	Aquamoonlight Astrology - Transits of Planets in Astrology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Inner planet transits can be much more significant if at the same time they are making their own aspects together and hitting on a point of the birthchart which has its own.
		Transits of the "heavy" outer planets are very much more significant in that they spend more time hovering over a particular area of a chart.
		A transit of one of the outer planets doesn't necessarily have to hit a natal planet for its effect to be felt.

	Forecasting the future
		Transits are perhaps the most intuitively obvious of the 3 major predictive techniques (transits, progressions, and returns) to understand.
		Some astrologers refer to sidereal transits as "precessed transits" because a transit calculated in the sidereal zodiac is different from transits calculated in the tropical zodiac according to the amount of precession that occurred since the person was born.
		Transits to the natal Ascendant, MC, 7th house, and 4th house cusp are also very important, and some astrologers feel that these transits can have even more powerful life-changing effects than transits to the inner planets.

	Astronomical transit - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A transit is the astronomical event that occurs when one celestial body appears to move across the face of another celestial body, as seen by an observer at some particular vantage point.
		A transit of Mars across Jupiter on 12 Sep 1170 was observed by the monk Gervase at Canterbury, and by Chinese astronomers.
		During a transit there are four "contacts", when the circumference of the small circle (small body disk) touches the circumference of the large circle (large body disk) at a single point.

	Zoom Astronomy Glossary: T
		Transit is when a smaller body passes in front of a larger one (for example, when an object passes between the Sun and the Earth).
		Trojan asteroids are asteroids that orbit in gravitationally stable Lagrange points in a planet's orbit, either trailing it or preceding it (these places are where the gravitational attraction of the Sun and of the planet balance each other).
		The tropopause is the boundary zone (or transition layer) between the troposphere and the stratosphere of the Earth's atmosphere.

		Generally, the asteroids considered are those that are relic planetesimals formed in and beyond the asteroid belt (which is located between 2.2 and 3.2 AU from the Sun), as far away from the Sun as the Trojans, which orbit at Jupiter's distance.
		Some classified asteroids may be atypical of their class (e.g., M-types with 3-µm absorption features) or may have different meteorite analogs, pending availability of better data (e.g., M-types not surveyed by radar for high radar reflectivity could have undifferentiated enstatite chondrites as a meteorite analog).
		Differentiated asteroids are known to be subject to cross-contamination, although it is uncertain whether such material would constitute such a trivial volume of the surface material on asteroids that the odds of sampling it would be negligible.

		Generally, asteroids are relic planetesimals formed in and beyond the asteroid belt (which is located between 2.2 and 3.2 AU from the Sun), as far away from the Sun as the Trojans, which orbit at Jupiter's distance.
		Other types of asteroids have been defined, including the common P- and D-types in the outer parts of the asteroid belt, but little is known about their composition and origin.
		Therefore, for all undifferentiated metamorphosed asteroids as well as for differentiated asteroids, the potential for a living entity to be present in returned samples is extremely low, but the task group could not conclude that it is necessarily zero.

	Transit of Venus
		Transits of Venus were found to be important when Edmund Halley (1656-1743) demonstrated that they could be used to measure the distance to the Sun with some precision.
		While a reasonable value for the distance to the Sun was obtained through observations of transits, astronomers soon found other methods to measure the distance with even greater precision, primarily through careful measurements of the positions of asteroids, and Mars.
		He predicted a transit of Mercury, in November 1631, which was observed, and a transit of Venus the next month (which was not visible from Western Europe).

	History - Expeditions - transit of Venus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In 1716 Halley proposed the transit method to determine the A. Astronomers had decades to prepare and the 1761 transit was a flurry of excitement and expeditions were organised all over the world.
		The transit was successfully observed from Concordia Gardens, a social club that used to be behind St Mary's Cathedral in Cape Town.
		Using observations from the 18th Century transit of Venus, Johann Franz Encke in 1824 from Seeburg Observatory in Germany announced a value of 8.58 arc seconds, translating to 153 340 000 +/- 660 000 km (92 180 000 +/- 410 000 miles) This was 2.5% larger than the modern value.

	The Lunar Planner: The Asteroids including Pluto Orcus Varuna Quaoar Ixion Xena
		Asteroids embody the fragmented pieces of self, and significantly fill in the missing pieces to the astrological chart, particularly when creating aspects to other planetary geometries.
		In mythical language, Vesta, revered goddess of the Vestal Virgins, is daughter of Rhea and Saturn, the eldest sister of Jupiter, and is keeper of the sacred fire on Mt. Olympus--meaning keeper of the eternal flame (truth) of the soul.
		Chiron, characteristic of both a comet and an asteroid, is generally called a "planetoid," although in early 1995 it was reclassified to a comet status due to a March '94 observation of two discrete ice-jets emanating from its surface.

	BBC - Astronomy: Stardate
		The first asteroids to be discovered were given names from classical mythology, such as Ceres, Juno, Pallas and Vesta.
		However, no asteroid is awarded a name until it has been observed long enough for its orbit to be determined with a fair degree of precision.
		For example, the asteroid (4179) Toutatis was discovered in early January 1989 and initially had the provisional designation 1989 AC, in which the first letter (A) signifies that it was discovered during the period January 1-15 and the second letter (C) shows that it was the third discovery during that period.

	najaramah - Saturn Transits through Houses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Generally, the effect of Saturn transiting a house is felt in a more pronounced way in the first part of its transit through the house, as well as when it forms aspects to natal planets.
		This transit has traditionally been associated with financial loss, but in truth, it is more about our perceptions—we are apt to review how effective we have been on a financial level to date, and find some dissatisfaction with our progress.
		Saturn's transit of the tenth house is an eye-opening one—a time when we are working hard, taking on our fair share of duties and responsibilities, and either reaping some of the rewards of our hard work or facing the consequences of poor choices.

	SPACE.com -- Mercury Transits Sun, Images on Web
		The transit was underway as the Sun rose in the eastern United States.
		The transit occurred because Mercury is closer to the Sun than Earth.
		Otherwise, astronomers had not planned any significant science for the event, which was seen as a warm-up for an even rarer transit of another inner planet next year.

	VenusTransitEngel
		Transit implies that the body in front appears smaller than the body behind and covers only a part of it.
		Other examples of transits in the solar system are transits of the four biggest moons of Jupiter across the face of that planet.
		Check a few days before the transit that the support you have designed and the location you have chosen are convenient for viewing the moving Sun during the full time of the transit from about 07:30 to 13:30.

		Astrologers need to understand these asteroids simply because the issues dominating our emerging global community are not explained by the traditional planets, and asteroids fill in the missing letters of the astrological alphabet.
		Women with an asteroid angular (conjunct or opposite the Ascendant, or conjunct or opposite the Midheaven) or in close aspect to the Sun tend to personify this asteroid very directly.
		The best way to see how any one of these asteroids works in the real world is to observe the individual who has the asteroid prominently placed, or to watch what happens when the asteroid is suddenly hit by a major progression or outer planet transit.

	Quarter Million Year Canon of Solar System Transits
		In the case of a triple transit involving the Earth, Moon, and a third planet, the database will contain separate records for the double transits of Earth and the planet, the Moon and the planet, and the triple event when Earth, Moon, and the planet were all in transit together.
		Transits are reported in barycentric dynamical time when bodies align such that an inner planet is geometrically in front of the Sun as seen from the outer planet.
		We define the "centre" of the transit as the integration step with the maximum depth; for this transit of Mercury, as seen from Earth, this occurred at 07:40 UTC with a depth of 0.0669 which, within the granularity of the integration, agrees with the actual time of geocentric mid-transit at 07:52:23.

		The last time a transit like this could have been seen was 1965, but Earth-based telescopes weren’t powerful enough to image the event at the time.
		Though such “transits” by moons across the disks of their parents are commonplace for some other gas giant planets, such as Jupiter, the satellites of Uranus orbit the planet in such a way that they rarely cast shadows on the planet’s surface.
		This transit has never been observed before because Uranus is just now approaching its 2007 equinox when the Sun will shine directly over the giant planet’s equator.

		Chiron's orbit, unlike that of the asteroids, lies between Saturn and Uranus, and is irregular in that it occasionally crosses inside the orbit of Saturn.
		Juno thus symbolizes the transition state between old and new ways of being, where the old fails to meet the needs of the times and the new is not yet manifest.
		The asteroid Vesta (Latin) is named after the ancient Greek goddess Hestia, first born of the Olympian deities and last released by her father Cronos (father Time), who at one point swallowed all his offspring.

	SPACE.com -- Transit Headquarters: Venus Crosses the Sun June 8
		And because the first Venusian transit was only predicted in the 1600s, by Johannes Kepler, only five have been recorded, in 1639, 1761, 1769 and 1874 and 1882.
		Some astronomers are interested in the transit as a way to hone skills for using the related celestial alignments for detecting planets passing in front of other stars and probing the atmospheres of those planets.
		The next transit is on June 6, 2012 and will be visible from northwestern North America, northern Asia, Japan, Korea, eastern China, Philippines, eastern Australia, and New Zealand, according to NASA.

		Most asteroids are in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, but some are in orbits close to Earth and thus more accessible.
		Asteroids are attractive sources of material because they have water and launch and landing is very easy due to the small gravitational attraction of asteroids.
		Planets are a poor source of materials in the early stages of space colonization because launch and landing is difficult or, in the case of the gas giants, impossible.

		The interpretation of asteroids is based on the mythology or history of the named character or event, and additionally, what placement they have in a natal chart or during a transit.
		When the name of the asteroid closely resembles the name of a person it is a sign that the person has a very strong relationship with the energy and behavior and thought patterns associated with the mythology or history of that name.
