We have posted information concerning different
time periods that affect most people in general. It is important to understand that the natal
chart is a snapshot of the heavens at the moment of birth. These planets and positions are frozen in
time at the very second of birth and then are reactivated immediately after
your birth. These planetary bodies continue
moving never to stop again within your particular birth chart. This continuous motion of the planets after
your birth is referred to in Astrology as transits or transiting planets.
As these transiting planets continue their
path, mostly clockwise through your natal chart, they make aspects or angles to
the position the planets were located in at the second of birth (the natal
chart positions).
There are several major aspects as well as
several minor aspects that these transits will make to your birth chart. Depending on the type of aspect and planets
involved, you will experience challenging or constructive events in your
life. Some aspects are event oriented
while others are more of a deeper, inner level, where information gathered
stimulates mental activity. These
aspects affect our thought process and reasoning ability. Some of the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto) have profound effects on our overall development and instigate transformations
that may at first be subtle but intensify as we become acquainted with what is actually
transpiring in our lives.
There are time frames in the planetary
cycles that affect us all and we have touched on some of these in recent posts. We would suggest that you have a chart
diagram prepared showing the position or location of the planets for your birth
time, (this can be done on many Astrological websites that have this
availability). You also can have a chart
diagram prepared showing the transiting planets and their current locations
today. These two print outs together
will show the transit angles to your birth planets.
If for example you have your Moon in
Scorpio at 11 degrees in your birth chart, the planets currently transiting
between 8-14 degrees of any sign would be impacting your Moon. Most transiting planets, particularly outer
planets, begin to affect us when they are five degrees of becoming exact
(approaching). An exact aspect when
referring to the Moon at 11 degrees would be a planet at 11 degrees; this is
when the influence is the strongest.
Although we all experience events during
certain time frames in our lives, also as these transits move around our chart
they make aspects at any given time and will have impacts on our lives when
they become activated (or make these specific aspects).
This essentially is how a chart is read or interpreted. Through recognizing the meanings of each
aspect and planet, etc. we can forecast probable events by utilizing these
aspects as they become active in your chart.
We can also ascertain potentials and time frames when these activities
will be in force, how intense they will be and what can be gained through the
experience.
Astrology is an amazing tool and offers
insights into potential upcoming events.
Due to the varied nature of different planets, the energies of the
planets supply us with information which can assist us to better handle these
events.
Astrology has proven over many centuries its
accuracy. Our predecessors through experience
have outlined how the planets influence us in our lives. Our ancestors have provided the modern Astrologer
with proven insights. Thanks to their
diligent work and through many years of study, we are now provided with concise
mathematical equations and formulas that assist the modern Astrologer and Astrology
student when deciphering aspects in the chart.
