I have never seen or felt any difference in transits - individually, or collectively as a whole either.

I haven't had very accurate experiences with them either! Although there is one or two horoscopes that have predicted some pretty big events.

I only follow one horoscope app regularly.

One reason why those two horoscopes could have been accurate is simply because of probability. Eventually, if you look at them everyday for a long period of time, it will come true, sometime.

As far as looking at it sometimes and it's a true prediction, that's simply a matter of an inevitable coincidence.

What? You are kinda going off-topic.

Its like astrology. There's a lot of factors that affect accuracy. Like what horoscope you read and what sign you go off of.

I usually have to combine my ascendant/moon and then I notice the accuracy goes up.

I believe in natal placements affecting us, but not transits affecting us.

It was accurate, or is usually accurate?

That is you acting upon your placements, learning and growing into a mature person.
For the better, or for the worse. It has a lot to do with non-astrological reasons, like environment, upbringing, experiences, introduced to new cultures, etc.

If it's not specific, than I don't even need to look at the transiting planets and say whether you are going to have a good day or a bad day... or whether you feel more confident today or this week, etc. I can make it up.
(I'm not saying Astrologers whom study transits in charts are making it up, just that transits are aren't affecting us)

I will get the nail on the head eventually, and a lot of people will believe it is happening if they read it, though, even if it is not, they could be tricking themselves, sometimes because they perhaps might want to hear that they will be confident with love or career this week or day. I can make it up.

You can disagree with me about transits, that's fine, but it's not like you're going to rewrite my experiences with them

---

It's really ironic that you're arguing against the validity of transits like most people argue about the validity of astrology.

Yeah, lol.

I know Astrology cannot be scientifically defined, but I know it is there. I see it in my observations within people's psychology and psyche.

LOL same can be said about astrology in general, but does that mean that astrology isn't accurate? Nope.

Free-will ain't that "free" .

---

You're right, it isn't that free.
But it leads you into a certain direction, and (for Ex) not all significant Aries influenced people will quickly shoot that gun if they had the chance without thinking, or significant influenced Virgos will criticize their boss. (even if they wanted too) It is up them with what they do with their personality they were given.
They can use it positively or negatively.

( I don’t wish to change your opinion about it, I just want to know the reason. )

Well, that's the big question, isn't it?

Why doesn't Natal planets come into play while we're developing in the womb, or why not a week before we're born?

But whatever reason why the Natal planets affect us only when we're born is because they're the natal planets and affect us, not the transits.

As I see the natal planets come into play, (personality) but not transits.

And that's my reason.
My reason as to which it cannot be explained why we're only affected by the natal.

But horoscope predictions being accurate can and can't, which is what I was saying earlier.

As I can make my own phony horoscope website without using transits. And I will predict things which usually happen on the day to day basis. Talking about feeling depressed today, feeling active today, etc. Talking about romance not working out this month for a sign, because romance is a common thing in which people have problems will all the time. Sometimes it works out well, sometimes not.
I will hit, and I will miss with my predictions.
