A shared calendar and a personal transit

A sign ingress is a shared date within the chosen zodiac. A personal transit compares a moving planet with a degree in a particular birth chart. These answer different questions, so the table is labelled “sign ingresses”.

Calculated on 7 September 2026, in the tropical zodiac. Dates are approximate and in Bulgarian time; eclipse dates use the global peak. This is not a local observing timetable.

An example using a natal degree

If a natal placement is at 15° Aries, a planet entering at 0° Aries is not yet exactly conjunct it. Find when its longitude reaches 15° and state the orb used. Retrograde motion can produce more than one passage over a degree.

Scope of the reference

The reference includes Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. It does not list every daily aspect, lunar phase or lunar ingress. Dates are calculated using geocentric longitude and the tropical zodiac.
