I tend to read the personal planets (Sun, Moon,Mercury, Venus and Mars) when in aspect to the slower moving planets- Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn and Jupiter.The square/opposition and conjunction are especially potent. Whilst the sextile and trine are easier- but also can pack quite a punch.
This shows my frame of mind.And I view the above as critical above all.
The sensitive points; Asc/Dc and IC/Mc points are for "events".
If the faster transiting planets i.e Mercury,Venus,Mars hit the sensitive points- something usually happens.And its usually quite fast. But not always.
If the slower transiting planets i.e Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus,Neptune and Pluto move in a certain house- things happen in small doses.ALL THE TIME.
But there are also days where there are inter-planetary transit aspects i.e transiting Mars sqaure trans Ura and opposing Pluto etc.
Once one of these planets makes an aspect to your personal placement. The results can also be fiery.
I know it can get quite confusing until you get the hang of it.So I would say that you should consider all.
My favorite is natal Mercury aspecting a planet.Doesn't matter whether its slow or fast because I can easily spot this easily.
Like at this very minute,natal Mercury conjuncts trans Mars/Pluto square trans Uranus.
And since it(Merc)is part of my natal T-square (in cadent houses),I tend to feel that one almost immediately.That's why i am writing this long response
And btw,horoscope readings I have NEVER found accurate.They are done for the masses.
Reading them for me is like expecting food that is cooked in large batches to taste like cuisine Aint gonna happen!!!
