The Transit Center
A transit is a planet in today's sky touching a planet in the chart you were born with. Every transit tool, class, and lesson on the site is gathered here, in the order a newcomer needs them.

Transits in 60 seconds
Your birth chart is a snapshot that never changes. The planets kept moving after you were born. When a moving planet lines up with one of your birth planets, that's a transit. Think of it as a visitor knocking on a door in your chart.
Transiting planet
The planet in today's sky. It brings its own job: Saturn brings structure, Jupiter brings growth.
Natal planet
The planet in your birth chart being visited. It tells you what part of you is involved.
Aspect
The angle between them. Some visitors move in, some open doors, some put up detour signs.
House
Where in your life it shows up: home, work, love, money, health, and so on.
How long does a transit last?
Speed matters most. Fast planets bring moods and days. Slow planets bring chapters of your life.
Retrograde planets back up and pass the same point again, so a slow transit often hits three times: once forward, once backward, once forward again.
