✦ Planet Transits
What are planetary transits — and how to read yours
A planetary transit is where the planets are moving in the sky right now, measured against the fixed positions in your birth chart. As transiting planets form aspects — conjunction, square, trine, opposition or sextile — to your natal Sun, Moon, Ascendant and planets, they activate the themes tied to those placements. Transits are the engine behind “what is happening to me astrologically right now.”
This free transit calculator shows your current planetary transits in real time. Add your birth date, exact time and place and it overlays today’s sky onto your natal chart, listing every active aspect with an intensity score and a plain-language summary of what it means — so you can see at a glance which transits are worth your attention today.
Transit speed determines how long an influence lasts. The Moon’s transits pass in hours; the Sun and inner planets take days to weeks; Jupiter and Saturn unfold over weeks to months; and the slow outer planets — Uranus, Neptune and Pluto — can aspect a single natal point for months or years, marking the major chapters of your life.
Enter your details in the transit calculator below to see your aspects forming today, then open your Yearly Roadmap for the full-year forecast or your Birth Chart for the natal placements every transit is measured against.

Why transit tracking matters
Moving planets, same birth chart
Transits show how today’s sky activates your birth chart: a Jupiter line to your Sun may open doors, while Saturn may ask for structure. Seeing both together prevents the feeling that astrology contradicts itself week to week.
Connect transits to decisions
Transits do not decide for you; they time pressure and opportunity. Pairing transit awareness with a clear birth chart helps you choose when to launch, pause, or repair—especially in work and relationships.
Relationship timing
Venus and Mars transits often headline love stories, but compatibility and kundali match still describe the baseline bond between two people. Think of transits as weather on top of terrain.
✦ Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a planetary transit in astrology?
A transit occurs when a moving planet forms a significant geometric angle — conjunction, opposition, trine, square, or sextile — to a planet or sensitive point in your natal chart, activating the themes associated with that placement.
How long do planetary transits last?
Transit duration varies widely by planet speed. The Moon forms transits lasting hours; the Sun and inner planets, days to weeks; Jupiter and Saturn, weeks to months; and the outer planets (Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) may aspect a natal point for months or years.
Which transits have the biggest impact?
Slow outer planet transits (Pluto, Neptune, Uranus) to your natal Sun, Moon, Ascendant, or chart angles tend to be the most life-altering. Saturn and Jupiter transits are also highly significant — Saturn brings structure and challenge; Jupiter brings opportunity and growth.
What is a transit chart?
A transit chart overlays the current positions of the planets onto your birth chart. It shows which moving planets are forming aspects — conjunction, opposition, trine, square or sextile — to your natal planets right now, revealing the themes active in your life at this moment.
What are my current planetary transits?
Your current planetary transits are the aspects that today's moving planets make to your natal chart. This transit calculator lists them in real time — for example a Saturn square to your natal Sun or a Jupiter trine to your Moon — along with an intensity score and a plain-language summary of what each one means.
How do I read a transit calculator?
Each transit shows the moving planet, the aspect it forms, the natal planet it activates, and how exact (tight) the aspect is. A smaller orb means a stronger, more precise transit. Higher intensity scores indicate the transits most worth your attention; start with those at the top of the list.
Do transits use my birth chart?
Yes for a personalised reading. Transits are measured against your natal planets, so adding your birth date, exact time and place gives chart-level transits to your Sun, Moon, Ascendant and the rest. Without birth details you still get a useful Sun-sign level transit overview.
