TRANSITS IN SYMBOLISM
Mars in Virgo, 17/6/2025 – 6/8/2025
On June 17, Mars will leave the sign of Leo and enter the sign of Virgo. For most of its time in Virgo, Mars will be peregrine, except in the final degrees where it will have some minor essential dignity, being in its own Term. Therefore, for most of its time in Virgo, Mars will…

Saturn in Aries, 24/5/2025 – 13/4/2028
For about two years, Saturn, the planet of boundaries and limitations, has been traveling through Pisces, where it will remain until May 24, 2025, before moving into a challenging position for it—the sign of Aries, its fall. Saturn will stay in Aries until early September when, due to its retrograde motion, it will re-enter Pisces.…
The truth is that traditional astrology places little to no emphasis on the influence of planetary transits on our sub-lunar world. In contrast, modern astrologers often rely heavily on transits for their predictive techniques. Historically, William Lilly’s Christian Astrology—a text of over 800 pages—dedicates barely two pages to transits, focusing instead on techniques like secondary progressions and returns.
This perspective makes sense if we consider that if transits truly dictated events, every time the Sun crossed the cusp of the 8th house, we would meet our demise, or humanity would face collective heartbreak every time Venus turned retrograde. However, an unbiased observation of transits shows that these correlations simply do not hold. When similar events occur repeatedly in our lives, the corresponding transits differ, showing no consistent connection with our natal chart. Instead, we tend to project blame onto the planets, using the sky as a scapegoat for our negative experiences. These events feel more significant than positive ones, yet we rarely take note of the astrological conditions during favorable times.
Personally, the only value I find in transits lies in the symbolism that emerges as planets move from one sign to another. This symbolism can be particularly useful in certain applications of Electional Astrology to favor certain activities.
