Mars‑Saturn Recurrence Triggered Career Pivot

In episode 520 astrologer Nick Dagan Best joins me for a live workshop where we interviewed five listeners who shared stories about how recurrence transits coincided with important moments in their lives.
This is a follow-up to our original episode on recurrence transits from November 2025, where we first introduced the concept of tracking when planetary aspects in the sky repeat specific aspect configurations from your birth chart. While our initial discussion focused largely on celebrity charts to illustrate the theory, for this episode we wanted to demonstrate how this technique manifests in practice by interviewing several patrons who generously shared their personal stories.
During the show, we speak with five listeners who walk us through their chronologies to show how these transits coincided with major life events. We examine a wide variety of planetary combinations, including Mars-Saturn, Mars-Uranus, and Venus-Jupiter alignments. The examples illustrate how the repetition of a natal aspect can trigger pivotal turning points involving career changes, relationships, accidents, and even multi-generational family patterns.
What becomes clear through these interviews is how the recurrence of a natal aspect often coincides with events that are thematically consistent with the original promise of the birth chart, sometimes playing out as literal repetitions of the past or as significant evolutions of a personal narrative.
We also discuss some of the technical nuances of working with recurrence transits, such as the importance of phase relationships, and how to track these cycles using the search tools available on Astro-Seek. This episode serves as a practical demonstration of how to research and apply this technique to gain a deeper understanding of your own biography and the timing of major life events.
