What this category covers
Transits & Cycles pages explain the everyday meaning of each term first, then add spiritual context, historical or traditional background, and The Great Almanac's interpretation limits. The goal is to help readers understand the symbol without turning it into fear, hype, or a forced prediction.
How to use this dictionary category
Use this category as a reference layer, not as a substitute for a personal reading. A definition page can tell you what a term means, why it matters, and which related concepts to read next.
