By studying the transits of the outer planets such as Pluto, Uranus, Neptune, Saturn, Jupiter and the North and South node we can gain a clearer insight into the likely trends over longer periods of time. By studying the movements of these planets to different signs and houses of the Zodiac with respect to the Sun sign of persons birth we are able to predict events which have been observed over thousands of years by astrologers. These observations can be replicated over and over again and this is how trends to use to forecast what will happen in your life not just in the coming year let in many years to come.
The transits of Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and karmic nodes have much to say about the transposable issues in life and also what will happen to groups of people, nations and indeed the earth as a whole. When these planets have an intimate link with the personal or inner planets of your horoscope then they may indeed have a greater impact on what is happening to you over the coming year or so. Pluto for example, as to do with transformative processes and the elimination of those things in your life which are obstructing your evolution. Neptune is a great deal to say about the material and spiritual aspect of life while Uranus can be sudden and very abrupt in its action. The karmic nodes speak about past and future karmic issues and what sorts of lessons you must learn to deal with in this life.
The planet's Saturn, and Jupiter have more personal influence and of their transits through each of the star signs is much shorter than the transposable planets. Saturn roughly spends approximately 2 1/2 years in a sign Jupiter approximately 1 year. These two planets have a great deal to say about upcoming trends and these are usually used quite extensively in making yearly forecast. The North and South node spend approximately 18 months in its sign and retrograde through the Zodiac, through an opposite direction and can also be used to give fairly accurate yearly forecasts.
