I am a double capricorn. Even though, I have sun/asc same, the chart shows the house placements different than the horoscopes.

examp:
Neptune is transiting Capricorn's 2nd house and in 2012, will move to Capricorn's 3rd house.

However, even though my ascen is capricorn as well, when I do transit chart on astro.com, it shows Neptune still in 2nd house - year 2020 !

Same with Uranus. It is supposed to be Capricorn's 4th house. Astro chart shows Uranus in 3rd house - year 2015

Same with Saturn... It's supposed to be Capricorn's 10th house - Astro chart shows
Saturn in 9th house

Even Mars.. it's supposed to be in Cap's 9th house, astro chart tells it is in my 8th...

The house placements of outer planets on my chart matches Aquarius on sun sign / house placement predictions of astrologers.

Sis, for what is worth, I responded to you this morning but couldn't post my response.
It was a long-winded one but the gist is: the size of the houses varies in Placidus so even counting from the ascendant won't do the trick for some of us.

Transits
I use--- 1° approaching, 1° exact and 1° departing. If you click on the link listed below for the online ephemeris it will list all planets at any given time. Learning astrology is like learning a new ‘language’ and obviously the more effort you put into something the more your knowledge and understanding will increase. All transits act as ‘background’ influences through a house, until it makes a mathematical aspect to a planet inside or an Angle.

For 'timings' I would look to the retrograde hit as the most important trigger, then look to see what the quicker planets are doing especially mars & mercury --

astro.com has fee six month transit forecast plus when you get into Extended chart selection, look at the three tabs after calculating a chart under ‘method’ default is circular wheels (on left), middle is special charts and in their you get graphic ephemeris 1yr (or 5years) with natal = transits for 1yr and lots more.
http://cafeastrology.com/transits.html http://cafeastrology.com/transits_2.html http://www.khaldea.com/ephemcenter.shtml http://www.bobmarksastrologer.com/transits18.0.htm http://www.astro.com/faq/fq_fh_transits_e.htm http://www.astro.com/astrology/in_transits_e.htm http://www.astro.com/swisseph/ae/2000/ae_2009.pdf http://www.astrologyweekly.com/learn-astrology/astrology-glyphs.php http://www.dkfoundation.co.uk/dkfoundation/BookTransitsAndProgressions.htm

Now it's more important to focus on transits from Jupiter to Pluto (poss mars as this is the ignition key)and these planets when aspecting something in your natal chart 'set off' the difficult or nice 'aspects - potential - problems' that your chart expresses. By that I mean if a benefic planet like Jupiter hits/touches/transits your venus, mars or uranus these could be experienced very pleasantly. BUT if your natal venus is afflicted, or badly aspected say conj saturn then jupiter will not has such a good effect. It all depends on how the natal planet is 'aspected'

For me I would say external 'events' must be seen by transits, progressions or Solar arcs to Angles ie: Asc/Desc & MC/IC most other times these events are 'internal, psychological matters as in between the ears'

If this is a correct method, then how can anyone base horoscopes to sun signs ? YES

WHAT HOUSE SYSTEM ARE YOU USING?? THE DEFAULT ON ASTRO IS PLACIDUS, AND I USE EQUAL HOUSE SYSTEM AND CERTAIN PLANETS WILL MOVE FROM ONE HOUSE TO ANOTHER...
Same with Uranus. It is supposed to be Capricorn's 4th house. Astro chart shows Uranus in 3rd house - year 2015

Same with Saturn... It's supposed to be Capricorn's 10th house - Astro chart shows
Saturn in 9th house

Even Mars.. it's supposed to be in Cap's 9th house, astro chart tells it is in my 8th...

The house placements of outer planets on my chart matches Aquarius on sun sign / house placement predictions of astrologers.

Confused.

Don't bother reading newspapers or magazines as they are not proper astrologers, what they do is place everyone's sun sign conj Asc and read where the current transits are in those houses and give a reading....

something else you should consider is the *house system*

I use Equal House system (where each cusp is same as Ascendant) and am a modern astrologer. Lots of newcomers come into Astrology/forums and get a free chart from astro and the default ‘house system’ used is Placidus and think that’s just the norm and all there is……..BUT that is just the tip of the iceberg. You can change the default on astro.com in Extended Chart selection to Equal house and a few others if you wish to experiment…..

Within the mainstream are placidus/equal houses (the default on astro is placidus) only difference being some planets may move from one house to another thereby altering it's interpretation and it's 'only' with research will you find which /planets 'fit you' in which houses. So my advice, do two charts, research any planets that move houses and see which you identity with - simple
