Planetary transits describe the ongoing movement of planets through the zodiac. In Vedic astrology, these movements can be compared with the positions in a person’s birth chart.
How Transits Work
Each planet moves through the zodiac at a different speed. The Moon moves relatively quickly, while planets such as Jupiter and Saturn remain in signs for much longer periods.
Studying Transits
Astrologers may examine transits in relation to the houses and planets in the natal chart. Transits are generally considered alongside other elements rather than interpreted independently.
