Transit Aspects
Astrological transits are a part of what is usually called predictive astrology, the claim of astrology to predict or forecast future trends and developments. Most astrologers nowadays regard the term 'prediction' as something of a misnomer, as modern astrology does not claim to directly predict future events as such. Instead it is claimed that an astrological pattern with regard to the future can correspond with any one of a variety of possibilities. What is in fact foretold is the trend of circumstances and the nature of the individual's reaction to the situation
Moon Transits
The Moon spends only about two and a half days in a natal house. This means that its effects occur so quickly that you feel them more as unconscious urges and impulses than conscious reactions to situations. The effects of the transiting Moon, as it makes aspects with your natal planet positions, are often felt for only a matter of hours. Regardless of whether you are consciously aware of them, you will feel the effects of the Moon.

You will feel highly sensitive to everything going on around you, even the slightest thing could spike an emotional response. With such changeable moods, it’s not a good time to make big decisions. Rather make the effort to understand how you feel. Although your reactions might be extreme at this time, they don’t come from nowhere. They most likely reflect your everyday feelings, they're just your everyday feelings turned up to 11. The increased intensity gives you a great opportunity to better understand your emotional life, both when it’s intense and when it’s on a more even keel. So get out in the world and let your emotional responses do their thing. It’s an educational opportunity.
