What are Transits & How You To Calculate Transit Chart?

What are Transits & Calculate Transit Chart-The never-ending motion of planets generates effects depending on where they are transiting in your Horoscope.

Transit Period Of Planets

Due to factors like distance from planet Sun and their rotation speed all planets have a different duration in which they complete their journey in one sign and move to another sign.
For your reference, I have listed the transit stay of each planet in one sign.

1. Sun: planet Sun stays in one zodiac for exactly one month and moves to another significant other on the 15th day of every month.
   Transit of planet Sun is very important in both Astrology and Religion, for example, major festivals like Makar Sakranti start when the planet Saturn moves to Capricorn sign on the 15th of January.
   In fact, all planets are affected by the planetary motion of the Sun especially their retrograde motion.
   I will talk about retrograde planets in a separate article soon.
2. Moon: Moon goes through all twelve signs in about 28 days which means it takes approximately 2 1/2 days in each sign.
3. Mercury: Mercury transits is complicating because it goes into retrograde motion quite often. Mercury takes around 1 year to travel through all 12 Zodiac signs. But its stay in a particular sign ranges from 14 to 30 days.
4. Venus: Just like Mercury, Venus transits duration in a particular sign is not fixed approximately; Venus stays for 23 days to a little over 2 months in a sign.
5. Mars: Mars takes about 2 years to travel through all the Zodiac signs ; and stays in a particular sign for about 1.5 months. But sometimes Mars transit can become unusual like the current; Mars transit in Capricorn where Mars will stay there for 6 months!.
6. Jupiter: The nicest & wisest Jupiter takes about 12 years to travel through all 12 Zodiac signs which means Jupiter stays in a single sign for 12 months (1 year).
7. Saturn: The mighty Saturn is a very slow-moving planet and it takes around 29.5 years to travel; through all 12 Zodiac signs which means Saturn transit in a single sign for 2.5 years.
8. Rahu and Ketu: These two troublemakers always move in a retrograde motion and takes around 1.5 years to travel through each Zodiac sign.
   These periods should  known to you because it does help you understand the complete picture ;and is the foundation of astrology.
   You will be mesmerizing when you will see how the constant planetary rays affect us; and how their relative position from each other creates events in our life.
