That is a much more useful question.

Some people consistently feel transits early.

Some during the exact hit.

Some afterwards.

None of those experiences are wrong.

Astrology is a conversation.

Not a stopwatch.

Final thoughts

If there is one thing I hope you take away from this article, it’s this:

The sky doesn’t flip a switch.

It breathes.

It approaches.

It builds.

It peaks.

Then it gently lets go.

An orb is simply the language astrologers use to describe that process.

Once you understand it, astrology becomes much less frightening and much more natural.

You’ll stop obsessing over exact minutes.

You’ll stop wondering why you’re already feeling something before the official date.

And you’ll realise that, just like life itself, the planets usually whisper before they shout.

That might be one of the most comforting things astrology has to teach us.
