“The term “transits” in astrology refers to the planets’ continual movement, as opposed to their positions at your birth or when some other significant event occurred. Transits mirror our collective reality, the world we’re all living in together, because they are tied to current reality. Transits are like cards that the world delivers us, and how we play them determines how we change and how our destiny unfolds.”

In astrology, how long does a transit last?
Transits of the inner planets (including the sun and moon) are often not regarded significant by astrologers because they are brief and have a limited impact. Because these transits occur so frequently and are so ephemeral in their function, most astrologers would not chart them on a regular basis. Their key traits are as follows:
- Transiting The Sun is at its highest point for around two days and has an impact on health, energy, and willpower in the life area represented by the natal planet, sign, and house being transited. More activity, inventiveness, and freedom of speech.
- According to the planet, sign, and house being transited, the transiting Moon lasts only a few hours at most and mostly affects moods and feelings, though not usually consciously.
- Mercury is only at its highest point for a day or two. This is a good time to catch up on correspondence and make short trips or visits. Depending on the nature of the aspect and the planet being aspected, thought patterns and focus will be affected in a positive or negative way. It’s an excellent time to write letters, send e-mails, make phone calls, and contact with others in general. A Mercury transit, when combined with Venus, can imply entertaining or giving a discourse or lecture. When Mercury transits your natal sun and ascendant, it’s a wonderful time to make little adjustments, such as buying, selling, or swapping items.
- Transiting Venus is at its most powerful for around two days, signaling feelings of love. Receiving presents or money can sometimes have a financial influence. Transits to the sun and ascendant indicate that it is a good time to buy new clothes or adorn oneself, while transits to the moon indicate that it is a good time to beautify the home and buy new domestic products. Transits to Mercury and Jupiter indicate a favorable time to entertain, while transits to its own sign and the midheaven indicate a favorable time to be entertained. Transits to Neptune are ideal for going to the movies or the theater, while Uranus transits are ideal for flirting!
- Transiting Mars energises the areas of life that are affected by the natal planet.
- The individual will be more energized and capable of working longer hours than usual. However, because Mars can cause tension and wrath, it’s important to keep your cool during a Mars transit, especially when it coincides with the moon. Plan to keep occupied during a Mars transit in order to channel this pent-up energy. It is also necessary to take additional care to avoid rushing and accidents. When Mars transits the sun or ascendant, be extra cautious.
What is the significance of which planet transit?
When Saturn moves from one sign to the next, it has a different effect. The most important planetary transit is Saturn’s transit, which is one of the slowest in astrological terms. This is because the effects, whatever they are, last for 2.5 years. As a result, it’s a good idea to visit an experienced astrologer to determine how the Saturn transit will influence you and make any necessary adjustments to your karmas.
What effect do transits have on me?
“In essence, transits have an impact on who you encounter and what you attract.” It’s also worth noting that transiting planets behave differently, according to Tripp. Because the “inner planets” (the moon, sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars) travel through the signs at a fast pace, their transits and effects are brief.
In astrology, how essential is transit?
Because every planet is continually in transit, transits have a significant impact on astrological studies. The natal chart depicts the location of the planets at the time of birth. The planets in the natal position can provide the misleading impression that they are static in natal charts. However, no planet is ever still.
What makes public transportation so valuable?
This method can provide astronomers with a wealth of information about planets discovered. Astronomers can determine the planet’s orbital period since the planetary transit is periodic in nature. The planet’s radius can also be calculated by watching the decrease in the star’s visible brightness and calculating how much light the orbiting planet blocks out, resulting in the planet’s radius. The transit approach has the added benefit of revealing the planet’s atmospheric make-up, assuming it has one. As the planet passes through the light of the star, the light passes through the planet’s atmosphere, before heading towards Earth and being collected by our telescopes. The light can then be analyzed using spectroscopy to provide astronomers some insight into the composition of these alien worlds’ atmospheres.
What is the frequency of planet transits?
Transits are far less often than eclipses. Mercury transits the Sun once every seven years on average. Transits of Venus, on the other hand, are a little more tricky. A Venus transit is followed by a second one eight years later.
What are the best astrological transits?
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto transits, which can span months or even years, are the most important for preparing forward.
Jupiter and Saturn transits can be highly significant as well, but because they only run for a few weeks at a time, they are more beneficial for planning (or avoiding) specific actions in the future.
Because Venus, Mars, and Mercury move quickly around our chart and only transit our natal planets for a few days, it’s more useful to look at which houses they’re currently transiting through rather than the aspects they’re making to the natal chart unless you’re looking for very precise timing of activity, such as an open cart.
You’d go insane trying to keep track of all of your Venus, Mars, and Mercury transits each year!
Finally, because the moon and sun move so quickly, it is not particularly useful to consider transits involving the transiting moon or sun because they only last for hours or days. However, it is useful to consider which part of our chart they are bringing energy to each day, week, and month, and this is something I teach students how to do in my program Your Soulful Year.
Each month, I’ll examine which areas of my horoscope the sun is bringing energy and life to, as well as the areas of my horoscope that each new and full moon activates.
What is the duration of a Venus transit?
When the planet Venus passes directly between the Sun and a superior planet, it becomes visible against (and so obscures a tiny section of) the solar disk, known as a transit of Venus across the Sun. Venus appears to Earth as a little black dot travelling across the face of the Sun during a transit. Transits of this nature usually last many hours (the transit of 2012 lasted 6 hours and 40 minutes). A transit is similar to the Moon’s solar eclipse. Venus has a diameter more than three times that of the Moon, but since it is much farther away from Earth, it seems smaller and travels more slowly around the face of the Sun.
Venus transits are among the most unpredictable astronomical events. They happen every 243 years in a sequence with pairs of transits eight years apart followed by lengthy gaps of 121.5 years and 105.5 years. The periodicity is due to the fact that the orbital periods of Earth and Venus are nearly identical at 8:13 and 243:395 respectively.
The last Venus transit of the twenty-first century occurred on the 5th and 6th of June 2012; the last transit occurred on the 8th of June 2004. The last two transits took place in December 1874 and December 1882. The following Venus transits will occur on December 1011, 2117, and December 8th, 2125.
Transits of Venus are historically significant since they were used to obtain the first accurate estimations of the size of the Solar System. Observations of the 1639 transit offered a more accurate estimate of Venus’s size and the distance between the Sun and the Earth than any other estimate available at the time. Through the use of the idea of parallax, observational evidence from following anticipated transits in 1761 and 1769 enhanced the accuracy of this original estimated distance. Scientists were able to conduct a variety of other studies as a result of the transit in 2012, particularly in the development of tools for searching for exoplanets.
