However let's say the sig goes direct in like a month...then the aspect would be applying. So is it wise to wait and cast another chart when the sig goes direct?Would would you consider the upcoming applying aspect? Or does the retrograde planet and it's condition pretty much indicate the outcome?

For example. If Mars and Venus are not aspecting for another 3 deg, but will aspect in a couple days before moon leaves the sign, even though the aspect will not be perfect, I'd be comfortable saying the moon is late and that it will come. I rarely see things like that, so I rarely use real time transits.

I would not cast another chart for the same question just because the planet went direct. If the moon just entered the sign, that's an indication the planet stationing direct will have impact on the question. If the ascendant is a lil early, that's another indication. If the planet is retro, moon has one foot out the door and the ascendant is tardy, the planet station direct won't matter to me unless the planet is MUCH faster than the direct planet and can act fast enough to make change. A slow-moving planet in retrograde? If moon is one of the main sigs, forget it
