Transit alerts: how they work

In short

Once a day, in the morning, Viki checks whether one of the slow planets has approached your natal Sun or Moon. If it has — she writes first, unprompted: what began, what it means for you specifically, two-three tips and how long it lasts. Never more than one message a day.

Which planets and aspects

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto — the slow ones, those that set life stages rather than moods. Their conjunctions, squares, trines and oppositions to your natal Sun and Moon are watched.

The Moon is included only if your exact birth time is known: without it her position is imprecise, and the alert would be a lie.

When it arrives

On the day the transit enters exact phase — when the gap falls below one degree. Not «a week before» and not «sometime this month», but the very day the period starts working.

The period itself lasts longer: weeks for Jupiter, months for Pluto, in waves.

What’s in the message

  • What exactly began — which planet approached what.
  • What it means for you, given your chart.
  • Two-three concrete tips for the period.
  • How long it will last.

Why this is the headline feature

Every other service waits until you remember it exists. Astrology usually works like this: people come when things are already bad. The transit alert flips that logic — it arrives at the start of the period, while something can still be done.

An honest caveat

There’s currently no «don’t send alerts» switch. Only Pro subscribers get them, never more than one a day — but fully opting out while staying subscribed isn’t possible yet.

How it looks in the chat
Anna, good morning. Today Saturn entered an exact square to your Sun. A period begins where you’ll answer for what used to run on enthusiasm: commitments, deadlines and boundaries will be tested. Three things: take on nothing new, finish what’s started, say «no» out loud. Roughly until the end of March, returning in autumn.
