You knew how hard it was for me to open up to you.. but you promised me that I can trust you. And in the end you broke my heart.

“If love is suspicious, esteem is trustful; and love will never exist in an honest heart without esteem, for every one loves in another the qualities which he himself holds in honour.”

How to read astrology transits

1.Understand the basics of astrology

Before you can start reading transits, it's important to have a basic understanding of astrology. This includes understanding the meanings of the planets, signs, houses, and aspects. You should also have a general understanding of how astrology works and how it can be used to interpret events and experiences.

2.Determine the current planetary transits

The first step in reading transits is to determine which planets are currently in transit (i.e., moving through the zodiac) and which houses they are moving through in your natal chart. You can find this information using an online ephemeris or by consulting with an astrologer.

3.Identify the aspects

Once you know which planets are in transit, you need to look at the aspects they are making to your natal planets and points. Aspects are the geometric relationships between planets and they can be either harmonious (e.g., trine, sextile) or challenging (e.g., square, opposition).

4.Interpret the transits

Based on these aspects, you can begin to interpret the transits. Harmonious aspects tend to indicate easy or positive energy, while challenging aspects suggest that you may encounter obstacles or difficulties. Look at the houses and signs involved to get a more detailed understanding of how the transit might manifest in your life.

5.Consider the timing

Timing is an important factor when reading transits. Planets move at different speeds and can be in transit for varying amounts of time. Some transits may be brief and have a minor impact, while others can last for months and have a more significant effect.

6.Look for patterns

As you continue to read transits over time, you may start to notice patterns and themes that emerge. For example, you may find that certain planets tend to bring up similar issues or that certain houses are more active during certain times of the year. Paying attention to these patterns can help you gain a deeper understanding of your chart and how the transits are affecting you.
