What is a planetary transit?
A planetary transit occurs when a planet in the sky moves through a specific house in your birth chart. Each transit activates the themes of that house — bringing expansion (Jupiter), restructuring (Saturn), or deep transformation (Pluto) to the corresponding life areas. The duration and intensity depend on the planet's speed and nature.
