Transits in Plain English

Jan 15, 2026

Transits are planets moving through the sky, activating houses in your chart. Read them by house placement, dignity, and how they interact with your active daśā and natal planets.

  • Track planets by house: where a transit lands shows which life area is lit up.
  • Note speed and weight: slow movers (Saturn/Jupiter) shape longer seasons; fast movers color days and weeks.
  • Pair with dashas: a transit matters most when it ties to your active daśā lord or key house lords.
  • Watch ingress and aspects: new sign entries and tight aspects often mark shifts.
  • Work with windows: plan launches when benefics support key houses; rest or reinforce during tougher periods.

Combine transits with your personal timing: benefics on key houses can be great for launches; heavier planets ask for pacing, patience, and stronger fundamentals.
