CORE CONCEPT
Transit
A transit is the position of a planet in the sky at any given moment, evaluated against a natal chart's points and angles.
Transits trigger natal potentials and time events. Outer-planet transits (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) describe long arcs of years; inner-planet transits describe days-to-weeks events. Electional astrology selects moments when transits favor the intent.
RELATED TERMS
- Aspect
An aspect is a specific angular relationship between two planets in the zodiac (e.g., 0° conjunction, 60° sextile, 90° square, 120° trine, 180° opposition).
- Applying Aspect
An applying aspect is one that's becoming exact — the faster planet is moving toward perfecting the aspect with the slower planet.
- Separating Aspect
A separating aspect is past exact — the faster planet has perfected the aspect and is now moving away from the slower planet.
