I am interested to know whether any of you notice /feel effects of outer planet transits prior their reaching exact degree.
This is to settle an argument with someone who insists that one doesn't until degree reaches exact. This despite my telling them that I certainly do, ........................
Which is impossible to do. Astrologers have shared differences of opinion since Uranus was discovered through the telescope.
I go along with Claire's view on this.
Every astrologer has their own style and perspective through which they interpret any meaning behind an aspect. What the one sees as 'wide orbs influence', another will see through an approaching/separating aspect elsewhere that may involve the traditional 7 planets.
E.g. is it really transit Uranus at work or does a Mars-Mercury (with Saturn influence) transit/progression precede or follow it that could just as easily explain the same circumstances....with or without Chiron's (orbit between Saturn and Uranus) influence ?
Similarly what does the progressed Moon with a personal planet influence trigger that 'could' be interpretted as a transit from Neptune?
And could Saturn-Mars compare to an issue considered Plutonic of nature?
The outer planets are 'conscious raising' of nature, whether one perceives them as 'outing' a personal as well as global influence, or not. One could ask how it is possible for an individual to become consciously aware of a situation that is undergoing change, without first having experienced the other side of the same coin?
