Transiting planets
The Sun spends around 30 days in each sign, travelling at the speed of 53 secs a day.
The Moon transits all twelve signs about every 28 days. It spends approximately 2 1/2 days in each sign.
Mercury transits one sign from about 14 to 30 days, depending on how long it remains retrograde.
Venus travels from 0 to 1:16°, per day, again depending on how long it's in retrograde motion, and stays in a sign approximately 23 days to a little over 2 months.
Mars too travels from 0° to 1:16° per day depending on its speed, and takes about 2 years to go through all 12 signs, staying in one sign for about 1.5 months.
Jupiter travels from 0 to 0:14° per day depending on how long it's retrograde.
Saturn travels from 0 to 8 minutes per day depending on its motion.
There is this belief, that the present life cycle is just a transitory process for the soul, in its journey towards purification, by which it becomes worthy to be part of what it once was and where it truly came from - the divine light.
This theory, that we are eternal spirits or divine consciousness having a physical experience, offers a salvation or release from the cycle of physical existence. In the cosmic scheme of things, there is the positioning of a moment in time -the basis of what comprises the birth chart. This translation of Vedic theories as kundali (birth chart); combined with Vedic shastras (principles), determine the soul path.
Is it just the astronomical positions in the sky or is it a reflection of the colour of the journey that the soul is embarking on, brings us to the question -
Is all predestined?
