Frequently asked questions
What is a transit in astrology?
A transit is the passage of a planet, today, through a precise point of the zodiac. Compared with your natal chart, it shows which parts of your life are being activated right now: a Jupiter transit over your Sun, for instance, opens a period of expansion.
Why are the positions computed for Paris?
The positions of the planets in the signs are the same everywhere on Earth at the same instant. Only the houses (and the Ascendant of the moment) depend on the location: we display them for Paris as a reference.
What does a retrograde planet mean?
Seen from Earth, the planet appears to move backwards through the zodiac for a few weeks or months. In astrology it is a time for review, revision and turning inward in the area concerned (communication for Mercury, love and values for Venus…).
