What Do Planetary Transits Mean in Astrology?
Planetary transits are considered crucial events in astrology. In astrology, there are nine planets, and the positions and motions of these planets are used to forecast a person's future. One of these nine planets governs each of the twelve zodiac signs.
1. The Sun
Rules sign – Leo
Transit duration – 1 month
2. The Moon
Rules sign – Cancer
Transit duration – 2 to 2.5 days
3. Mars
Rules sign – Aries and Scorpio
Transit duration – 2 months
4. Mercury
Rules sign – Gemini and Virgo
Transit duration – 3 weeks
5. Venus
Rules sign – Taurus and Libra
Transit duration – 5 weeks
6. Jupiter
Rules Sign – Sagittarius and Pisces
Transit duration – 1 year
7. Saturn
Rules sign – Capricorn and Aquarius
Transit duration – 2.5 to 3 years
In addition, Rahu and Ketu, the Moon's North and South Nodes, are considered shadow planets and do not govern any zodiac signs. They take about 1.5 years or 18 months to complete a transit. Moreover, Rahu and Ketu always move in a backward motion (retrograde).
The position of a person's ruling planet and zodiac sign influences their personality. The positive and negative influences in a person's birth chart shift as the planetary positions alter. As a result, the movement of the planets, also known as planet transits or changes in zodiac signs, has a substantial impact on all signs.
