“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 can I determine my transit?
According to Tripp, you may find out about impending transits by searching up an ephemeris, which is a table that lists all of the planets’ movements in the months and years ahead. Otherwise, you can simply wait till your astrologer indicates a significant transit in the future.
What does the term “transit period” imply?
The time it takes for a shipment to be delivered after it has been picked up from its point of origin is known as transit time. It is, in essence, the amount of time spent transferring products from one location to another.
In astrology, how long does a transit last?
Is it possible to sense a transit/eclipse/influence Moon’s before it occurs?
According to some sources, up to three months in advance is required. I’d say up to a month ahead of time, but more typically 1-2 weeks. This refers to the first time eclipse occurrences are initiated. Depending on what’s been activated in your chart, the impact (after the fact) can last for months or even years.
See the eclipses section above, but shorten the timescale (definitely no more than 2 weeks before). Because eclipses are more powerful, occurrences will occur further in advance.
Transits involving the slower moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) can last anywhere from one day to one year (approximately) until they establish an exact aspect to your planet/angle. The amount of time it is sensed ahead of time will increase in proportion to the planet’s slowness and the power of the aspect. The fastest planet is Jupiter, while Pluto is the slowest. Conjunction/opposition (same strength), square, inconjunct, trine, and sextile are the strongest to weakest aspects.
Faster-moving planet transits (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) are normally sensed 1-2 days before they make an exact aspect. The only time this does not apply is when Mercury, Venus, or Mars are retrograde (especially if they move back and forth over a natal planet or angle). You may begin to feel the influence about a week before the retrograde begins, and the triggering of events can last for the duration of the retrograde.
Separating characteristics are not felt in my experience. It’s finished once the aspect is perfect. However, some astrologers claim that you might experience the transit’s fading effects up to 2 degrees after it occurs (while separating). This is more common for planets that move more slowly.
Yes. The influence may or may not activate your chart (no natal planets or angles are aspected). However, there is still plenty of energy to deal with. Nothing is happening just because you don’t feel anything. Check the natal house being stimulated by the influence if you wish to make a change.
Orbs aren’t engraved into the rock. These can be used as broad guidelines, however they may vary slightly based on the situation and the individual experiencing them.
Transits (including New/Full Moons) to natal planets, angles, and nodes: Conjunctions, oppositions, squares, and trines are all affected by 3 degrees. For sextiles, apply 1-2 degrees. For eclipses, a maximum of 4 degrees should be applied.
2 degrees apply to transits to progressed planets/angles/Nodes/asteroids (including New/Full Moons), regardless of the aspect or planet. No more than 3 degrees for eclipses.
2 degrees apply to progressed planets/angles aspecting natal planets/angles/Nodes/asteroids, regardless of the aspect or planet.
A conjunction, opposition, or square is 6 degrees, a trine is 5 degrees, a sextile is 3 degrees, and an inconjunct is 1-2 degrees. For any aspect of the Nodes, a maximum of 5 degrees is allowed. Any aspect of the asteroids should be no more than 2-3 degrees.
5 degrees for a conjunction or opposition, 3-4 degrees for a square, 3 degrees for a trine, 2 degrees for a sextile, and 1-2 degrees for an inconjunct in synastry and composite aspects. For any aspect of the Nodes, a maximum of 5 degrees is allowed. Any aspect of the asteroids should be no more than 2-3 degrees.
When reading the weekly horoscopes, should I refer to my Sun sign or rising sign?
“Sunrise charts” and Whole sign houses are used to write the weeklies. The Sun sign (at 0 degrees) is placed in the 1st House, and the remaining signs are arranged in sequence around the chart. The Taurus horoscope chart, for example, has 0 degrees Taurus on the Ascendant, Gemini on the 2nd House cusp, Cancer on the 3rd House cusp, and so on. You can combine the two meanings by reading the forecasts for your Sun sign and rising sign. Some people believe that the horoscope that corresponds to their rising sign is more accurate (especially if they are familiar with their chart). These horoscopes are simply general projections; they offer you a sense of your sign’s overall “weather.”
What are the most essential 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 a planet’s transit?
The transit method has been used to discover the majority of known exoplanets. When a planet passes between a star and its observer, it is called a transit. When Venus or Mercury pass between us and the Sun, transits inside our solar system can be seen from Earth.
Transits reveal an exoplanet not because we can see it directly from many light-years away, but because the planet passes in front of its star, dimming its light significantly. This dimming can be noticed in light curve graphs that indicate the amount of light received over time. The light curve will indicate a decrease in brightness when the exoplanet passes in front of the star.
This information is one of the reasons why transits are so useful: Transits can aid in the identification of a wide range of exoplanet properties. The size of the exoplanet’s orbit may be computed using the length of time it takes to orbit once (period), and the size of the planet itself can be calculated using the brightness of the star.
During a transit, we can also learn about an exoplanet’s atmosphere. Some light will pass through its atmosphere as it transits, and this light can be studied to see what atmospheric factors impacted its unique dispersion. The composition of the atmosphere is crucial in determining habitability. Habitability can also be determined by the size of the orbit and the temperature of the star. These assist in determining the temperature of the planet itself, indicating whether its surface is appropriate for life or not.
In Vedic astrology, what is transit?
We believe the planets to move from one astrological sign to the next in our horoscope / natal chart as they rotate. Planetary Transit is the name given to such a movement of planets. A significant cause generating abrupt changes in one’s life, whether favorable or negative, is planetary transit.
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.
