In astronomy, planetary transits and occultations occur when a planet passes in front of another object, as seen by an observer.The occulted object may be a distant star, but in rare cases it may be another planet, in which case the event is called a mutual planetary occultation or mutual planetary transit, depending on the relative apparent diameters of the objects.

A transit of Earth across the Sun as seen from Mars takes place when the planet Earth passes directly between the Sun and Mars, obscuring a small part of the Sun's disc for an observer on Mars.
Seen from a superior planet, an inferior planet on the opposite side of the Sun is in superior conjunction with the Sun. An inferior conjunction occurs when the two planets align on the same side of the Sun. At inferior conjunction, the superior planet is "in opposition" to the Sun as seen from the inferior planet (see the diagram).

Mars opposite Pluto calls for us to confront some of our deepest fears and desires simultaneously, according to astrologer Valerie Mesa
The transit of celestial objects is one of the few key phenomena used today for the study of exoplanetary systems. Today, transit photometry is the leading form of exoplanet discovery. [5] As an exoplanet moves in front of its host star there is a dimming in the luminosity of the host star that can be measured. [6]
Furthermore, Uranus—the planet of brilliance and genius—will begin an eight-year cycle as it leaves Taurus to enter Gemini between July 7 and November 8. This planet/sign combination (which ...
