How to read a transit
A transit is a planet's position today, read against the zodiac or against your birth chart. Sky-wide, a planet entering a sign sets the tone for that sign's subjects. A planet turning retrograde or direct stands almost still for a few days, and astrologers read its themes as loudest then. New Moons are read as starts and full Moons as peaks.
Personally, a transit means most when it touches something in your own chart. Venus entering a sign is an event for everyone, but it reads differently if that sign holds your Sun or sits in your 7th house, the house of partnership. For a quick version, count from your Sun sign: the sign itself is your 1st house, the next your 2nd, and so on round the wheel.
Fast planets and slow planets
The Moon changes sign about every two and a half days and the Sun about every month, so those are the day's and the month's weather. Mercury, Venus and Mars take weeks in a sign and set the tone for how you talk, what you want and where you push.
Jupiter spends about a year in a sign and Saturn about two and a half. Uranus, Neptune and Pluto stay for years, so their sign changes are rare and read as turning points for a generation. That's why the slow planets rarely appear in a list this short, and matter when they do.
How these dates are worked out
We take each planet's position from astronomy-engine, the open-source astronomy library behind our birth charts, day by day, and narrow each sign change down to the minute. Turns are the moments a planet's motion changes direction, and the new and full Moons and eclipses come from the same library. The list is worked out from today's date in UTC, so it always starts from now. How we calculate the sky shows the checks, with tables you can repeat them against.
