Description
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. Astrologers call the moving planets "transits," and by comparing their movements to your birth chart you can gain a complete view of how best to prepare for challenges, meet opportunities, and stay grounded in a constantly-changing world.
In Astrological Transits, astrologer April Elliott Kent will guide you through the best ways to make the most of your birth chart. Learn how to make the most of good transits and harness and transform the energy of "bad" ones. You'll also understand planetary cycles and anticipate your own transits. Finally, you'll know 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 will make tracking your transit cycles simple and exciting!

"April Elliott Kent is one of only a few authors who make the ancient art of astrology fun and easy to understand. Her most recent book, Astrological Transits, will tremendously help the new astrologer make sense of the often-complicated study of planetary cycles. Ms. Kent's writing is concise with a heavy dose of humor, which makes it an easy read. Well done!" - Susie Cox, astrologer and author
"The best astrology cookbooks are those that get our own imaginations cooking. Astrological Transits does this so well, it ought to be on every student's shelf. Kent makes the intricacies of reading transits accessible and fun. Laced with the reassuring common sense of her years of actual practice, it's also thorough enough to teach you everything you need to know about interpreting past, current, and future skies. Yet the real delight is the author's witty and insightful take on the factors. Even after twenty years of being an astrologer, I know there will be many future moments when I'll look at a chart, my mind will go blank, and I'll genuinely wonder, "What does Saturn transiting the 4th house mean?" That's when I'll jump for my copy of Astrological Transits." - Dana Gerhardt, astrologer

Lots of charts, graphs, worksheets, and other visuals high-concept the key points to help you "get it" quickly.
