T O P I C R E V I E WfilleaspirantThese are dumb, like REALLY dumb questions, but I'm still unsure what's the difference and purpose of a transit chart, a progressed chart and a solar return chart.Also, can a person calculate a saturn return chart and prepare for that? sorenA transit chart is a chart that compares the placements of the planets on a specific day with your natal chart.A progressed chart is your current chart for your age. For example you were born with your natal chart. And as the planets moved shortly after your birth your chart changed. The progressed chart shows the position of the planets soon after your birth. There are 2 types of progressed charts that I know of. One is to match up each day after you were born with the year of life you are at. For example the chart of your 3rd day of life would be your progressed chart for your 3rd YEAR of life. And so on. Another way which I find more important and evidently true is to figure out your progressed ascendent (which moves 1-2 degrees per year on average from your natal degree) and where that degree falls is the ascendent on your progressed natal chart. So this chart would be a chart of only one to several hours after you were born. So the planets don't really change positions but they do change houses. It seems to be accurate for me.A planetary return is when a planet returns to the same degree and position that it was at when you were born. So a solar return happens every year. Saturn takes longer though (24 years?) so it is a more rare and notable event. And yes you can calculate your saturn return. Just see when it returns to the same degree that it was at when you were born. I don't know how to prepare for it or if it's worth worrying about.

I like the way the second progressed chart is calculated and I'm going to see if I can apply it to my own!Thanks, Ami, for the kind words. Ellyn, thank you for the tip and link for the book. I'll check it out eventually. extreme4love Not dumb questions at all, I for one thank you for asking. The explanations were easily understood as well, and thank you.YanmorgA question is never dumb unless you already know the answer and even then, it's still not dumb because you might just need to clarify the answer. The only dumb question is the question you don't ask. We're all learning and none if us knows everything under the Sun.sorenYou're very welcome. Glad you appreciated it.

A progressed chart is your current chart for your age. For example you were born with your natal chart. And as the planets moved shortly after your birth your chart changed. The progressed chart shows the position of the planets soon after your birth. There are 2 types of progressed charts that I know of.
