Two Simple Timing Methods Anyone Can Practice in Astrology
January 20, 2024
One of the best ways to understand cycles in astrology, is to observe how transits to your natal chart affect you and areas of your life. There are untold layered timing techniques in Hellenistic astrology. And like the internal components of a watch, there’s an intricate array of mechanisms active simultaneously, each carrying out their own function and purpose. Learning and practicing some of these techniques takes dedicated — and sometimes intensive — study, and there are others you can learn simply through observation.
I’ll mention two simple methods you can try just by watching the transits. First, pay attention to the planets that pass through your first house, especially when near your Ascendant degree (things may intensify). Because the first house is related to your body, appearance, identity, and vitality, for example, planets transiting through the first will likely make a noticeable impact on your constitution and mindset. Primarily, consider the natural significations of the planets, but you could go as far as delineating their condition too.
Here’s a very, very abbreviated list of natural significations …
Sun: vitality, illumination, honor, choice
Moon: reception, nurture, relaxation, change
Mercury: thinking, communication…
