Transiting Aspects Study

The Transiting Aspects Study generates an event whenever a transiting body forms an exact aspect (cycle angle) to a natal body. The study evaluates aspects between transiting bodies and the bodies of a selected natal record.

Create a Transiting Aspects Study

To add a new Transiting Aspects Study to the active workspace:

1. Click Transit Studies on the menu bar.
2. Click Transiting Aspects in the menu.

You can also create a Transiting Aspects Study from the toolbar by clicking the Aspect Studies drop-down button and selecting Transiting Aspects.

Events Captured

A Transiting Aspects event occurs when a transiting body forms an exact aspect (cycle angle) listed in the Aspects table to a natal body. The natal body is supplied by the natal record selected in the Natal Data Configuration.

Events Table Columns

The events table for a Transiting Aspects Study contains the following columns:

Column	Description
Date Time	Date and time of the event.
Transiting Body	Name of the transiting body in the aspect.
Transiting Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the transiting body.
Transiting Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the transiting body.
Transiting Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the transiting body.
Transiting Body Distance	Distance of the transiting body from the coordinate origin.
Transiting Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the transiting body.
Cycle Angle	Aspect angle (cycle position) between the transiting and natal body, in degrees.
Phase	Phase of the aspect cycle, derived from the cycle angle: New (0°), Waxing (between 0° and 180°), Full (180°), or Waning (between 180° and 360°).
Separation	Angular distance from the exact aspect at the moment of detection (always near zero because the event fires at exact cycle-angle match).
Natal Body	Name of the natal body being aspected.
Natal Body Longitude	Ecliptic longitude (or right ascension) of the natal body.
Natal Body Sign	Zodiac sign of the natal body.
Natal Body Latitude	Ecliptic latitude (or declination) of the natal body.
Natal Body Distance	Distance of the natal body from the coordinate origin.
Natal Body Speed	Apparent angular speed of the natal body.
Event Interval	Time interval between this event and the previous event in the result set.
