“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.”

What does it signify when a planet passes through its transit phase?
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.
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.
Is it true that transits matter in astrology?
Transits depict the planets’ actual, physical motion as well as the relationship between their current positions and their positions at the time of your birth.
As a result, you might hear someone say “Mars is transiting Aries and my 8th House,” or “Mars is in Transit with my natal Mercury.”
In the end, what they’re talking about is how the movement of the planets affects their natal astrology chart.
You might also hear someone remark that “Mars is squaring their natal Jupiter,” which means that Mars’ current exact positioning is within a degree of their Jupiter’s natal placement, creating a transit aspect in their chart.
For example, transiting Mars (the planet of action and bravery) may conjunct (be in the same sign and degree as) your midheaven or career zone, and you may feel compelled to take action, seek a promotion, or even quit your work at this time.
During a transit, what happens?
Astrological transits are one of the most common strategies for predicting future trends and developments in horoscopic astrology (the other means used is astrological progression, which progresses the horoscope forward in time according to set methods). Astrological transits are a means of understanding the continuing movement of the planets as they transit the horoscope, as the name implies. This is most commonly done for a person’s birth chart or Natal Chart. Changes in sign or house, as well as aspects or angles formed by transiting planets with the natal chart, are given special attention.
The planetary return is a very significant transit. When a transiting planet returns to the same location in the sky as it was at the time of a person’s birth, this occurs. This indicates that the planet has completed a full circle of the sky, signaling the start of a new cycle in the person’s life. The outer planets Jupiter and Saturn have the most substantial returns. Every 12 years, Jupiter returns, signaling the start of a new phase of growth and development. Saturn returns every 30 years or so, signaling a new stage in the aging process when new realities and obligations must be confronted.
What is the duration of a transit?
The Ford Transit van has a mileage expectation of roughly 150,000 kilometers, according to Motor and Wheels. However, if you look after your cargo van type, it can last up to 300,000 kilometers. Before needing to conduct costly repairs or make any major alterations, owners say that their vans have lasted at least 1015 years.
The same can be said about the life expectancy of a Ford Transit van in another country. These vans should last for at least 100,000 kilometers. It’s not uncommon to see a Transit pass 100,000 miles on the odometer. In Europe, it’s not uncommon to see a Transit with 200,000 kilometers or more on the odometer.
What is the transit time?
The transit period during which the parties agree that the Goods can be delivered as specified in the Quotation or as agreed by the parties from time to time is referred to as the Transit Period.
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.
Are you able to sense astrological transits before they occur?
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.”
