A transit chart overlays the current sky on your natal chart and answers the question "what's happening right now?". Step the date and time forwards or backwards — from minutes to months — to watch a period open and close.
What is a transit?
A transit is the relationship a real-time moving planet forms with a point in your natal chart. Transiting Saturn crossing your 7th house brings responsibility and testing in relationships; transiting Jupiter entering your 10th opens a window of professional expansion.
Fast planets (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars) set the daily and weekly mood. Slow planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) describe structural change that plays out over months and years.
How to read a transit chart
Start with the natal house the transiting planet is moving through — that is the subject. Then read the aspects it makes to natal planets: conjunctions mark beginnings, squares and oppositions bring pressure and decision points, trines and sextiles bring easy opportunity.
A transit's influence begins before the aspect is exact and lingers afterwards. Retrograde planets can form the same aspect three times, which is why the same theme returns months apart.
Who is it for?
Anyone timing a job change, a move, or a relationship decision — and anyone simply asking why the last few weeks have felt the way they have.
Frequently asked questions
What does a transit chart show?
How current planetary positions interact with the houses and planets of your birth chart — in other words, the astrological theme of the period you're in.
Can I look at future transits?
Yes. Move the date and time by minutes, hours, days, weeks or months to explore both past and upcoming transits.
Which transits matter most?
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto transits reshape life structures over long periods; Jupiter marks expansion, and Mars acts as a short-term trigger.
