When a transit seems to pass unnoticed
You notice an approaching transit and expect something significant. Then it passes, and you are left wondering whether anything happened at all.
These “silent transits” receive surprisingly little attention. Are our expectations unrealistic? Are we looking so closely for external events that we miss a quieter change in our outlook? Or do some transits only become understandable when we look back?
In this seminar, Mark explores these questions alongside the practical work of forecasting. He will consider which transits, progressions and solar arc directions are most likely to be felt, and why.
Example charts will connect the discussion with the experiences astrologers encounter in their own lives and their work with clients.
You do not need to be a Faculty student to attend.
