Here’s the one we all know and love-unless you’re a Gemini (we kid). When reading a natal chart (or perusing your Co-Star app), the main focus is on your sun, moon and rising signs, as these tell astrologers the most about your personality traits.

The circular graph shows the full picture of where the sun, moon and planets were positioned at the exact time and place of your birth. The cycles of the transiting planets attest to the stories that make up the bigger story of your winding and ever-unfolding journey to create a life you love.At the heart of your horoscope is your birth chart. However much you have already manifested, there is always more to explore, find and manifest. So for the situations in front of you, what’s the next upward and outward place you want to reach? And what can you find in yourself to take you there?

The ways you find in yourself to respond to the happenings in your life make a difference in how your situations turn out. She can also explain when the key turning points of progress are likely to be, and what you could aim for or expect at those points.

She can explain the why behind them, what could be changing in you, and the kinds of attention and effort you could apply. She can raise your awareness of the uplifting opportunities as well as the challenges and hard work coming up. An astrologer can recommend how you could become attuned to cycles of change that apply to you. It’s a technique that looks at how transiting planets in the sky are impacting your birth chart. Astrological forecasting can help you navigate your life path with greater skill. Each situation in your life will have its own story. You’ll realize gradually, or in some cases suddenly, that you need to call up some new effort, attitude, dormant ability, or behavior in yourself in order to make progress in making your dreams happen, or to help things turn out better for yourself. So during the course of a year, the ‘activated’ symbols in your chart mean that there is likely to be at least one situation, or different dimensions of the same situation, that is changing and not the ‘same old, same old’ anymore. We all pretty much know this, and astrological charts reflect real life. What does that mean? Simply that changing your way of being is a gradual process that happens in stages, and that you can be going through different changes at the same time but not at the same rate. The cycles start at various points during a year-not New Year’s Day!-and many continue into the following year before they complete. The transiting planets in the sky that activate the symbols in your chart have their own cycles of timing. They also depict the types of situations that could be bringing that development about. Generally speaking, several of the symbols in your birth chart become ‘activated’ every year by transiting planets in the sky. In other words, heads up! There will be signals from your world that it’s time for some of your ways of being to change and evolve. The result is an interpretation about what parts of a person’s nature and life will be calling for new choices and conscious effort. Those positions and meanings are then compared with the symbols in a person’s birth chart and analyzed. The positions of the planets in the zodiac signs are noted, together with their symbolic meanings. It began with the ancients’ observations of the stars. It’s about what’s happening with the stars in the sky. It’s shorthand for tracking the movements of the planets in our solar system. But there’s still something remarkable that can speak to us from the sky.Īstrology has a number of time-honored techniques for forecasting the timing of happenings here on the ground, and one of them is called transits. We can easily forget there’s a sky and get caught in tunnel vision when we spend all day inside of a building or glued to a digital screen. The Sky and the Gist of Astrological Timing Transits in astrology are about the stars in the great, glorious sky, and the wonder of it all.
