What is a transit? Transit means the passage of a heavenly body a planet through the zodiac. We prepare the birth chart on the basis of time, that is, the date and year of birth. To judge the transits, we need an Ephemeris for the year for which the good or bad effects by transits are to be judged.
The transit system consists of appraising the positions of the nine planets at a particular time for which the good or bad effects are to be ascertained together with the planetary position and the rising sign in the birth chart.
One of the basic theories of Hindu astrology is that all influences of planets fructify through the Moon, i.e., the Moon being the heavenly body nearest the earth, the influences filter through the Moon. Besides, all happiness and unhappiness is experienced by the mind or the heart.
In Western astrology transits of planets are judged vis-a-vis the radical longitudes of the planets and the ascending degree; but in Hindu astrology the popular and the most widely practiced method is to judge the transits from the natal Moon. The sign in which the Moon is at birth is popularly called the Rashi of the native. Rashi literally means a cluster or a heap. But since the signs in Hindu astrology are identified with constellations (which contain a heap or cluster of stars, forming a particular geometric pattern); the work Rashi has, by extended meaning, come to mean a sign and when only the Rashi of a particular native is referred to it means the Moon-Sign.
For purposes of judging the transit influences so much importance is given to the Janma-Rashi, that if the date or time of birth of the native is not known and his birth cannot be erected and the position of the Moon cannot be ascertained, it is fixed according to the initial syllable of the name of the individual. It is an accepted principle of Hindu astrology that the first syllable of a person's name vibrates with certain influences and these correspond to certain positions of the Moon in particular signs. We give below a table showing the correspondence between the initial syllable of the name and the particular Moon sign. |
