What the transit calculator shows
The tool calculates the positions of the transiting planets on the chosen date and their aspects (conjunction, sextile, square, trine, opposition) to the planets in your natal chart. The bi-wheel shows your natal chart inside and the transits outside.
How to read transits
Pay attention to applying aspects of the slow planets — they are approaching exactness and have the strongest effect. The orb shows how close the aspect is to exact.
Transits for today and any date
By default the transits for today are shown, but you can pick any date — past or future — to plan important events or review past ones.
Frequently asked questions
What are transits in astrology?
Transits are the current positions of the planets and their aspects to the planets in your natal chart. They show the astrological climate of a given day.
Which transits matter most?
Transits of the slow planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) to your personal planets and chart angles are the most noticeable — they last longer and run deeper.
Do I need an exact birth time?
For transits to planets the time matters less than for the natal chart. But for transits to the Ascendant and MC an exact birth time is required.
How often do transits change?
Planetary positions change daily. The Moon moves through a sign in about 2.5 days, while outer planets can stay in aspect for weeks or months.
