2 or more transits needed in order for an event to happen?

[Lost_spirit]

Let's say that transiting Jupiter is in opposition to someone's Venus.That by itself does not create an event or a change in someone's life.But if while Jupiter is opposing moon,Mars comes to the picture by squaring this Venus as well,that's when something happens.

Another thought I had,If on a specific day or time period Transiting Saturn is in opposition to Transiting Uranus at 20* Virgo-Pisces,this may create some events in the world and in order for them to affect someone,he must have a planet in these degrees in aspect to these 2 planets(Saturn-Uranus).Is that right?

[astrologer50]

there are lots of different techniques for 'predictive' work, progressions, solar arcs, solar returns, transits. Transits alone may not always 'make things happen' Usually, if it's something major it will be seen and reflected in two maybe three techniques described above.

Then you could move onto midpoint, espec important is sun/moon and Asc/MC but of course you have to know your time of birth is correct.

This is why astrology is such a lifetime learning thing and ontop of all this, there are all sorts of different branches, like horary charts which uses a different sets of rules to natal and mostly Traditional astrologers do this, but also natal as well. Then you might like to try a different 'house system' like Equal House or Koch

Then you could progress to the asteriods, Juno, Vertex, N Node and Ceres to fill any more information.

So, to answer your question 2 or more transits, I would say two or more techniques, either secondary progressions, solar arcs, solar returns and midpoints.

I'm about to experience a hard transit in about a month and I wonder what it may bring.My progressed Mars is already very close to conjunct my natal Mercury at 19*Virgo.Tr.Saturn is moving to this point as well and in August
Tr.Mars is going to square it.
Now the last time this 2 planets afflicted my Mercury I had a serious head accident,but Transiting planets were friendlier to me at that time.Now I have all these heavy planets in my 6th,Uranus in the 8th and Saturn in the 1st,and I'm getting a little worried.Mercury is my 1st house ruler.

Yes, yes, I am feeling ya . I have moon at 22 virgo and sun at 22 gemini. Quaking in my booties
There is also a rule of thumb that it has to be in the natal potential so Saturn does not aspect my moon in my natal chart. Uranus on the other hand does indeed play a strange part with the moon. thus in your case, the mercury has a weak relationship with Pluto and saturn in the natal ...more a 'talent' aspect.
I would see the quincux that neptune made to your mercury some time ago as a manifestaton of natal potential. Was the timing close to you head injury.
Solar arcs and progressions have to be very close to mean anything. And I suspect they are more of an inward development. But they contribute to the opening of events. Now this progressed mars to conjunct mercury. It has to be spot on but I do not like it. It may imply you speak to rashly and have a tendency to argue and with uranus transiting may result in unexpected events ie fights. You should watch your speech carefully during this time. And your driving may be more erratic as mercury rules cars...expect the unexpects. The fact that mars and uransu form a relationship natally augments this idea that you should be more careful during this period to not attract violence.

Thanks for the reply!
What I understand is,Saturn and Mars afflict each other every year,but for this to be in the same degrees as your personal planets it may take many years to happen.That head accident happened many many years ago,I was still a child.
Now don't get me wrong,but I noticed that when Mars and Saturn afflict each other,there is a lot of violence,accidents,shooting etc in the world.If you add Uranus to the picture,it could mean unexpected happenings.
Let's hope it's more of a challenge aspect,than any of the above!

I don't see it like this, mars/pluto yes that person can give it out and attract it back. mars/uranus is bad temper, quick off the mark and unexpected events.

Also T mars takes 2 1/2years to make a mars return, like saturn cos it retrograde quite a bit.

How did that accident affect your communication skills, LS?

I ask because natal Mercury (communications) is square North Node in Gemini (communications) and sextile the Part of Fortune in 3rd house (communications)..........Virgo (thinking) is duplicated on 1st and 2nd house cusps, with Asc/Chart ruler Mercury (thinking) "trapped" between them.........and Gemini/Saggittarius are intercepted in 10th/4th houses, "trapping" North Node/Chiron and Jupiter/Uranus/Neptune.....(So, overcoming Mercury "issues" may be the key to "progressing spiritually", through accessing Uranus [higher octave of Mercury] and Chiron [possible modern Ruler of Virgo].

______________________________

In relation to the Uranus/Jupiter/Chiron/Neptune transits though......their direct impact is upon the natal Minor Grand Trine of Pluto/Neptune/Venus/Mars (with progressed Mercury conjunct natal Pluto linking it to the progressions of natal Mercury, because of what can be learned from it).

Very interesting!I never thought of the triple conjunction like this!

I always had communications issues,not any mental problems,but I'm extremely shy I guess.My Mercury may seem strong in the 1st house and in Virgo exalted,but look at it.It only forms 2 sextiles with the moon and Part of fortune and 2 squares with the North and South Node.It's also close to being under the Sun's beams.I consider it the most important planet in my chart,but very stressful as well.Think about how hard things are with Saturn Transiting it now!

Shyness and feelings of social inadequacy are common features of Chiron in Gemini.........but, I was wondering if the head injury had specifically contributed to this.......perhaps by keeping you away from school for a while.

Mercury is strong.......As the ruler of the chart, it's the planet whose characteristics you most identify with......"You are your Mercury", so to speak.........and I'd regard it as unaspected, thus behaving in a way that you might find stressful.

Think about how hard things are with Saturn Transiting it now!

I'd focus upon why the Saturn transit is hard rather than how........What is the astrological lesson (about natal Mercury) that Saturn is attempting to teach?............But, that's really another thread as I'm way off-topic with both this and my earlier post......(Sorry).

EJ

[astrologer50]

I don't consider your mercury to be unaspected cos it has a square to Neptune and sextile to moon. progressed mars conj mercury is about action (mars) and speech but the same time will be setting off you neptune square shortly after which will sap your energy levels quite a lot.

T Saturn conj Mercury I feel will help ground your thoughts, very good for studying, but it's testing/asking you to 'think before you speak' to consider your thoughts and speech patterns and make them count and be direct and too the point, rather than the square. There's many a slip between cup and lip aspect.

Now progressed sun is fast approaching natal saturn which will be felt as restrictions from father, authority figure people ie: older generations but again this is all to structure your thoughts and make coherent sense of them. Then progressed mercury is conj pluto making you want to analayse matters, research things, poss like astrology.

I think now would be a great time for studying a degree and doing some research. Saturn as well as conj pluto has nice sextile to mars in 12th conj Asc

Progressed moon has just changed signs into cancer for next 2.5 year stay http://www.cafeastrology.com/progressedmoonsigns.html

Hope this helps

Thanks astrologer50!It's interesting that when my progressed moon moved to my MC was the time I got my first job.And now it just entered my 11th house.My dreams and friends are my focus now.
I really want to avoid my progressed Mars activating my Mercury Neptune square.I'm afraid that my mental health may be in danger.But I still have some time for this to happen.
Currently I'm being forced to learn some very important "spiritual" lessons about love,with the triple conjunction and Venus-Mars poking my natal Venus.
With the coming aspects of Mars,Saturn,Uranus and my progressed planets to natal Mercury,I'm expecting the unexpected.I can't wait to see what happens!
