Transits (Gochara)
Transits are the most important predictive tool used in astrology both East and West. A transit of a planet is referred to as where a planet is currently in the sky, and where it will continue to move in the future. The astrological reference book to look up the placements of the planets is called the planetary ephemeris. The ephemeris is the calculations of the planetary movements. There are listings for any year. They can be referred to for past events or future events. Astrological computer programs have this information as well. The sign (constellation) and degrees are noted and compared to the birth chart. When the planets transit (move) to aspect the planets in the birth chart there is a hit, and an event occurs. The same principles of reading a birth chart will apply to the transits.
Houses of Transits
A planet that enters by transit different houses in the birth chart will begin to activate that house and its house meanings. When transiting Jupiter enters into the fourth house there may be an opportunity to move, or buy a new car, since the fourth house rules real estate, and cars. Jupiter is the great benefactor and seems to bring things into our lives.
Aspects of Transits
If a transiting planet forms an aspect to a natal planet then the house the natal planet is in will be activated as well as the houses that natal planet rules. The aspects the planets give are the same as in the natal chart. All the planets aspect the opposite sign and the sign they reside. Mars special aspects are 4, and 8, Jupiter aspects 5,and 9, Saturn aspects 3 and 10. EX. If transiting Jupiter enters the fourth house and conjuncts Mars, then the houses ruled by Mars will be involved in the event. If it is a Virgo ascendant with Mars in the fourth, Mars would rule the eighth and third houses. The move could involve siblings (3rd) or property inherited (8th).
Transiting Planets House Relationship to Natal Planets
When processing the effects of a transiting planet, the relationship to natal planets regardless of the aspects will produce the effects of their spatial relationship. For example, if transiting Saturn is 5 degrees of Taurus and natal Mars is 5 degrees of Libra, they will be in a 6/8 relationship. Meaning if you count the signs/houses away from Saturn, Mars will be 6 signs/houses away, when you count back around (always in forward direction) to Saturn you will count 8 signs/houses. This will give the same meanings of what the houses of 6 and 8 mean to these planets. Indicating with both planets as malefic forces they could produce a serious accident (6th house) or death (8th house). Whenever a transiting planet comes to the same degree as a natal planet then this technique must be applied. Count to see the spatial relationship, and apply the meanings of the numbers involved, this means the meaning of the house in number. The spatial relationships are 1/1, 2/12, 3/11, 4/10, 5/9, 6/8, 7/7.
1/1: This is the conjunction, when 2 planets are in the same sign/house. This is the most dramatic and intense relationship of all. It will have the intensity of the 1st house. The area of life that will be most affected will be the house they are in, all the matters ruled by this house will come to the forefront. For example, if transiting Saturn conjoins natal Sun in the 10th house there will be an event involving the career and social standing of this individual. The Sun could even represent the boss and Saturn could severe the relationship indicating trouble in their career possibly even getting fired from a job.
2/12: This relationship between planets involves receiving and giving, or acquiring and loss. This involves the principle of the 2nd house of acquisition as well as the 12th house of loss. For example, if transiting Jupiter is 12th from the natal Moon there could be considerable loss financially (12th) but charitable gifts received (2nd).
3/11: Both houses 3 and 11 are upachaya houses having to do with striving for improvement. They are competitive and goal oriented usually attaining desires, and due to being kama houses they involve relationships, in the form of help from friendships. Transiting Venus 11th from the natal Moon can bring help from some female friends (11th) by exchange of ideas (3rd) or just listening when someone needs a friend.
4/10: This is extremely event oriented; you can count on change occurring with this relationship. These are both angles and are action packed. If transiting Mars is 10th from natal Jupiter there can be a career change (10th) that may involve a change of home life or residence (4th).
5/9: Here we have the influence of the dharma houses giving purpose or meaning to the life. The influx of energy here will come easily with a stroke of luck. Transiting Jupiter 9th from natal Mercury will bring a fortunate experience involving higher learning or a trip (9th) that is fun (5th).
6/8: This is a difficult relationship similar to the quincunx in western astrology and is actually call a yod or the finger of God. The yod is involved in accidents or transforming life events through suffering. Transiting Mars 6th from natal Saturn can cause an accident (6th) that could involve death or a major life transformation (8th).
7/7: This is the opposition of 2 planets and will always carry the significance of relationships between people. This does not only apply to marriage, but any kind of relationship. If transiting Saturn opposes the natal Moon there may be relationship difficulties with the mother.
These examples are of course overly simplified and there are many other factors to be considered. Mainly the houses these relationships actually reside in, and the houses these planets rule. But instead of conflicting information all these variables usually point to similar things helping to confirm a prediction.
