Oh, Dolly! I feel for her. Pluto trod back and forth across my Cap Sun for YEARS. It was brutal. Useful, transformational, I much prefer my life now to what was before, etc., etc. but MAN did Pluto exact some coin to get across that river.
Which makes me think about another thing which is maybe just over the line of basic about transits, but maybe not. It certainly took me a long time to appreciate. Namely, that not understanding what the meaning/lesson/significance of a given transit is, particularly, an outer planet transit while it's happening is totally normal. If you can journal while it's happening to catch the details, that can be useful information to have later, but what it all meant can take years to reveal itself.
I love that you say that, Asha, because I actually left out a whole paragraph that I wrote when answering that question in Discord about not worrying about transits that you're experiencing in the day to day — how perspective really does come with time. So I appreciate you adding that here.
I'll confess, only recently have I ceased worrying about them nearly entirely because it's not like there's anything I can do about it all other than recognize it's happening so I can try to extend myself a little grace. Though I do still pay some attention to when they will be "over" based on orb. It helps me remember that most transits, especially outer planet ones, require stamina. I can dig in to find it when I need to, but it helps to know how many miles I have left, so to speak.
Have you gotten any questions about orb in the Discord? That's a basic question, the answer to which I have found super useful in my own practice of astrological attention.
I love how you described VOC moons. I’ve been focusing more on lunar cycles after learning about sects and it’s been so interesting to deepen my relationship with the moon beyond full and new moons.
The lunar cycle really is the core of my practice / life, honestly. The older/deeper I get into all of this, the more stripped down so much becomes, but the moon remains. Always.

Great minds! :)
