Transits
In astrology, transits are the passages of the planets in the current sky relative to the positions of a person s natal chart. They are the main tool of predictive astrology: they describe the "symbolic seasons" you go through over time, given your astrological profile at birth.
Types of transits
Fast planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) produce short transits (hours to weeks) and describe everyday themes. Medium planets (Jupiter, Saturn) produce transits of months and describe cycles of growth or responsibility. Slow planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) produce transits lasting one or two years and describe deep transformations.
Famous transits
Saturn return (at 28-30 years, and again at 56-60): considered an important passage of maturation. Uranus opposition (at 41-43): the symbolic "mid-life crisis". Pluto on a natal point: deep transformation. Jupiter on the Sun: a year of openness. These cycles are common to all, but are experienced differently according to the individual natal chart.
FAQ
How long do transits last?
It varies: from a few hours (Moon on a natal point) to one or two years (Pluto on a natal point). It depends on the planet s speed and orb of influence.
Do transits predict the future?
They describe symbolic qualities of the period, not specific events. The same transit manifests differently in different lives.
Can I "avoid" a negative transit?
No, but you can live it with greater awareness. Knowing the transit helps interpret what is happening.
