3.3 Transit by Planets
Part
2
i)
The Mars: It lasts for about one week. It energizes the areas of
life related to the natal planet being affected. The native will be more
energetic and will be able to work harder than usual. Mars can also promote
tension and anger, so there is a need to watch the temper during a Mars
transit, especially for transits with the Moon. Plan to keep busy during a Mars
transit, so as to have an outlet for the excessive energy. There is also a need
to take extra precautions against rushing and accidents. One should be on
especial guard when Mars transits the Sun or the ascendant.
ii)
The Jupiter: It lasts some months and presents
opportunities in the area of life involved by the aspected planet. It is a
period of expansion and exceptional opportunities for achieving success in
business, receiving benefits and good favours. Travelling, knowledge and new
experiences are also possible. Difficult aspects may lead to serious
misjudgment, exaggerated or extravagant behavior and sheer bad luck.
iii)
The Saturn: It is a period of limitation, restriction, possible
ill-health, depleted energy, losses, depressive moods, general misfortune or
even death. However it can be a useful time for wise & long term planning,
conserving energy, building up resources, serious study and contemplation of
life & self. The native needs patience as this is not a time to push ahead
with plans and affairs; and forcing matters will not do good. It is better to
accept that this transit will slow down the rhythm of life in the planet or
house involved. It is a time to consolidate and prepare for better go-ahead
indications in the chart.
iv)
The Nodes: Rahu and Ketu are called Moon’s nodes. Rahu is also
known as Ascending Node or the Dragon’s Head, while Ketu is called Descending
Node or Dragon’s Tail. They are known as shadowy planets as they have no
physical bodies. The two Nodes of the Moon-Rahu and Ketu, are as important as
any other planet. It is believed that Rahu acts as Saturn and Ketu as Mars. At
times they deliver promises of Saturn/ Mars, even though their dasha period may
be far away. Their transits over luminaries are very bad and is the least
malefic over Mercury. They become violent over Mars/ Saturn. Since they do not own
any houses, their effects are also influenced by their depositor in the natal
chart. Their transits invariably have an element of suddenness or
unexpectedness both in good and bad ways.
3.3.3
Periods of Transit: The term transit refers to the movements of
planets day today, month to month, and year to year around the zodiac and the
influence of these relative to one’s own horoscope. During transit, the planets
(Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus & Saturn) move at different speeds (Mand or slower, Stationary, Atichar or faster) before and after
retrogression. Therefore, it is important to know the average speeds of various
planets in their journey through the zodiac, which are as under;
