TRANSITS: WHEN THE UNCHANGING SELF ENCOUNTERS
THE WORLD
There is a part of you that doesn’t change much, really, from the time
you’re born until the day you leave the planet. In astrology, we look to your
birth chart to find insights into this true, unchanging self. Take a snapshot of
the sky at the moment of your birth, from the place where you were born.
It’s as though a nuclear blast happened at that moment and imprinted the
heavens on you. That is your indelible, astrological schema. That’s the
person you are inside.
But then you learn to walk, you go to school, you fall in love and get
your heart broken, you have a child or lose a parent, and each of those
experiences leaves a mark. So you’re not precisely the same person you
were on the day you were born.
Astrology acknowledges both realities: that there is an unchanging core
deep within each one of us, and that a shy, vulnerable infant can grow into a
poised, strong adult. The birth chart is what we set out with, the knapsack
full of traits and native weaponry that we carry into the world for
sustenance and protection. But along the way, we encounter the world, it
encounters us, and things change.
Astrologers call these encounters transits.
WHAT ARE TRANSITS?
In astrology, the term transits refers to the ongoing movement of the
planets, in contrast to their positions at your birth or when some other
notable event occurred. Because they are connected to current reality,
transits reflect our collective reality, the world we’re all living in together.
Transits are like cards that the world deals us, and what we do with them—
how we play the hand—is what changes us and determines the course of
our destiny.
Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky at the moment you were born.
But what happened in the next moment? The planets continued to move,
that’s what happened. Some of them move quickly, and others at the pace of
drying paint. Take a snapshot of that same sky from the same place just
twenty-four hours later, and you’d see some changes, but not many.
Some slightly different stars would be rising on the horizon and
culminating overhead. Most noticeably, the Moon would be in another part
of the sky. The Moon is our fastest-moving celestial companion: In just
twenty-eight days, it makes a complete lap of the ecliptic, covering 360
degrees and every zodiac sign.
But everything else on that next day will most likely be just about where
you left it. You’d have to come back in a month to see much movement
from Mercury, the Sun, Venus, or Mars. Jupiter occupies the same, narrow
30-degree span of sky for an entire year, and Saturn for about two and a half
years. As for Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto… well, you wouldn’t see them at
all, but rest assured, they’ll have hardly budged.
We live in an orderly universe, and nowhere is this more evident than in
our solar system. The planets move in predictable cycles, revisiting the
same points in the zodiac at regular intervals. For instance, each year,
within a day on either side of your birthday, the Sun returns to the same
point in the sky that it occupied at your birth. “Many happy returns” indeed! |
