Transits

Opening Transits

In Astro Clock, click Transits in the Timing group of the Tools bar. The tool opens in its own window; close it with the close button or press Escape.

What This Tool Can Use

Chart source has two options:

• Enter birth data: type the birth date, time and place
• Saved chart: use a chart you saved in Astro Clock

With Saved chart, the birth-data fields are ignored and the chosen saved chart is the birth chart for every scan, prediction and exact-time check.

Screen At A Glance

Legend

1. Chart source: Enter birth data or Saved chart
2. Choose saved chart
3. Refresh and Clear
4. House system (Regiomontanus)
5. Transit date (optional)
6. Transit time (optional)
7. Residence for returns (optional) and its time zone
8. Close button (or press Escape)

Choosing The Birth Chart

Enter Birth Data

Type the Birth date, Birth time (local time at the birthplace), Birthplace and Time zone (an IANA name such as Europe/London).

Saved Chart

• Pick the chart from Choose saved chart.
• Refresh reloads the list of saved charts.
• Clear removes the current choice.

This is the easiest way to reuse the same birth chart across repeat transit work.

Setup Fields

• House system is fixed to Regiomontanus.
• Transit date and Transit time are optional. They are used by Compute exact time, and to centre a scan when no range is set. Times are in the chart's time zone.
• Residence for returns and Residence time zone are optional. Solar and lunar returns are cast for the birthplace; Morin casts them where you live, so enter a residence to use it.

After Compute exact time, or a click on a peak, Solar revolution and Lunar revolution cards show the return in force, its themes and how far it supports the period.

Filters

Legend

1. Sensitive houses
2. Focus houses
3. Sensitive planets
4. Focus planets
5. Include: optional layers
6. Find windows

• Sensitive houses add those house cusps as transit targets, with quick picks for None, Angles (1/10), Angular or All.
• Focus houses make hits to natal points in those houses score higher.
• Sensitive planets choose which planets count, with None, Classical or All.
• Focus planets (comma-separated) make hits involving those planets score higher.
• Include turns on house cusps, antiscia, the Part of Fortune, transiting modern planets and natal modern planets.

Context Windows

Find windows suggests primary direction, progression and solar arc windows. Under Context windows you can:

• choose the Layers: PD (primary directions), Prog (progressions) and SA (solar arc)
• turn on Use context windows in scan & predictions, so only times inside every enabled window count
• edit each window's start and end, or Clear context

Primary directions use Regiomontanus with planetary latitude, direct and converse, with the Naibod key counted from birth. Solar arc and progressions are optional layers outside Morin's method.

Scan Window

Legend

1. Scan range
2. Step (minutes)
3. Quick picks for the step
4. Actions: Scan window, Use intersection, Compute exact time, Run predictor
5. Timeline
6. Context emphasis
7. Top peaks, each with Use

• Set the Scan range start and end, or use Next 7 days or Next 30 days at the top of Scan window. Leave both blank to scan a day around the transit time.
• Step (minutes) sets how dense the scan is; the form tells you about how many scans that makes per day. Smaller steps give more points, larger steps move faster through long ranges.

Main Actions

• Scan window scans the range and highlights strong windows.
• Use intersection narrows the scan range to the overlap of the enabled context windows.
• Compute exact time checks the transit date and time entered above.
• Run predictor groups the range into support windows and peak timestamps.

Timeline

After a scan:

• click a bar in the timeline to see that moment under Exact time
• peak outlines mark representative rows, and rings mark critical rows
• Context emphasis reshapes the timeline when context windows are active
• Top peaks jump straight to the strongest moments; Use sends that time to the main Astro Clock

Critical signals in scan lists any crisis-type signals found in the range, with their top scores and times, and a table lists each scanned time with its top hits, tags, predictions, tone, score and count.

Predictor Results

Legend

1. Predictor results and the range
2. Predictor step, tuned to the window size
3. Percentages are rule-concordance scores, not probabilities
4. A support window and its theme
5. Window support, density, score and rule concordance
6. When it is strongest, and the transit behind it
7. Peak timestamps
8. Use sends a peak to the main Astro Clock

Exact Time

Legend

1. Exact time
2. Tone, score and hit count
3. Critical signals at this moment
4. Area and topic tags
5. Show technical tags and Show extra keywords
6. The evidence table

The evidence table shows, for each hit, the transiting body, the target, the aspect, the 3D and longitude orbs, the phase, the direction (dexter or sinister), the timing window, the life area, the event or theme, and keywords. The Morin 3D orb includes celestial latitude; the longitude orb drives the timing estimate.

Practical Workflow

1. Choose Enter birth data or Saved chart.
2. Set any filters that matter for the question.
3. Click Find windows if you want the timing layers.
4. Set the scan range and step.
5. Click Scan window and look at the timeline and its top peaks.
6. Click a peak, or use Compute exact time, to read one moment in detail.
7. Click Run predictor for grouped support windows over the range.

Notes

• A saved chart is optional here.
• The same saved chart can drive the scan, the predictor and the exact-time check.
• Saving a birth chart once in Astro Clock is the quickest way to keep transit work consistent across sessions.
