How can I find out the exact day this transit started for me?

You can actually use that website to look at your transits. When you go into the "Extended Chart Selection" it should automatically choose natal chart, with the Placidus House system. What you're going to want to do is click on a drop box to get to your natal chart with transits.

Then you'll need to put in a date you want to look at the transits for. The blue highlighted area is where you will do that:

I pulled up the Nov. 13th [2009] just to take a look at what was going on.

You did indeed, have the transiting Mars square natal Pluto [within a 2-3 degree orb]. But I also noticed you had a couple other things going on. Transiting Mars was also square natal Mars. Also, transiting Mars is conjunct your moon...which of course squares the natal Mars and Pluto. Then you have some other transiting planets conjunct Pluto it would seem. Look up those aspects.

The Mars square Pluto transit is going to be a pain...especially since Mars is Retrograde for awhile too. With that Mars in your 4th house it wouldn't be surprising to be having issues with family/the domestic scene.

But to answer exactly when the transit would have started would depend on what range of orb you are looking at. I believe squares are a 5 degree orb...so that would probably put it around the 10th of November.

I wish you luck in your research, but also with any problems you're dealing with *hugs*

I use 1' approaching, 1' exact and 1' departing. If you click on the link listed below for the online ephemeris it will list all planets at any given time. :whistling: Learning astrology is like learning a new ‘language’ and obviously the more effort you put into something the more your knowledge and understanding will increase.


Transits
astro.com has fee six month transit forecast plus when you get into Extended chart selection, look at the three tabs after calculating a chart under ‘method’ default is circular wheels (on left), middle is special charts and in their you get graphic ephemeris 1yr (or 5years) with natal = transits for 1yr and lots more. BUT you first must learn or memorise the 'glyphs' ie: shorthand for recognising what these maps/graphics mean.

For example when you post or reply to a chart the 'smilies' to the right and just under them [more] if you click on there it will bring up a whole loads of 'glyphs' :mercury:Mercury :uranus:Uranus :conjunct:conjunction (+or - 8') :trine:trine aspect 120' :libra:Libra

Now it's more important to focus on transits from Jupiter to Pluto and these planets when aspecting something in your natal chart 'set off' the difficult or nice 'aspects - potential - problems' that your chart expresses. By that I mean if a benefic planet like Jupiter hits/touches/transits your venus, mars or uranus these could be experienced very pleasantly. BUT if your natal venus is afflicted, or badly aspected say conj saturn then jupiter will not has such a good effect. It all depends on how the natal planet is 'aspected'

For me I would say external 'events' must be seen by transits, progressions or Solar arcs to Angles ie: Asc/Desc & MC/IC most other times these events are 'internal, psychological matters as in between the ears'
