More about Planets

As the planets move in the sky, their effects are played out in the people and events of our lives.  We know what area each transit will be felt in by which house it is passing through. The houses in astrology are those 12 pie slices you’ve seen on the charts, showing Aries on the first house, Taurus on the second, etc.  Your birth time determines your rising sign, which determines how your own houses line up on the wheel.  How the planets line up determines WHAT area of your life will be affected, and how they aspect each other determines HOW it will play out. Below is a list showing how long each planet is typically in each house.  Consult an online ephemeris for exact dates in and out of each house.
