Transits, Progressions, Synastry and Horary
The natal chart is the sky at birth. To look at the present and the coming months, or at a relationship, astrologers use the methods below; you will find each section under your natal chart once it is cast.
- Transits
- The planets' current (or chosen) positions compared with your natal chart. Transiting Saturn square your natal Sun, for example, often marks a time of pressure and course correction. Our timeline shades busier periods darker: more change, not good or bad.
- Secondary progressions
- A chart advanced by "one day after birth for each year of life". It changes slowly and symbolises inner growth; the progressed Moon, for instance, changes sign about every two and a half years.
- Life cycles
- Jupiter returns (about every 12 years), Saturn returns (around 29 and 58) and the Uranus opposition (early forties) are turning points many people share.
- Synastry
- Enter another person's birth details to compare the aspects between your two charts: attraction, complement and friction.
- Horary
- No birth data needed: the chart is cast for the moment you ask a specific question, such as "Will I get this job?". Choose the question type and our chart finds the house and planets that stand for it by traditional rules.
