Transit Rhythmogram

Transit rhythmogram for 5 years. In the transit rhythmogram the transit of the slow-moving planets are depicted as colored curves of intensity. The rhythmogram contains individual curves for the intensitiy of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto, as well as a curve of sums. Accumulations of transits (phases of high cosmic activity for a person) can be seen in the curve of sums at a glance.

Calculation of the transit rhythmogram

Each of the transiting planets generates its own rhythmic curve through its transits over the positions of the natal planets and their aspect points. When the transiting planet reaches the 1° orb of a natal point, the rhythmogram starts to ascend; this rise lasts until the point of the exact transit, then the curve descends until the orb is left. The slower the movement of a planet, the higher and wider the resulting triangular curve will be. This results in a natural evaluation function for the transits based on their duration. Transits between outer planets are weighted less, conjunctions and oppositions are weighted more strongly than the other aspects.

For the most important long-term transits, the respective natal planet and the aspect type as well as the zodiac sign of the contact are indicated below the curve, so that it is easy to draw conclusions for the interpretation.

The curve of sums (black, top curve) is the sum of the individual planet rhythmograms and gives a summary of the cosmic activation in relation to certain natal constellations. (For experts: We generate a linear superposition of the individual transit curves; if the sum exceeds 70% of the maximum amplitude, we change to logarithmic representation.)

Incorporated elements: five transiting planets from Jupiter to Pluto; natal points: ten planets, Moon's Nodes, Ascendant and MC; Aspects 0°, 180°, 90°, 120°, 60°. Each graphic covers a time span of five years.
