What is a transit?
A transit is where a planet in today's sky sits, compared to where it was in your birth chart. When a moving planet forms an exact angle to a birth planet, it activates that part of your chart.
Transits are how astrology times things. The slow planets — Jupiter, Saturn, and beyond — mark the big chapters; the fast ones colour the days and weeks.
How to read the list
Each line names a transiting planet, the aspect it makes, the birth planet it touches, and the date it's exact. The slow-planet contacts matter most — they last months.
'Applying' means the aspect is still tightening toward exact, so pressure is building; 'separating' means it has peaked and is easing off. The tighter the orb, the stronger the effect.
Key ideas
Building toward exact, or fading after — the difference between rising and passing pressure.
How far from exact an aspect is. A tight orb (under 1°) hits harder than a wide one.
Outer-planet transits set the big themes; inner-planet transits trigger them day to day.
Squares and oppositions push and challenge; trines and sextiles ease and open doors.
Common questions
Where it comes from
Timing by transit is ancient, but the modern emphasis on outer-planet transits to the personal points grew in the 20th century, once Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were discovered and tracked.
