square your Progressed Mars which has past into your natal 4th House. After a day or so of these transits, you might feel like listening to this instead:

.... it's time to live, revolution action! That's Mars crossing into 7th house, by the way.... **teee heee**!!!! Mars in Aries... Jupiter in Aries... in 7th House, around the same time period,... May might be interesting as far as WHO you might meet.... it might at least get things started as far as finding employment. You may have to settle for less for the intermediate, take the part-time job get get into the full-time.... if it hurts your unemployment, okaaaay, you have to weigh things out.... but it does look good to an employer that you're at least hired and not just sulking around and living off welfare and not doing anything about it.... find SOMETHING to do in the period, or you will go nuts. Volunteer your time maybe with Motor Meals??
Saturn conjuncting Progressed Venus will be a period of conservation though. Materially, and obviously (duh), it won't be a pretty time with the financial sector.... it will be about blocking yourself from certain aesthetic needs (particularly for financial reasons)... so find your artistic outlets in what you can.... find beauty in the basic- Saturn is very dry, so you might even discover a very cheap art form or an appreciation at least for art that "gets back to basics", or maybe like "trash art".... it's not elaborate, pay $800 for this painting, type of art appreciation...
Without looking, I'm wondering if your Progressed Mercury recently went Direct from a retrograde?? It's in the same position as your Natal Mercury right now.... so it must have went retrograde then direct,.... I would get yourself an ephemeris and look at the progressions... that sometimes indicates a change in the mind, the way you think... things may be adjusting themselves, sort of like a dog shakes off the water after a bath... The Great Balancing!!! When left in auto-pilot, our life eventually catches up with us and shakes us out of our crystallizations... don't let it get to that point. This is a NEW DAY.
This was something I went to church yesterday and discovered about Easter, I really didn't look at it like that... whatever your belief, there is usually a symbolism that you can "bury" the past, and create a new day for yourself.... that's exactly what it's like in this chart. You're coming out seasonally from the Winter, INWARD.... and into the Spring, NEW, OUTWARD..... so this really is a new day.
Neptune transitting Venus will be the next story/chapter in your life.... now don't get into get-rich-quick-schemes!!!! It recommends that you be smart with your finances. You'll probably meet a smart financial advisor (in whatever form he or she comes) in the next day or so that will revolutionize your way of handling your resources.... Venus transits natal Saturn.... Uranus is close to transitting Saturn, so you've got a lot more going on too.... there is obviously an elder you're breaking from, or there are some "older" structures (in whatever form they may be) being taken away. If you're facing foreclosure, ****, be smart with what you have, pick up and don't look back. These transits are freedom, this isn't "I'm losing out..." this is creating a new freedom in your life, and I hope you're smart enough to see that. Also, are there pets? Is there problems for the furry creatures, then?? That could be the credo.... in which case, there may be some attention to take care of them (or rather, I would think this was ALREADY a past/previous issue..... because Mars over those points may have coincided some minor irritations in March/April)....
I'd say, look forward to new energies in May here.
Everything happens for a reason. Look at the last 3 years of Eclipses and see what happens yet... I think there was an Eclipse that oppposed your Natal Moon --- Yaay! That is good for new openings, even by Opposition... there was one that aligned with your Natal Sun-Moon to help take away attention from all THAT imbalance and "complete" a missing link, as I'm lookin'....... did you meet someone from your past that sort of opened doors or answered some questions you had about your life, or.... I dunno... just feels rather positive but marked by difficulties-- eclipses take things away and bring new things in (guaranteed)... March/April were all about balancing, pulling you towards what you needed to focus on that was "missing" in life... are you paying attention to it though, or are you still ignoring your deeper inner, more familial needs?
Also, people find out they are diagnosed with certain afflictions they hadn't really paid attention to, under the types of transits you have. If you're AT ALL CONCERNED that you're, ... for example, an underlying depressive-disorder that you've "shrugged off" by excessives in the outer life (buying the car, buying the house, obsessed with shopping, gambling away your resources, etc...), or dealing with alcoholism, ... or dealing with a chest pain that isn't entirely normal for the usual.... or anything that is out of balance....... call a doctor! This Saturn-Sun can point your attention to health matters usually in my experience. It can help to just be cautious, look at things very wisely, and not waste your time with "what could be the case".
There is no mystery under a major Saturn transit-- if you ain't gettin' it (the message of the transit), you're spendin' too much time with the Tarot cards and not enough time with your Texas Instruments Calculator....... it's not some huge mystical space-time anomaly, the answers are found in structures and the current nature of Now.

I lost my job a year ago in February and have not been able to find work since. Could Saturn in Libra have caused me to lose my job of 7 yrs and then precede into a deep dark depression? I don't know any other reason I could be going through this period in my life so I am turning back to astrology to try to get some answers.
So I really need for Saturn to pass through my 1st House until things get easier for me it sounds like.
