When transits (whatever the planets) deal with the subjects that are in what is called the “personal and preparatory stage or settlement” – houses 1, 2 and 3 – they move slowly. From the Ascendant (ASC) to the Imum Coeli (IC). It is not a position for rapid change. Whatever you try to do, it must be thought of and felt as having a long-term goal. If the transits involve Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto, try to see them as authentic projects of life, to be slowly elaborated.

In this space of the map, the transits energies are reorganizing to develop in the next three houses – at 4, 5 and 6. From the Imum Coeli (IC) to the descendant (DC). This sector of the map is called the “development stage”. This area is the one that involves our roots, foundations, creativity, ​and work.

Transits continue to express themselves and expand in the following houses – to 7, 8, and 9. From the Descendant (DC) to the Midheaven (MC). It is when we confirm partnerships, business, marriage, internal maturity and expansion of horizons. External activities are the most important in this sector.

We have the last sector of the map – houses 10, 11 and 12 – called the “consolidation stage”. From the Midheaven (MC), again to the Ascendant (ASC). It’s time of the consolidation of our internal plans and of learning, handling, and operating everything that refers to the “I”. It is in this area that is located above all what concerns the occurrences of our inner self​f.

Neptune and Pluto do not go through all these sectors (or houses) in a normal life span. Pluto needs about 250 years to travel this distance; Neptune – 160 years; Uranus – 80 years; Chiron – 50 years; Saturn – 29 years; Jupiter – 12 years old; Mars – 2 years; Venus – 1 and a half years; Mercury – about 1 year; Sun – 1 year; Moon – 28 days; Here we notice the mood variations that the Moon can cause us in everyday life. It takes about two and a half days on each sign. The Sun, going through these four steps over the course of a year, gives us tremendous opportunities to express ourselves in many ways.

If Saturn moves through the “personal and preparatory stage or settlement” – houses 1, 2 and 3 – announces a period of evaluation, of greater recollection, a retreat from more mundane activities. Obviously, planets in transit do not just pass through houses. They also travel across signs. And, of course, they meet our natal planets.

WHAT DO WE DO TO EVOLVE, AS THE CONSCIOUSNESS THAT WE ARE?
