Mars is going to be hitting my North Node, then hitting my Mars, Pluto, and then Venus... in that order.

What I realized was kind of obvious, but with stelliums (or even just a general chart)... wouldn't the transit pattern for the faster moving planets be sort of an indicator about a persons life almost as much as the position of the planets in their chart?

I mean when Mars hits my North Node I go though:

Nodes/Mars

Mars with the nodes is the most dynamic for action of any other planet. Mars holds some similarities to Pluto in regards to new enterprise, except with Mars, the individual initiates the activities taking place. An example of the type of new ventures is seen in our recent exploration of the planet Mars itself. During the time that the US surface scanner, Sojourner, was on its way to Mars, Mars itself turned retrograde, spending several months within a conjunction to the transiting North Node. At the time that Mars again reached its original stationary retrograde position and formed a conjunction to the North Node of the Pathfinder enterprise chart, the scanner landed on Mars. The entry into new territories and the pioneering activity of Mars is quite evident in this historical event. The fact that it was Mars itself being explored is exemplary!

Mars with the nodes give the courage to follow through on new ideas, and striking out one one’s own, however there is more of a tendency to take risks. Caution should be applied to the types of risks taken since the combination also attracts law enforcement officers. The recent Mars/node conjunction timed numerous citations for speeding and reckless traffic violations for many individuals in whose chart the pair contacted the natal Mars. For several personal acquaintances, two or more citations were received within days of each other. With these contacts, tremendous energies come bursting forth in an effort to maintain the personal identity. Mars is also the most often noted link to the nodes at the times of accidents, due almost exclusively to sudden careless actions. Confrontations are very likely to surface with this connection and there are increased mechanical breakdowns and malfunctions, also notable in the recent Pathfinder exploration.

Shortly there after I move into a quick combo of this:

quote:

---

Mars conjunct Mars
You are at a peak of physical energy now. Your enthusiasm runs high, and so does your courage. It's a time of decisiveness, taking the initiative, handling problems directly and straightforwardly. You might feel the need to take charge or lead a project. On the negative side, you might be too pushy, cocky, or hasty now. Sexual energy might run high now. Doing something physical or beginning a new exercise program might be in order now.

---

quote:

---

Mars conjunct Pluto
You don't want to take no for an answer now. You are especially willful and decisive. The desire to rid yourself of waste or to eliminate what you feel are useless or trivial activities is strong, and you can be especially determined and possibly impatient in the process. You may enjoy a strong sense of purposefulness now. The desire to take control of something or of your life in general is stimulated, and you might get involved with power struggles if someone seems to be in your way. Your drive to succeed and excel, as well as to get your way, is stimulated now.

---

quote:

---

Mars conjunct Venus
Sexual and creative energy is high now. You are hungry for experience--you want to put into action many of your wants and desires. Although you might be a little too eager, and perhaps come across as insensitive, this could also be a time when you take the lead and make your move. You could be impulsive with your affections and/or your pocketbook during this transit. You have an opportunity now to take the initiative in order to achieve harmony and sexual fulfillment. Social relations are impassioned, and perhaps demanding or extreme. Your romantic impulses may be more forceful and pressing. Some level of competition is present in your interactions with others.

This seems kind of important. Are there sites or books I can check out that talks more about this specific subject? (ie transit patterns)

Mars and Uranus have a rash relationship.
In 1994, there were two deaths of prominent racers in the same Formula One Championship. On that day, Transit Mars was conjunct F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone's Natal Uranus exact.

FYI, Robert Hand's book on Transits is the all time classic.

Urgently find out whether Transit Mars is also going to square Natal Uranus at any point. The combination looks strong enough to indicate rashness or even accidents as a result of rashness. Mars conjunct Mars is also notorious for cuts and bruises.

The next aspect Mars makes to Uranus is in August, a conjunction.

On my way home from work I got to thinking...

My Sun/Saturn are conjunct. I wonder if that's part of the reason why I become depressed so often, not because they're conjunct, but because Saturn sits on the left hand side of that conjunction. Meaning any transits I experience (unless they go retrograde) hit my Sun first then they hit my Saturn.

I wonder how it plays out for people with a Sun/Saturn conjunction with their Saturn on the right side of the Sun.

Oh, and iQ, that's when I'm taking off on my trip... that's why I was checking the transits. At the start of that lovely combo. <.< Leaving my home town for the first time to go live homeless on the road... yeah, I think that covers rashness.

Tried to do a search to find out about the books. They seem to explain transits and what they mean when they cross different aspects of a persons chart...

But that's not exactly what I'm talking about. I'm more interested in, um, how the order of planets transiting aspects of a persons chart has an effect.

Do they touch on that?

I gave an example in my second post sort of, like, how is the effect of the Moon transiting the Sun (conjunct) then shortly there after transiting Saturn (conjunct) different than the Moon transiting Saturn (conjunct) then shortly there after transiting the Sun.

I mean, you can probably guess at the information by applying the two different explanations of the Moon transit... but it seems like something should exist already to combine that kind of information.
