Asking because I feel like the Sagittarius transits lately have been affecting me. And I have no planets in Sag.

So how do the current transits affect us?

There is currently a square between Neptune and Saturn, as well as Uranus to Pluto.

It's very violent and any connection to these in your chart will be affected by it.

Omg what does that mean? Also how do I see if there's a connection in my chart? Is it like if I already have a square between neptune and saturn, etc?

These are my aspects in those planets:

Uranus Conjunction Neptune 1°50
Uranus Sextile Pluto 3°25
Uranus Square Ascendant 1°21
Neptune Sextile Pluto 5°14
Neptune Square Ascendant 3°11
Pluto Quincunx Ascendant 2°03

Any of these relevant?

They affect you if the planets are close to the planets involed on the transits now....
They're at 7 sag, 9 pisces, 14 aries and 16 capricorn.

If any of your planets have an aspect to these, -affect.

Example you have venus gemini 4. There wil be an aspect to satun in sag 7. (Opposition)

If you have saturn in sag 17*, it will form a trine to Uranus in Aries 14. -affect.

cafeastrology has a fairly easy to find option for looking at aspects between your chart and transits. You just fill out your birth chart then at top, I believe, it'll have an option to look at the next 14 days of transits. Although, they're not my favorite site to use.

It lists 8 aspects for those listed planets for me.

Your venus 9 sco is trine the neptune 7 pisces....

Your moon in Aries is trine the saturn 9 sag.

These are not bad aspects, they give a surge of energy to these placements.

Your Saturn is obviously conj neptune and square transit saturn, so you're right in there...of course you're gonna feel pressured, and turbulence... It will last until jan or feb, the thing gradually moves away.

You're at whats called the 3rd square of Saturn. The planet goes around the sun in 29 years, so every 7 years you get a hard aspect, age 7, 14, 21/22, and 29.
In my experience the 3 rd square can be dangerous, watch out for any accidents or things that get out of hand. And the Saturn return (which comes at age 29, for everyone) is stressful, painful, and time kind of draws out.

@tiziani That's very interesting. I don't fully understand it, but I'm going to keep coming back to what you said as I learn more and I'll figure it out. I love this site, I've learnt a lot since I joined.

U welcome 🙂 several of your planets are lined up with this square in the sky, this is a key point in your life. It's not just a regular 3rd square of Saturn.

When you have your Saturn return, in 2022, your Venus trine Saturn will be activated (the theme will be beauty or social life), but there won't be a particular aspect in the sky, so it should be almost smoother than is transit.
