Transits
Astrology studies transits as the motion of planets. They make aspects with the moment in time planets in the chart of an event, entity or person (the birth chart).
The faster-moving planets such as Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars move through the zodiac in just several hours. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto pass through similar degrees several times. This can greatly increase the duration of a transit such that Jupiter passes through every degree three times while Saturn only at least once.
Faster-moving planets may not be as important in many people’s lives than slower-moving ones are, but they still create important aspects of a natal chart referred in transits.
Astrologers pay focus on changes in the signs, houses and aspects of a chart for interpreting planet transits. In most cases an orb of one degree is observed during a transit; then observations can be made for a further up to five or three degrees depending on how long the aspect will take to become exact and the strength of the aspect leading up to that point.
When an eclipsing Sun, Moon or personal planet makes an important connection to a birth planet, angle, or another particular point, it puts the stage for the cycle to move forward and could be a signifying a major turning point in a spiritual or psychological issue or life event. It may also impact your identity and the degree of your sensitivity to the other person’s feelings or moods.
For instance, if the Moon is in square Saturn within your chart of birth, this could indicate emotional repression or insecurity. Conversely, when this aspect is influenced by another planet this could indicate a change of your self-perception; the release of these patterns and a fresh way of living.
Progressions
Astrologers use second progressions (or secondary movements) to interpret your chart. These subtle changes could be a sign of personality changes, emotional development, important areas of focus in the karmic realm and accomplishments that souls have achieved throughout its lifetime.
Astrological positions are calculated using various methods. The most widely-used technique is known as the “day-for-a-year” technique, in which astronomers compare the first day of birth with one year of life. Another approach that is widely used uses solar arc directions Astronomers measure the distance between the progressed Sun and the birth Sun and then apply the distance in degrees to all other planets and points.
These methods offer a way to monitor the evolution of your personal identity over time and can serve as a basis to make predictions. For instance when Venus changes from Taurus into Gemini and you feel more drawn to connections with your mind than physical ones. You may also choose to change careers and explore new options.
Other important aspects to look for in a progressed chart include those formed through these planets: the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars. These planets can represent your sense of self-identity and also the way you present your personality. In the event that any is anaretic (in a new sign or moving at a slow pace) it could indicate something that is important to you.
Other planets to take into consideration on a chart that is progressed are the ascensant midheaven , and the career point. They represent a person’s self-image, ambitions and personal objectives and are often the most important points on the chart. Furthermore, these can reveal how one’s self-image has changed, evolved and developed in the course of time.
Manifestation
The practice of manifesting is applying a positive mental attitude to help your dreams come real. It is often a matter of visualization, affirmations, prayers and other religious practices. The power of manifestation can be utilized for numerous goals like the achievement of financial goals and finding love.
However, manifestation may come with it’s own set of problems and challenges. Mental health professionals believe that manifestation can be harmful or even dangerous for certain people.
Dr. Ng, a psychologist at University of California-San Francisco, notes that manifesting can be used to escape from the past or current situations. Patients suffering from depression or anxiety may find that manifesting can serve as a way to distract themselves from their issues, she states.
Hokemeyer highlights the positive benefits of manifestation, particularly for those who need a sense of control in their lives. By manifesting something that is new, such as an opportunity to change careers – individuals may feel as if they’re making progress , and also have an awareness of themselves, she states.
Hokemeyer emphasizes that manifesting can be an effective approach to goal setting, giving people an opportunity to control their future. She adds that manifesting can be beneficial when it comes to therapeutic settings for those suffering from trauma or other mental health issues.
In the realm of the realm of astrology and manifestation, there are some basic guidelines that all practitioners must follow. Start by identifying your objective and be clear about it. Identify any obstacles standing between you and achieving it, and then take steps to conquer these obstacles. It’s equally important to feel gratitude for all the blessings that are brought your way.
