In Episode 365, astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim provide an introduction to transits in astrology, one of the main timing methods astrologers use to make predictions.
Transits are related to where the planets are currently in the sky, which are related to where they are in the birth chart, and can be used to explore how people feel about different stages of their lives.
Transits are one of the most popular methods in astrology for predicting the future, although they can also be used to study past and present events.
During the episode, we elaborate on the concept of transits, talk about how they work in practice, and then reflect on some of the philosophical implications of the technique.
