Transits

Astrology examines transits in terms of the movement of the planets. They form aspects with moment in time planets in a chart for an event an entity, person or even a person (the birth chart).

The planets with the fastest speed, like Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars move through the zodiac sign within several hours. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto pass across similar degrees many times. This can significantly extend the duration of a transit – for instance Jupiter passes through every degree three times while Saturn does so once.

The planets that move faster may not be as important in the majority of people’s lives as slower-moving ones, but they are still important elements of a natal chart referred to as transits.

Astrologers pay special attention to changes in houses, signs, and aspects of a chart for interpreting planet transits. In general an orb of one degree will be observed during a transit, and observations are made for a further up to five or three degrees based on how long the aspect will require to get to its exact position and how strong it is prior to that point.

If the transiting Sun, Moon or personal planet forms an important connection to a birth planet, angle, or another particular point, it puts the cycle in motion and can symbolize an important pivotal moment that is a psychological or spiritual theme or life-changing event. It may also impact your identity and how sensitive you are to the other person’s moods or feelings.

For instance, if you find that the Moon is in square Saturn in your birth chart, this could indicate emotional repression or insecurity. However, when this aspect is created by a planet other than your own this could indicate a change of perceptions about yourself; the release of these patterns and a new approach to living.

Progressions

Astrologers make use of secondary progressions (or secondary motions) for interpreting your chart. These slow changes can indicate personality shifts emotional growth, karmic focus areas and notable achievements that a soul achieved throughout its lifetime.

Astrological positions are calculated through various methods. The most popular method is called that of the “day-for-a-year” technique, in which astronomers compare the day following birth to one year of life. Another approach that is widely used relies on solar arc directions: astronomers measure their distances between progressed Sun and natal Sun and then add this distance in degrees to the of the other stars and planets.

These techniques allow you to observe the growth of your identity over time and can serve as a foundation for predictive analysis. For example when Venus changes from Taurus into Gemini, you may feel more drawn towards mental connections than physical ones. You may also choose to change careers and look into new possibilities.

Other significant aspects to watch for in a progressed chart are the ones created by the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. These planets can indicate your sense of identity and how you express yourself. If any of them are anaretic (in a new sign or moving slowly), this could be indicative of something significant for you.

Other planets to take into consideration in a progressed chart comprise the ascendant midheaven , and career point. They represent a person’s self-image, ambitions and personal goals , and are typically the most important locations on a chart. Additionally, they can show how one’s ego has grown, evolved and developed throughout time.

Manifestation

Manifestation is the practice of employing a positive attitude to help your dreams come to life. It is often a matter of visualization, affirmations, prayers and other spiritual practices. Manifestation can be used for various goals, including financial success as well as finding love.

However, manifesting can be accompanied by its own set of issues and challenges. Mental health professionals believe that manifestation can be harmful , or even deadly for some people.

Dr. Ng, a psychologist at the University of California-San Fransisco, notes that manifesting can be used as an escape from the past or current circumstances. People suffering from depression or anxiety might find that manifesting can serve as a distraction from the issues at hand, she says.

Hokemeyer emphasizes the positive aspects of manifestation, particularly for those who need a sense of control in their lives. When they manifest something different – such as changing careers – people may feel as if they’re progressing and have an internal sense of self-awareness Hokemeyer states.

Hokemeyer insists that manifesting is an effective method for goal-setting, which gives people the sense of control over their future. She adds that manifesting can be beneficial in therapeutic settings for those who are dealing with traumas or other mental health issues.

In the realm of astrology and manifesting there are some fundamental rules that practitioners need to adhere to. Start by identifying your objective and be specific about it. Be aware of any obstacles standing in your way of reaching the goal, and strive to overcome them. It’s equally important to feel thankful for what blessings come your through.
