Transiting Sun square Saturn Ð’ presents tests and challenges which can lead to pessimism and even depression. Your ego may suffer because it is so difficult to get your own way and achieve your goals. You may feel restricted or weighed down by certain duties and responsibilities. This isÐ’ a test of your character, and you must strive to meet your responsibilities now or they will catch up with you in a bigger way down the track.
You should not expect to feel light hearted or in a happy mood because this a time of coming under pressure through time limits or other important duties at home, school or work. Your need must be placed in the background in order to achieve the given task.
It is likely that you will come under pressure from whoever need the job done, which could be the boss, your father or some other kind of authority figure. Along the way they will not make it easy for you with criticism, rejection or even abuse.
You need to show patience, determination and a strong work ethic now. The problem is that with such a heavy feeling of responsibility and restriction, you will want to buck the system and avoid your responsibilities. As mentioned above, avoiding responsibility at the moment will lead to serious complications at a later stage. Even though you may try to ignore the consequences, your subconscious or inner voice will remember and give you a very unsettled and worried feeling. The longer you procrastinate, the worse the problem will become.
You may justifiably feel that you are being hard done by now, and you may experience rejection, isolation, sadness, discouragement and bad luck. The sooner you get down to the hard work and get it done, the sooner you self-confidence will return. Though you probably won’t receive much in the way of praise or recognition, you will have overcome a major stumbling block and gain satisfaction. You will then be better placed the next time you face such an obstacle.
