Why do you give different transit times in Transits of the Year and AstroText Forecast?
We use different techniques in computing the Transits of the Year and the Horoscope Calendar on the one hand, and the AstroText Forecast on the other. AstroText Forecast considers only a 1-degree orb of a transiting planet. When it goes out of orb, the transit ends, and it appears again when the planet changes direction and goes into orb again. The first two reports make a more detailed analysis of the motion pattern and consider the transit to be active from the first entry into orb up to the last exit. In the graphics, the times in orb are shown as a solid line and the times inbetween as a dotted line. A transit theme is really over only after the last exit. Both approaches are valid. Transits cannot be nailed down so precisely, the choice of orb is relative, depending on the method used. What is really reliable is the date when a transit is exact. The building up and calming down periods before and after can vary.
