Preparing the search…

1

Choose a question

One moving planet, a clear event type, and an explicit zodiac.

2

Find the dates

See repeated crossings and turning points within your chosen window.

3

Read the evidence

Select a date, inspect its exact chart and compare your observations.

Method and provenance

Follow exact transit contacts across a search window

An exact-contact search locates the selected angular relationship through time. A retrograde loop can bring the same body back to the same target; the list should be read as a sequence, rather than assuming there must be three passes.

  1. Choose one clear comparison

    Select the moving body, natal target, aspect and zodiac. Keep the birth profile fixed while setting the search window. Both epochs use the chosen reference at their own dates.

  2. Read the whole sequence

    Compare each event's date and motion. A retrograde pass is another crossing of the selected geometry. A numbered row is its order in this search, not necessarily the first pass of an entire cycle.

    mathematical consequence

  3. Separate timing from duration

    An exact instant is different from entering or leaving an orb. A body can approach a target and turn away without reaching it; no result does not mean there was no close approach.

  4. Read the natal target first

    Connect the target's natal role and house topics with the moving body's themes. In a psychological reading, compare the situation you noticed, your response and another plausible explanation across the listed dates.

  5. Inspect and retain the evidence

    Select an event to calculate its chart at the solved instant. Keep the search settings, natal target and numerical result with the download so another reader can reproduce the comparison.

    workspace procedure

This searches exact longitude geometry, not orb-entry periods or guaranteed personal events. A sidereal degree aspect is a modern comparison in a chosen reference, not a substitute for classical graha drishti. The event chart's houses describe its chosen location; the natal target and natal house context remain separate. Near-stationary touches and unresolved sampling intervals are flagged rather than certified; inspect these before treating a series as complete.
