Why the Vertex Is Not Shown in the Outer Wheel of Transit Bi-Wheels

In TimePassages, the Vertex is treated as a natal-sensitive point, not as an actively transiting one.

In standard astrological practice, the Vertex is interpreted by examining transiting planets as they contact the natal Vertex. The Vertex itself is not typically analyzed as a moving point in transit charts, even though its position can technically shift over time.

Because of this convention:

• The natal Vertex is displayed in the inner wheel

• Transiting planets are shown in the outer wheel

• The Vertex is not included in the outer wheel of Transit Bi-Wheel charts

This design keeps transit charts aligned with how most astrologers work with the Vertex in practice—focusing on planet-to-Vertex contacts rather than Vertex-to-planet motion.

Summary

• The Vertex is considered a natal point of sensitivity

• Transits are interpreted to the natal Vertex, not of the Vertex

• TimePassages follows standard astrological convention in how transit charts are displayed

If you’re looking to track when transiting planets activate your Vertex, simply watch for transit aspects to the natal Vertex shown in the inner wheel.
