What is a personal astrology transit?

A personal transit compares a moving planet with a fixed placement in your natal chart. For example, transiting Saturn forming an aspect to natal Venus is a natal comparison. Saturn and Venus forming an aspect with each other in the current sky is a shared-sky aspect, which is not the same calculation.

Put the symbols in context.

A useful transit description states the moving planet, natal placement, angle, orb and time. Houses need reliable birth-time information and a declared house system. The web tracker shows the shared sky and its aspects; the natal calculator supplies your birth placements. Comparing them can introduce the framework, but it should not be mistaken for an automatically calculated personalized forecast.

A question to take with you.

Try: “Which current position is being compared with which natal degree?” That is the first question to ask before applying a general sky description to your life.

Try this.

  1. Calculate the natal chart with verified details where possible.
  2. Distinguish a planet-to-planet sky aspect from a transit to a natal placement.
