For anyone with an interest in Astrology, the terms birth charts, retrograde, planet personalities, and elements are quite familiar terminologies. As a person delves deeper into science, they also learn about transits.
Transits have been obsessed over by many astrology enthusiasts. Their fleeting nature and the effect they can have on a person’s life mesmerizes many astrology students. If you consider your birth chart as this fixed moment in time, then the Planets are constantly moving. The motion of the Planets on this fixed moment of time, that is, your birth chart is what Transits is all about. There are various methods of studying transits and calculating their effect on a person’s life and future.
With the movement of planets, they form angles with one another, and by calculating these angles, astrologers can predict life events. As the planets transit the ecliptic belt around the Earth, they change the course of a person’s life. Reading the planets’ alignment with the birth chart can result in accurate predictions.
Birth charts have details on your entire personality; your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Your moods and actions can also be predicted by reading your birth chart but a sudden change in one of your traits and likings, and taking a course of action that is against your personality may sometimes be a result of the planets in transit, and how they align with your birth chart. This planetary movement can result in a shift of energies and behaviors, and more importantly, your future.
A change in the entire course of life as a result of planets in transit is not always the case. For instance, if a planet transits from your sun or moon, you can almost feel situations changing around you. At other times, the change may only be in your moods and vibes, something that is entirely dependent on the natal placements under transit. The two most important things a transit can impact are who crosses your path, and how you attract those crossing it.
The duration for which you will feel the effects of the transit also varies, depending on the transitioning planets. If it’s the faster-moving inner planets, the moon, the sun, Venus, Mars, or Mercury, then the effects are short-lived. If it’s the slow-moving outer planets on the move such as Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Neptune or Pluto, then the shift in moods and situations can be felt for a long time. Prepare for immense changes ahead.
If you wish to take note of planetary transits and how they affect your life, it is best to get an astrologer to read your birth chart and study the transits.
