Particular attention is paid to changes of sign, or house, and to the aspects or angles the transiting planets make with the natal chart. A particularly important transit is the planetary return. This occurs when a transiting planet returns to the same point in the sky that it occupied at the moment of a person's birth. What this means is that ...
Planetary transits and occultations. In astronomy, planetary transits and occultations occur when a planet passes in front of another object, as seen by an observer. The occulted object may be a distant star, but in rare cases it may be another planet, in which case the event is called a mutual planetary occultation or mutual planetary transit ...
The main significance of progressed planets is when they form aspects with planets in the natal chart. [8] Progressed aspects are usually limited to an orb of one degree either side of the natal planet. The following is a brief description of the effect of progressed aspects: Progressed Sun: A period of major importance. Psychologically, and ...
A transit of Venus takes place when Venus passes directly between the Sun and the Earth (or any other superior planet), becoming visible against (and hence obscuring a small portion of) the solar disk. During a transit, Venus is visible as a small black circle moving across the face of the Sun. Transits of Venus reoccur periodically.

In astronomy, a transit (or astronomical transit) is the passage of a celestial body directly between a larger body and the observer. As viewed from a particular vantage point, the transiting body appears to move across the face of the larger ...
In astrology, planets have a meaning different from the astronomical understanding of what a planet is.Before the age of telescopes, the night sky was thought to consist of two similar components: fixed stars, which remained motionless in relation to each other, and moving objects/"wandering stars" (Ancient Greek: ἀστέρες πλανῆται, romanized: asteres planetai), which moved ...
Venus in Gemini is an especially sweet transit for Libra, Aquarius, and Sagittarius. For Gemini’s fellow air signs Libra and Aquarius this transit brings a touch of romance and play, as well as ...
The first planetary transit observed (by already known exoplanet) was caused by HD 209458 b. The most massive transiting exoplanet is KELT-1b which masses 27.23 MJ (making it a brown dwarf) while the least massive is Kepler-42d which masses less than 0.003 MJ or 0.9 ME. [2] The largest exoplanet known is HAT-P-32b which is 2.037 RJ.
