Transits meaning, how to read transits, and the transit of the day—learn how planetary timing shapes your life and where to start.

Transits are the moving planets making angles to your natal placements. This hub catalogues their influence, timing, and practical meaning. Transits gain meaning through relationship, not isolation.

Meaning

Each transit marks a planetary shift that gently reshapes the cosmic weather; observing it keeps you aligned with the sky rather than trying to force an outcome.

We pair these notes with timing guidance so you can choose when to act and when to wait, depending on how your birth chart interacts with the current planetary dance.

Saturn cycle and timing

First Square (1st Quarter)

2033–2035 (approx)

Ages: 37–39 · Birth years: 1984–1987

The first square calls for a new level of maturity; it is about confronting the friction between ambition and responsibility and supports recalibrating the structures you built in your twenties.

Opposition (Halfway Point)

2040–2041 (approx)

Ages: 44–45 · Birth years: 1975–1977

Opposition times spotlight relationships and the way you share power. This is a mirror for what you have built and what you are ready to surrender so the next decade can bloom.

Second Square (3rd Quarter)

2048–2050 (approx)

Ages: 52–54 · Birth years: 1967–1969

The second square asks you to integrate earlier lessons, step back from overworking, and make room for wiser, more patient leadership as Saturn prepares for its second return.

Saturn Return (Conjunction)

2025–2030

Ages: 28–34 · Birth years: 1995–2002

A full orbit brings Saturn back to its natal place. These years demand accountability, supporting choices that can anchor the next 29 years.
