Current planetary timing
Personal transit chart explained
A transit chart compares the planets at a chosen date and time with the fixed positions in a natal chart.
Natal positions and moving planets
The natal chart remains fixed at the recorded birth moment. Transit planets move through current zodiac longitudes and form changing aspects to natal planets and angles.
Applying, exact and separating
An applying transit is moving toward exactitude, an exact transit is closest to the aspect angle, and a separating transit is moving away. Slow planets can repeat an aspect during retrograde cycles.
Timing without certainty claims
Transit traditions describe periods of emphasis and pressure. They do not establish guaranteed events, so useful readings combine timing evidence with practical context.
Frequently asked questions
What is a transit in astrology?
A transit is the current or selected position of a planet compared with a natal chart position.
Why can a transit happen more than once?
Retrograde motion can cause a planet to cross the same natal degree multiple times.
Which transits last longest?
Transits from slower-moving outer planets usually remain within orb longer than transits from the Moon or fast personal planets.
