Complete Guide to Planetary Transits

Transits are the continuous movements of planets in the sky and how they interact with your birth chart. Understanding transits allows you to anticipate cosmic energies and better navigate moments of change.

Planetary Speeds

The planets move at different speeds: the Moon changes sign every 2-3 days, the Sun every month, Mercury and Venus every 3-4 weeks, Mars every 6-7 weeks. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) remain in a sign for years, causing deep transformations.

Planetary Retrograde

When a planet is retrograde, it appears to move backwards from Earth. Mercury retrograde is famous for communication problems, Venus retrograde for love issues, Mars retrograde for blocks in action. These periods invite reflection and revision.

How to Use Transits

The most important transits are those that form aspects with your natal planets. A Jupiter transit brings expansion, Saturn brings lessons and structure, Uranus sudden changes, Neptune inspiration or confusion, Pluto deep transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Transits represent the current position of planets in the tropical sky relative to your moment of birth. When a transiting planet forms a precise aspect with a point in your natal chart, it activates that life area for days or weeks. Mercury and Venus act quickly, while Saturn and the slow planets mark longer phases of growth and change.
