Transits

The current position of the planets — the “weather” that switches on gates and channels for everyone each day.

What transits are

Transits are the current positions of the Sun, the Moon and the planets on the wheel of 64 gates. Every day they activate certain gates, and sometimes whole channels — the same for everyone. They are like the weather: they don't change your nature, but they colour your mood and which themes are in the air.

How they affect a chart

When a transit completes a hanging gate in your chart, a channel or center is temporarily defined, and you may feel energy you don't usually have. The Sun passes through a gate in about six days, the Moon in a few hours. Knowing the transits is useful, but decisions are still made by strategy and authority.

What transits are in Human Design

A transit is the position of the Sun, the Moon and the planets at the current moment, read as gates of the bodygraph. If your chart is the climate you were born with, the transit is the weather that changes every day.

The Sun and Earth transit

The Sun provides about 70% of a transit's energy. It moves through a gate in roughly 5.7 days, so every few days the main theme in the world — the one everyone feels — changes.

The Moon transit

The Moon is the fastest part of the transit: it changes gates roughly every 10–12 hours and travels around the whole wheel in 28 days. It sets the mood and the driving force of the day.

Transit channels and centers

When a transit is laid over a chart, it can interact with it in three ways. That determines how personally you'll feel its energy.
