Many different factors make for a difficult chart. I will address a few. The hardest would be planets in the 12th house, which is the door to the next dimension, death, mysticism, addictions and creativity. Twelfth house placements may make one too raw and sensitive for this world. Another factor would be Saturn, the planet of restriction. It may give one deep, insecurity. When Saturn touches the Sun(basic identity) or one’s Moon(deepest, innermost self), one may doubt even the smallest of decisions or actions. Saturn touching any planet brings some sort of restriction. Saturn touching Venus makes love hard. Saturn touching Mars makes assertion hard. Hard aspects to Mercury may make for a struggle in one’s mental health. Mercury is one’s mind. I cringe when I see Mercury touching Uranus in a hard aspect. This can unbalance the mind. Uranus is an electrical planet. It is the planet of genius, but genius gone too far may lead to insanity. If one wants to address asteroids, one can look at the “dark” asteroids such as Nessus, the abuser’s asteroid, Dejaneria, the victim’s asteroid, Sedna, the betrayed one’s asteroid, Ixion, the outlaw’s asteroid . Also, the Child asteroid shows what happened to one, as a child. If the Child Asteroid is conjnct Dejaneria, you may have been victimized. If it is conjunct Sedna, you may have been betrayed by a father. If it conjuncts Nessus, you may have been abused with no thought for your well being.
