Transit of Planets
3.1.1 As
brought out earlier, in Vedic astrology, transit influences are analyzed from
natal Moon or Janam Rashi. Although
in some cases, ascendant is also used to judge the transit influences. Western
astrologers, however, use Sun lagna more frequently. In India, so much
importance is given to Janam Rashi,
that if date & time of birth of a native is not known, and his birth chart
is not available or the position of his natal Moon cannot be ascertained, it is
fixed according to the first syllable of the name of the native. In Vedic
astrology, it is accepted principle that the first syllable of a native’s name
vibrates with influences which correspond to position of Moon in a certain sign
& Nakshtra.
3.1.2 Transits
of planets are often used in Vedic astrology to forecast future trends and
developments. This is normally done with reference to the birth or natal chart
of a native. Transits are determined by comparing the positions of planets in
the heavens on a given date to those of the natal horoscope, the aspects it
makes to the natal planets and its position in the natal houses. To understand
a transit, look to the sign and house position, the planet is transiting. These
indicate the practical affairs of the life activated by the transiting planet.
Next consider the aspects made by the transiting planet to any natal planet,
during its transit through the house. The type of aspect being made, the sign
and houses ruled by the transiting planet, and the natal planet that is being
aspected, along with the sign and houses, the natal planet rules, will
influence the affairs of that house. Particular attention is paid to change of
sign/house and the aspects the transiting planets make with the planets in the
natal chart.
3.1.3.
The pattern of the natal chart always determines the value of the transiting
planets. For example, if the Sun and Jupiter are in a difficult aspect in natal
chart, a positive/ easy aspect between them will not produce the expected
benefic result. Also if the planets are not aspected in the natal chart,
transiting aspects will have no effect on the native. In short, each native
carries the pattern of his natal chart with him all his life and the transiting
movements of the planets indicate the time when the potential of the natal
chart will find opportunity for developments.
3.1.4
The transits that have the most dramatic and marked influences are those which
reinforce natal aspects and involve the same planets. For example, a natal
square between Mars and Mercury indicates a tendency towards irritability and
mental vehemence; thus whenever transiting Mars or Mercury makes a square,
conjunction or opposition to natal mars or Mercury, the native experiences
unusual irritation and mental annoyance. This is because transiting Mars or
Mercury is reinforcing a natal stress aspect involving these two planets.
