TRANSITS aka WHAT'S HAPPENING?

The positions of the planets on your heliogram are called the natal or birth positions. Your molecular body is aware of these positions and will always be sensitive to those points in the cosmos where the planets were located when you were born. Remember, you are made of stardust and light and are a unique part of the solar system that is our greater neighbourhood.

By comparing the positions the planets are in today with the positions they held at the time of your birth, astrobiology can reliably present the exact cycles existing for you now and into the future. All of the original research projects completed at the Cosmic Data-Bank have shown precise relationships between an individual's birth planets and the position of the transiting planets during significant events in their lives, each and every time.

The table below shows the orbital time around the Sun for the nine planets in terms of Earth days or years. Every 88 days we enter a new Mercury cycle and every 244 days we enter a new Venus cycle, etc. Once you are aware of the current cycles in your life, it is possible to follow that cycle every time it occurs and observe and record your reaction to it.

I have been studying the transit cycles of many people for decades and it has been an eye-opener. From years of observation and data assessment I feel confident in saying that the following descriptions may be applied to these transit cycles. These are very brief, partial descriptions but they do cover the major themes of the transit cycle for each planet. The planets are listed in order of the length of time it takes to orbit the Sun with Pluto taking the longest time and Mercury taking the least amount of time. Mercury transits last a day while those of Pluto and Neptune may last for a year or more. There are significant examples of transits in the DIRECTORY (look under HEADLINES).

• Pluto - transits indicate a transformational cycle, beginnings and/or endings of something, cycles of aloneness and sexual intensity.
• Neptune - transits indicate a loss of boundaries in one's life which may prove disastrous, highly creative, or spiritual.
• Uranus - transits indicate periods of restlessness, discovery, rebelliousness, and desire for increased independence.
• Saturn - transits will reveal any cracks in your modus operandi and focus your energy on fixes, empathy is diminished.
• Jupiter - transits indicate a period of increased luck and optimism which can result in excesses or a lack of motivation.
• Mars - transits indicate a period of intensified energy and physical activity, restlessness, aggressiveness.
• Earth - transits indicate the importance of the "here and now" in all areas of life.
• Venus - transits indicate periods of heightened or decreased sensuality, sociability, greed, sexuality, and family importance.
• Mercury - transits indicate periods of increased mental activity, sometimes confusing, sometimes clarifying.

EXAMPLE: How a transit will manifest in your life is very dependent upon which planets are involved. For example a transit of Neptune to natal Mercury will certainly manifest as mental confusion and the inability to focus on anything, or make decisions. This transit does not manifest well in CEOs but may result in some of the best work ever done by an artist.  On the other hand, the reverse, a transit of Mercury to natal Neptune may give the CEO that momentary spark of insight he/she has been needing. The transiting conjunction of Mercury to Neptune happens about every 88 days for each of us while the reverse, a transiting conjunction of Neptune to Mercury happens only once in a lifetime, if at all.

EXAMPLE: Saturn orbits the Sun every 29 years and here is a very notable example. Michael Phelps, the outstanding male swimmer at the Athens' Olympic games in 2004 has a "solo type" heliogram with Mars as the solo planet. During the entire period of competition in Athens he experienced transiting Saturn conjunct exactly his natal Mars. Stated another way; he experienced transiting Saturn in the exact position in the solar system where Mars was positioned when he was born. He was extremely mentally focused and determined in what he was doing in Athens. The result, he won 5 gold medals and 2 bronze medals during that transit which had been perfecting since he was born.

EXAMPLE: June 17, 2008 - British performer Amy Winehouse was diagnosed with early stage emphysema; her lungs have been damaged by smoking crack cocaine and cigarettes.  According to her father, doctors have told her that if she goes back to smoking drugs, it won't just ruin her voice, it will kill her (Associated Press). Ms. Winehouse was born September 14, 1983 in a London, England suburb. Her present transits show that transiting Uranus is a little more than a degree away from making  a conjunction with natal Earth on her SOLO-type heliogram.  I cannot predict what she will do, free will is always in play, but her family hopes she will heed her doctor's advice. With this transit however, she may decide to rebel and go supernova at a very young age.

Looking at the transits which you will be experiencing in the days, weeks, months and years ahead will give you very reliable assistance in planning your strategy and understanding what is happening in the conscious environment of your life. The positions of the planets for any given day, month and year, past or future, may be easily obtained from a heliocentric ephemeris, preferably one set for noon time. The "noon ephemeris" lists the daily cosmic addresses of the planets for noon which is mid-point in the planet's motion for that day. These reference books are available in larger public libraries and also on the internet by doing a search for "heliocentric ephemeris".

NOTE: This website has an accurate heliocentric ephemeris which lists the positions of the transiting planets by sector and degree for the current year and several years ahead. HELIO-EPHEMERIS 

The information in an astrologer's heliocentric ephemeris will be in astrological format and while astrological beliefs are unreliable, the information in the ephemeris is both accurate and reliable. The relationship between the astrologers' traditional sun-signes and modern astrobiology sectors is shown in the table. If for example the ephemeris places Venus at 6° of Virgo, a translation into astrobiology would describe the position of Venus as 606; Virgo equates to sector 6 and Venus is at 6°.

It is not possible to predict events (car accidents etc.) in a person's life with any kind of accuracy beyond chance. However, it is completely possible to accurately predict the planetary cycles you will be experiencing at any point in the future and knowing that information will give you a very reliable tool for making short-term and long-term plans for yourself. You can count on it. You live in a solar system environment and are part of it.
