Astrological cycles refer to the regular patterns of movement and alignment of celestial bodies, such as the planets and stars. These cycles are used in astrology to understand the general influences on society and politics, as well as on an individual’s life. Astrological cycles include transits, which are the movement of planets through the sky, and progressions, which are the symbolic movement of planets through a person’s birth chart.

As planets move into relation with your birth chart planets they light up and activate the energies / houses.

For example: when Pluto changes houses in your chart a new area of your life will begin going through a transformation that lasts for years. Pluto is a slow moving planet, deep transformation takes time.
