LESSON 11
Transits
The effects of transits are also important considerations and should be figured for
finding daily results. The sub-dasa is a long period and for finding the date of the event
we have to consider the transit of the Sun.
To find out a daily routine however, the transit of all the planets have to be taken into
consideration.
The Sarvastakavarga points of each house are used for this procedure. The points of
each house in the Sarva chart are taken for each planet that transits that particular
house and added together for each day. The average points for a day are 196. More
than this means that the person will have a good day. Less than 196 points, means
that there will be some worry. From this, we can easily find day to day results and
calculate them for weeks, months or years in advance.
Example:
Lets say a person has the following Sarva points as shown in the chart below (Figure
1), for an AQUARIUS Ascendant.

Now suppose we have to find the total points of the day in question. Lets start with
January 23rd, 2001.
The transiting planets for this day are shown in the Sarva chart below in RED (Figure
2), as they pass thru these particular signs. We can easily see that The Sun is in
Capricorn and will take 27 points, the Moon is in Sagittarius with 31 points, Mars is in
Libra with 19 points, Mercury is also in Capricorn with 27 points, Jupiter is in Taurus
with 35 points, Venus is in Aquarius with 31 points, and Saturn is also in Taurus with 35
points. If we total all these points, we come up with 205 points for the day.
Similarly, on the 24th of January, only the Moon will change signs into Capricorn, so the
total points are 201.

In this way, points for each day can easily be tallied up and tabulated for this person as
follows:

These numbers will show the high points and low points of a persons daily feelings
and moods. From the above calculations, it seems that this person will enjoy the life up
to the middle of August 2001. Then, in November, as the points drop down, it indicates
a time of more stress and worry.
