Outer planets usually go from direct to retrograde to direct over the planets in the sign it's transiting.
This is from Bernadette Brady's book "The Eagle and the Lark":
quote:
The number of times that the transit interacts with the natal point is relevant as it represents the number of times and/ or the length of time that Fate deems it necessary for the student to learn, or experience, the particular lesson which is crucial to personal development. The average transit of an outer planet consists of three touches to a point in the natal chart. The length of duration of the transit is for the entire time, as shown in figure 18. However, the three times that it touches, can be considered climaxes, with each one marking a phase of the transit. By coincidence, there are also three phases to the way that an individual will learn something.
The first pass of the transit symbolizes observation. As children we observed adults reading to us. We could not understand the markings on the page but the adult, by looking at these markings, could tell a wonderful story. We became aware of the concept of reading. This is the stage of observation—observation— the first stage of any learning process. If a child never sees someone reading, or never sees the written word, the child will not even conceive of the possibility of reading and writing. The child will therefore grow up with no consciousness of these processes and become an adult without literacy skills.
One hundred years ago, people did not conceive of the world of silicon chips and computers, so no one tried to build one. We can only invent that which is already in our consciousness. Hence we can see the important role of science fiction writers, who plant the seeds that the world of science tries to grow.
The first touch of a transit, therefore, is something which is not in our consciousness. It is being observed for the first time so that it can become part of our conscious knowledge.
Therefore, the first hit of a transit can be the most jolting— like seeing a flying saucer on your front lawn. Sometimes however, a person will remain detached from the event; “The flying saucer is on my neighbor's front lawn and therefore, has nothing to do with me.” Pluto transits can sometimes be handled like the next-door-neighbor's flying-saucer syndrome probably because the person is unwilling to acknowledge the large emotional content generated by this planet's transit.
By noticing this phenomena in our environment, the flying saucer— or more realistically, our parents reading— we decide that we will learn how to read. Recognition, or acceptance, is the second phase of learning.
The second pass of the transit enables us to recognize that possibility that we are also capable of achieving this wondrous feat of reading. Owning the issue, accepting our part in it, not knowing yet what to do with it, or how to handle it, but accepting that it is there and that it is going to become part of our life, is also the second phase or touch of the transit. The flying saucer is not going to go away so we had better start incorporating it into the garden landscape. This can be a very difficult phase of the transit.
By practicing we, therefore, move into the third stage of learning and that is one of assimilation.
We can read. We read so well that we use it unconsciously every day by glancing at street signs, newspapers, and so on. Reading becomes second nature to us. This is the third hit of a transit— acceptance and assimilation— the energy that was once so alien, so foreign, so disturbing, seems to fade into the background with the other daily clutter of memories, resources and experiences. Thus, in summary the first touch is a projection or observation. The second touch is recognition or acceptance. The third touch is assimilation. The first time a particular transit happens, events occur which are outside personal experiences; the second touch is when the person does something that will enable him or her to incorporate the events into his or her world; and the third touch is that of assimilation, the time when the current issues of the transit are no longer an issue, but have melted into the background, having been successfully incorporated into the person's life.
If a transit is a long transit with five touches involved, then it is possible that the second stage of “learning how to read” takes longer. This situation implies that there will be difficulties adjusting to the new situations brought by the transit.
When a transit is short— as is the case with some Saturn and Jupiter transits which may only have one hit lasting no more then a week in time— it is an indication that the individual has already assimilated the information at an earlier time. The actual transit issues— that have to be worked out— should be very mild with very few consequences, if any.
How these will then affect you have to do with the planet transiting and it's natal House location. Look at the house the transiting planet rules, in the case of Saturn, you would look at Capricorn and if you use traditional rulers also Aquarius. Look at the planet it is transiting over and the house/s that it natally rules. Then add in the overall house/sign that it is transiting through.
With all of this, you can look up the sign, planet and house meanings and put together a little interpretation for yourself.
Saturn = Hard work, organisation, restriction, physical manifestation, solidification.
Sun = Vitality, unique abilities, how we feel special, romance, children
Then the aspects:
Conjunction is a change of the natal planet into the energy of the transiting planet.
Opposition is when someone is forcing you to make a decision about something.
Square is when it's nobody's fault, a situation arises which forces you into a new direction.
Trine is when all restriction is removed and the situation moves forward with nothing in the way of the outcome, for better or worse.
Sextile is when you have an opportunity that may or may not help the situation move forward. If the sextile is in Air/Fire signs then the opportunity falls into your lap, if the sextile is in Water/Earth signs then it's an opportunity that is created from your efforts.
You have to continue adding the basics of the house the transiting planet rules, the transited planet rules, the house it's all happening in etc.
