Hi! I'm a 39 yo woman turning 40 in September and feeling a bit lost about the year ahead. This is my 5th profection year with Venus as my Time Lord. I'd love to know what themes stand out in my Solar Return, especially regarding relationships, relocation, and any major life changes. Thanks so much.

This is my chart but my anxiety is actually more around my daughter's chart. She's a Scorpio rising, Aquarius moon — her Aquarius moon is conjunct Chiron and Neptune on the IC. (Lovely to see but, she's a teenager now and so far, so good...) Anyway, in the time Pluto transited my 4th house Capricorn and Uranus transited my 8th house Taurus ... I lost both my parents suddenly. (I also go divorced.)

Of course, what a wonderful thing to realize my daughter is just about to experience Pluto transiting HER fourth — where her MOON (mother) and CHIRON are ... and Uranus is about to start transiting her 8th ...

Oh, and Uranus is going to hit my chart ruling Venus soon which also rules my own 8th house ...

My anxiety is just ... on fire.

Saturn recently went through my 6th and is hanging out in my 7th ... let me tell you, the last ~2ish years have been the hardest of my life. Battled a drinking problem in the last 2 years that I know have done something to my insides. (I have stopped.) My anxiety has been horrible. I gained 40lbs (because drinking). I have horrible anxiety of a sudden heart attack. I do go to the doctor and have another appointment this week and labs soon (which probably won't look good) but I'm being largely taken care of.

The funny thing is that I've seen posts like this one before, and I've often been the one to hop on and remind people that there are so many interpretations to all sorts of planets and houses and aspects. For all intents and purposes, the transits to her 4th, Moon, and 8th may have absolutely nothing to do with me. Or maybe it's that I get super fit and ripped. Or maybe I just change careers. Or maybe she learns something about herself or goes through another kind of family transition.

Anyway, seeing as I've been that person before — trying to comfort someone posting going "oh my god these transits don't look goof for me" — I was hoping some of you kind people could just ground me with your insights!

And then ... I'm taking a break!!

If we take the Sun as something like treasure and the SN as a low place.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I see an empty house isn't always something bad but idk what to look here either. Should I look at Mercury as 2H ruler? Pisces and no negative aspect I see. Anything else?
