No words Hulala. ? But some of this does ring true for me. 

3 years later...I was talking to a friend and have realized that I have completely isolated myself and made myself sort of invisible on social media. No real idea except that I just don't want anyone to know what's going on in my life. Nothing is wrong and all is well but I just want privacy. I've shut people out and though some try to reconnect I only do so once in a while because this was a very important person to me.

I'm still social in a sense but nowhere near as much as I used to be. It's gotten worse once Saturn went into Capricorn.

I just re-read Hulala's post and it totally resonated with me. Wow.

I wonder If I'll get back to being out there once Pluto leaves my 10th? I hope so because I was much happier then. With my moon in the 11th I like people/friends. But then Saturn will transit my 11th after it leaves Cap. Yikes. LOL

Ann, I went through this transit and what you’ve described in your first paragraph virtually mirrors my experience. It was like I needed to retreat from the world. The good news is I did come out it. I have Saturn and Pluto in the 11th atm. These positions feel easier to me. I must also add that by the time Pluto hit the 11th, I felt a bit like a new person. I changed my direction/career path in life and this is working out well ?. It will be interesting whether you experience some good change too. Here’s hoping ? 

That's good to hear. Thanks!

For me this transit was early 2003 to late 2013. I was in school in 2003, embarking on what I thought would be a rewarding and lucrative career. Through about 2011 it worked out well financially, but I was stressed beyond belief, gained weight, blood pressure issues, etc. I had to deal with the difficulty of finding work that was compatible with values and personality, but also allowed me to afford to live well in my very expensive corner of the world. I "sold out" for a few years thinking it would put me in good shape financially for what came next.

At the tail end of the 2008-11 crash I was let go and spent the next couple of years trying to find a similar job, or at least one in the same field. But it's like my old career and way of life had been vaporized. Gone as surely and completely as it had been there.

Pluto (and Saturn) now in my 11th, but things have been harder if anything. I find myself at the Saturn opposition seemingly paying an extraordinarily high price for every single mistake between 2004 and now.

Sounds like you had a rise then a fall. Your experience sounds very harsh. I hope you get some relief/ change of luck soon.
