Planetary transits refer to the movement of planets through the zodiac after a person’s birth. In Vedic astrology, these current positions can be compared with the positions recorded in a person’s birth chart.
What Are Transits?
Unlike the birth chart, which represents a fixed moment in time, planetary transits are continuously changing. Astrologers can study these movements when interpreting different periods of life.
Why Transits Matter
Different planets move at different speeds. The Moon changes signs relatively quickly, while planets such as Jupiter and Saturn remain in a sign for much longer periods.
Exploring Transits
Transits are generally considered alongside the natal chart and other elements of Vedic astrology rather than being interpreted in isolation.
