Transits of the Major Planets

The transits of the outer planets, in other words those furthest from the Sun, have the greatest influence and determine the most important events in life. The more distant a planet and the longer it takes on its path around the Sun, the more lasting are its effects. You might see these longer-term transits below for months.

The minor transits, with their rapid movement, only produce fleeting states of mind, or actions of less significance in everyday life. These will appear in your transit report below for a few days.

The information given below is not valid in isolation. One must also take into account the signs of the Zodiac and the houses where these aspects are found. The position of the planets and their aspects in the natal chart must also be taken into account.

The gift of foretelling by the stars requires a lot of work, but also a lot of tact and human feeling. Never make fatal predictions, as everyone can get things wrong.

-281 Opposition Venus - Moon

Challenging short-term aspect: Your feelings, friends, and relatives figure prominently in your life now. You realize how much you appreciate and need their love and support, and you are particularly affectionate now. You may also initiate a relationship in which you take care of, support, and "baby" someone else. Family life is a little disturbed. Your relationships with friends are not frank, and you may feel a bit off or ill-at-ease. Overindulgence is possible. This is a short transit that lasts only a couple of days.

-218 Opposition Jupiter - Moon

Challenging aspect: Depending on your character and life situation, you can be especially optimistic or emotionally self-indulgent at this time. Some of us experience swings from optimism to self-pity. Problems rooted in the past and with family and early childhood can surface, and productivity may be adversely affected as you nurse your wounds. There can be a tendency to put on weight or to be extravagant. If this is the case, recognize that it's a sign that you are looking for emotional satisfaction in the wrong places. You may be questioning the amount of support you are receiving from others. You might be setting others up on some level to prove to yourself how unsupported you are. We all need to feel emotionally supported, and this transit makes us more aware of that need. It may be best to face what is lacking in your life--that which is causing you to feel unhappy.

You can be a little eccentric, perhaps acting out or showing off to draw attention on yourself. You may be generous, but this generosity might be abused. You may want to live in more luxury or to pamper yoursel. Your family may not approve of your behavior, and conflicts can result.

-148 Opposition Pluto - Venus

Challenging aspect: Your emotional life may well be stormy during the months of this transit. You may have difficulty with sexual understanding with a partner. You could think you are no longer loved and that therefore there's someone else, or something similar, which can cause fits of jealousy or frustrating moments.

In general, this can be a sign of disintegration or breakdown, but a lot of couples can survive by picking up the pieces, and if so, the relationship transforms to a new level.

This major long-term transit challenges you to find meaning in your life through romantic connections and partnerships or special projects and hobbies. You now must uncover a new layer or level to your life -- one that goes more deeply than you have heretofore experienced. Sometimes this transit is associated with divorce or separation, and sometimes new relationships begin. Other times, the attitude towards partnership undergoes a major transformation. You may become quite obsessed with your commitments and partner during this time, or you may experience Pluto through your partner. Manipulative and controlling behaviors may be displayed or experienced through partners, for example.

You must be especially wary of resisting change and holding onto negative attachments. This transit may be a signal that it is time to let go of destructive attachments and connections, and resisting this process is likely to do more harm than good. Relationships begun at this time may be very complicated and ultimately challenging, so be sure to think before making drastic changes in your relationships at this time. There may be some problems with money during this transit. Poor spending decisions made to date can come to a head and you may need to face up to their reality. By the end of the transit, you should have a renewed sense of worth, although getting to that point may not be entirely pleasant.

-123 Opposition Mars - Pluto

Challenging short-term aspect: This aspect lasts a few days. Your ambitions are strong but perhaps ruling you in all the wrong ways just for now. Stuff that's been bugging you deeply now comes up and takes over. Watch for attempts to push your will. Be kinder to yourself and others and find satisfying ways to work through anger, such as through physical activity.

115 Conjunction Uranus - Midheaven

Positive aspect: You may have changes in your work, which will be to your advantage. You can certainly gain more money through promotion, or you are freer in the work you do. Feeling a little more detached about your reputation now can be beneficial since others see you as cool and happening.

-100 Square Venus - Saturn

Challenging short-term aspect: Be careful in love. It's not the time to ask for favors. There could be feelings of rejection today. You may feel the weight of responsibilities, especially social, romantic, and financial ones, more acutely today. This feeling will pass. Remember your worth but don't give into the the temptation to prove yourself to others. Be patient.

63 Trine Mars - Neptune

Positive shorter-term aspect: You can try hard to put your ideas into operation, and dreams can become reality. You can be attracted to travel by sea, creative arts, water sports, or those things that are out-of-the-ordinary, taking pleasure in the company of unusual people.

34 Trine Saturn - Lilith

Positive aspect: Time for stock-taking, be it on the professional, personal, family, or emotional level. You see things clearly during this transit, and this helps you face up to your responsibilities, especially the things you have more-or-less rejected until now. You are inclined to take your life in hand as an adult and responsible person, with no or few illusions. You accept what hurts you and face up to your difficulties, and this benefits you even if at times it feels a little strict or uncomfortable.

About the Transit Report

This report is designed to show and interpret transits that are within orb on a particular day at the time of day of your visit. The table reflects transits in effect at the specified time in GMT. Some influences come and go on the same day, while others can stick with you for days, months, and even years.

Why do values and orbs change for a particular day? This is because transits keep moving--they don't freeze from midnight one day to midnight the next. Some faster-moving planets, especially the Moon, move into or out of orb on the same day. The above transits are a snapshot at the current time of day.

What do the numbers next to the transit names mean?

The column entitled "Worth" assigns a positive or negative value to each transit. These numbers also appear next to the transit interpretations and are part of a weighting system designed to quantify the relative strength of an aspect. The larger the number, the stronger we expect that transit to be.

With this weighting system, a positive value/worth is considered harmonious, and a negative value is considered challenging. Factors that determine the Worth value are the nature of the planets, aspects, and the orb of influence.

For example, a weight (or worth) of 35 suggests the transit is a harmonious influence of moderate strength. A weight of 420 indicates the transit is quite strong and harmonious. If you see a worth of -10, the transit is relatively weak and disharmonious.

On the other hand, "Orb" values are the exact distance in degrees away from a transit's exactitude. The larger the orb value, the weaker an aspect is. Put another way, the larger the orb value, the greater the distance an aspect is from being exact. An orb of 0°00' is exact, and an aspect with an orb of less than 1 degree (that is, from 0°00' to 0°59') is considered strong. Thus the smaller the orb value, the stronger and more influential the aspect is.
