Uh, so we're talking about the dynamic approach to understanding transits. Easy and soft transits, hard, stressful transits. Um, what uh, those look like, what the differences are between those. So, um, let's first start by talking about the grouping of difficult, stressful transits, and then I will talk about the grouping of what we consider to be easy, or less stressful, or soft transits. And then we'll talk about the dynamic approach to understanding those. Should be a pretty easy lesson today.
So the hard transits are going to be Sun Saturn, Sun Uranus, Sun Neptune, Moon Mars, Moon Saturn, Moon Uranus. And as I'm going down this list, keep in mind that we can have sextiles and trines. We can have easy transits within these hard groupings of planets. What I'm talking about is the difficult combinations where particularly either the conjunction or the square or the opposition is going to be a stressful time. But even when we have difficult combinations of planets, we can have a sextile or trine or conjunction, uh, transits between those that are going to be relatively easy or stress-free. But I'm talking about the difficult combinations when I'm going down this list.
So Sun Saturn, Sun Uranus, Sun Neptune, Moon Mars, Moon Saturn, Moon Uranus, Moon Neptune, Moon Pluto, uh, Mercury Neptune, Venus Neptune. The hard aspects in particular: Mars Saturn transits, Mars Uranus transits, Mars Neptune transits, Mars Pluto transits, Jupiter Saturn transits, Saturn Uranus transit, Saturn Neptune, Saturn Pluto, Uranus Neptune. And I would say the inner planets transiting in aspect to Chiron or Chiron transiting to inner planets.
So when we have these difficult combinations of planets and we have the difficult transits that are associated with them, often the conjunction, the square, sometimes the in conjunction. I'm not going to be talking about the in conjunction a lot, um, but I will touch on it here and there when it is important or when you have actual factual information about those types of transits. But, um, yeah, the square, the opposition, often the conjunction, depending on the pair, those can be the stressful, the stressful times that we deal with.
So the difficult transits are where we grow. The difficult transits are where we do something. It's where we adjust. It's where things fall apart. Uh, we replan, we regroup. The difficult transits cause action. They are dynamic. They are spurring us towards something. So we flex our muscles during the difficult transits, and we rest during the easy transits. Or we grow during the difficult transits, and we sleep or rest during the easy transits. We have stress during the hard transits. We have ease during the easy transits. So it's a yin and yang kind of thing where we have some amount of pressure, rest, pressure, rest.
And so when we have those easy transits, it's always good to keep in mind that they are points of preparation for the next difficult transit. That they are not something where we should, uh, sit on our laurels or just, uh, spend time basking in the glory of the good transit. We have to keep in mind that it's our breathing point.
So look at it like hiking. Where we are, oh, let's, let's say we're doing something super adventurous and we're hiking up to Machu Picchu. And we're going up the Stairs of Death. Have you ever seen those? Look it up. It will scare the crap out of you. We're going up the Stairs of Death, and we are ascending to this amazing, beautiful place. But it takes work to get there. It takes muscle and it takes energy. And some of it is just about vertical, and it takes grit, and you've got to be brave. So we go through these periods of climbing and exerting, and then we get to the plateau. We get to where, oh, you know what? I'm not having to work so hard. And then, you know, we get our breath back. We get a snack out. We have conversation.
But we want to keep in mind that we are preparing for the next exertion. We're preparing for the next uphill climb. And we often forget that during those easy transits, that this is our breather. But this is not how it will be forever. And we can often forget during our hard transits that this is my test, but it's not going to be like this forever. So there's an in and out to give and a take, the yin and the yang, when it comes to easy and soft transits. And, um, that's why they are transits. They're transitory. They don't last forever, thank God. Because if we had just the easy transit stay and last forever, we would never get anything done. Um, our character would atrophy. But, uh, we need those times where we have those breathers and things are just kind of a given, and we don't have to work so hard because, well, otherwise we get all worn out.
So let's look at the easy transits. So the easy transits don't require anything of us. We can, um, choose to use those periods, those rest periods, those easy transits as preparation times. If we're being conscious, if we're understanding the entire cycle, then we can use those easy transits as a springboard ahead. Kind of like when you're walking with the group of hikers, and the other people really aren't thinking ahead about what's coming up, but you've looked at the map. You understand what is required of you during this next sprint, and you are changing your socks. You're stopping to fill up your water bottle so it's completely full. You are making sure that you've had a good amount of, of snacks so you are charged. So you are expending a certain amount of energy, but it's not difficult energy. It's, it's not like we're doing difficult tasks, and it's, it's energy in service to saving ourselves energy down the road, making life easier on ourselves. So that's the activity that we can choose to engage in if we're being really conscious about handling transits and living our life to the really, the most mindful potential that we can.
So the easy transits, the easy combinations, the Sun and Moon are usually pretty easy. Uh, Sun Mercury, Sun Venus, uh, Sun, yeah, I, I think Sun Jupiter are usually pretty good. Even though we can sometimes deal with excess, Sun Jupiter transits are usually positive. I'll say Venus Mars are positive, Venus Jupiter very positive, Mars Jupiter very positive. The list is much shorter, obviously, than the list of the hard combinations. Um, it's about a third as long as the list of hard combinations. But we do have, um, some transits that are typically friendly with each other all the time. So no matter what the aspect is, no matter if it's a trine or a sextile or square or opposition, we're gonna get, uh, good things out of it, or a certain amount of good things out of it. So I'll make sure to send this out to email so everybody has this list here so we can, um, just have a heads up when it comes to which are the combinations that we want to watch out for, which are the combinations that we can just kind of figure that's our float time, and we can make necessary preparations if we choose to during that time.
Yes, Sun Pluto is hard, stuff Katie, in most aspects, even the sextile and the trine. Um, hard in the sense that there will be changes, but usually those changes aren't going to be extremely disruptive. But any kind of change, humans tend to resist at least a little bit. Um, but yeah, Sun Pluto's, uh, typically a challenge. Neptune Pluto, um, do I have that on my list? I don't think I do. No, there aren't a lot of Neptune Pluto aspects that we will get in our lifetime, um, simply because how slow both of those move. So those are very subtle transits and long-term transits. So I, I would say that it depends on the aspect that it could be something that, uh, that that could be difficult. Uh, so with the Neptune opposite Pluto at the moment. Hmm. I think we had another comment there. Let me see. So if one of them is the chart ruler, it will be more heavily felt. That's usually the case. If something's a chart ruler or whatever boss it is of whatever area of life, whatever house it rules, then that will be the main area of life that's going to be the focus as it's, uh, transiting or being transited. Um, but yeah, I would say Neptune Pluto, that can actually bring us to, uh, spiritual awakenings or a meltdown in our, our, our beliefs. That could be a very nihilistic kind of process that we go to. Most aspects from Neptune to Pluto, we will pierce the veil in myriad ways. Sometimes that can be very upsetting.
Okay, so let's talk about the dynamic approach to transits. So, uh, in our other lessons and, um, my other courses that most of you have dropped into at least here and there, I've talked a lot about the cycle of the, of, um, the aspects, the cycle of the seed, where we go from conjunction to square to opposition to square and back to conjunction. So that is the dynamic aspect. The dynamic approach to understanding aspects is understanding aspects as part of an entire cycle. So now that we've talked about the easy combinations and the hard combinations, let's spend a little bit of time talking about the, uh, transits as they go around the total cycle.
We begin with the conjunction. It's the beginning of a new cycle, and it's going to be the transiting planet that is acting on the transited planet. We, we need to always keep that in mind when we're talking about transits. So in a conjunction, the planet that's moving is acting on the planet that is stationary in our chart. So if it's a Pluto conjunct to the Sun, it will be Pluto that is acting on our natal Sun. If it is Venus conjunct to our Neptune, it will be Venus that is working on our Neptune. So the transiting planet is working on the transited planet, and we have the beginning of the new cycle when we have a conjunction. So some conjunctions are easy, some are not. It depends on the combination of planets. And as we go through all of the descriptions of the transits, we're going to talk about which are the easy and difficult conjunctions, um, just as a matter of course. So these are energetic times because we have the bursting forth of a new beginning, a new life, a new way, a new approach, a new cycle. So these are, these are times when we feel that we have a new chance, that there's a new day, or that there's a new, uh, a new plan that we're acting on when we have conjunctions.
Then we look at the separating sextile. This is going to be the next major aspect that we talk about when we are describing transits. This is the next major aspect that we look at when we are understanding transits. We generally don't look at or analyze the very, very, very minor transit aspects like the dacile or the vigintile or the, the 24 degree quindecile. We are mainly going to be looking at the conjunction, the sextile, the square, the trine, the opposition.
So looking at that separating sextile, the transiting planet is working on the transited planet, and we see some success because we've had the, uh, the bursting forth of the conjunction. And oftentimes that was a difficult thing, sometimes not, depending on the combination. But now we have a chance to float or rest or get our breath with the separating sextile. But it does require some amount of analysis. Sextiles are there. There are easy aspects, but they do ask a little bit of us in order to get the good stuff. So it's like, um, enjoying your work, where, yeah, you're putting out some effort, but you're putting your effort into what you enjoy doing anyway. So we have to look at it that way, that it's, we don't completely rest, but we're not expending energy in ways that is distasteful to us. So there is some amount of expansion or expansion of energy. Uh, so we have a lot of success when we have any aspects, any planets that are transiting in a separating sextile aspect, and we are preparing for the square. We're preparing for the big climb. So things are going well enough not to attract too much of our attention. When we are looking at planets that are transiting in a separating sextile aspect, we really don't have to do anything. We can, though. That's when we're a good hiker. We're thinking ahead. We're like, I'm gonna make sure I've got my trail mix in hand, and I've got my juices all hooked up, and everything is ready for me, and I am gonna have a comfortable, productive hike. So we are getting ready for the big push.
So then we have the transiting opening square. So the transiting planet is working on the transited planet in the opening square. So we have crisis involving past and future, often involving what we may be emotionally attached to, and having to realign ourselves, update our coping mechanisms, our plans. Um, there is a crisis involving where we've come from and how we've developed thus far, and where we want to be going, and what we want to get out of ourselves and out of our lives. And at the corner of that is what I've always done versus what I want to be doing, and the tension that is, uh, involved in pulling us back to the past, and then our will pulling us into the future. So we have crisis at the opening square. So what began at the conjunction is tested. It's, um, really put through the works so we can see what we're made of, and how our beginning is going. How is what we've started working for us? So scrutiny happens when we have the square. We're building a new structure at this point, or we are adjusting the structure we are still working on that was began at the conjunction. Sometimes we find that, no, I'm going to scrap it. It's, it's not working for me, and we start again at the square. Because we always have that option to start again at the conjunction, the square, the opposition, the square. We always have that opportunity to scrap it all and begin again, or to build on what has been working and what is successful and what we want to keep going, or to build on what is not working and what has not been successful, but we don't want to change it because we don't want to expend the energy. It depends on how we're choosing. Are we continuing to work on something that's not working? Because at every difficult transit or difficult aspect, we are going to have that put to the test, and it's going to be that much harder to justify continuing to work on and continue working on it. So we have the, um, possible building of something new, or the possible building on what we've been working on that we began at the conjunction where we have the square. So we're evaluating how our energy is being wasted. Do we need to adjust our blueprint or our plan? There, evaluating our efforts. So changes are going to be reflected in events, changes within us, and often the way that we're responding to the world around us is inspiring internal changes. So we're working with the world, the world is working with us.
Now we look at the separating trine. So this is a very easy time. Uh, we often have easy success. It's a lack of stress. Now, we don't receive like huge rewards at the trine. It's usually more trine aspects, uh, trine transits are where we just have a lack of conflict, rather than the red carpet being rolled out for us. That actually tends to happen at the opposition, which we are preparing for at the trine. So you have to look at it like our hike analogy, right? We're hiking to Machu Picchu. So we've started out at the conjunction, and we're on pretty flat ground, but we have to walk quite a ways. I mean, there is some assertion of energy, and there's some amount of an incline. Then we get to the separating sextile, level ground. Now we can just walk and chat. Grass isn't too long, trails clearly marked. This is our chance to stop and drink and have conversation and have our snack. Then we get to the opening square. Oh my god, it's a steep incline, and it goes up a long way, and we have to really assert ourselves. Then we get to the separating trine, and it's flat again for a long time, and it's wide open. We get to walk with our friends. We get to catch our breath. In fact, it's so easy the terrain that we have, even forgotten how much energy we've extended so far. It's, it's just so easy, and we're not walking very fast. It's very leisurely. We're taking our time, and we are preparing for the Stairs of Death. Look it up. It is crazy. So we are hanging off the side of the mountain here as we're going up towards the opposition, and we are really having to assert all of our energy to stay on track, to watch our footing, to make sure that we don't tumble down 250,000 feet. So we are having to watch ourselves when we are climbing up towards that opposition.
And the aspects, the transits, the, the aspect of the opposition, the transits that we associate with oppositions are where we have maximum view. So this is where we've worked hard, we've climbed those Stairs of Death, and we now can look over the entire valley, the entire mountainside. It was worth it because it is breathtaking. But there's another way that oppositions can happen. We can be so afraid to do our climbing that we can keep our head down, not take in any of the scenery, get to the top, and we just don't, we haven't learned anything because we've pretty much just blotted the entire thing out. Or sometimes we give up and we climb back down. We don't even get where we're going because we can't handle the stress. So we don't get the lesson sometimes when we have oppositional transits. And so we either experience the full consequence of our journey, and that can be very, very good because consequences can be very, very good. We experience the full consequence of our journey. I mean, we're at the peak at this point, we're at the top of the hike, and this is where we decide if we want to go on. So those oppositional transits are those peaks in our life where we decide, I want to continue to build on what it is that I've been working on. So we either decide, I'm going to continue to go on this hike, and I'm going to enter into that amazing valley down below, or we can say, you know what, I think I've seen enough. I've expended enough energy. I think I want to go in a different direction. I'm not sure I'm really interested in completing the journey after all. I think I got everything out of this that I wanted to get out of this, and maybe return. We go in a different direction and find something else cool to explore. So we have that turning point when we have transits that are happening in opposition. And again, it's always the transiting planet that's working on the transited planet.
So now we come to the approaching trine. So this is actually similar to the separating sextile because the separating sextile, remember that was when we started out from the conjunction fairly flat, somewhat challenging, somewhat of an incline, and then we came to that point of ease, plateaued. That's the separating, um, sextile. That's the same kind of ease we're coming to after the opposition because they're like two reflective hemispheres here of action. So after the opposition, where we come to the top, we're like, you know what, I think I've seen enough. I'll go a different direction. Or, you know what, I think I'm going to go on. I really do want to finish this journey. There's meaning in this for me. So let's say we continue the journey. Let's just say for the sake of teaching the lesson that we continue on to the on to the rest of the hike because we want to get to the really neat old buildings and the relics and the structures down below. So during the separating trine, sorry, approaching trine, which is similar to the separating sextile, we are in a place where we're getting to rest. We have a certain amount of ease, but yet we know that we have to prepare for the next big thing. Because remember, at the separating sextile, this is where we were getting ready for the square, we were getting ready for the big push. And now after the opposition, when we have planets that are transiting in an approaching trine, we have to be preparing. We have to be positioning ourselves for that big push at the coming square because that's next.
The approaching square. So we are experiencing good things, very little energy expenditure at approaching trines. Any planets that are in approaching trine transits. Now when we come to the approaching square, we have another crisis between past and future, and it's the transiting planet that's working on the transited planet. So we have to adapt to a new pattern, a new cycle. We have to redirect. It's another test of what it is that we've been working on, what it is we've been learning, what it is we've been growing towards, what it is we've been building. So our big tests are at squares and oppositions, and we see more results at oppositions. But results come both at square and opposition transits. We don't tend to see results when we have the sextile and the trines, even the conjunctions sometimes. Because we aren't dealing with, uh, karmic consequences. We are really noticing that there's any disturbance in our lives when we have those sextile or those trines. So we want to make sure that we're using the approaching trine to prepare for the approaching square because we are preparing for the new cycle at the conjunction. When we're dealing with the approaching square, so we're letting go of what we've built. It's a crisis in building something new. At the separating square, and it's a crisis in letting go of what we've been working on and perhaps redirect ourselves or add to what we've been working on. But we have to adjust what it is that we feel we're already attached to. So we're really forming a new attachment at the separating square and letting go of what we're attached to at the approaching square.
So now we come to the last one, the approaching sextile. So this is similar to the separating trine on the other end, where we have a certain amount of, uh, cruising. He's not much is going to be noticed during these times because nothing is perturbed, nothing is disturbed. So we are getting ready for the, um, uh, conjunction. We're getting ready for the, the next cycle. And so it isn't something where we should always just be completely complacent because this is where we are super, super close to our journey, the end of our journey, approaching those cool old relic buildings that we have been walking towards for miles and up steep inclines and through precarious, dangerous situations. And this is the end of our adventure. So the beginning of the new adventure is where we reach when we reach the destination. Because as we reach that destination, that's the closing of the old hike, that's the ending of the old journey. But at that same time, it's the beginning of a new one. So as the one door closes, the other one opens simultaneously.
So as we are going through all of the different descriptions of the transits over the coming months, this is a general blueprint. This lesson for understanding what any conjunction, what any opening or closing sextile means, what any opening or closing trine means, because they all have the same cadence to them. There's the same rhythm when it comes to the entire cycle. So it doesn't matter what the combination of planets are. And, um, when we're looking at the planets that are really only having good, easy relationships, we don't really have to spend time, uh, reminding ourselves, oh, I need to prepare for the next thing, or I need to get my ducks in order because I have a square or an opposition. Because the squares and the oppositions and the stressful aspects generally don't bring difficult things. Sometimes it just can be too much of a good thing. You're dealing with gluttony or excess, or, you know, things that generally we're not going to complain about having those types of problems. But, but they can be minor problems within themselves. So we don't have to spend a lot of time putting the, the, uh, stressful or the easy aspects onto our calendar when we're talking about planets that pretty much only have a positive relationship anyway. Slice it. But we do want to look at the, the easy and the difficult times when it comes to the hard planetary combinations because we do want to be aware when we have something stressful coming up, and we want to be positioned for that as best we can be so we can have the best, most mindful hike possible and get to where we're going with the least amount of exertion, getting lost, um, and, uh, just have the kind of successful life that we're looking for.
So we can use transits as a way to plan our life to where we are understanding that when we have something difficult or stressful or prolonged coming up, we can use the time before or after to prepare. Such as, I know that I have a difficult, uh, Pluto square coming up to my Moon in the next couple of years coming up here. So given that, I know that I'm using this time before that stressful period arrives to make sure that I'm in the home that I want to be in, my debts are all paid for, I am in a position where I can handle added stress because I have, I've positioned myself well, I've prepared. So it's kind of like, um, if you know that you are going to say, have the flu between the years 2022 and 2024. Say we're having a bad Pluto transit. Well, before that flu gets here, you can make sure that your home, you have ample water, you have snacks by your bed if you need them, there's somebody there to take care of you and to clean up your barf buckets. We can position ourselves to where we know the inevitable, inevitable is going to come, but we are prepared. And that doesn't always take the, you know, the sting out of the changes, but it does put us in a position where we can meet those changes, and we can, we can be mentally and emotionally prepared to where we aren't knocked off our, you know, our socks aren't knocked off by things. Because often it's when we, we're not looking, we're not paying attention, we feel blindsided. That's those can be the most upsetting types of transits that we can have.
So I think that it's, it's always good to understand the dynamic approach to transits because it helps us to position ourselves as best we can to handle what is inevitably going to occur. Those periods of stress and growth, which we need, because if we didn't have those stressful transits, if we weren't pushed in those new directions, very few of us would ever grow or change or accomplish anything. We would just, uh, sort of exist in our ease. So we need these pushes in the right direction, uh, because as humans, we simply do not change or grow or address issues unless there's pain involved, or unless we want something, there's some kind of frustration or friction involved. This is part of our nature. So we look at it as breathing in and breathing out when we're looking at the dynamic approach to transits.
Let me see if we have any questions here that I have missed. Yes, uh, Tanya, the approaching all trines are going to be good and easy, even for hard planet combos. Do we have any other questions? I had a question. Yep. Sorry, I always have questions. Um, I was wondering, so to kind of go off of like what you said in preparing, how would we know? Would we have to look at like the relationship between the planets in our natal chart to kind of tell us what might come up? Like, how would you know to prepare for? We look at what is the planet that's going to be transited. So let's use my example. So it's going to be my Moon, because my Moon is in Libra, and we have Pluto right now in Capricorn. So I know that at a certain point when Pluto gets to a certain degree that it's going to be an orb of my Moon, and I will have a square. So I look at, um, what does that transit mean? What does it bring? What kinds of stress will it, uh, will it cause? So we want to look at what is the nature of the natal planet, what is the nature of the transiting planet, and what is the transiting planet going to do to the natal planet. Okay. So there, if they're in aspect at all in our natal chart, it wouldn't like, would that have anything to do with it? Like, already has like a Moon Pluto aspect? Is that gonna be part of what's like changing and stuff? That is, yes, that's gonna add more, uh, to the story. Because if we have somebody that say has a Moon Pluto aspect in their charts, it's a stressful aspect. Say, say they have a Moon, yeah, Moon Pluto difficult aspect, some of some kind, um, and then the Moon makes a difficult aspect, I'm sorry, Pluto makes a difficult aspect to the Moon, it's going to bring up all those natal issues of trust, abandonment, [Music] darkness, lack of security. So it is going to be something that is particularly stressful for that person, where maybe somebody who doesn't have an aspect from their Moon to Pluto natally wouldn't experience that transit as difficult. So yeah, if you already have things going on in your natal chart, transits are going to, um, highlight or turn on those difficult aspect patterns that are already there in your natal chart. Yeah. Uh, let's see. I think we had a question from Roxanne. Let me see. Uh, Uranus conjunction. That I, that probably wouldn't be one of the most difficult transits to undergo. But you would have to look at what kind of aspects is Chiron making to personal planets. Because if Chiron is making difficult aspects to personal planets, a conjunction from Uranus to Chiron is definitely going to bring all of that natal activity up. So that could be a total blowing up of the typical ways that one deals with their pain and suffering, and it just a completely new approach to all of that, and it would not be conventional with the Uranus involved. Katie, did you have a question? Um, if, um, I'm sorry, I saw that Roxanne said also, she said something else. I don't know if, let me see if I can pick that up. One second here. Oh, but a Moon transit to Chiron is going to be very, very temporary. That's only going to last really a matter of hours. So I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about that one, Roxanne. But a transit from Chiron to the Moon would be something that you would definitely want to take notice of because that would be more of a long-term transit. Katie, um, yeah, I was wondering about the, uh, the closing square. Um, I might just not have understood this well, but the, uh, like when you get to that point, and it, it seems like you're talking about you can either, is it, is it similar in some way to the opening square? Like, I, I know it's the nature of Capricorn, so I'm thinking about it in terms of like achievement. Like, is that kind of a, is it where you like, you see, okay, everything that I've, I've spent so long making all this stuff, and if it's really bad, like if it's something you're not happy with, that's when you have that like Capricorn depression. But if it's good, it's something you feel good about? Yes, yes. We either feel like it's part of our, our social success and what we really want to be known for, and we've arrived, or we're like, oh my god, why did I put all of my energy into this? Or this is a basket I didn't want to have any of my eggs in, turns out. So it is either that point of, um, finding, yeah, this is really working. I do have to work on it a little bit more to get it completely right, but, yeah, this, this is working for me. So we do either continue something that we're working on, or, yeah, at that Capricorn square, the 270 degree square, the, the closing square, we can just trash it all. So yeah, there's a, there's a complete, uh, leaving of things behind when people make that decision, that square decision to go from past into the future to do something different and to, uh, start building in a different kind of life based more, more on what they want. So it's our willpower that we are learning to give deference to, not what we've already invested ourselves in. So it, it's really that point of, do I want this, or am I keeping up with this because I've already put so much into it? I mean, do I really want this? And sometimes we discover that maybe we don't. And so we learned to cut our losses at that particular square. Does that make more sense? Yeah, I think so. It's, um, I feel like I cut you off at the beginning when you're gonna explain it more, but, uh, yeah, I think that makes more sense to me. It's just not as intuitive as the Cancer square, but I get it. Well, as we go through the different descriptions, I'm sure that we'll have many opportunities to talk about the differences between the opening and closing squares, specifically when it comes to the transits. Okay, thank you. Yeah, we'll cover it all. Any other questions? Hmm, no. Okay, great. Oh, yeah, Kate, I was gonna say something. I'm just gonna, gonna say something about something I noticed. And I, I kind of, maybe I didn't 100 catch everything you said about the dynamic approach, but, um, I noticed that when a planet is coming up to a transit, like, for example, recently I had, um, Mars approaching my MC, and my MC is like 11 degrees in Scorpio, and Uranus is sort of like what it's about, maybe 13 or 12. So I thought, oh, Uranus is in Taurus, there's going to be an opposition, which is really going to be, um, you know, my IC and my MC, and then Mars is going to come and activate that. And I was like, oh, I better get my seatbelt on here. I don't know what's going to happen. But actually, it was quite mild. But what I noticed is there's a kind of an energy that comes as a planet approaches, as you, if that's what you were talking about, the dynamic approach. So before it actually makes the actual conjunction, you know, Mars to the MC, just, it's almost like building an energy, you know, it builds an energy. And sometimes it, uh, the something will happen as it's approaching the conjunction before it actually reaches the conjunction, and then it kind of eases off at the conjunction or as it's moving away. That's just my, um, perception. Yes, yeah, that is how it works. Yes, it's the building of the crescendo. So the peak is when we reach that exactitude, and that can often signify an event, like a culminating, uh, experience, or, you know, something that's reflective of what has been building. So, uh, something can even materialize at that point that we have an exact aspect. But yes, it is a building thing that that happens. And as planets are approaching, the energy is increasing. That's always the rule. And then after they've made the exact aspect, they start to separate, move away, the energy is decreasing. That's why it becomes easy, turns into easy aspect at that point. And well, well, all that happened to me was I got offered, basically, I've been offered to run a sort of a more, what would you say, demanding, high-level theater course in my school. So that's what Mars to the MC. But then it's, but it's, um, it also, I think my MC is a broad, it's a wide sextile the Ascendant, but anyway, I thought it was going to be a bit rough, but actually it was very, it was very mild and quite actually pleasant. So yeah, sometimes, sometimes, yeah, Uranus Mars, Uranus aspects can be pretty good. They can be freeing, particularly the conjunction, that can be very, very freeing. So Mars Uranus combination must work for you. It sounds like you don't have a problem with accepting those kinds of unplanned for opportunities that can come with those kinds of transits. Well, I have, I have Uranus square Mars, square Uranus natally. So I'm probably used to the unexpected. You've learned to work with that one. Nice. Uh, we have any other questions or comments? Can I ask another question? Sure. I was wondering, um, is because I know when you talk about like composite charts and you have like your escape valves, could that kind of also apply to transits? Like where, like if we look at like a transit report altogether, could we kind of look at other easier transits that could kind of, yeah, that's usually happening. That's usually happening, especially over the course of a long-term difficult transit. We will have other easy transits come in during that course of time and have little breathers or little opportunities or some stress reliever levers. So you look at it like, um, uh, a bass note. Like if somebody, you know, strums, you know, strums one string, a bass of on say, a bass guitar, and it just continues to reverberate and reverberate and reverberate and reverberate. But while that reverberating sound is going on, you can play other small, less consequential notes. So that's the other transits that come through. So although there is this general feeling or this general tone of a long-term difficult transit, or even a medium-term difficult transit, we can also have happy notes that happen within that same frame of time. So yeah, life will be a mix of things. We'll have stressful transits and we'll have some good things going on at the same time. Sometimes it's all good things going on, and maybe we'll just have one minor difficult thing going on. But yeah, there's going to be a combination of things if we look at the chart in its entirety. Thank you. Thank God there's a combination of things because when we have those really difficult years, we need some easy things that come through and make life easier, yeah, easier.
