TRANSITS - Morin
Sep. 1st, 2024 11:01 am1) Transit by repetition
This includes
- planet returns or a ptolemaic aspect to itself.
- a transit to a natal planet in aspect to the this planet.
This is what, as astrologers, we are most familiar with.
She adds:
If the transit is harmonious (sextile, trine) and natally it is harmonious (sextile, trine), the positive experience will be felt in the houses being touched.
If the transit is harmonious (sextile, trine) and natally it is dissonant (square, opposition), this will reduce the risks of the natal position.
If the transit is dissonant and natally it is harmonious, contrary to what one might believe, this will be difficult to handle because the person will be confronted to situations he is not familiar with but in the end the person will fall back on his feet.
If the transit is dissonant and natally dissonant, this will be felt strongly but the person will know how to navigate as the situation will be familiar. Another brick in the wall.
Note: When we have had Moon squaring Uranus a hundred times in our life, we should become wiser than if we have Uranus squaring Uranus as this is the first time in our life and hopefully when we get the 2nd hit in our 40's (opposition), we will remember what it was like earlier. You hear that when people say that they feel like returning to their rebellious youth. The reference point is easier to grasp with faster planets than with slower planets.
2) Transit by transmission
When you have a natal aspect between 2 planets and by transit the same 2 planets form a similar aspect and aspecting the 2 planets, this is a transit by transmission and this is stronger.
Say you have natally Jupiter trine Mercury and by transit Jupiter is sextile both planets while transiting Mercury makes a conjunction to Jupiter.
Same rules than a transit by repetition would apply.
Note: One thing we see all the times in astrological forecastings is overlooking the ruler of the transiting planets.
Say you have a QM with the MO in Sagittarius and the SU in Virgo. It is essential to look at transiting JU and ME and see if they connect with a natal placement.
Here are some rules as defined by Morin de Villefranche in Book XXI (James Holden tr)
20. When a planet is outside of its own sign, it provokes on thing because of its position in the house it occupies, and another because of its rulership in another house.
23. Each zodiacal sign always operates according to the nature and zodiacal state of its ruler.
28. The physical position is the most powerful of the determining factors; then comes the disposition (rulership) and aspects.
30. The position or rulership of a planet in a house does indicate that a category of things or accidents may or may not befall a person.
32. It is to be noted, however, that the Ascendant has a stronger significance for the life and constitution of the native than does its ruler, if the latter is absent from the First House. The aspects received by the Ascendant are in this case more powerful than those received by the ruler.
56. The most powerful action on the house significations will come from whichever one of the planets is also the house ruler; then, from that one which is in exaltation; and in the third place, from the one possessing the closest natural analogy with the house meanings.
60. When many planets are found together in the same house and their dispositor is located in another, the affairs signified by this latter will form the point of departure for whatever fortune or misfortune is produced by the group of planets.
Note: This is probably the most important one to remember.
62. When the ruler of one house is physically placed in another, the significations of the two houses can combine, but they do not necessarily or always do this. The planet in question acts sometimes by reason of its position, other times by reason of one of its rulerships, and still other times by reason of the other rulership: sometimes it combines the effects deriving from its position with those of one or other rulership, or at times with those of both determinations deriving from rulership.
This is when we can draw the wheat from the chaff.
Say for example a NM in Aries - you look at the ruler MA and you find out that it is conjunct your natal AS squaring transiting or natal UR. Would you be more cautious regarding accidents?
3) Transit by resonance
Say you have a MA/JU conjunction in the natal.
Every time you have a MA/JU conjunction by transit, it will resonate in your chart whether it is making an aspect or not to your natal. The best example is the recent Harris’s campaign which has raised $540 million since it was launched recently with a total that amounts to a record for any campaign in history.
From Wikipedia, the Dem Party foundation chart says Jan 8, 1828 in Baltimore with a natal conjunction MA/JU in Scorpio and transiting MA/JU conjunction in Gemini was in their natal 2nd House.
Now, this is what you won't find in astrology softwares. Transits by resonance.
When we have the same angular distance by transit than we have at birth, it is a transit by resonance. Say you have MO 160 degrees from MA natally, whenever the same angular distance is happening in the sky, it will resonate in your chart.
If we were to look at an aspectarian listing the Ptolemaic aspects by transit, we would need an extra line to remind us that Hey! the same angular distance you have at birth is repeating itself.
I have seen this over and over in natal charts. Maybe we should ask people with a natal Saturn/Pluto conjunction in 1947 and 1982 how the 2020 conjunction affected them.
