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.

461 Conjunction Uranus - Moon

Positive longer-term aspect: This transit associates independence with imagination. It's a time for a creative streak. You are on a quest for novelty, originality, and innovation in your activities. You are more sociable and meet new people during this time. You could meet one person who you're very attracted to and who blows your mind. This is a busy time when your activities or routines get a boost or rehaul, and you can meet out-of-the-ordinary people.

Your feelings bubble up from within, and your sense of humor is excellent. The child within emerges. Your days are refreshed. Many of your habits or familiar routines or personal environment can change and improve. You are seeking--and finding--alternatives. Old pastimes come back.

A brighter, happier, or more lively home life is likely now. New or updated living conditions/arrangements can be a theme.

390 Conjunction Moon - Jupiter

Positive brief aspect: Elevated moods. There can be emotional relief in the hours of this transit. Good for domestic, legal, publishing, real estate, promotional, and educational matters, all things considered. A better time to buy a lottery ticket if you are so inclined.

270 Conjunction Mars - Jupiter

Positive short-term aspect: You are enthusiastic, frank, sincere, and upright. Your disposition is constructive. Business success is possible now, with good timing and a sharp sense for what people want. You may be attracted to sport and outdoor activities or competitions. Great vitality, activity.

230 Sextile Saturn - Moon

Positive aspect: You are likely to feel good overall, at ease, calm, and peaceful. You are likely to notice a strong sense of mental well-being. You seem to know how to draw from the lessons of the past, and you are thoughtful and wise.

You prefer to stick with family or to see close friends with whom you may have feel out of touch during busier times. The company of old friends and a relationship with a dependable or older person may give you pleasure. You have the ability to tighten your belt if it means gaining more security. Oftentime this transit coincides with a time when nothing extraordinary is in view or when there is a dead calm in the life, and it's comforting.

-181 Opposition Venus - Mars

Challenging short-term aspect: You could be very attracted to someone with a very strong personality. Watch for falling for a plan or person now. You may be led astray. Avoid succumbing to intense but very temporary feelings. You are likely to have conflicts between your desires and what you value. Timing in love relationships is off - one person is hot, the other is not, just for now. You can be bothered by difficult personalities, offended by something. Decision making is too heated and impulsive, and is not rational enough.

178 Trine Sun - Moon

Positive short-term aspect: This time of year often brings you smooth, easy energy and perhaps some pleasant news or developments in your personal life, with family, or related to the home. People are a little friendlier, and life seems more doable.

-163 Square Sun - Venus

Challenging short-term aspect: Not an ideal time to make value-based choices and decisions, particularly in love and with purchases. What you think you want today you are likely to question later. Some minor discontent is possible.

138 Trine Mercury - Moon

Positive aspect: You are thinking about, or talking about, your past and your memories. A nice conversation with a family member or a young person is quite possible. You want to go out, move about, see friends. Your curiosity is stimulated. Thinking is smarter because you're considering your feelings and your mind is working at the same time.

-130 Opposition Pluto - Mars

Challenging aspect: You may have more energy than you know how to channel during the months of this transit. You could have big bursts of anger that erupt from within and surprise you. Uncontrolled angry behavior can cause you a lot of problems.

Your ambition and drive to succeed are powerful at this time. You may feel driven and can be compulsive or obsessed, easily engaging in power struggles. Pluto is transforming your basic drive, your desire nature, your anger, and your assertiveness, and it's time for an overhaul. The process is rich, eye-opening, and rewarding, but it can also be confusing and intense while it lasts. You are discovering parts of yourself that you may not have been (or barely) in touch with previously. Anger and resentment can come bursting forth to the surface and it can be hard to know where to direct it and how to effectively manage it. You might discover possessive, jealous, and controlling aspects of your personality that surprise you. Obsession of some sort is likely now as you learn how to manage your anger, sexual drive, and energy levels.

You are learning to focus your energy and rid yourself of wasteful or unnecessary activities. You can apply yourself to specific projects, competitive or individual sports, and other activities with much determination, focus, and concentration now. The aim should be to weed out problematic areas, ego attachments, and bad habits that have been holding you back from living in the best possible way. During the course of this transit, you might find yourself perhaps obsessively attracted to sexual taboos or activities that you haven't yet explored, the "darker" side of sexuality, or a specific sexual relationship (some people meet a new lover at this time that transforms their lives in some significant way). Attraction to secrets is possible now. You may be dealing with so much beneath the surface of things that you are not as available to others as you were previously. Resentments and old angers come up now, sometimes with surprising force, and they may seem uncontrollable. You are acting on impulse more than you are listening to reason, and you should keep a close eye on this. As well, you can be very single-minded under the influence of this transit, and possibly very persistent about getting your way.

118 Trine Mars - Moon

Positive aspect: A very good time for those who work in contact with the public, with clients or an audience.

You're likely to have much success in romantic or sexual relationships or with hobbies and pastimes. Your emotions are spirited, your lust for life is strong, and you are willing to act on a hunch. There's nothing neutral about your feelings now, yet you still manage to come across as level-headed. This is a good time for projects around the home, sexual activity, and anything that involves putting your heart into what you do.

-93 Opposition Mars - Midheaven

Challenging shorter-term aspect: You have lots of vitality and are very active, but you can meet obstacles on the way to your goals. Under this influence you can be aggressive, lacking in diplomacy, pressing on regardless of the consequences of your actions. On the professional front, you may achieve your objectives but only after a lot of struggles or controversy. You might even be bitterly criticized at this time. On the emotional level, family life or life as a couple may well be troubled and stormy. However, you can smooth things out tremendously if you are able to draw upon patience and strategy rather than simply reacting to stressors.

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.
