So I was wondering how that will show on our on transits. What should I be looking for? Transiting planets in houses? Specific travelling aspects?

How do you predict travel?

Mars transiting the 9th house.

Current "energies" and activities focused on travel, higher education, and/or religion.

Jupiter, natural ruler of travel and the 9th house....in the natal 3rd of trips and siblings. Soon being aspected by conjunction from transiting Jupiter which brings opportunities.

Uranus, ruler of the sudden and "new", separating from a square (strong activation) to Mercury (natural ruler of Trips, again), your house ruler of long distance trips, in Sagittarius (another indicator of journeys).

There's quite a bit of activation of the "travel" houses going on, I mean...I guess that it could be your trip is how the energy manifested

Sun and Uranus transiting the 5th = Spur of the moment vacation.

Uranus is pretty active, it rules airplanes. Mercury-Uranus ...travel by plane...Jupiter- long distance/another country...Mars = pulls the trigger...

If it's frequent/regular, then it might not show.. or it will, but probably as a long-lasting transit.

Guys, watch Uranus. I did my family's and my friends' charts (their transits)and most of the time when something big happened in their life, be it change of job or residence, Uranus was involved every time. I used astro.com, just went back in time. I remember asking my mum and dad what exactly happened in year X and month X (Uranus aspects to personal planets, usually conjunction and opposition)and they both travelled.

And now I told my friend that I think she will leave her job in May/June (transiting Uranus conjunct Moon). Her transits also show that she will travel (Uranus opposite her Mars)but I decided not to tell her because I couldn't imagine why would she possibly want to travel now.. And, guess what?? She IS planning to leave the job in May because she wants to study personal training and for that she WILL travel to Spain (that's where they offer the course she's interested in) :)

So if you travel for the holidays every year would you consider that to be a matter of a transit?

Honestly, AG. I don't think so. I think for something like that, if you travel every year regardless of special circumstance (just deciding to get up and go somewhere out of the blue one day, or getting the opportunity to do so), it'll probably be more likely shown in the natal chart or progressions. If shown at all

I don't believe astrology dictates every aspect of our lives. I believe that that while it's accurate, if my transits says it's a great time for a vacation or a trip, and I don't have the financial means for it, the only long trip I'll be taking is to work.

Buuut to answer your question;

Like I said...I think something like that (yearly travel) could be indicated in the natal through Mercury/Jupiter/3rd/9th/Sagittarius connections and activations. I mentioned progression because obviously they last longer, and an aspect may form that will influence the native to get up and go somewhere.

Of course, transits, natal, solar arcs, returns, planets, progressions aside, if you wanted to go somewhere...you certainly don't have to wait for Jupiter to say so :-)

But it is cool to look sometimes to see just where astrology is "fitting" into your life and how accurate it is.
