Astrological Transits

Understand the daily astrological influences in your life! In Astrological Transits, astrologer April Elliott Kent shows you how to compare the movement of planets (transits) to your birth chart to gain a complete view of how best to prepare for challenges, meet opportunities, and stay grounded in a constantly changing world. Your birth chart is a snapshot of the sky taken at the moment and place of your birth, one that reflects your character, personality, strengths, and challenges. But the moment after that picture was taken, the planets moved on-some quickly, some very slowly. In Astrological Transits, astrologer April Elliott Kent teaches you:

• How today’s astrological weather affects your birth chart and what is going on in your life
• Ways to make the most of good transits and harness and transform the energy of challenging ones
• The roles recurring planetary cycles play in your life and how to anticipate important transits
• How to read planetary return charts, work with planetary retrogrades, and use eclipses to recognize major patterns and turning points in your life

If you are comfortable reading a birth chart, you are ready to move your chart into the future using transits. Instructions, tables, and worksheets make tracking your transit cycles simple and exciting!
