I have had one episode of prolonged depression in my life which definitely build up my resilience on the positive note and mood swings have been an ongoing thing although my mood swings are normally connected to my menstrual cycle.

Venus rules female hormones and it inconjuncts my moon and trines my AC-Melancholia.

Melancholia parallel exact his Mercury @12d47S. Further his Dejanira is @12d53S so he actually has Melancholia parallel his mercury and Dejanira.

Declination stellium @12dS of:
Melancholia-Mercury-Dejanira.

Psyche: Cancer 27'24
Chiron: Cancer 28'57

& Moon: Leo 0'54

Then I came over to this forum and saw this topic and I was like, wow, how crazy would that be if this asteroid were conjunct all that and... Sure enough.

I can personally say I've suffered with depression for many years. I'm curious though, how would any of you interpret Melancholia conjunct Pluto?

My Melancholia is exactly conjunct Neptune at 16 Lib. Sextile Chiron at 16 Sag; trine Psyche at 16 Gem.

And did you know there was a movie made in 2011 , I did not know.
>http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1527186/
Tagline
"Two sisters find their already strained relationship challenged as a mysterious new planet threatens to collide with Earth."

Having just watched the trailer I am profoundly sad for Kiefer Sutherland and Kirsten Dunst.

I have Melancholia sextile ASC.

My Melancholia has been conjunct Pluto in progressions for a long time. I guess I've always been missing people. It's interesting to see where it was transiting when I lost loved ones.

But I have not suffered much with depression. I think it's because I am careful to eat healthy and use relaxation techniques, plus I rely on astrology.

Not the end of the world, just another transit...

The one time I suffered from depression it was after my ex and I broke up and I am not surprised I got depressed after losing someone I had a bond like that at all, that is the price of coming across a connection like that.

BTW depression does not mean that you are weak and think that its the end of the world, it just means you are human and have an immense capacity to feel deeply. Further bc I have suffered from depression is why I am as strong as I am today and its my incredable ability to pick myself back up after every fall I have had and never give up that defines me.

I don't know if we have the same idea of what depression entails.

I had a bad case of baby blues after my one son was born. I suspect that it was clinical depression. Nothing interested me, nothing could lift my mood. I couldn't even pretend. Life was flat. I have referred to it before as "the place where no comfort is."

It wasn't connected to what was happening in my life, aside from sleep deprivation. So I see it as biochemical. Possibly exacerbated by my Saturn Return, and my pr ASC changing signs.

I have experienced a lot of sadness and hardship...but not a lot of that flat and desolate feeling that I consider depression. And I have assumed that there's a biochemical reason for that.

Faith, I'm so sorry you experienced postpartum depression. That can be one of the hardest things to deal with.

As for my Melancholia conjunct my Pluto I believe that it also relates to the trauma and my experience with trying to heal and regenerate from it's destruction. I become very melancholy thinking about it, especially when I try to heal.

I think a concern with Capricorns is that we try and muscle our way through every heartache, and we can just get numb or suffer from energy blockages if we don't figure out how to process our pain. I still don't really know how to release old anger...but I like to think it can be done physically, with martial arts, yoga, or even chopping firewood.
