In Transits: The External Weather 🌦️
Transits are the ongoing movements of the planets in the sky right now. This is the most widely used predictive technique. It compares the current positions of the planets to the positions they were in when you were born (your natal chart).
-
What It Represents: Transits represent external events, opportunities, and challenges from the world around you. They are the real-time "weather" you are experiencing. A transit doesn't make something happen, but it does create the environment in which certain actions and events are more likely.
-
How It Feels: This feels like life happening to you. A difficult transit from Saturn can feel like pressure and obstacles, while a helpful transit from Jupiter can feel like luck and opportunity knocking on your door.
-
Analogy: Your natal chart is the map of your city. Transits are the traffic, road closures, parades, and weather events happening in that city today. You still have to navigate the city, but the transits describe the conditions you'll face.
In Solar Return: The Theme for Your Year 🗓️
A Solar Return chart is a snapshot of the sky cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its precise natal position each year. This happens on or near your birthday. This chart provides a forecast for the year ahead, from one birthday to the next.
-
What It Represents: The Solar Return chart doesn't replace your natal chart; it adds a layer on top of it. It reveals the overarching themes, focus, and psychological atmosphere for that specific year of your life.
-
How It Feels: It sets the stage for what your year will be about. If the Solar Return Ascendant is in your 10th house of career, you can expect a major focus on your professional life. If the Moon is highlighted, it will be an emotional year focused on home and family.
-
Analogy: If your life is a book, your natal chart is the main character. The Solar Return chart is the title of the current chapter. It tells you if this chapter is about "A Great Romance," "A Challenging Career Move," or "A Journey of Self-Discovery."
In Secondary Progressions: The Internal Evolution 🌱
Secondary Progressions are a symbolic timing method based on a "day for a year" formula. The planetary positions in the sky on the first day after your birth correspond to the first year of your life, the second day to the second year, the tenth day to the tenth year, and so on.
-
What It Represents: Progressions symbolize your internal psychological evolution, maturation, and the unfolding of your personality over time. This is a very slow, subtle, and deeply personal process. It shows how your inner self is growing and changing.
-
How It Feels: This feels like your own personal growth. It's the shift in your perspective when the Progressed Moon changes signs, or the new sense of purpose you feel when your Progressed Sun aspects a natal planet. It's not about what happens to you, but about who you are becoming.
-
Analogy: Your natal chart is the seed containing all your potential. Your progressed chart is the time-lapse video of that seed slowly growing and blossoming into a mature plant. It shows the natural, organic unfolding of what was already there from the beginning.
