I thought there wasn’t anything significant during my Saturn return (c. 29.5 years old). In fact, I thought about it for 2 or 3 years over the past few years. That was until recently when I looked at the ephemeris, instead of the nice looking reports from Solar Fire. (more…)

A client asked about opportunities in love. I examined Jupiter transits to the 7th ruler as there are no planets in his 7th. He did meet someone a few days before or after the perfection of the transit. I took a closer look. It wasn’t just the quincunx transit to the 7th ruler. Transiting Jupiter also squared the 5th ruler and sextiled the north node a few days i.e. one to three days to one another. (more…)

To be 100% honest, I don’t have a 100% understanding of Dane Rudhyar’s lunation cycle such that I can transport the principles to other transit cycles. What a delightful breath of enlightening air to read about the Dynamic Cycle Approach in Robert Hand’s Planets in Transits! (more…)

I accidentally generated a solar return chart based on Lucan, a town in Dublin. Uranus will transit over SR Descendant on 1 May 2018. I spotted that and regenerated the SR chart correctly…

I think it’s safe to say that the house system used affects the timing of events – be it internal or external that relate to the succedent and cadent houses i.e. 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 9th, 11th and 12th. (more…)

A timing technique in solar returns (SR) is to check for conjunctions of transiting outer planet against SR angles. Usually, that is done during the period of the SR. I have found that you can check for the conjunctions up to 2.5 months before the period of the SR. I don’t think there’s a fixed rule on how far back to look. But 2.5 months certainly worked for me and my clients. (more…)

You know when an outer planet transits a natal planet/point, there could be 3 hits or more due to potential retrogrades. Now to now, I have thinking of the middle "hits" as a…
