Transit

A transit is a currently-moving planet crossing a specific degree of your natal chart — a moment of contact between where things are now and where they were when you were born.

Planets keep moving after you're born. When a moving planet reaches the same degree as a planet or point in your natal chart, that's a transit — a collision between present time and your birth map. Transits don't cause events. They describe the symbolic weather: the kind of pressure, opening, or friction available during a period. A Saturn transit to your Venus doesn't mean a relationship will end. It means the qualities Saturn represents — limits, reality, maturation — are in active contact with the qualities Venus represents — value, worth, connection. What you do with that contact is yours to determine. The speed of the transiting planet determines how long the influence lasts. The Moon transits a degree in hours. Jupiter takes weeks. Saturn may hold within orb for months. Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto can be in contact for years — slow, structural pressure rather than discrete events. In this reading, transits form the primary basis for timing — what's active now, when specific pressures peak, and when windows open or close.

Not: Transits are not fate. They don't make things happen — they describe the quality of the moment, which can be engaged many different ways. Two people with identical transits will have very different experiences based on context, choices, and what else is active in their chart.

Transit interpretation is symbolic, not causal. There is no demonstrated mechanism by which planetary positions affect human psychology or external events. The value of working with transits is as a framework for reflection and timing awareness — not prophecy.
