Transit tracking and upcoming key periods

A transit is the angle a planet currently moving through the sky forms with a point in your birth chart. SENKRONASTRO scans these angles not just for today, but for the months ahead, and groups the ones that fall close together into a “period.”

The first screen when you open the app: Now

When you log in, your main chart's “Now” screen opens. Upcoming key periods sit at the top; the most significant one is highlighted, the rest are listed below.

If there's no notable transit touching your chart in the period ahead, the screen says so. Something significant isn't manufactured for every single day.

How is a period determined?

The main aspects that slow-moving planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto) make to the planets, Ascendant and Midheaven in your birth chart are tracked day by day. The dates an aspect enters its orb, reaches its exact point, and leaves it are recorded; repeated passes caused by retrograde motion are counted separately.

Transits whose dates fall close together are grouped into a single period. A period's weight isn't decided by orb tightness alone; which planet touches which point, the type of aspect, and whether the transit repeats are all weighed together.

“Why?” and “What might this mean for me?”

Each period card has two separate buttons. “Why?” opens the technical table: the transiting planet, the natal point, the aspect, the orb, and the active date range. “What might this mean for me?” brings up the short interpretation generated from that data.

You can mark a period as “happened,” “partly,” “not yet known,” or “didn't happen.” This feedback is recorded as an observation - it's never treated as a cause-and-effect claim.

Eclipses, new moons and full moons

Solar and lunar eclipses, along with new and full moons, are listed only when they fall within a narrow orb of a point in your birth chart. You won't see a generic “there's an eclipse this month” notice meant for everyone.

Timeline and email notifications

The timeline shows upcoming periods and the life events you've entered on the same axis. If you want, you can get an email when a new upcoming period is detected; the same period is never notified twice, and you can turn notifications off at any time.
