Transits Pro

Transits are where the planets are on a chosen date and the aspects they make to your birth chart. It's the most common way to forecast.

If you want a ready forecast in plain words with no wheel, open Personal forecast, which works in Beginner mode too. This page covers transits on the wheel in Pro mode.

Build transits

  1. Build the birth chart.
  2. Open “More”.
  3. Leave “Forecast” set to “Transits”.
  4. Pick a date and time in “Forecast for (local)”, or click “Forecast for now”.
  5. Click “Build chart”.

The transiting planets form an outer ring around the natal chart, and the timeline appears under the wheel so you can scroll the date.

If “Current place of residence” is filled in, the transit ring is cast for that place. That matters for the houses of the transit chart; planet positions are the same anywhere.

Tables below the sections

TransitsPositions of the transiting planets on the date
Transits: aspects to natalAspects from transiting to natal planets, orb up to 1°
Exact transits for 12 monthsDates when each transit becomes exact, for a year from the forecast date

“Exact transits” covers the Sun through Pluto, the node and Chiron to natal planets, ASC and MC, major aspects only. The Moon is left out because it laps the chart every month and would flood the list. Above the table is a chart: one row per planet pair, a bar showing when the transit is in orb, and a tick at the exact moment.

Tap a table row to open the wheel on that transit's date.

Add to calendar

“Add to calendar (.ics)” next to the heading downloads a file of the exact transits. Open it in Google Calendar, Apple Calendar or Outlook and every transit becomes an event.

The “Now” bar

In Pro mode a strip above the wheel lists the transits in effect right now: aspects from the sky to your natal planets within 1°. Applying aspects are outlined. The strip refreshes every minute, and tapping it builds “Forecast for now”.
