Interpretation text by Henry Seltzer
The insights offered through astrological transits can help you move forward with confidence, giving you a mirror for positive events and helping you to make sense of difficult transitions, and their timing.
A transit is formed when a planet in the sky makes a significant angle – called an aspect - to a planet in your natal chart. Each transit description below offers insightful clues on how to navigate your challenges and opportunities, and is provided with the date range for when each transit is in effect. This report includes transits lasting more than one or two days, from planets Jupiter through Pluto, plus Chiron, the Wounded Healer, a unique feature of this report. For definitions of astrological terms, please refer to the glossary at the end of this report.
Jupiter transits offer you what is in some ways a golden opportunity to make new progress in the area of life indicated. You may have a great deal of luck in your endeavors, which also expands your thinking and planning toward the highest manifestation of what you want to get out of the coming months. You may be so optimistic at these times that you could find yourself turning a blind eye to the drawbacks or the dangers of a contemplated move, throwing caution to the winds. This positive attitude might be just the ticket for success, or you might need to reign in your tendency to overdo with a balancing dose of caution. You benefit from surrendering to what comes to you without wanting or expecting more than is given.
Below are the date ranges when the positive and expansive energies of Jupiter will be most directly affecting you, followed by a paragraph indicating the types of experience to expect as Jupiter in the sky aspects various natal (birth chart) factors. It is also a good idea to reflect on wherever Jupiter is located in your original natal chart, as providing an additional way for you to relate to these periods.
From April 24, 2014 to May 8, 2014
exact May 1, 2014
You are full of spiritual and optimistic energy in your relationships. Artistic endeavors will also flourish under the beneficial influence of Jupiter, which tends to expand and make more radiant whatever it comes into contact with. You will also feel a renewed sense of connection to higher purpose in terms of your values generally. And of course, love and romance will be given an extra boost right now, which can make for very pleasant time for you. It is a good time to get together with a significant other and connect with them on a soul-to-soul level, perhaps one of the better transits for this type of activity. If there have been lingering problems in some particular relationship, now would be a great time to try to work them out. During this transit you may also be quite social and gregarious. You may find yourself giving more parties than you usually even go to, and being at the center of attention of them as well! This is altogether a pleasant and enjoyable transit as well as one that can be productive of long-term benefits if you look ahead beyond the immediate pleasures of the moment.
From April 28, 2014 to May 22, 2014
exact May 10, 2014
Your religious philosophy and broad intellectual framework are being subjected to a certain amount of suffering and re-examination. Painful experiences in these areas could lead you to a new outlook on life. Also at this time, you may feel a revitalization of the healing awareness within yourself, possibly in connection to the process of work done in connecting to old wounds, received in earlier developmental stages. When we reconnect with repressed and potentially painful feelings that have been buried away in the depths of our psyche we inhabit these rejected parts of ourselves and become more whole. At this time too, you may connect with a higher purpose in the work that you do, especially if this work involves helping people to heal in some way, and to grow in their own understanding of who they really are. You may take up the study of new-age healing techniques during this period, or in other ways inhabit the vision of wholeness and freedom from old pain that you feel emanates from the intuitive clarity provided by your higher self.
From May 13, 2014 to June 3, 2014
exact May 24, 2014
Your faith and your plans or aspirations as well as religious feelings will be powerfully and positively affected at this time, based on the 12-year cycle of Jupiter to its natal position, of which this transit is but one phase. Travel or educational plans are another possibility for expansion and renewed energy during the course of this transit. This is an especially important and beneficial period of time in your life. You have a renewed optimism and faith in yourself, and are likely to influence others by the example of your good energy. You must also be careful to temper your positive attitude at this time with a healthy dose of practicality or else you might over-commit yourself, but in general this is a great period of time for enhancing your possibilities. This energy may be useful for increased leadership in worldly affairs or for choosing different goals in life, perhaps adopting a more spiritual path.
From June 5, 2014 to June 15, 2014
exact June 10, 2014
Your ability to express ideas is generally enthusiastic during this period. This transit can bring positive energy, optimism, faith, or luck, as you may happen to think of it, to the areas ruled by Mercury, communication and intellect, the in-flow and out-flow of information in conversation or in writing. Greater energy is also available for friends and for thinking about future plans, although you may need to look more realistically at any limits and restrictions that could apply.
From June 11, 2014 to June 30, 2014
exact June 21, 2014
An excellent opportunity may be about to present itself to you. This is not in any grand design, but rather in focusing on the everyday tasks that constantly present themselves to you and demand your attention. It is a good time for moving ahead with your long-term career or other goals, also a good time to break free of previous setbacks or restrictions. You may be initiating a new phase of social responsibility at this time. Your progress will be slow but sure, and the long-term benefits of this period cannot be denied in your life.
From June 26, 2014 to July 14, 2014
exact July 5, 2014
You will find you have an expansive and optimistic attitude during this period of time. Your physical vitality is also powerfully affected, as well as your creative potential and your general sense of well-being. Although all this confidence is a real boost and you can get a lot of things done because of it, you may need to beware of being rash or having even too much optimism during this transit. There is also a peaceful and spiritual energy that comes strongly into your personality as a result of this transit, that can lead you to new levels of faith and understanding.
From July 18, 2014 to August 5, 2014
exact July 27, 2014
You're something of a high flyer these days. Jupiter expands whatever it comes into contact with, and in this case it's your assertiveness and animal passion. You may be so extremely confident and full of yourself that it is possible to overdo, during this period. On the other hand you may be quietly optimistic and high-minded, and on the path to good luck and great success in your endeavors. You benefit when you temper your confidence with just a bit of pessimism, for balance. During this transit, you will find you have much greater energy than usual, and your renewed sense of optimism may give you great clarity of purpose. You will likely find contact with the opposite sex quite pleasant and rewarding during this period of time. You may have so much physical energy that you need to seek an outlet for it in activity such as sports or getting down and cleaning up that old plumbing problem that has been lurking. Any activities that you engage in during this time will be very productive for you in long-term results, provided that you keep in balance and refrain from overdoing it.
From July 19, 2014 to July 28, 2014
exact July 23, 2014
You are full of enthusiasm for your life and a healthy sense of optimism pervades your thinking. This is a good time to make plans for the future. It is likely that you will positively reevaluate your life's goals and your faith in their concrete possibility. It is an excellent time to begin new projects, as you exercise a “golden touch” in almost anything that you attempt during this period. The peaceful and expansive energy represented by Jupiter comes into your conscious awareness as a result of this transit, leading to new levels of faith and understanding. You may begin a significant journey under the influence of this transit.
From July 19, 2014 to August 6, 2014
exact July 28, 2014
This transit affects public life, including work and career, as well as ego assertion, and the authority figures in your life. Your physical vitality is also affected, and your attitude to life in general. The peaceful energy of Jupiter comes strongly into your personality as a result of this transit, leading to entirely new levels of faith and understanding.
From July 23, 2014 to September 7, 2015
exact July 28, 2014
During this transit, which lasts for about one year, you are more responsible and practical than usual, and may feel renewed optimism and confidence regarding your professional life. At this time you tend to be extremely careful with money, and have a strong drive to achieve success. You may benefit from working with the public. There will likely be rewards associated with your career at this time. You are stepping out into the spotlight and everything flows well with respect to your public role. Try to take a balanced attitude in your approach to these benefits, and to be giving and generous with others, remembering that success and failure are equal ailments.
From August 1, 2014 to August 19, 2014
exact August 10, 2014
You feel a terrific sense of optimism and possibility. You are very sure of and comfortable with yourself, and may also expand your ideas regarding home and family. Your relationships with significant female figures in your life, such as with your mother, may also be full of joyful expansiveness, under the beneficial influence of this transit. This transit expands and emphasizes whatever it touches, and in this case it is your feelings and your feminine or nurturing side, the deeper part of yourself, as well as your attitudes toward home and family. All these areas will be seen in a more positive light during the course of this transit. There may be more peacefulness and quiet optimism in your family life than usual, during this period of time. It is a good time to make plans for the future, or to start projects which have to do with your home base, such as decorating, or getting something done that needs taking care of around the house. It is a good time to buy a home or real estate, should that possibility be a part of your current situation. You may also want to take advantage of this period to work on family issues, if there are any that need addressing. You will find yourself in a good place to deal with other people during this period of time. If there is a drawback, it is in being so peaceful and content that it is difficult to accomplish your goals; your drive for achievement may be temporally short-circuited. But this is not necessarily a bad thing. Relax, and enjoy the moment!
From August 16, 2014 to August 26, 2014
exact August 21, 2014
You will have renewed energy for the spiritual or philosophical side of your existence during this time. This transit boosts your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. You may find that you are very psychically attuned to others during the course of this transit. You have new and exciting spiritual insights at this time, and also a more disconnected energy than usual, perhaps a sense of confusion in your life. Feelings of confusion may also come up for you in a big way during this period of time. It is good to hold back on major decisions during this period. A healthy dose of skepticism also works well at this time, as an antidote to over-reaching.
Saturn transits offer you both grounding and limitation. These periods of close alignment with the archetype of the stern taskmaster can be frustrating, as you will have difficulty in moving forward, and find that it takes you far longer than usual to accomplish anything of import. However, the process will be to your best long-term advantage, for your extra focus will allow you to absorb the lessons more thoroughly. You don’t want to try to advance too quickly during these periods of intense Saturn transits, although you might choose to seek relief at times, in finding some way to lighten up. By remaining cautious, you take the greatest advantage of this timing. You might feel as though Saturn were “whispering in your ear,” gifting you with his lessons.
Below are the date ranges when the conservative and restrictive energies of Saturn will be most directly affecting you, followed by a paragraph indicating the types of experience to expect as Saturn in the sky aspects various natal (birth chart) factors. It is also a good idea to reflect on wherever Saturn is located in your original natal chart, as providing an additional way for you to relate to these periods.
From June 25, 2014 to August 13, 2014

You may feel isolated and involved with your own internal issues rather than with relationships in the outside world. When you do relate outwardly, it will be in a serious sober and practical manner. Saturn slows down your process of relating during this period of time, which enables you to take a closer look at the way you do relationships in general. You may feel cut off from friends and lovers at this time, or you may feel more isolated than usual, but there is an underlying reason in terms of your long-term growth as a human being. You may need to pay closer attention to the relationship areas of your life, even extending to your values, aesthetic and otherwise. Your values represent what you relate to in your cultural environment. Those relationships that are of significance in your life will become emphasized during the course of this transit, while others may fall away or change dramatically. It may be necessary to slow down in order to focus on what is most important to you in the long run. There is a restructuring of the relationships in your life that is going on, and it is ultimately for your own best evolutionary intent. This period of time begins a new thirty year cycle of relationship work for you, and you benefit from paying close attention to your process during this period, and trying to get absolutely clear on what you need and expect to get out of relationships, and what responsibilities you have to others as well.

You may feel restrictions to your freedom during this period of time, or feel that you want to be breaking away from something, but find yourself unable to do so. This conflict is unsettling for a time, but it will pass as the transit moves on and eventually diminishes in its influence. What you can take away from the experience is a more focused awareness of your energy for freedom and the search for new horizons, in spite of remaining, and to whatever extent you do remain, in the limitations of your established place in the world.
Uranus transits offer you what are likely to be surprises and lightening-like departures from wherever it was that you thought that you were heading, as though cosmic imps were your driver and made an unexpected left turn, another destination having flashed into their minds. It is indeed as though the universe has had other plans for you, all along, and you are only now getting that information. The epiphanies that you gain in this way can be startlingly clear. Some say that Uranus is the begetter of new ideas, giving us a sudden glimpse of the “architecture of the universe.” There is a restlessness and an excitability inside you during these periods that cannot easily be assuaged. You desire nothing more than to swing from the rafters, and reach for the stars. This seems sketchy, and it is, a little; yet when you follow your bliss in this way, amazing things can happen and, almost overnight, your life can change for the better.
Below are the date ranges when the unexpected and illuminating energies of the trickster archetype of Uranus will be most directly affecting you, followed by a paragraph indicating the types of experience to expect as Uranus in the sky aspects various natal (birth chart) factors. It is also a good idea to reflect on wherever Uranus is located in your original natal chart, as providing an additional way for you to relate to these periods.
From March 2, 2014 to April 7, 2014
exact March 20, 2014
This transit sparks your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Conflicts and drastic changes may come up for you during this period of time. You are likely to have new spiritual insights during this period, or find that your will to be different and to find your own unique pathway forward is more powerful than usual. You are undergoing an important transition in your life, entering an entire new phase of existence, in which the habitual patterns and concerns of the old way of your world may vanish entirely or diminish in their importance.
From May 1, 2014 to June 20, 2014
exact May 22, 2014
The energy you have for others is changing in some previously unexplored fashion. Even your values or your aesthetic sense could undergo a shake-up during this period of time. These unsettled feelings may find their outlet in some form of artistic creativity during this period of time. The most likely area of your life to experience alteration is your close personal relationships. Any relationships that have accumulated a sense of unconscious frustration over time are now likely to change. It is important during this period of time to remember that you can't go back -- change is vital if you are to grow as a human being, since life itself is change.
From May 10, 2014 to October 5, 2014
exact July 22, 2014 SR
You will likely experience an urge for freedom and spontaneity. There is a genius energy in you, an energy to create new things and depart from the normal run of the mill consciousness in doing so. With this transit, your mental creativity and spontaneity is up for a transformation of some sort. Perhaps you will launch yourself into new ways of thinking and being, even altering your lifestyle. There may be changes in store for you that have been waiting in the wings for the right moment to come on stage, new ways of being that more truly serve the evolutionary purpose that you came into this life to actualize. There may be some pain associated with this type of transition, since any peeling away of old skin is painful, and the process you are engaged in may leave you raw and exposed for a while. But something inside is pressuring you to move ahead, in spite of the consequences, and it is well to heed the wisdom of your soul's higher purpose. You may emerge from your chrysalis with a brave form and new wings.
From May 19, 2014 to September 25, 2014
exact June 15, 2014; exact August 27, 2014 R
Feelings of restlessness may come up for you during this period of time. You will undoubtedly have new spiritual and other forms of insight during the course of this transit. You may be entering a chrysalis stage, where seminal ideas emerge that will be seeds for a new phase of your thinking. Your will to be different is therefore activated at this time. A process of change that has been underway for some years now begins to manifest rather suddenly, as this impulsive and revolutionary vibration electrifies new ways of being.

Neptune transits offer you what is in many ways an experience that is out of this physical world. You feel your connection to the All That Is, and to all of mankind as well, experiencing others as extensions of your own body. This sounds like a lack of boundaries, and it is. In his purest form, the numinousity of Neptune feels like joining the fish in the sea, not as an individual, but as the sea itself. A few helpful restrictions can therefore be useful. The danger is that this feeling is so otherworldly that it runs counter to the everyday world and can therefore be confusing; you might suffer from being caught up in the meshes and long to escape, by any means available. Self-deception and even outright deceit on the part of others is also possible. On the positive side, there is a lovely feeling of compassion, and wonder, and a sincere sense of idealism that can encourage you to move beyond your previous limits.
Below are the date ranges when the compassionate and sensitive energies of Neptune will be most directly affecting you, followed by a paragraph indicating the types of experience to expect as Neptune in the sky aspects various natal (birth chart) factors. It is also a good idea to reflect on wherever Neptune is located in your original natal chart, as providing an additional way for you to relate to these periods.

exact March 9, 2014
You are particularly receptive to the moods of other people. What is affected is the female or instinctual part of your nature, and also your relations with your children or loved ones. These areas become more sensitive, and possibly more clouded with illusion during this transit. You will likely be more forgiving and compassionate toward others at this time. You may also be more willing to do things for others than normally, and you may wind up feeling taken advantage of as a result. You would do well to set some limits for yourself -- doing what you feel is right for you and not what others demand.

During this transit, which lasts about 14 years, your creative urges and romantic impulses are elevated to a higher and more idealized plane. You may find yourself attracted to pleasurable or personally creative experiences, or you may be inspired in artistic endeavors during this period of time. Love affairs of a glamorous nature can be precipitated, or your entire idea of love may undergo a transformation, through illusion and subsequent enlightenment and reflection. Your very self-expression may be glamorized and artistically molded during this period of time.

This transit renews your sense of spirituality, and your ideals. Feelings of confusion may also come up for you during this transit, while this aspect of transiting Neptune to its natal position is in effect. At this time, you are in the process of far-reaching re-evaluations. It can be a confusing time, as illusions and self-concepts, which may be the very motivating factors by which you live, are called into question and a new basis for re-imaging the fundamental concepts of your life may be emerging. Your imagination is very active now, for Neptune is the planet of image and illusion. Be sure to weigh carefully the ideas that come up for you at this time.

Pluto transits can bring destruction to some major part of your life, and offer you the chance to grow beyond places where you were previously caught. These are actually likely to be parts of yourself that you were ready to outgrow; and perhaps where you were overdue for a change. Pluto reveals our deep desire nature, and also brings hidden complexes to the light of greater consciousness and understanding, enabling us to reach a new plateau of psycho-spiritual development. Like the child who is told that it is time for bed, and resists, we sometimes find ourselves reluctant to enter into a different and necessary new phase of experience. This is quite natural. As one philosopher puts it, “When you have a problem, and you ignore it, don’t worry! It will get worse.” This little parable gives away the secret of handling strong Pluto transits, and that is not to resist. When you simply allow the universe to have its way with you, and see where you come out on the other side, you might ultimately, with the perspective of time, be pleasantly surprised.
Below are the date ranges when the obsessive and transformational energies of Pluto will be most directly affecting you, followed by a paragraph indicating the types of experience to expect as Pluto in the sky aspects various natal (birth chart) factors.

Transits to Pluto affect your urge for self-transformation and regeneration. Complexes and compulsive behavior may come up for you during this period of time. You may need to confront hidden parts of yourself that have been active in an unconscious behavior pattern for many years, during this period of time, and bring them to your conscious awareness so that they can be dealt with. Such a bringing to light of old wounds and buried parts of your psyche is incredibly cathartic and healing. You will undoubtedly have new spiritual as well as personal insights as a result of the material coming into your consciousness during this period of time.
Chiron transits can be difficult, as old trauma recurs, stimulated by the current events of your life. Yet these potentially painful times do offer an excellent and far-reaching opportunity to see where you have been wounded in the past and may yet heal. Chiron reveals hidden parts of you that have been walled away as threatening to confident self-possession, typically stemming from early childhood. There could have been authority or other issues with parental figures, or with peers, that were too much to be assimilated at the time of the original trauma, and that have been crying out ever since to come into the light of consciousness and be revealed, and even accepted, by your more mature presence. When these continue to be ignored, they can manifest as sudden eruptions from below, volcanic outbursts of rage or sadness, which although triggered by interpersonal events are without apparent cause for their overwhelming intensity. The way through these outbursts is to recognize their deeper origins. You will make great progress to the extent that you can succeed in paying the closest possible attention to everything that is going on within you at this time, without judgment or blame. Then, truly, are you able to come through to the other side of your original trauma.
Below are the date ranges when the difficult and potentially painful energies of Chiron will be most directly affecting you, followed by a paragraph indicating the types of experience to expect as Chiron in the sky aspects various natal (birth chart) factors. It is absolutely vital that you reflect on wherever Chiron is located in your original natal chart, and also the connections that it there makes to the personal planets of Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars, as providing additional information to you, so that you can better relate to these periods. The type of natal Chiron that you already have will be triggered by these times of close Chiron contacts.
From January 18, 2014 to February 22, 2014
exact February 5, 2014
You may be in for a rough time, as structures of your life that had previously supported you no longer serve their earlier purpose, and transform themselves in your life. There is always pain surrounding changes of this magnitude, and you are well advised to “go with the flow” at this time, as difficult as that may be, and just let it happen. All your attempts to hold on to a previous reality will only make you crazy, whereas if you accept the inevitability of change you can even start to enjoy the process and feel exhilarated by it, like rocking along on a roller coaster engaged in the swooping scenery. With this transit, you may experience intimations of other worlds beyond this present one. Sexual experience may provide the gateway into the hidden world of the dark places in the human psyche, yours or another person's. Old wounds that can be inhibiting and crippling until explored and come to terms with may begin to open themselves up to you. Ultimately, this process can only be for good effect on the evolutionary path of your life, as getting in touch with your shadow side will let these forces breathe and have their communion with your consciousness, rather than remaining in the dark to fester. When you have integrated these dark ambassadors from the underworld of your own psyche, they can become powerful forces for healing as your outlook changes and you become better able to relate to yourself, and others around you as well.

You are likely to be undergoing a period of new realizations, potentially painful, around the issues of close personal relationships, artistic expression, and your values in general. Relationship issues are definitely “up” for you, and you may find yourself in the midst of some big changes because of it. It may be that old issues of the way that you do relationship with others, issues that you were perhaps not even fully aware of, may come to the surface during this transit, perhaps brought on by current events such as with regard to your significant partnerships at this time. If you have a close relationship with an intimate partner it may be in the process of transformation during this period, which of course could be extremely painful, but also extremely rewarding as well in terms of the larger picture of your life's path. It is also possible that your artistic expression or your aesthetic values may be in transition at this time, as you leave off ways of feeling and expressing yourself that no longer serve you. The ultimate purpose of these challenges is that you may grow in your self-concept, and adapt your relationship energy to a style that is more appropriate to your present state of evolution, as you let go of habits from the past that have been inhibiting the fullest expression of yourself in relation to another. If the old ways are not working for you any longer, it is best to get on with the new ones, rather than remaining stuck in the mud of previous patterns.

This could be a time when strange events force upon you an intimation of other worlds, a broader perspective than that of ordinary reality, perhaps a taste of the transpersonal world of shamanism and magic. It is also a time for re-examination of some of the painful issues that may be part of your make-up and that may possibly have been holding you back until now. Usually some issues from early childhood that were too painful to deal with in their era, and that have become repressed and remain lodged in your unconscious, come up during this period of time, perhaps brought on by recent events. Long repressed feelings may be difficult and painful to deal with, but there is a rich reward for getting in touch with these walled-off areas in order to become more whole. You can achieve a much greater degree of self-acceptance and ease once you have made the dark journey of discovery to find what lies within that space.

Different facets of your life experience will emerge through different transits, and the dates will overlap in complex combinations. Not all the stellar “influences” - actually barometer read-outs on your own inner workings - will be obvious at any one moment of time. Please do keep in mind that you are not limited by these descriptions. Your transits do not prescribe your fate. The stars incline, they do not compel. Your transits show potentials that you can either struggle to fulfill or deny. The choice is yours.
