🔮 Transits & Progressions: Tracking Life’s Cosmic Cycles
Astrology isn’t just about your birth chart — it’s about how the ongoing dance of the planets continues to interact with your chart over time. 🌌✨
Two key timing tools astrologers use are transits and progressions.
🌟 What Are Transits?
Transits are the real-time (or future) movements of planets across the sky, compared to where they were when you were born.
For example:
- Saturn is currently in Pisces → if you have planets in Pisces or Virgo, you’re feeling a Saturn transit!
- Jupiter conjunct your natal Venus → a time of expanded love, joy, or creativity.
Transits highlight:
✅ External events or pressures
✅ Shifts in focus, opportunity, or challenge
✅ Times of growth, consolidation, or release
✨ “Transits are like cosmic weather — sometimes sunny, sometimes stormy, always moving.”
🔄 What Are Progressions?
Progressions are symbolic movements that reflect your inner development over time.
The most common method is secondary progressions — where one day after birth equals one year of life.
For example:
- If you’re 30 years old → your progressed chart looks at the planetary positions 30 days after your birth.
Progressions show:
✅ Internal shifts in mindset, emotion, or perspective
✅ Gradual, unfolding life phases
✅ How your evolving self reshapes your birth chart potential
🌿 Using Transits and Progressions Together
Astrologers combine both to get a fuller picture:
- Progressions → internal changes and readiness
- Transits → external triggers and opportunities
Example: You may experience a powerful Pluto transit, but if your progressed chart isn’t aligned for transformation, you might resist or miss the opening.
Together, they help answer:
✅ Why now?
✅ What’s shifting, and how can you align with it?
🌟 “Astrology’s magic lies not in predicting events, but in revealing the unfolding dance between soul and cosmos.”
