Transit Interaction
Transiting Mercury brings language, learning, and decision patterns as the moving timing factor. Natal Sun describes identity and vitality, which is the chart function being activated.
A conjunction is a 0 degrees contact with activation and emphasis; read the transit as a direct spotlight on the natal planet function. The useful question is how a moving condition is contacting a natal function, not whether the aspect is simply good or bad.
For timing, compare the exact hit date with the applying orb, separating orb and any retrograde return to the same degree.
Chart Checks
Use these checks before treating the transit as a major life theme.
| Check | Orb | Question | How close is the transit to exact? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Check | Natal house | Question | Which house contains natal Sun? |
| Check | Transit house | Question | Which natal house is transiting Mercury moving through? |
| Check | Retrograde passes | Question | Does the same aspect repeat across multiple dates? |
Reading Boundaries
