What are Transits?
Transits are used to predict future developments. Transits involve analyzing the current movement of planets as they pass through the signs and houses. This technique is typically applied to an individual's natal chart but can be used in other chart types (e.g. Solar return or Saturn return). Special focus is given to planets changing signs or houses, as well as the aspects or angles they form in the chart.
Conjunction = more of something, relation, understanding, friction, staleness, smothering, intensity, sensitivity.
Opposition = rivalry, competition, territory, conflict, exaggeration, growth, learning.
Sextile = harmony, comfortable, easy, communication, chemistry, safety, boredom.
Square = tension, incompatibility, differences, subjectivity, imbalance and balance, complementing energy.
Trine = bliss, excitement, natural, talented or skilled, fortunate, appealing, joyful, misleading, ignorance.

Retrograde is when a planet looks as as if it is moving backwards through the sky. This is caused by the Earth traveling past a slower-moving outer planet, or when Earth is passed by a faster-moving inner planet. Retrogrades cause all type of havoc 🙃 however they also cause inspiration, movement, change, insight, and growth. Outer planets and nodes are retrograde often. Sun and Moon cannot retrograde.
A planetary return is when the transiting planet returns to the precise position it was in at the moment of a person's birth. Sun and Moon can return to their initial position in a chart. This always stands for renewal or a new chapter in that part of self.
*Transits or transit charts tell a story about the external world's influence on us, while secondary progressions tell a story about what is happening within us.
