Transit
ConceptTransits describe the ongoing movement of planets through the zodiac and how they interact with your birth chart. Your natal chart is fixed at the moment of birth, but the planets keep moving, and when a moving planet forms an angle to one of your birth planets, it 'activates' that area of your life, like flipping a switch. This is the basis of astrological forecasting. Slow outer planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) mark major life chapters that unfold over months or years, while fast inner planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) create the texture of your daily and weekly experience. A transit is not something that happens to you, it is a conversation between the sky right now and the sky at your birth.
