are highly
sensitive areas when touched by transiting (current placement) planets.
The planets
are also important in event forecasting, especially the outer planets (Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) due to their slow rate of travel through the
zodiac. Due to the slow speed of their movement, the energies have a
longer effect and can affect an area of your chart for several years.
Although you will be affected during the whole period of the aspect, the closer
the aspect is to being direct, the stronger the energy.
It is
important to look at the planet that is being transited and the natal aspects
(aspects in your birth chart) to this planet along with any other transits or
progressions that are influencing the degree in question. If a natal
planet has any other planets or key point in the birth chart affecting it by
natal aspect, these additional planets or key points will also be affected by
the transit in question. The more aspects a natal planet receives from
other natal planets and key points, the stronger the influence will be.
The energy of the planets involved and the house placements will help define
how the energies might be released. The overall picture, which includes
the transiting planet, its house position and its natal position must be taken
into consideration when unlocking the potential of a transit when it occurs.
When a
transiting outer planet is within one degree of being direct to a natal planet
by aspect, you should look at the transits of Uranus, Mars, the Sun as well as
the progressed Moon. When any of these planets
activate the natal planet being affected, the energies will be released.
For
example, let’s say that transiting Pluto is squaring your natal Sun. This
aspect indicates that changes on a personal level are taking place. This
could also have a professional effect, but much will be determined by the house
placement of the Sun and also Pluto. The closer the degree is to being
direct, the stronger the aspect. With our example of the square, we would
suggest that the planets are 0 degrees and 20 minutes apart, so the energies
are strong as they are only out by half a degree). It is also necessary
to check to see if one of the planets that trigger an event is in the same
degree particularly by conjunction, as this will undoubtedly activate an event
and stimulate activity to take place.
Uranus can
usually be used on its own to the exact degree to the minute defining activity
in the area of life depicted by house positions. Mars and the Sun will
also activate what is potentially promised, but Uranus can often be counted on
to release the energies often exact within a couple of days. If
transiting Uranus is making the aspect in the natal chart, this might be enough
to determine when things will happen, but Uranus is very unpredictable and what
to expect might be very difficult to pinpoint as with Uranus you have to expect
the unexpected.
These
timing factors can often help determine the potential timeline within a one
month. These timing planets can help define when things will
happen. The transit itself when separating (exact separation) from the
natal point in question will also define how long the energies are
active. The energies will begin to subside after the exact aspect (with a
square for example exactly 90 degrees) begins to separate.
With the
proper delineation of a chart, Astrology can definitely point the way, although
we as individuals still make the final decisions and our attitude towards any
event will defines how the energies of that event will affect us.
