Transits
Using a computer program, or any standard ephemeris
table, we can track each planet as it moves through the
houses. Please note that all of these bodies—the Sun,
the Moon, and the planets—move at different speeds.
The Moon moves so fast that most astrologers don't
even bother to track it on a chart form such as this bi-
wheel form. On the other hand, the slowest moving
planet, Pluto, can spend years in one house. Which
brings us to our next topic: how do we interpret these
transiting planets moving through our houses?
Interpreting Transits
As mentioned above, when astrologers speak of transits,
they are referring to the Sun, the Moon and the planets
as they exist today in the heavens above us, in other
words: what is happening right now. A chart wheel with
today's transiting planets is identical to a natal chart for
someone born today. These two charts are the same
