(29F) I have a fairly decent basic understanding of my natal chart, but I’m not as well-versed in aspects and transits I don’t know much about at all. I’ve always used astrology as more of a self-reflection tool than for prediction but hoping for some insight.

I have had a fairly difficult childhood and life all around so far, but the last few years, particularly from late 2021 onward, have been especially difficult. I met my now partner near the end of 2024, and it seemed things were slowly coming back together but they, again, took a turn for the worse at the end of last year.

I lost my job, my car all but fell completely apart, nearly lost my grandmother to some serious health issues, and then my estranged mother passed after complications from a suicide attempt. Just a week after my mom passed, my partner’s mom was diagnosed with terminal cancer all throughout her body. It progressed quickly and horribly, and we recently lost her as well. This has all put a serious strain on my already pretty-fragile mental state.

We are both supporting each other as best we can, but things got quite dark for a while. Looking for some light at the end of the tunnel here. I’m starting to see it (I think) but weary of getting my hopes up after these last few years.
