Transit to Transit - Electional Astrology


The following short interpretations of aspects between the planets refer to aspects made in the sky at any given time and their possible effects on the population in general. They are best used for electional astrology purposes.

Important Note: The following interpretations are not applicable to natal aspects. In other words, if you have Sun trine Moon in your natal chart, the interpretation offered here does not apply.

SunconjunctMoon Sun conjunct Moon. The New Moon is a time of new beginnings. It may not be obvious on the day of the transit. However, our needs are aligned with our wants at this time, and it's an opportune time to make a few resolutions.

SunSextileMoon Sun sextile Moon. Increased clarity derived from a feeling that what we want and what we need are in harmony. We are more able to cooperate with others.

Sun square Moon. We become aware of a conflict between what we want and what we need. This can cause us to be provocative with others, or it can spur us into finding answers to problems.

SuntrineMoon Sun trine Moon. It's easy to put our best face forward and to cooperate with others because we are not conflicted on the inside. What we do and what we feel are in harmony, and we benefit from this clarity.

Sun parallel Moon. Our wants and needs are aligned. We benefit from this increased focus, if not now, somewhere down the road.

Mercury Sun conjunct Mercury. We are especially sharp, communicative, and open at this time, as our wants are aligned with our thoughts. It's a favorable time for solving problems. What we say or write now has impact, for better or for worse!

SunconjunctMars Sun conjunct Mars. This is a vital, dynamic time when we thrive on progress and activity. Our more passionate, aggressive, and courageous natures come to the fore. We are able to creatively solve problems and to instinctively take action when necessary under this influence. Self-assertion is what this transit is about. We are direct and frank, and perhaps short-tempered and impulsive. 

Sunsemi-squareMars Sun semi-square Mars. Circumstances spur us into action. Aggressiveness and conflicts are possible now. As long as we channel the excess energy constructively, instead of wasting our time arguing, we can accomplish much. We may have "spring fever" now, no matter what the season!

SunQuincunxMars Sun quincunx Mars. A tendency to fly off the handle easily characterizes this transit, due to inner tension between the will and performance. It's hard to find satisfaction or a sense of peace at this time. We may feel decidedly "out of sorts".

SunMars Sun opposition Mars. Careless or impulsive behavior can be a problem under this transit. It's easy to feel thwarted or to not be in touch with what it is we want at this time. If we do know what we want, how to go about getting it doesn't come naturally to us right now.

SunJupiter Sun conjunct Jupiter. Vitality increases as we build our confidence. We feel more generous, optimistic, and sociable under this influence. We might hunger for increased recognition and respect, and, with our generous attitude and concern for others' well-being, we might just get what we want. This is a good time to take steps to grow something--our business, our significant relationships, and so forth. This transit also favors legal, educational, religious, and cultural endeavors.

Sunquincunx Sun inconjunct (quincunx) Jupiter. The desire to experience something new or for more freedom to explore can amount to restlessness if we don't know what it is we want. This is a time of adjustments, and perhaps of letting go of old habits, so that we can free ourselves up for different experiences.

Sunopposition Sun opposition Jupiter. Conflicting urges with regards to what we think we should do and what we want to do can be frustrating now. There can be a tendency to go overboard and to indulge in extravagances. Watch for overestimating your capabilities now.

  Sun conjunct Saturn. This is a time when we are called upon to "get real". We feel the constraints of time and are motivated by the desire to manifest tangible results. It's "nose to the grindstone" time. We may feel overworked; alternatively, we welcome some discipline into our lives. Avoid launching new projects, particularly financial ones. Instead, work on a new plan for creating order in your life, or on an old project that requires a new commitment. Emotional energy is not enough to fuel us for the time being; thus we could feel sapped on a physical level. However, making new commitments to old goals, shouldering responsibilities, and making careful use of our resources could feed our need for structure and order in our lives.

SunsextileSaturn Sun sextile Saturn. We feel grounded and stable. It's easy to stick to a specific task and make headway. Productivity may be slow, but it's steady.

Sun semi-square Saturn. It's hard to satisfy the ego today. We feel blocked by circumstances or others. It's too easy to feel discouraged, but discouragement is a time waster. Gratitude isn't forthcoming right now, so it's best to wait it out rather than waste energy letting it get to you.

SunsquareSaturn Sun square Saturn. As we face obstacles to our goals, we begin to see the tools with which we have to overcome them.

This influence is a somber one.

Sunsemi-squareNeptune Sun semi-square Neptune. Our willpower is low as we stray from our goals and temporarily lose focus.
