Sky history
What the slow transits mean, and what happened the last times they were here
Saturn, Rahu and Jupiter move slowly, so each one comes back to the same sign every 12 to 30 years. Each transit page teaches what the tradition expects, then shows the record: what was in the news, and who was born, every time it was there since 1900. With a saved chart, it also says which house it falls in for you and how old you were each time.
How to use Sky history
Astrology has always been learned by checking the teaching against the record. Three questions read any transit, and every page here walks them.
- How comfortable is the planet here?Exalted, at home, in a friend's sign, or debilitated. Comfort sets whether the planet's themes come easily or have to be worked for.
- Which house is it in, for you?The same sign is a different house for every rising sign. The house says which part of life the transit touches: money, home, work, partners.
- What else was in the sky?A slow transit sets the backdrop. The other slow planets, and the eclipses, say what played out in front of it. No single transit explains a year.

The stories and people come from Wikipedia, picked by how many languages they are written about in. They happened while these planets were in these signs. That does not mean the planets caused them. What each page teaches is what the tradition expects; the record is there to be checked against it.
