Animating the Astrologers Chart in Solar Fire or Astro Gold or Web Sights

In episode 365 astrologers Chris Brennan and Leisa Schaim provide an introduction to transits in astrology, which is one of the primary timing techniques that astrologers use to make predictions. Transits relate where the planets are at in the sky now to where they are located in the birth chart, and can be used in order to study how individuals experience the quality of different phases in their life. Transits are one of the most popular techniques in astrology for predicting the future, although they can also be used to study events in the past and present. During the course of the episode we give a detailed overview of the concept of transits, talk about how they work in practice, and then later reflect on some of the philosophical ramifications of the technique.
