Daily To Yearly Transits

    Transits from planets cross through almost every sign in the zodiac,  representing events or the energy around us that influence our daily and even yearly perceptions.  Just like in a natal chart, in a transit chart the planets also have aspect relationships with our natal planets. When there are aspects from transiting planets to our natal planets, the current transits begin to have a personal affect on our lives. Of course, this is not something to always think in a negative light.  The transits and their aspects also represent opportunities that may open up to us, should we want to achieve something.  When benefic (positive) planets like Jupiter and Venus transit and aspect our natal chart, it would represent a variety of opportunities  or positive energy that will benefit us in some way. Malefic (negative) planets like Mars or Saturn that transit and aspect our natal chart may seem more like obstacles than opportunities, but we may also get a lot more accomplished than ever before because of the discipline of Saturn and drive of Mars.  Daily horoscopes that are normally found in blogs, magazines, or newspapers are usually written based on the transits.

​

      On this website we focus on the influence Venus (and some other planets) have on our music tastes and musical appreciations. The question is how does the transiting Venus influence our musical taste and/or our appreciation for music? What about other transiting planets in our solar system?  Which planets will play the largest role in our musical aesthetic sides?  On this page, we will review the transits' influence on music.

When Venus (Or Neptune) Transits A Sign, A House, or Planetary Aspect

::SIGNS::

   Venus is the planet of love, beauty, money, and the arts. It has the heaviest influence on our musical appreciation as a result. As explained, Venus in the transit chart plays its own special role when thinking about music. Through the signs, Venus makes its transit one month at a time.  In each sign Venus develops a different style and flair, representing the nature of current music around us. 

    When Neptune is found in these signs, it will also give off similar energy, as the higher octave of Venus. However, Neptune affects an entire generation which means Neptune's influence on the music trends will last longer.
