Transit Snapshot
As you can see from the grid displayed above, it is easy to get a snapshot of a person's current transits by setting things up as below:
1.In Preferences the Tight "Aspect Set" is selected (because, as shipped from the factory, it only has 1° orbs)
2.For Chart 1 the Natal chart of interest is selected
3.For Chart 2 a Current Transits chart is selected (defaults to the Home Location, but this can be edited and changed for this chart if necessary)
4.In the Display Controls Grid is selected
The result is that we are seeing only the natal person's current transits. It is dead easy with this kind of graphic information to see that currently there's mainly four that stand out as stronger energy and potential stress areas:
•transiting Saturn square Mars
•transiting Chiron quincunx natal Mercury
•transiting Uranus quincunx natal Neptune and Pluto
•transiting Pluto square natal Chiron
