The int.erpretation of a natal horoscope is an art that requires considerable sir..!:!. To
interpret that horoscope as it moves and unfolds through time calls for even more
skill. This is why a good book that takes up the subject of astrological timing is so
valuable to us all.

Broadly speaking, there are four methods of astrological timing: progressions and
directions, postnatal epochs, solar and lunar returns, and transits. Progressions and
directions are sporadic but discontinuous. They do not occur at regular intervals, and
there are times when the bodies are not in orb of aspect. The postnatal epochs that
Eleanor Hesseltine and I have discovered are also sporadic because they are timed by
progressions or directions, but their effects continue until death. Continuity of effect
is also apparent in solar and lunar returns, whether in the tropical or sidereal zodiac.
They occur periodically, however, not sporadically as postnatal epochs do. Each
solar return is effective for a year. The fourth and most basic form of timing is
transits, which are periodic and discontinuous in nature.

It is really surprising that there have been so few good books on the subject of
transits. Grant Lewi' s Astrology for the Millions has been the qest book until now ,
but it is written at a very elementary level. Thus Robert Hand's Planets in T ransi t:
Life Cycles for Living HIls a really enormous hole in the literature of astrology and
does it very well indeed. Quantitatively, it is a large and very complete book, but
certainly not larger than necessary for the enlightenment it provides on a complex
subject. In this book everyone from the novice to the seasoned professional will find
complete coverage of all phases of timing by transit, Its organization and
arrangement make it very easy to find what you need.

The main problem in modern astrology, however, is not quantitative but qualitative.
Astrology is highly popular, and an enormous amount of material is surfacing in
books, magazines, classes and lectures. Unfortunately, much of this material is
inferior, for there is still only a small number of experienced , top-flight astrologers .
Many ?f us value Charles Carter's book on aspects, but it is not a very large book,
What, 15 re~arkable abo.ut Planets in Transit is its sustained high quality, Robert
Hand s clanty of expressIOn contrasts sharply with the work of some of our leading
contemporary astrologers, who are very hard to read,

sa y that you were born with Saturn square your Sun and that transiting Saturn com es
to the trine of tha t Sun . How do we interpret this? Does that natal square affect the
meaning of the transit? It does, of course, although too many astrologers seem not to
reali ze this The a uthor of thi s book notes that a natal or radical aspect is of primary
import a nce and can seriously modify any aspect by transit or progression. Robert
Ha nd has covered all the bases in this, the first book on transits that really does so.
T he series o f books published by Para Research, commencing with Robert Pelletier's
Planets in A spect, bids fair to become a major addition to the literature of astrology.

Finally something should be said about the underlying philosophy that permeates the
book. T here is a definite emphasis on a psychological approach. Among their other
no table contributions to astrology, Dane Rudhyar and Dr. Zipporah Dobyns have
made an impo rtant adv ance by removing astrology from the fear-ridden fortune-
tell ing tradition . (However, I feel that Dane Rudhyar has gone too far in the other
direction, almost co mpletely eschewing the importance of events. ) Yet certainly their
approach and that of Robert Hand has had a salutary corrective influence . Planets in
Transit teaches you not to fear some oncoming tran sit, but rather to think of it as an
oppor tunity for more growth and seasoning . It is not too much to say that in the
an nals of astrology the name of Robert Hand wiJI be writ large, not only for this
b ook and his authoritative Planets in Compo site, but also for those yet to come . His

Charles A. layne
A transit occurs whenever a planet, moving in its orbit during your lifetime, forms an
aspect to a planet, the Sun, Moon or any of the house cusps in your natal horoscop~.
Also, whenever a planet passes through the part of the zodiac occupied by a house In
your natal chart, we say that the planet is transiting the house.

The study of transits is one of the most fundamen tal techniques in astrology. That
transits indicate important trends and issues in your life is one of the few points upon
which all astrologers agree. Along with directions and progressions, they are basic to
the astrologer's predictive methodology . Yet there is not a single, detailed one-volume
text that gives you an idea of what to expect from each transit. Nor is there much
literature on how to integrate transits into a larger view of the development of your
life as a whole. This text is designed to fill that gap.

Here you will find extensive delineations of the transits of the Sun, Moon and planets
to all of the major factors in the horoscope by conjunction, sextile, square, trine and
opposition, with some introductory notes on the minor aspects. Some readers will
note that the transiting node of the Moon is not included. Although I believe that the
Moon's node has an effect, at this point I am not sure enough of its meaning to speak
about it with confidence.

While these descriptions are not totally complete - that would be an impossible goal
to realize - they do provide an in-depth account of the significance of each transit.
You will learn what you are most likely to experience, emotionally, psychologically
and circumstantially, under each transit. The delineations differ from those in earlier
texts because they are written primarily in psychological terms rather than in terms
of events. In the past, most texts have been oriented primarily to predicting the events
that will happen to you. This tends to support the older view of astrology as a
fortune-telling system, which almost everyone now agrees is at best a debased form of
the art.

!he purp?se of astrology really should be to give you an understanding of your place
In the universe and the kinds of energies that are flowing through you and through
the physical universe. Astrology should not try to make up your mind but instead
provi.de i.nf~rmatio~ upon which you can make an intelligent decision. Obviously
transits indicate times that are appropriate for certain kinds of actions and
inappropriate for others, and certain kinds of events often do occur with particular
transits. But transits should never be viewed as signifying events that will inevitably
come to pass, with you as a helpless observer.

resources you have t 0 face it with. However, I do not support t IS I ea for
several reasons.
First of aIL this system does not accord with my experiences as an astro~oger. I have
found both transits and directions indicating both events and psychological changes,
and I cannot find any clear set of criteria to distinguish ~etween the rol~ of these two
major predictive systems. The only real distinction IS that by theu very nature
progressions indicate longer-term effects than transits. In fact one astrologer of my

reversed the traditional roles and has declared that transits indicate psyc ooglca
growth, while progressions and directions indicate ~ve~ts ..The fact ~hat astrologers
can disagree so widely indicates how unclear the distinctIOn IS. In partlcula~, .solar arc
directions, which are derived from progressions, are used by most practitioners to
forecast events.
It has been my experience that there are two distinct types of people. One ~pe
experiences transits and directions primarily as major emotional and psychologICal
changes, which mayor may not be accompanied by a clear patter~ of events. At best,
it is very unclear whether events cause psychological change, or vice versa. The other
type of person experiences both transits and progressions as events that seem t.o
come out of the blue and happen to him . It is my opinion that this type of person IS
simply less aware of the dynamics of his life than the first type.
The astrologer R. C. Davison of Great Britain has arrived at a view that I consider
the correct one. In his book The Technique of Prediction (L. N. Fowler and Co. Ltd .,
London, 1955), Davison suggests that in the same way that progressions are derived
by substituting one day for each year of a person'~ life, a. trans.it can be re.garded as a
progression based upon one day for each day of lIfe. Thls notion makes It clear that
there is no real distinction between the two techniques; rather, they are two forms of
the same idea. Even astrologers who adhere to the conventional distinction in
meaning between transits and progressions will not hesitate to use progressions to
rectify a chart based on events.
Transits as Symbols of Intentions
I believe that the conventional view is based upon a false distinction shared by many
astrologers as well as many scientists. In their view the universe consists of individual
subjects, who are clearly distinct and separate from the outer, physical universe . The
individual ends at the skin, and the physical universe begins there. This view also
holds that events in the physical universe are absolutely real and independent of any
observer, whereas events or changes that take place within oneself exist on a lesser
order of reality, because only the individual can experience them.
But what really happens? Let us suppose that an event occurs in the physical universe
that many people can perceive or experience. We know very well that each person
who perceives that event will have a somewhat different experience of it. If we get
together to discuss our experiences, we may try to eliminate those elements that not
everyone experienced, jn order to arrive at a compromise that we can all agree up?n
without violating our integrity . Usually after going through this process , we qUite
effectively censor our memory to eliminate the purely personal elemen ts of ou.r
experience, or we relegate them to the status of subjective or imaginary . Now If
another observer of the event comes along, and his experience isn't too different fr om
ours, we accept his experience, again subject to certain compromises, and modify our
view slightly . If his experience is too different, we reject it entirely, classifying it as
totally subjective or imaginary . In extreme cases we declare him mad .
collective subjective experience . There may be an absolute reality outside of anyone's
experience, but it is quite irrelevant to our daily life . We act upon our universe , and
we receive reactions from it in a continuous field of consciousness . There is no clear
boundary line between ourselves and the world , and the observer always plays a
creative role in the observation. We do not live in the physical universe so much as
in a universe of agreements, conventions and concepts that we create with others .
And because of the limitations of language, each of us lives in a much mo re private
universe than we realize. Most events have no significance beyond what we have
agreed on or been trained to give to them . Very little really happens to you , with
yourself as only a passive observer .
It is my belief, which I cannot "prove" here , that within each of us is a creative core
that actively creates the universe, either by making up each part out of nothing o r by
agreeing in advance, prior to our physical incarnation, to playa certain game wi th
certain rules. In this scheme your horoscope becomes a symbol of your intentions,
not a record of what is going to happen to you. As astrologer Zipporah Doby ns likes
to say, character is destiny.
Both transits and progressions indicate the working out of various phases of this
original intention . Although I frequently lapse into causal vocabulary in this book, I
do not believe that the planets "cause" anything. They are merely signs of the
manifestation of the original intention, part of which is experienced as flowing
through you as will. This is the intention that you are aware of. Part of the intention
is experienced as coming from without ; you may call it fate , destiny or circumstances
beyond your control. But this, too , comes from within you, and you need only rai se
your consciousness to know it. Part of the function of astrology is to raise the
individual's consciousness in just this way.
One factor that may cause trouble for you is the inner turbulence that arises
whenever an intention of yours comes into conflict with your conscious belief abo u t
what is right, moral or correct. In order to work out your particular intentions (or if
you prefer, karma), you must have a certain kind of experience , but you cannot
simply go O:lt and have that experience because your belief system or ethica l system
forbids it. In that case you experience the event as something that happens to you .
rather than as something that you bring about. Thus you succeed in hav ing the
experience without having the responsibility, by which we usually really mean guilt.
Astrology helps to disclose your real intentions and thus forces you to take

"language" of astrology contains the f1a~ mherent 10 alllangua.ges, wh~ther ~f words
or symbols, we cannot specifically deslgnat~ the level at whICh ~he mtentlons will
work themselves out. A given set of astrological symbols can mamfest themselves in
many ways. Transits indicate how the symbolism of your life unfolds in time, exactly
as do progressions, although transits give greater detail over the short range. The
progressions indicate a more general structure over a longer time.
Transits do signify events, but only if we expand the conventional notion of an event.
An event can occur totally within yourself as a psychological change, or as an
interchange between yourself and another, or as a change totally outside yourself in
the material and social universe. It is my contention that ultimately transits signify
changes totally within the self - psychological changes, to be sure, but only if you
expand what is normally meant by psychological. However, you may experience
these inward changes either as psychological changes in the convention~1 sense, as
social interactions, or as events totally outside of yourself. An "event" may also be
felt as an illness. These are projections through which your inner energies are
experienced at various different levels of life. This is an important idea to understand,
because if you do not understand how you are involved in causing a particular event,
it means that you are operating unconsciously and are therefore not in control of the
circumstances.
Here is a typical example. Uranus in the seventh house of your natal chart is an
indicatIOn that you seek freedom in the context of relationships. Often this is
manifested as a desire for nonmarital affairs or for a very open marriage in which
love is permitted with other people besides your partner. But if you are brought up to
believe that such affairs are wrong, there will be a conflict between the energy of the
se:e~th-house Uranus and'your belief system. You will refuse to recognize this energy
WIthIn yourself but will attract a partner of the opposite sex who demands that same
kind of freedom. Meanwhile you continue to play the game of wanting a "normal"
res~ectable relationship in which the two of you love only each other. Your partner,
~eehng trapped, then leaves you in order to seek freedom elsewhere. The tragedy here
IS t~at both of you want the same thing, but one of you cannot admit it. Thus you

the same symbolism as the energy involved. In astrology all illnesses are ultimately
Thus in this text I have stressed the psychological significance of transits, because you
have to know what a transit signifies about your inner being and how that may l~ad
to an external event. A transit always signifies at least a psychological event, which
mayor may not surface in the physical world. Where appropriate, I have indicat~
the kinds of external events that a given set of energies is likely to produce If
manifested that way. Please note that the events are caused by the psycholog~cal
energies signified by the planets, not by the planets themselves. Psychological
energies are your real intentions, the actual effects of your true will operating. These
determine your world . Or, more correctly, you determine your world.
Astrology has too often dealt only with the superficial and external significance of
astrological indications. I have attempted to give you an understanding of each
transit's inner significance . Do not expect this book to uncover every possible event in
the outer world that can be associated with a transit. I do not even claim to have
begun to exhaust the psychological significance of transits. But no matter how
thorough or spotty the interpretations in this book are, ultimately you must base
your knowledge of transits on your own experience. Intellectual knowledge alone is
insufficient. You don't really know astrology until you know it in your gut.
Text and Calculations by Computer
There are two ways to find out what your transits are at any given time. One is to
cast your natal horoscope, or have someone cast it for you, and then, using an
ephemeris, compare the positions of the planets on the day in question with their
positions at the time of your birth. This is a fairly simple procedure once you have
your correct natal chart, especiaIly if you do it regularly and get to know roughly
where the planets are all the time . Calculating when a given transit is going to occur
is mathematicaIly more difficult but it can be done.
The other way is to have all your transits calculated for you by computer. The Astral
Guide, a computerized transit calendar based on your exact time and place of birth . is
available from Para Research. Your Astral Guide gives every transit to the planets in
your natal chart that will occur in the next twelve months, with the date it enters one
degree of orb, the date it becomes exact, and text delineating the meaning of the
transit for your life. The text is based on the text in this book but is necessarily more
condensed. The Astral Guide consists of one 19 by 22-inch page for each month,
suitable for wall hanging, with the outer-planet transits and delineations printed at
the top and the inner-planet transits plus key-word interpretations given on the dates
they become exact.

Interpreting Transits
Traditionally there were only two kinds of transits , good ones and bad ones . The bad
ones made everything go wrong, as if you were a helpless tool of malevolent fate. The
good ones made everything go smoothly and ensured the success of any enterprise
begun under their influence. The bad transits were the oppositions, squares and about
half of the conjunctions, while the good ones were the trines, sex tiles and the o ther
conjunctions. But in modern astrology this notion has largely been abandoned. In
theory at least, all transits are strictly neutral and merely represent qualita tively
different combinations of the planetary influences of the natal and transiting planets.

I say "in theory" because it is still true that certain combinations of pla nets are
usually experienced as difficult while others are usually easy . And it is also true th at if
you are going to exhibit the negative characteristics of a transit, it will usually be on
the old "bad" aspects, the oppositions, squares and difficult conjunctions . Bu t some
squares and oppositions are usually easy and quite pleasant, and it is quite p ossible to
have negative results with trines and sextiles . Thus there was some truth in the
traditional view, although the modern view is closer to reality . The so-called b ad
transits bring difficulties because the particular planets do not combine readily; either
they are contradictory in nature or they are totally unrelated to each o ther . T he only
reason that the trines and sextiles of these planets are less difficult is that these aspects
are inherently less dynamic than the conjunctions, oppositions and squares.

Remembering that none of these are irrevocably bad, the following combina tions are
usually the most difficult, particularly in the square and opposition aspects . The trine
and sextile as well as some of the conjunctions may be handled more easily or may
have two decidedly different outcomes. See the individual entries fo r mo re complete
information.

Conjunction:
Beginning of a new cycle; matters involving the self alone or in conjunction with its
most intimate surroundings; the birth of a new phase of life; the culmination of the
process that began at the last opposition transit involving the same two planets.

Se:xtile:
Matters involving your relationship to groups; interaction with your immediate

for reviewing recent events and seeing what needs to be changed; changes involving
relatively little effort; a time when you can act wi th little resistance from outside
circumstances .

Square:
Challenges from circumstances or others that force you to prove yourself or to make
necessary changes; a time when a course of action proves incorrect or, if the
challenge is withstood, a time of new initiative and active forward moti~n ; a

 Timing Transits

One of the most difficult problems in applying the theory of transits is timi~g, that is,
finding when the influences associated with the transit ~each a, pea.k. PreCisely when
will an event concerning the outside world happen? At first, thiS might not appear to
be a problem, because you would expect the influence to peak and th~ e:-ent to occur
at the precise moment when the transit becomes most exact. But thiS IS seldom the
case, because each event in your life, whether it involves purely internal,
psychological changes or external events, is usually related to several factors
operating simultaneously. We will discuss those factors in this section.

Let us begin by taking the simplest case, in which only one transit is operative at the
time. In such a case, you would rightly expect the occurrence to coincide with the
exact time of the transit, but even here you cannot count on it completely, First of alL
if there really is only one operative transit at a given time, there probably will not be
a noticeable event; whatever happens will be too subtle to notice. Very few
important change.s in life are ever marked by a single transit. If you pay attention
only to the ~ranslts of the.out.er planets, it may seem that they indicate important
events, but In. fact you will hnd that there are simultaneous transits by the inner
planets that reinforce the outer-planet transits Or there are ve . T

In the second pattern, one of the three. transits will signify an issue for you to handle,
often arising from a single event that IS not repeated at the other two transi ts . If you
handle that issue properly, the other transits may go by without any notice . If you do
not , another issue will arise that attacks the same problem from a different angle , and
this will continue to happen until the problem is taken care of. Favorable or "benefic"
transits, to use the older term, usually seem to conform to the first pattern . But a
difficult transit that comes three times may present one major event or three , Chapter Three
depending upon how you handle the first transit. Needless to say, if you do not
handle the issue during the first transit, by the third time you will probably be so
tired of the problem that you will do whatever is necessary to take care of it.
Case Study:
When a transiting planet goes stationary on a natal planet, it is possible to have a
double transit. Under this condition, a Mars transit will last an entire month and
thereby become a major transit. A planet that makes a station, direct or retrograde ,

while transiting a natal planet is very significant, and whatever event is signified by
the transit will usually happen at that time rather than during the swifter direct transit
that takes place either before or after the stationary transit.

Eclipses
Since whole books have been written about eclipses, I will not go into great detail
about them here, but I would like to mention some of the basic principles of eclipses
as they affect a natal chart.

An edtpse is a special kind of trllnsit, because as the Sun and Moon are conjoined
tM, both transit a natal planet. An eclipse seems to be most effective when it either
cOl'ljoiftl at' opposes a natal planet, but other aspects may have a weaker effect .
Autharities differ on this point. But if an eclipse transits a planet or an angle by
~doa or COl\lUftCtion, it puts that planet or angle into a high-energy state In
'- capadty to pnerate action is increased, either for both goo.d .or ba~f

chapter. For O case study we will use the chart of .Richard
ur
S M. Nixon , w 0 at t e
time of the Watergate scandals was president of the Umted tates .

First we will examine Nixon's natal chart (shown o~ next page) to see what as~ects
and other indications there are for some ~ccurr~nce like th~ Watergate scandal. Nixon
was born in Yorba Linda, California, 33 N 53, 117"W 49, on January 9, 1913 . The
birth time recorded by the attending nurse was 9:35 pm P .S.T . The chart shows that
Nixon has a Sun-Neptune opposition from the fifth house to the eleventh house , an
indication of a poorly developed reality standard; that is. he is capable of deluding
either himself or others. Note that Neptune is in the eleventh house of friends ,
indicating that he might be likely to attract deceptive friends or be deceived by hi:.
friends.

Remember, however, that this opposition is equally likely to manifest itself a a

highly spiritual personality capable of extremely altruistic acts. Nixon got caught in a
web of intrigue because he worked out the opposition between Neptune and the Sun
in the worst possible way. Neptune as a planetary symbol denies the normal demands
of the ego. If a person with this aspect tries to get ahead in the usual manner,
follOWing relatively normal ego drives, he will run into obstacles in his way . Usually
this aspect denotes a severe lack of confidence at some level and the belief that direct
confrontation tactics will not work. Consequently such natives often resort to
d' . '
evlOUS tactles or try to throw dust in other people's eyes.

hottest period (or him in the spnng of 1973.
Of major importance during this period were the resig~ations of Dean, Ehrlichman
and Haldeman, which were announced on the evenmg of April 30, 1973 . The
ositions for midnight G.M.T. of May 1 were as fol~ows: Sun 10' <,y 29'; Moon
f4' "( 48'; Mercury 20' 'Y' 54'; Venus 16' <,y 00; Mars 24' = 56'; Jupiter
10' -= 45' ; Saturn 18' ){ 29'; Uranus 20' ""'" 12'; Neptune 6' ./ 45'; Pluto 2' ""'" 07'.

We can see immediately that Uranus at this time was closely square the Sun in
Nixon's chart. In fact, if we add 50', the correction for precession to Nixon 's Sun, we
get the position 20' 1> 14', only two minutes of arc off the exact transit as of midnight
on May 1, 1973. The transit had been exact within the last twenty-four hours . Also
we can see that transiting Saturn was very closely exact square Nixon's Ascendant. 2'1 'Y(: 0'
Nixon's precession-corrected Ascendant is 18' 111, 15', only fourteen minutes from the

The most outstanding transits are the simultaneous assault upon Nixon 's Sun-
Neptune opposition by transiting Mars. Sun. Uranus and Mercury . Some of these
orbs may seem rather large. but if you calculate the average position of these four
planets in the cardinal signs, simply by adding up the positions and dividing by four ,
you will find that the average of these four positions is 22" cardinals 15'. Nixon's Sun-
Neptune average position is 22' "'" OS! This array of simultaneous transits is an
example of the principle that an event of great significance will not be triggered by
just one transit. In this case the positions that are not precession-corrected give the
more accurate time. Work at this time seems to indicate that both the precession-
corrected and the noncorrected positions have to be taken into consideration in such
cases. although the precession-corrected ones seem to have a higher success average .
AI Mars and Jupiter were simultaneously affecting Nixon's natal Uranus and his
so. dant . an example of a minor aspect . by transit producing a significant result .
A scen .
The reason is that both Mars and Jupiter h.lt th~ As~endant b~ sesquiqua~r~te (135'>'
but on opposite sides . Thus the Ascendan.t .10 Nixon s chart sphts the transltmg square
of Mars and Jupiter . Squares and opposItions to Mars and Jupiter are characterized
by impulsive actions. Transiting t:A ars was at 2' t,; 58'. and Jupiter was at 3' - 06'.
Their average position is 3' 02 of the fixed signs . Nixon's natal Ascendant is
11 I1P 25' , with precession correction 18' IV 15', which is very close to the exact
sesquiquadrate to the average Mars and Jupiter, especially since the actual firings
took place before 0 :00 hours C.M.T ., the time for which these positions are given .
There were several other significant events during that period. but let us tum now to
Nixon 's resignation speech. It can be used to demonstrate particularly well the
principles of transit timing that have been described in this book because it can be
timed precisely. The speech was given on Au~ust 8 , 1974 at the While Ho

the disruptive nature of the transit. The transiting and natal Suns demonstrate the
importance of this transit, and the transiting Sun also acts as a timing factor. The
reader will also note that the locality M.e. and Ascendant are powerfully involved in
this collection of transits.

After early August. the Senate committee recessed until September, which quieted
things down for awhile and took the heat off Nixon. The committee continued to be a
powerful force in the investigation, but not to the extent that it had been.

During the fall, several other matters took the heat off Nixon. the first being the

Mideast crises and the resulting oil embargo. Second, there was the Agnew affair.
which culminated in Agnew's resignation from the position of vice-president. But on
October 20, the heaviest storm thus far broke when Nixon fired Archibald Cox and
William Rudelshaus, while Elliot Richardson resigned in protest. the famouS
"Saturday Night Massacre." This was the action that led to the beginning of
impeachment proceedings. The main transits in effect on that day were the Sun and
Uranus hitting Nixon's Neptune. The average position of the transiting Sun and
Ur~nus is 25' cardinal5 34'. The precession-corrected natal Neptune is 2S"® 36' . Of
COUIW, these are not the positions for the exact moment of firing, since that time is

with the transiting Mars-Jupiter square.

In this case we shall calculate the. average transiting or~s instead of the average
ositions, because the semisquares are not multlples of 30 . (See Chapter 2 on transit
~ming, page 21. ) We add together all of the orbs, getting a total of 171'. This is
divided by the number of transiting planets, which is five , to get an average orb of Chapter Four
+33', ThiS is quite close, considering that the transiting Moon is part of this pattern
and if we add SO', the precession correction to the natal Sun-Neptune midpoint, thi~
orb is converted from +33 to -18. During the course of the speech , the transiting
Moon would move enough to reduce that figure to 0' , Thus the resignation actually
did occur at the peak of combined energy of all the transits, as described in Chapter 2.
Sun
The most curious factor in this event is the role of Venus. Obviously, if you take the
Venus transit out of context of the other transits, the results would not make much
sense , But with the other transits, it simply indicates an event that affected Nixon's
overall happiness and his relationships in general, not necessarily just sexual
relationships.

Admittedly it is difficult to use the techniques for transit timing in advance of an

event. However. with the dawn of the computer age, it is possible that we will be able
to work out precise techniques for transit timing, based on the principles described in
this text.

Psychologically, the Sun rules the energy of the psyche, what Jung called the " lIbido"

crises in which your will comes into conflict with someone elses. You may be
challenged to assert yourself and stand up for your rights, The area of your natal chart
affected by the transiting Sun points out the area of your life in which you must e. press
yourself at the time. If you allow yourself to be unnecessarily defeated during a solar
transit. the effects may be psychologically quite negative. In extreme cases, affliction
from the transiting Sun can indicate health problems,

Events that occurred in the past may come back to you now through memories d
through consequences of those events that continue to affect you now. It is often :~
to find out what effects your past, your upbringi~g and the experience of Your fami~;
have had upon you. You may want to call m another person, perhaps even
professional counselor, to help you examine the role of the past in your present lifea
You may find that the past has generated behavior patterns that are completel;
inappropriate for your life now and that such patterns are a major SOurce of
tension for you . At this time of year, psychological self-evaluation can be of enormous
help in your personal growth.
Sun in the Fifth House
According to tradition, the Sun is happiest in the fifth house . With the Sun here, you
feel most free to express yourself and to be yourself. Your primary drive is to do What
you want and as much as possible to set your own priorities. You are not especially
interested in dominating others, although you may be capable of it at this time, but you
will vigorously oppose anyone who tries to prevent you from doing what you want
todo.
The fifth house is often described as the house of amusement and recreation. Therefore
you have a strong drive to get out and have a good time, and there is no reason why
you shouldn't, as long as you make some effort to meet your daily obligations a~d
restrictions. But the free-spirited drive of the fifth-house Sun may not want to do thiS,
which can be a problem. At any rate you will feel lighter than usual throughout this

are your own boss, your actions will be dictated by someone else's needs, such as a
client's or a customer's . Or your sense of obligation may be internal. You may have to
live up to your own high standards of self-control.
Nevertheless, this doesn't have to be a time of repression and self-denial. without
satisfaction. You can derive quite a bit of satisfaction from dOIng things well, and that
will mean more to you now than any other kind of satisfaction .
This transit also concerns physical efficiency. This is a house of health , but that does
not mean that your physical health will necessanl y be worse than usual. However, you
will be more inclined to look at your body and to see how its functioning can be
improved. You may be unusually concerned with health and hygiene, which can be
quite beneficial, as long as you don' t get wrapped up in it to the point of obsession.

You may have great concern with children flow, although this does not mean t.hat you Sun in the Seventh House

You may feel the influence of this transit on a number of different levels, But in general
you will consciously direct your attention to the subtler aspects of your psyche, your

indication that you are much more in touch with this part of your being than usual ,
and it would be very good to take a look at your inner self, The activities of the
everyday world do not always permit this, and you can become quite miserable by
getting totally out of touch with your inner self,
One sign of this need that you may notice now is a sense of strong psychological com-

No one can live in a vacuum, and the function of this transit is to find out what that
means for you as an individual.
At this time it is usually best to work and cooperate with other people. At other times
you have found it necessary to be alone in order to find out who you are and the chief
purposes of your life. Now you must ask these same questions in conjunction with
others. Engaging in group efforts and projects in your personal and professional life
will be the most effective way to accomplish this aim. Socialize extensively and study
the people you associate with, for they are a reflection of yourself. Wha t is true of your
frimds is also true of you, for the most part.
Among your friends, strive to establish who you are. Without becoming domineering,
you should let them know what kind of person you are, so that you can fit into the
FouP dynamic without violating your integrity. This is a time for team efforts, which
can be effective only if everyone on the team is a fully realized individual.

Today is your real birthday, even though it may be a day or two different from your
calendar birthday. However, this is the date when the Sun returns to the position it was
in when you were born, completing a full circuit around the ecliptic . Of course it is
realIy the Earth that has moved, but we see our own motion as the apparent motion
of the Sun.
As would seem appropriate with this transit, today is a day of new beginnings A new
year in your own personal calendar has begun, and the influences you feel today will
affect the entire year to come. This does not mean that the whole year will be dis-
appointing if today doesn't work out exactly as planned, but the planetary influence in
effect today will have great meaning for the year as a whole. Many astrologers find
that the chart cast for the exact minute and second that the Sun returns to its birth

Sun Conjunct Mercury
This transit emphasizes the areas of your life ruled by Mercury, There are several, of
these areas, and which you emphasize most depends upon your personal nature . First
of all, you are likely to have many more conversations with people. Certainly this i,s an
opportunity to get your point of view across to others, and you may be more inclined
to talk than to listen, because like all conjunctions, this one makes you take the
initiative and start things. You may be much more involved in sending or receiving
Ietten. This il also a good time to take care of routine paperwork, because your mind
will be clearer than usual and you should have little difficulty concentrating,
This is an excellent day for starting a new business venture. Mercury rules commerce
and favors the rapid interchange of ideas and plans that is necessary in business
activity. Here again you will be helped by the sharpness of mind conferred by this
tranlit.
The nature of this transit makes you most concerned with matters that apply directly
to yourself or that speak to you through your personal experience. You are more
involved in ~amining yourself, stating your position with respect to others and
anoundng your intentions than in examining the world. You are the active agent with
respect to the world at large. You initiate communication, you talk to others and yoU
express your point of view, Nevertheless, it is important to have a thorough under-
tanding of the people and conditions you live With. Being excesSively involVed. in

Sun Sextile Mercury
This will be a very favorable day, for all kin,ds of ~om~unications a~d personal
interchange with others. Even routme connections With fflends and neIghbors will
be very fruitful, for you will be able to get through to each other with greater clarity .
This is an excellent day for communicating something important to another person,
in which it is necessary to be precisely clear . If you have to present the views of a group
and your ideas must be in tune with theirs. this will be a favorable time,
But this is also a good day to examine your own goals a nd expectations. How well are
you working to attain them? Can you change your tactics if necessa ry? What kind of
aid can you enlist from others? People may give y ou oppor tunities and assistance
without your requesting it, but you will have to recognize the value of these Oppor-
tunities and be quick enough to take them up , Th is transit favors all types of
commercial transactions, buying and selling or negotiating deals favorably .
Today is fine for traveling for any purpose, although you will be best served if it
stimulates your mind or has an educational purpose. For example. it is good for going
to a museum or for attending a concert or lecture. This is an excellent transit for all
kinds of study, because you are alert and ready to receive all types of input.

 Significance of Transiting Moon

your life is "set off," so to speak.

But by itself the transiting Moon is felt mostly as changes of mood, tr~nsient
encounters with others, and passing feelings. Often you may not even be consCIous of
its effects, because they may occur unconsciously. But even though these effects are
not visible to you, others can see them. Or you may see the results in unconsciou y
motivated actions on your part.

In tradi~ional astrology, the Moon signifies women, and even in this day of blurn
sexual identity, this is still largely true. Transits of the Moon may indicate van u_
kinds of encounters with women, but the real purpose of these encounters , especialJy
if you are male, is to make you experience your own unconscious attitude. t ward
Y~rself and toward aspects of your personality that, rightly or wrongly, y u u aU'

Mercury
 Significance of Transiting Mercury
The transiting Mercury is not one of the most powerful indicators in the horoscope.
but it does indicate shifts of mental focus and attention as it transits the houses and
planets. Also it indicates the kinds of communications you have with other people
throughout the year. Sometimes it is an indicator of travel , usually short trips that do
not seriously alter your everyday routine.

On another level, Mercury is the everyday routine, in that it signifies the nature of
your casual interchange with the world around you . But casual does not mean
unimportant; it means simply something we are so used to that we do no t see its
effects. Nevertheless, being conscious of the "Mercury function" in your life can be
enormously valuable. Most of us go through our lives without ever really being
conscious of how our words affect other people ; instead we are too caught up in
reacting to their words. We are reacting to them reacting to us reacting to them . and
so on. Obviously if you can become conscious of this process. you can learn to
control it and thereby control many situations as well. Thus it is extremely important
to study your Mercury transits and see how they operate for you . Even though their
effects are subtle. the knowledge that you gain from them can be extremely useful.

On another leveL Mercury relates to communications received as well as gi en.

During a busy Mercury period you may receive a lot of mail or many teleph ne calh:
as well as unexpected visits. The pace of your interchange with others increases when
Mercury is active in your horoscope, and it can sometimes be a very busy and
exciting time. You can usually count on not being bored by Mercury. but again It i
important to note that Mercury usually intensifies the daily routine rather t an
disrupts it.

Sometimes a Mercury transit represents a time when you should ju t it n thin

Mercury rules the rational mind, and in many of its transits. your mind i: un u 11 '
dear. So it may be a good idea to get away from it all and be al ' ne with • r
thouahta. even though Mercury usually likes to be around others.

ego drive, the drive of an enhty to be itself. Only a fully realized entity can
experience the power of Venus. Only a human being who has become as perfect a
manUestahon as poss;ble of what he or she is can exper;ence love. The balance
between Mars and Venus;s rather delicate and easily upset. Egohsm and the desire to
Control may become confused with love, and love may be used to manipulate.

At hmes Venus causes entihes to be brought together in a paSSive manner, resulting in

the creation not of a higher entity, but of a useless conglomeration, a pointless
accretion. In human terms this is manifested in the tendency of Venus to produce a
mOod of self-indulgent slothfulness in which one simply sits and waits for nice thing.

Venus in the Second House
This transit can be financially either good or difficult, depending upon how you
handle it. The good side of this transit stems from the power of Venus to attract
material possessions and money, as well as people. Financial opportunities may come
up, but difficulties may arise from your tendency to be extravagant. Not that
spending is wrong, but be careful, for Venus's influence is not practical. Often y~~r
tastes will be more lavish than your budget can afford. You are especially susceptlb e
to beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects to beautify your home or entertainment
to make your life more pleasant and enjoyable. Care in spending is advisable.
This transit can be quite favorable to financial negotiations. You will be a~e t~

Relations with your parents, if they are near you, are good under this transit. In
general, this is a good time to experience the closeness and warmth of family living.
Redecorating is often undertaken under this influence . You want your home to be
elegant or gay and light while Venus is transiting the fourth house. Fortunately , you
are usually quite sensitive and in tune with your inner feelings, so that your home
decorating efforts should be satisfactory. Try to avoid the usual Venusian tendency to
do things lavishly or expensively, and keep practical considerations in mind.
About the only real problem that you might encounter with this transit is that the
fourth house influences your digestive tract. Unless you are careful you may
overindulge in food and drink with no regard for your digestion or your weight.

interview in which you must make a good impression.
You will get along very well today with persons in your immediate environment. By
chance, you may make a new friend in the course of your everyday activities . The
familiar setting in which you meet will set the tone of the entire relationship, a tone of
easy familiarity and friendliness .
Because the Sun relates to persons in authority, this transit is also likely to provide
oppo rtunities for personal advancement as a result of the favorable impression that
y o u have made on a boss, employer, or other person in authority.
Today is a good day for working with others. Your concern is only that the group
achieve its objective, and to that end you bend your efforts. You are also good at

This is a good day to spend pleasantly at home. Domestic surroundings appeal to you
and it is easy for you to express your affection. You will have strong feelings of love
for your family and relatives under this transit.
Relations with women are especially fortunate today, and you may gain some benefit
through such an association. This is a good day to see your mother.
The only thing to be careful of is a tendency toward overindulgence, which could
affec t your digestion. Enjoy sweets and alcoholic beverages in moderation to avoid
digestive upsets.
Discordant transits accompanyillg this one can indicate conflicts with women ,
regardl~ss of your. own se~ . Your mother may present a problem because of the
possessive smothenng emotion that is characteristic of th is transit.
This type of e~otio~ has a positive side also, for it can be transmuted into a very
warm, protective kmd of love that nourishes and sup ports a lover. In itself the
emotion is neither good nor bad ; it just has to fi nd a n a ppropriate outlet. However,
the one who feels protective seems to think that this is always good. leading to
misunderstandings and hurt feelings in a relationship. You should certainly be aware
of any tendency at this time to confuse loving with "parenting. "
Any kind of glandular disturbance will probably be ad versely affected by this transit.
and women may experience menstrual irregularities .

Your e m o tio ns are s oftened by this transit. You will find it difficult to feel anger or
resentment a ga inst anyone, particularly the people who are close to you emotionally
or those wh o m y ou encounter in the Course of everyday life. Toward friends you feel
pro tective a n d nurtu r ing, and you want to help them in any way you can. If you have
t o work w ith o thers, y o u are able to keep things running smoothly because of your
pathetic un dersta nding of their feelings.
Venus Trine Moon
This is an excellent transit for all matters concerned with your domestic. person I and
emotional life. Relationships work out far better than o n other days because vou are
imbued with a strong desire to be warm and fr ie ndly to everyon~ ;ou met>t.·Oth rs

not because you are unusually convincing, but simply because people like You be~t:;
than usual.
This is also a favorable transit for all types of recreation or amusements at horne f
example a party for a small group of friends. A small group would work better th~no:
large group, by the way, although either would probably be successful.
This is also a good time to look about for ways to beautify and decorate Your horn
You are fond of beauty and pleasant surroundings, an d you want YOur immediate e.
physical en vironment to reflect your emotions.
This transit is not usuaJJy spectacular in its effects, but the days on which it OCCUrs
are pleasant.
Venus Opposition Moon
Like most transits by opposition from Venus, this one is not troublesome ; any
problems are likely to come from doing something to excess. On the positive side,
this transit does arouse your affections and makes you willing to give and receive
love. Relationships with women will be especially meaningful. Between you and your
loved ones there is a real desire to protect and nurture. Moon-Venus brings out the
maternal side of love, the desire to "take care of."
On the negative side, this transit leads to rather indiscriminate affection, because
your desire to love someone overrules your nonnal sense of discretion. This is not
espedaJ/y dangerous, although Victorian astrologers believed that this transit was
likely to produce scandalous relationships. We are not so easily scandalized now, but
a certain amount of discretion is still desirable. It would be unwise to make a
permanent commitment to a love affair that begins under this influence until you
ha ve h ad time to think about it.
This transit might produce such extreme emotionalism between you and a loved one
that you would not be able to handle your problems objectively. If you have .been
h a ving problems with each other before this transit don't try to have a calm, ratIOnal
d iscussion just now, for it would lead only to an ~motional confrontation with little
communication .
If all else is well, this transit should be a time of warm and friendly feelings between
y ou and y our loved ones.

Relationships that begin under this influence are characterized by sobriety and
stability, They may not be demonstrative, but there is a steadiness of feeling that
enables them to survive when others fail. There may be a large difference between
you and your partner or a radical difference in class or educational background.

There is a tendency to flirt under this influence, which need not be harmful, if you
don't take it seriously. Do not make anything more out of an encounter than it really
signifies.
This is definitely a day to look for new experiences. You are attracted to any novel
artistic expressions, and modern art may interest you more than ever. Be careful
about spending money, however, because you are likely to be impulsive.
Venus Trine Uranus
This is a good day for doing something different , You are probably bored with the
daily routine and would like to do something that provides a stimulating, unusual
change of pace. You seek this not only in diversions, but also in your relationships.
The people you meet today are likely to be quite different from your usual friends. A
love relationship that starts under this transit is apt to be electric, exciting, unstable
and short. You are not looking for a steady relationship under this transit; as a rule
you desire the unusual. You may make some unconventional arrangement with your
lover, such as agreeing to have other lovers. This transit also causes relationships to
begin suddenly and then qUickly go through all the stages of a love affair.
You will seek different forms of entertainment today. If you usually prefer popular
music, you might attend a concert of experimental modern music. Perhaps you might
enjoy the more dangerous rides at an amusement park.
This tra.nsit will~ring a little excitement into your life, something unexpected and

Therefore, look for somethmg exciting, meet new people and have new adve~lures .
These will be upsetting only if you are afraid of and resistant to new expenenc~ .
The power of Uranus is difficult only to the extent that you are wedded to your habit
and the rigid structures in your life.

Matters of love and affection are uppermost in your mind today. You are conscious
of your loved ones and your feelings for them. 1£ other testimonies agree, you might
fall in love with someone new, In any case, you are more concerned with love and
your relationships than with your own ego. One manifestation of this transit is a
pleasant daydreamy mood in which you are not disposed to work, other than creative
activity,
If you are in any Venus-ruled profession, such as the entertainment industry, art,
relationship counseling, crafts, or even agriculture to a certain degree, this transit is
favorable, In other professions, you will be able to create relationships conducive to
business negotiations,
This is a good time for any kind of social activity, You feel warm and friendly to
everyone and are really in the mood for company. Do not waste the day by yourself,
because the effect of Venus would be to make you feel lonely.
For most people this is a ~ood transi t, a time when you wtll feel like being with
another person and expressing your love. For lovers this can be quite an amorous
transit. You will have a strong feeling that by yourself you are not quite complete and
that you need someone else to make you whole. T his feeling is not born out of
personal insecurity; it is a real need and desire to give and receive love.
However, for some persons at Some times. this transit can have a negative effect,
almost the reverse of the above. It can make you overly self-involved. so wrapped up
in yourself that YOU do not relate very successfully to others Or you may demand
more love than you are willing to give . But for this to occur there must be a
predisposition to it in your nature .
Another. more difficult effect of this transit may be that a relationship will be blown
up out of all proportion in your consciousness. so that you cannot see It for what It
is. The result may be overpossessiveness. jealousy and unwillingnes to 'e(> a loved
One happy in the presence of someone else. Here aga in. you must have a tendency in
this direction already.

All personal relationships are favored by this transit. Unless an extremely unfavorable
transit int",venes, you should experience no disputes of any kind today, only good
times and agreeable companionship.
This is a favorable day to announce your love to someone, and an excellent tran.sit
for setting married. Venus on the Midheaven has the effect of making you proclaim
your Jove to the wo rld at large .

Venus OPposition Ascendant

This is an extremely favorable transit for close relationships and one-to-one

encounters of any sort. A marriage or love relationship should go smoothly today
with both of you showing a great deal of affection. If there are any difficulties
between you, smooth them out today, because neither of you will want to argue. You
wzll both be much more interested in making peace. If possible, avoid arguing a
position today. Your mood is too agreeable to successfully present an aggressive case!

On the other hand, this is an excellent time to make an agreeable impression on

someone new. If you have to work within a partnership, where keeping the peace is
an important factor in your success, this is an excellent day. Any persons who are
normally difficult to deal with will be easy to handle today.

If other transits agree with this indication, this might mark the beginning of a new
love relationship. With this transit you will attract people who will be good for you
not only emotionally but in other ways as well.

This IS not a good time to be alone. You are in the mood for relating, and the day will
not be complete in any way unless you share it. This is a time to be aware of how
much your completeness depends upon others.

Mars is an energy planet. Specifically it rules the energy tha t an individual uses to
maint~in .himself in the face of pressures from his environmen t. The Mars energy
says, ThiS IS what I am and I can be no other way!" and prepa res the individual to
fight, if necessary, to' maintain his position. Obviously one can have no individuality
without this energy. It is a fundamental part of the ego drive, and anyone in whom
this energy is weak is not much of a personality . Persons with a weak Mars often do
the things that are attributed to a strong Mars, such as acti ng extremely pugnacious,
irritable or argumentative. These people have to co nstan tly reassure themselves that
they are strong, which would be unnecessary if they really were str ong . It is true,
however, that a person with a strong Mars is likely to be ra ther do mineering .

Mars is also connected with work and physical energy, and often its transits signify a
day when you feel very energetic and vigorous . In fact one way to ensure that a Marc;
transit will not cause disputes or arguments w ith others , which IS a sign of
malfunctioning Mars energy, is to have plenty of hard work to do. The negative Side
of Mars most often manifests itself when there is no o ther outlet for its energies .

As Mars transits each planet in your horoscope , the a reas of life related to that planet
will become energized. When Mars transits Venus, y ou seek o u t physical love. When

efficiently by working through a par~nershlp. As soon as you realize this and make
the required adjustments, your affairs will begin to work smoothly.
Be careful of the primitive manifestation of this transit, however, and try to avoid
unnecessary conflicts with others. Be sure that any conflict that OCcurs is ' over
something worth fighting about. Sometimes this transit can signify legal conflicts and
lawsuits. Try to compromise if you can, in order to avoid a needless controversy,
Mars in the Eighth House
Mars in the Ninth House
This transit can be a time when you do more creative intellectual work than usual
and attempt to convey your expenence and View of the world to others . The belief
and ideas that you consider true and important you will assert and defend wherever
necessary. Obviously this is valuable if you have to influence other people and make
an impression on them, but it can also be a danger if you try to beat people over the
head with your opinions and ideas, The problem is to avoid identifying your ego with
what you believe. When you identify your ego with your ideas, you really believe
you are that idea , and you will defend it as if it were literally your own body . Even
the physiological reactions are the same.
But you are not what you think or believe, and proceeding as if you were can only
lead to problems. It is perfectly all right to defend your beliefs, but other people do
not have to feel and believe exactly as you do on every issue . Do not try to force your
religious and philosophical views or your overall view of the world on other",

The effects of Mars' transit through this house can be either very subtle or very
blatant, It is hard to tell in advance which it will be. Basically your ego drives will
create a confrontation with something, which will force a transformation of some
kind in your Jife . For example, you may encounter someone who has a powerfuhl
effe t upon you and causes you to change . This may happen through a con fl'Ie tWit I
thi p rson, or he or she may gain influence over you and thereby affect you strong y.
B cau the eighth house is the house of values that you share with others. there ma~
be conflIct concerning values or objects that are valued, such as pro~~rty an
po sian. The wnfJict might force you to reexamine and modify your pOSItIOn .
In m rriag' or partneffihip relationship, the two of you may disagree stron~ money,
m n 8 m nl of jointly h Jd resource - how to spend a limited amount
What you can do now is pUI all of your energy into expanding your mind. Look for
experiences that will open up new dimensions of reality instead of wastmg your
energy on defending your ideas. Expand and enlarge your present belief",. Travel can
be quite gratifying now, if you don't have serious afflictions in this house by Iran It
or natally. If you do, any travel would be frustrating or unrewarding. It could even
mean an accident while traveling, although that is not likely unl s you have a
number of accident indications coming in at once .
The ninth house is also the house of law and the courts. Under certain circum tane
this transit can indicate legal difficulties. If there are serious affliction in your ninth

house, this could work out quite badly for you.

Conflicts with coworkers may arise if they feel threatened by your efforts to get
ahead. You sh ould try to play down such conflicts unless something real is at stake,
for they will only block your efforts and make advancement more difficult. If you can
remain reasonably conscious of other people's interests and not come into conflict
with them more than absolutely necessary, this transit can help you make great
progress toward the objectives you have set for yourself. But if you feel that you must
defea t every challenge from others a t all costs, it will probably cost you all the
progress you might have made .
Mars in the Eleventh House
This is a time to formulate your goals and actively pursue them. You identify your
basic ego energies very much with the future now, and you want to work today for
the sake of what you can bring about tomorrow. This is also a house of group
rela tionships, which means that you will be able to achieve your goals most
'fectively by working cooperatively with others. This is not a good time to be a
loner, nor should you allow your own ego drives to conflict with everyone else's.
Team action is the watchword with Mars in this house.
But this presents a proble~, since the Mars energies within you, as in everyone, are
expressed through totally mdividual action rather than for or with others. The trick
wit h t h IS t ra nsit is to create a balance bet If' t t and other

But remember that thIS kind of problem represents a poorly handled use of the Mars
energy. If you handle the energy correctly, thi~ should not happen.
Physical activ i ~y wit h friends, such as athletic:;, is especially good for you now, as are
r projects in whICh yo u wo rk with a number of other people .• lars alway:; demands
yo urself in a back-seat position With others That will only lead to negative
manifestations of thIS energy, as dIscussed above .
Mars in th e Twelfth House
This can be a di ffic ul t tra nsit If it IS not handled properly, especially If your natal
chart shows afflicti on to pl a nets in this house. It can be a time of frustration and self-
denial , wh en you don' t seem to get credll fo r anything you do a nd always have to
stay in the background.
For this reason , you will often feel vaguely irritable and uneasy dUring this transit.
This is simply the psych ological expression of repressed energies within you that are
often so subtle that you are not even aware of them.
Usually when you set forth to make an impression upon others or assert yourc;elf
during this transit. you find that someh ow you have created the wrong impreSSIon
and thereby undermined your positi on ra ther than helped it. This i because of the
largely unconscious nature of twelfth-house energies. Past behaVIOr pattern~ that
have become completely unconscious now become active and come into play WIthout
your knowing it. Your efforts at sel f-asserti on are undermmed by these behavior
patterns that you are not even awa re of. And unfortunately the people who are
alienated by these actions probabl y will no t co me out and say so, but will work
behind the scenes to block your efforts. This IS the origin of the 'secret enemies" label
so often attached to this house .
The only way you can counter this effect is to become completely con ciOU$ of
yourself and these little self-defeating acts . If y ou feel emotionally upset , as you often
will during this transit, refrain from any kind o f sign ificant confrontation with
others. Instead, confront yourself.
It is best at this time to work alone as much as p ossible . O r you can work in a ~ cial-
service field where helping others is the primary req uisite . The main ta.' I~ tl et

ones. Nevertheless, you may have to have a knockdown , drag-out battle with
Mars Sextile Sun someone in order to clear the air of tension that has been build ing up.

This transit stimulates your physical vitality, giving you the chance to work hard and
accomplish much. Your health is good under this transit, and you are able to
approach everything you do with vigor and self-confidence. And this carries over to
the psychological level as well, as an ability to assert yourself toward others and
stand up for your views in any controversy.
New opportunities to be personally effective often open up under this transit. For
example, in your job you might get a chance to take on an important responsibility,
which will lead later to a promotion or increased salary. This is a good time to
dem onstrate that you can work on your own and do it well. But you can also work
with groups now, because your energies complement the group's energies, and you
are able to work together for individual ends. The group work you do now will also

However, if you make a successful stand in any confr on ta tion at this time, your
efforts will bear real fruit at the next conjunction or opposi tio n of Mars to your natal
Sun, which will probably occur in about six months If you d o not make creative
compromises now, or if you manage to create more opposition , in that ame period
you will experience significant failures , as the oppositio n becomes too stron for you
to handle .

transit. Also it is possible that you will draw to yourself a person who behaves

kind of team effort that you become involved in is not likely to work. If you can
possibly arrange it, try to work by yourself on a project in which you have the total
initiative.
In personal relationships, especially in marriage, this transit can coincide with
disputes . The only way to handle this is for each of you to make your position clear
to the other, but don't try to resolve it now. If you feel you must blow up at each

when a marriage becomes difficult. In fact, if you blow up more often, the conflicts
become Ies!. acute: unless the two of you are really incompatible. Repressing the anger
you feel now Will only lead to a more violent outbreak later, with disastrous
consequellces and even physical Violence.

On the physical level , this is usually a period of good health , but it is important to

Significance of Tran iting Jupiter

planet of growt~ and enlargement. ~n fact. at a trivial level Jupiter will ometim ju t
enlarge someth1O~ or make an achon grandiose or overdone. The effect of Jupiter'
energy on, your life can range from making you gain weight to enlarging your mind
and consCiousness.

Jupiter has a strong social dimension as well. It is concerned with the social "glue"
that holds everything together. Thus It rules the law and the legal system. 5 well a

course, under other transits , Jupiter can confer legal power upon you.

The house that the transiting Jupiter is in indicates the area of life in which you ar
trying to grow and the means by which you are doing this. The process may be
necessary growth that makes you a wiser and more succe sEul person lin a
philosophical sense), or it may be pathological growth - 10 other words, you are
trying to get too much or go too far In thiS area. Wherever Jupiter tran it , you
should not take the matters ruled by that house at face value. The chances are that
everything will work out very well. but you should always make sure that you aren t
overdoing or going too far . Also It is important to avoid taking more than your
share.

Planets in your natal chart that are transited by Jupiter represent energies in your
personality that are working smoothly and attaining your obJective. But the
warnings given above in connection with the houses apply here too. Do not (verd
One problem with Jupiter is that you should be careful about what you want. becau.;
you are likely to get it.

delude yourself into thinking you have all the answers. You are still learning under
this transit.
Jupiter in the Second House
Jupiter in the Third House
The effect of this transit is to increase your contacts thr ough and within your
immediate surroundings. You will not have to go very far from y our everyday world
to find experiences that expand your perception of the w orld and increase your level
of consciousness. This may manifest itself in several ways,
First of all, it is quite likely that through your everyday life y ou will re~ive an
opportunity for advanced training in a field of study that could be usef~, to you.
Your concern with communication will increase, and you m ay do some wntmg, even
if that is not one of your usual activities, During this period, extended travel may be
necessary for some reason, but you will come out of it understanding a lot more
about your world .

This tran s.it has tra~itionally been aSSOciated with making money or gaining weal~h,
and there I S something to that, for You will attempt to grow in the sphere of material
possessions and resources now. But in a larger aense, what you are doing at this time

you aspects of yourself and of the world around you, By and large this transit favors
the formation and maintenance of all kinds of partnerships, including marriage.
Alth~ugh this transit by itself does not especially indicate marriage, it does make a

will be for the best and will make your life richer and more rewarding in the long run.
It will also give you a much greater understanding of the psychological patterns that

of vision conferred by this transit be accompanied by tolerance and generosity.
Usually it is, but sometimes people react in the negative way just described.
The pace of events may become rather fast moving for you at this time, and that is
another reason why you must plan everything very thoroughly. You could get
confused, not because the situation is undefined or vague but because the scale of
events is too large for you to grasp. But this shouldn't happen if you have worked
everything out in advance.
This is a very pl.easant transit, although you may not feel it very strongly . But If you
know it is comm~, you can act In certain advantageous ways during this peri.od .
However, you wdl have to take the initiative, which you may not want to do ,
because one effect of this transit is to make you feel very pleasantly unambitious . It
may be difficul t to rouse yourself to action. Therefore this is a good transit for a
relaxing vacation or any other kind of good time that doesn' t require much energy ,
This transit favors relationships, romantic and otherwise, because you are able to
project warmth and friendliness more easily than at other times. You are attracted to
other people, and they are attracted to you . Sometimes this transit can signify the
beginning of a major love relationship , At the very least you feel like flirting and
drawing in people who are similarly inclined.

Jupiter Conjunct Venus
This transit helps to smooth over all difficulties in your relationships, as well as
promote friendship and give you a strong desire for happy and peaceful times. You
enjoy being with and talking with friends and will probably attend or hold several
social gatherings during this time. You may also be the center of attention for some
reason, and you will enjoy basking in the limelight.
If you have to make a good impression on someone, this is the time. You are much
more able to feel the subtle nuances of relationships , which helps you make the right
moves. On top of that, your feelings for other people are sincere, which they
recognize and respect. In general with this transit , you act honorably in relationships
and attract others who do also, aside from the flirtatiousness that has been described .
However, this is very unlikely to put you in a compromising situation.

This transit occasionally will bring a new love interest into your life. If it does, and With some persons, this transit brings out a taste for the gaudy and the flash,. If

With this transit you can work patiently and slowly to build something up. There is
little of the tension and ambiguity that one experiences with the conjunction, square
and opposition transits of Jupiter to Saturn. Under this influence YOll are able to keep
in mind your long-range goals while dealing with all the everyday concerns that
anse, Consequently the work that you undertake now is usually very well done. You
have an unusual understanding of the relationship between parts and the whole.
This is an appropria te time to handle all manner of practical concerns, Your mind is
earthbound, but you don" lack vision and foresight. Therefore this is an excellent
time to expand an existing business, start a new one, or branch out into a new area of
.busin~s , Af~er you find the most practical solution to any problem, you move
Jmm~lateJy In that direction, Clarity of intention is one of the strongest points of this
transIt.
Decisions in general are difficult with this transit because you are caught in a conflict
between caution and optimism. Whenever one attitude gets the upper hand in your
mind, the other comes along and undermines tt. Often it seems very difficult to know
whether to expand or retrench . This problem will be especially bad if you have
overextended yourself in the past and had to cut back. This creates a lack of elf-
confidence, which may surface now .
You may also experience a conflict at this time between the desire for greater freedom
and opportunity and the desire to hold on to the safe and predictable circumstance
that you are used to. Often the temptation is to break away from everything and tart
over without the weight of the past holding you back, so you think. The restles nes
resulting from this conflict can cause you to make many significant changes in your
life, especially about your career. Relationships are also frequently difficult
especially those that involve much responsibility Casual relation h\~ and
friendships are less likely to suffer .

However, if y'ou are basically satisfied with your life and you don't eel that your

comes now will be very beneficial to your personal growth, whether or not it lasts.

Quite frequently this transit brings a seemingly "lucky" chance through a friend or
associate. But it is not luck so much as the fact that you are very sharply on the
lookout for opportunities that can benefit you. Your sense of timing is very acute,
and your sensitivity to others and their needs is greater than usual. That is one reason
why it is so bad to ignore others' needs, because you don't even have the excuse of
ignorance.
Benefits can come to you in either your personal and domestic life or in your work.
There may be an opportunity to make money or to make improvements in your
home that will make it much more pleasant. Or you may meet people who will help
you learn more about the world and expand your view of it in various ways. You
have to be willing to let this happen, however, which means you must be receptive.
This is another area in which being arrogant brings the risk that you will get nothing
of lasting value out of this transit.
One other point, In all negotiations and transactions with others, you have a
pronoun~ed te?~ency to o;erlook details and to assume that everything will work
out. But Jt won t If you don t pay attention to the details. The little matters of human
relationships, either professional or personal, are not beneath you. Attend to them
properly.

During this period you seek to grow in various ways through your closest contacts
with other people. You try to create relationships that will further your life, not in a
spirit of selfishness, but in a desire for mutual growth. Often at this time a person will
come into your life who offers to help you out in Some way, usually through d
partnership. In business, for example, this is an extremely good time to enter Into a
partnership or a contact with someone . In your personal life, you will work more
closely than usual with someone, which will work out very well for you both. If other
indications are compatible, you may meet someone who will be important to Y<.1U

------------------------------------------

Significance of Transiting Saturn

Saturn is one of the most important planets to examine in your transits, for it
represents the way you see and experience the universe as you have structured it. The
location of transiting Saturn in your chart indicates the part of your life that is being
examined and tested at that time. The house that Saturn is in represents the areas of
greatest tension in your life, to which you must direct your closest attention. The
planets that Saturn transits in your natal chart represent energies in your life that are
being challenged and behavior patterns that require examination.

Most people experience Saturn transits as if Saturn were an external force that was
utterly out of control. Frequently a Saturn transit seems like the product of fate,
usually an unpleasant fate. But you must understand that Saturn represents the way
you program your universe at the deepest, most fundamental level. Consequently, the
energy of a Saturn transit is never truly external. But your conscious mind avoids
responsibility for what is happening, so the unconscious mind takes over by
programming the event unconscio:Jsly. You do not experience its effects until the outer
world reacts and a "fated" event occurs, which is nothing more than the universe
responding to your own actions.

No matter how unpleasant a Saturn transit seems at the time, it represents what you
really want in life and is helping you get it. Most people are out of touch with what
they truly want. If you thoroughly understand your needs and wants, you will find
that Saturn simply brings about their manifestation. The "Josses" that Saturn brings
are of things that you do not want or need. No matter how much you think you want
them, let them go, especially relationships that Saturn may end.

When Saturn transits a house, you should pay great attention to the affairs of that
h?us e. It is not a sign that everything in that house is going wrong. but you sh0~ld
direct Your consciousness there and find out how you should relate to those affairs .
If You are in a good position, that is, one that is appropriate at this time in rour life
the .t~ansit will firm up and structure that house for you. If you are not in .l g,~~'~
PhOSlhon, Saturn will bring great changes that will be unpleasant insofar as Y0U Tt'SlS.

This transit favors hard work for relatively modest objectives, all forms of careful, necessary to attain them. Others will find you a formidable opponent, Simply because

your environment in very subtle ways, which can ~ead to ev~n greater p~oblems. You
can conceivably become the victim of your own vIOlent feelings, and thiS can happen
in very subtle, unconscious ways. So you have to find the middle road between lashing
out violently and holding all your anger in.
Health problems that may occur during this transit include diseases of the body's
hardening processes, such as bone formation. Arthritis, arteriosclerosis and high blood
pressure are all examples of Mars-Saturn illnesses. It would be a good idea to have a
careful physical examination during this period.

During this time you ~hould work ver~ hard to take advantage of every opportunity
for growth and expansion that presents Itself. This transit gives you the ability to work
very hard and patiently in building up your life , It is not a period of flamboyant
expansion, but what you build will have an enduring quality that will help you
withstand any heavy crises that may arise in the future. This transit requires that
you work for these results, but it does not provide the drive to work, It merely gives
you opportunities to work effectively , Its effects are so subtle that the transit could
pass without making much of an impact. But if you allow this to happen. you may
experience difficult times when Saturn comes to either conjunction or square of your
natal Jupiter,

Saturn Opposition Ascendant

This transit has two quite different meanings. First of all, it can indicate a period in
which intimate one-to-one relationships become an area of great responsibility o
Chief among these is your marriage, if you are married, but it also refers to close
partnerships of any sort. You must pay close attention to these relationshipso Strains
and tensions that have been developing in the recent past are likely to surface now and
must be dealt with immediately! Sometimes the only way to handle these problems is
to end the relationship, so this can be a time of great trial for a marriageo Even under
the best of circumstances you will have to work harder on partnerships and try to solve
as many problems as possible.

Related to this is another possible area of concern: namely, problems with people who
oppose your interests in various matters. Such people can range from outright enemies
to those who simply want to keep you in check for some reason. If this kind of problem
arises, all you can do is try to understand the person's motivation and do what you can
to eliminate their reasons for Opposing you.

But aside.fr~m these two kinds of problems involving others, this Saturn transit means
that at thls tIme you are making a significant breakthrough in your life.

 Significance of Transiting Uranus

uP ' . " . 0 en circumspect
about giving precise delmeahons concernmg Uranus . Almost all that can be said for
sure is to expect the unexpected,

But the transits of Uranus are not malefic in the traditional sense, except to the extent
that you are unwilling to accept newness and change in your life. Uranus challenges
the rigid structures in life that most people work so hard to build. Many people value
regularity and predictability so much that they will even sacrifice personal happiness
to get it. Think of all the unhappy marriages that continue only because both persons
are afraid of the insecurity that breaking up would bring.

But this kind of rigidity is ultimately destructive to life in its highest sense . Life is or
should be a constant, ongoing confrontation between yourself and the world, with an
energy that keeps everything fresh and lively. The problem with this confrontation.
however, is that there is always the danger of losing, so most people av oid the
confrontation if they can. To survive half-dead , they reason, is better than to lose . But
those are not the only al ternatives; it is only fear that makes it seem that way.

Uranus in the First House

This is approximately a seven-year period, depending on the exact length of your fir t
house. During this time you will radically redefine your relationship t the out ide
world. Old patterns will be broken down , which will force people to 10 k upon you
differently. They may be upset by the changes simply because they , like youLelf afe

and Upsetting, particularly when Uranus transits planets from the first h ue .

The effects of this transit can be quite subtle, but they are nevertheless important. transit can signify a time of wild instability and chaos, when events seem to happen

upsets, surprises and instability generated by factors that you are unaware of ,
Typically it is your own unconscious mind that is most involved here, All of these The Sun represents your heart, physically and psychologically , your vital core, Uranus
effects listed above are directly or indirectly involved with your unconscious mind, cal~s the energy of your vital center to break free and express itself , If you live
Fo~ example, it may seem that someone who works against you secretly is part of fate, according to the rules you have been taught and not as an honest expressIOn of

The problem is that there is a real ambiguity in your mind about yourself and ~our
relationships. You want to be close to people and to be free at the same, tl~e,

release the tensions you are feeling now. Suppressing this energy will only lead to
worse problems.
If you try to suppress this energy, it will usually surface as a sudden urgent physical
illness that requires an operation. It is as if your body suffers from the effects of the
explosive energies that your mind has refused to deal with.
The energy can also leak out and generate usually unconscious actions on your part
that set you up for an accident. An example of this is an insignificant action when
driVing, such as pulling out of a side street when an oncoming car is a bit too close
If you are at all psychologically accident-prone at other times, then take special care
during this transit. It must be said, however, that contrary to the older texts , aCCIdents
~re not the most common manifestation of this transit, because most people encounter
Its energies at a more conscious level. Even so, you should be careful in dealing with
any Sort of machinery, firearms or explosives. These are Mars-Uranus ob1ects and y~u

During this transit the structures that you have built up in your ~ife will ~ore than
ever be challenged by circumstances. Areas of your life that you thtnk are reha.bl~ and
dependable may cease to be, and you will be forced to make a lot of changes. It IS hkely
that you will feel a strong sense of uneasiness, because you don't know quite what to
expect next.
When this transit occurs when y o u a re ei g hty-four , it signifies the closing of an entire
life cycle, with very positive results , Th e effect of this transit is to free you from being
so involved in the kinds of mundane c o n cerns that have dominated your life thus
far - paying bills and taxes, making a ppoint m ents and such . This transit signihe
changes that allow you to put you r en tire li fe in perspective and to relate it to eternttv

your life that require significant reorientation.
This transit will occur twice in your life, and the effects will be slightly different each
time. The first time is when you are about twenty-eight , and the second is when you
are fifty-six. The first transit comes rather close before Saturn's return to its natal place
in the horoscope, so the first Uranus-Uranus trine is part of that important cycle of
change in your life.

The first time this transit occurs it signifies that you are no longer an adolescent ~nd During the first trine transit at twenty-eight, you become conscious that you have

scientific diSCiplines are suitable to this symbolism, as are the various branches of the

Marriage is the most intimate one-to-one, encounter" and any hidden tensions , any
problems that either of you has been holdmg back ~Ill come out no,:, Consequently
our marriage may go through some rather startlmg changes, If It has not been
~orking out but you have been holding it together anyway, this transit may very
well signify its breakup, Even in a good marriage you may have more arguments and
disagreements than usual. This applies as well to two people living together. A business
partnership may also be affected in a similar way. Clearly this is a time when you will
have to do a lot of straightening out,

Other types of confrontations may also be quite disturbing at this time, For example,
you may become involved in very disruptive legal disputes. Settle these as quickly as
possible, because you will not be able to count on the outcome of any legal
confrontation at this time, no matter how good it looks. Be careful of acting in a way
t~at stirs people up against you, for they could become extremely disruptive, if you
gIve them any excuse.

ume true as well as everythIng t at man tinS IS true, even though it isn't, comes
co
under telh 'nfluence of Neptune.

The difficulty of the planet's influence arises from the fact that Neptune dissolves
whatever Saturn builds: such as your e~o, your sense of duty and responsibility, your
sense of a definite realIty and everythIng else about the world that is definite , clear
and predictable. Neptune w~r~~ against all these structures . It dissolves or threatens
to dissolve your ego, so that InItially you feel lost, confused or defeated. But this effect
can also make you feel exhilarated and at one with the entire universe. it depends
on your level of consciousness. It is safe to say that most people experience the first
effect more than the second.

Neptune dissolves your sense of reality, leaving you prey to confusion and doubt.
Vague unreasoning fears can result from a Neptune transit, especially if Saturn IS
involved. Neptune can destroy your sense of responsibility and make you feel that
others should take care of you. Yet at the same time, because of its ego-denying effect
you can feel responsible for all the "sins" of the world. This energy makes some people
s~end their lives in social service, trying to make the world better without any thought
o personal advancement.

about yourself will make them turn out badly, First thiS IS not a partlcu ar y gO,od time
to become involved in spiritual or mystical sects, Your sense of self needs ~ounshment
and growth, not denial. You are (lot yet ready for that, and the teach lOgs of such
groups are likely to confuse you and retard your development as a human being,
Similar warnings apply to the study of the occul t in general,
The most negative side of this transit is that you may be temp ted to sit around and
daydream, Reality may not seem as interesting as your dream s, b ut this IS a time when
you can work successfully to realize your dreams , so it w ould b e a tremendous waste
of very creative energy to just sit! Any course of action as described above would help
you become a more creative and happy individual. There is mu ch potential In thiS
transit.

Second, avoid risky or speculative ventures, because your sense of reality is too weak
to appraise the risks accurately, Besides, you are likely to be swindled, If you are
having trouble in your work, avoid the temptation to change jobs now, Later, when Neptune Opposition Sun

On the plus side of this transit, you will be much more receptive to subtle influences
around vou, Your rational mind may be confused, but your intuition is likely to be
very sh~rp, The only difficulty you might have is in making others understand the
basis of your understandings,
The principal challenge of this transit is to keep your thinking and communications
straight within yourself and with regard to others, The quality of your mind is being
tested now, and any loose ends in your thinking or attitudes will become a serious
source of trouble, Any unclear ideas will become a source of confusion to you in
many aspects of your life,

You may become interested in psychic matters and in mysticism under this transit.
You will arrive at a profound and direct knowledge of the inadequacies of unaided
logic, and you may seek to expand your understanding of the more hidden aspects
of the mind, You may even encounter hidden psychic abilities in your own mind,

opportunity to learn certain very valuable lessons without the discouraging defeats

During this time you will not feel inclined to assert yourself at other people's expense.
One of Neptune's more benevolent effects is that it gives you empathy for others and
Instead you may wish to work to help others without any concern for your own

from this transit without losing anything, dangerous traps of Neptune.

Some persons experience psychic ability under this transit , and there is evidence that
most people have some psychic ability, However, you should not expect to necessarily
experience anything more than heightened intuition, which can easily be destroyed by
too much reliance on your rational intellect. In fact, one positive truth that you may
learn under this transit is that even at best the rational intellect is limited and cannot
deal with every aspect of life, You will learn this through your own intuitive faculties
telling you, if you let them, things that you could never possibly know through the
rational mind,
Neptune Trine Midheaven
Under the influence of this transit you are likely to deemphasize practical and material
concerns in favor of spiritual understanding and truth , And this can be a very pOSitive
thing, so long as you do not completely ignore the affairs of the material world , You
must remain connected with the practical world but keep it from overwhelming your
consciousness,

But this transit can also have another effect. You may no longer feel like advancing
in your external social roles now, because you feel they have become meaningless and
empty. You may want to withdraw a bit and look at your life in terms of your own
criteria instead of others' and ask whether you are accomplishing what you yourself
want to, rather than what others want. Sometimes in life we go ahead too fast and lose
track of our original purposes. This is an excellent time to sit back and look at whether
this bas happened to you.
You may also become more interested in psychic, spiritual and religious ma tters during
Ihis time, but since you are searching for direct experience o f the d ivi ne, you are
unwilling to put up with movements that are excessively formal, ritu alized or
intellectual. Consequently you will probably not be attracted to an o r thodox church .

Pluto also rules those energies inside you that lead inexorably to change. It rules
the death and regeneration of the self. as old aspects of your life pass away and are
replaced by new ones that could not otherwise have come into being. Pluto does not
signify death in the literal sense; instead it refers to a metaphorical death. somethmg
that ceases to be.

The energies of the planet that Pluto is transiting become a source of change and
transformation in your life. You may get involved in serious power struggles with
others about changes in the areas of your life associated with that planet.

As Pluto transits your houses. it signifies the areas of your life that are due for radical

During this transit you will seek a higher quality and grea~e~ intensity in all YOUr
.
experiences . Yare
ou no t even remotely attracted to superficial qualities ' either In
.
people or in experiences. You need to feel with every ounce of your emotion that every
encounter changes you at the deepest core of your being.

To this end you may draw people to you ,:"ho are very intense an d w~o have a very
str ong effect upon your mind. However, With the tnne these relatIOnships are usually
quite constructive rather than difficult. Even under the best. of conditions, some of
wha t y ou learn about yourself may not be very pleasan t un til y ou lea rn to accept it,
but it usually isn 't so bad, even if you think it is .

Under any circumstances the overall effect of these encounters is to broaden your self-
understanding and increase your capacity for complete self-expression.

There ma y be changes in y our life at this time, and your relationships may be con-
siderably altered, but this is only so that you may experience a regeneration that will
keep your life from becoming stale and dead .

Pluto Opposition Ascendant

Your intimate one-to-one relationships, such as a marriage or other personal relation-
ship, partnership and close encounters with friends and enemies , will be greatly
affected by this transit .

In marriage. pressures will surface that indicate that you and your mate need to
consider making significant changes in your relationship . Perhaps you have been
reluctant to face the forces at work between you, afraid that discussing them would
cause a blow-up . And it probably would, but a blow-up is not always a bad thing in
a relationship . Now it will become especially urgent that you both lay your cards on
the table and work out all the problems in your relationship that are bothering either
of y o u. Otherwise the pressure may build to the breaking point. This transit can cause
a marriage to break up, if you do not face your problems honestly .

Very often this transit does not affect the marriage itself but brings about an encounter
be tween y o u and someone who will be very important to you, someone who may
literally transform your life. This may he someone in a professional capacity, such as a
p sychiatris t. who will help you learn what is making it difficult for you to live the wa y
y ou want to. Or it may be a friend who affects you more strongly than most.
Unfo rtun a tely i t may also signify a struggle with an enemy who is particularly
powerful a nd disrupts your life. However, even in a confrontation with an enemy there
is potential fo r positive change.
