Through which our natal architecture couples with the memory of spacetime and gains the opportunity to reorganize toward greater coherence and causal integration.

In simple terms: planetary transits are like a personalized training program that the universe offers us. They are moments when your unique way of being — that inner “imprint” you carry from birth — connects with the deep “memory” of the cosmos and has the chance to grow stronger, reorganize itself, and become more coherent, integrated, and truly in charge of itself.

This may sound poetic, but it has a solid foundation in contemporary cosmology. And why not? Nothing prevents the creator of the universe from also having the soul of a poet.

Here is the explanation:

A recent article from the International Space Federation brings together a series of scientific findings that, at first glance, seem to have nothing to do with astrology. It talks about unicellular organisms such as Stentor coeruleus that learn Pavlovian conditioning: they associate a weak stimulus with a strong one and begin to respond to the weak one as if anticipating the strong. It also mentions hydrogels — literally electroactive gelatin with no living cells at all — that develop an emergent form of memory and improve their performance playing Pong through the redistribution of their ions.

The conclusion of the article is powerful: cognition — the capacity to learn, remember, and act in a goal-directed way — is not exclusive to brains. It is a scale-free property of organized matter. It appears at every level, from the molecular to the neural, from a hydrogel to a human being.

In astrology, planetary transits are the continuous movement of the planets as seen from Earth. Traditionally, they are spoken of as “influences” that come from outside. Something that happens to us.

But if cognition is a scale-free property of organized matter, then we ourselves — our psyche, our consciousness, our way of being — are also a system of that kind. With a specific architecture. With a particular geometry. With our own way of integrating information, storing learning, and exercising what we call agency.

In astrology, we call that architecture the natal chart.

And from this perspective, transits cease to be “external influences” and become something far more interesting: training protocols.
