Here is a sample from my Astrology Blog at http://ahgamen.net That's the parallel resource to this site. You can find current events and misc. items over there.
Autobiographical: Who was I? and what was I thinking? So much of my
life remains a wild memory. A mystery. I'm amazed that I was able to do
what I did. Why? and How? Thank G*d for it all. What a learning
experience!
So enough of the generalities. Let's get specific. We are embarking
on an extremely detailed journey through one man's past. A difficult and
daunting task. In fact, it would be impossible for most people to do
this. How can it be done? Perhaps a significant advantage is given by
decades of study into the self-awareness arts. Enlightenment as it is
called. One such art is the practice of Astrology. We are going to
journey through this life by following the reliable road map of
astrological charting. A road map which will suggest a world of endless
possibilities, stretching to the horizon. Yet how did this individual
navigate with the map? Which turns did he take, where did he get "lost",
and where did he "find" himself again?
Where can we begin? Because the memories of childhood are so vague
and shrouded in mist. Let's start with a very significant day, when
everything was clear and awareness had reached a new level. It was in
1981, March 9. After we explore a major sequence of events, we can then
delve backwards from 1981 into the early childhood for an entire chapter
on more subconscious recollections.
Our sequence of events will begin with this fundamental chart of Transit 1981-03-09:

Let us begin to unravel this personal historic moment. The Neptune
Transit is conjunct the IC Nadir Natal, moving from the 3H Natal into
the 4H Natal. This point is Square to the ASC Natal and DSC Natal
(definitely, if using Equal House System). Neptune has moved about 33
degrees for the entire life up-to-this-date. It next approaches a Square
to Chiron Natal.
Neptune Natal (3H) is Square to the Mercury Transit. Meanwhile, Mars
Transit and Sun Transit are Trine Neptune Natal. Mars Transit is also
Trine Venus Natal.
The combust conjunction of Jupiter Transit and Saturn Transit is
Square to Mercury Natal. These Transit planets are also going into
Opposition to Saturn Natal.
Uranus Transit retrograding is Trine to Jupiter Natal and Venus Natal (11H) On the other side, it is Trine to Chiron Natal.
Venus Transit is Square Sun Natal.
Sun Transit is Opposition Pluto Natal and Uranus Natal.
Moon Transit is conjunct Moon Natal and Sextile Mercury Natal.
Chiron Transit is Trine Pluto Natal and Uranus Natal.
This is the typical method of comparing the Transiting Chart with the
Natal Chart. Another method, which I especially like to use, is to
compare the Transits to the Progressed chart. It may change things ever
so slightly, yet I find it more accurate more of the time. More accurate
in a "different way". I will explain what this means in a later
chapter.
Let's take a look at them side-by-side. Noticing the differences in the pattern and shape.

There are some major changes. How does it differ from doing a regular transit reading?

Instead of Neptune Transit being conjunct the IC Natal and the planet
not being in any close aspects to any other planet, now Neptune Transit
is Opposition to Sun Progressed. That totally makes more sense. This
event was the first major spiritual revelation in my experiences, which
made a lasting effect on my goals and purpose in life. Instead of having
theoretical ideas and questions, I was confronted with a cosmic goal, I
started making plans and taking action.
At the same time, Sun Progressed was leaving a Trine to Pluto Transit
and a Square is strenthening with Mars Transit. Meanwhile, Mars Transit
is Trine Neptune Progressed. All of this creates a tangible "planetary
energy circuit".
Judy Garland's chart
2010, January 23 - 9:00pm — ahgamen
This is the Natal chart of Judy Garland, actress and entertainer. The transits are for the day of her death.
It makes an important study: Look at how the "dark moon Lilith" is conjunct her Natal Ascendant.
The Transiting Sun had just been opposition her Natal Moon and coming
to conjunction of Natal Mercury. I.e. she had a natal opposition of
Moon vs. Mercury.
Transiting Uranus is coming to conjunction of her Natal Saturn.
A fatal juncture arrives.
I add this caveat, snipped from the erudite astrodienst organization:
Interpreting Lilith
"During my years of astrological practice, I have come to use the Dark
Moon in all my chart analyses, as a complement to interpretating the
Moon. It would never occur to me to neglect this influence. The Dark
Moon describes our relationship to the absolute, to sacrifice as such,
and shows how we let go. In transit, the Dark Moon indicates some form
of castration or frustration, frequently in the areas of desire, a
powerlessness of the psyche, or a general inhibition. On the other hand,
it shows where we question ourselves, our lives, our jobs, and our
beliefs. I feel this is important, since it gives us the opportunity to
"let go" of something. The Dark Moon shows where we can let the Whole
flow into our selves, without putting an "I" in the way, without putting
up a wall in the form of ego. At the same time, it doesn't indicate
passivity - on the contrary - it symbolizes the firm will to be open and
trusting, to let the Greater World flow through one, relying entirely
on the great laws of the universe, on that which we name God. To prepare
us for this opening, the Dark Moon creates a necessary void."
