A Conduction is the act of turning a Key, activating its potential at the right moment in time. In astrological terms, a Key is a specific point in the birth chart that holds significance, but it remains somewhat dormant until a slow-moving celestial body—an Activator—passes over it. When this happens, an Activation occurs, presenting a window of opportunity to engage with the Key’s energy consciously and intentionally Conduction is the practice of working with an Activation deliberately, directing its influence rather than simply experiencing it passively.

​

Each Key in the birth chart, such as the Sun at a particular degree, is activated whenever one of the major planetary bodies—Jupiter, Saturn, Chiron, Uranus, Neptune, or Pluto—reaches that same degree. For example, if your Sun is at 16° Virgo, then every time Jupiter reaches that degree in your lifetime, your Sun Key will be Activated by Jupiter. These Activators move at different speeds, meaning some will return frequently, while others take decades or even centuries to revisit the same degree. Conduction is the process of working with these activations to shape their influence in your life.

​

The length of time a Conduction can be applied depends on the Activator involved. Faster-moving planets like Jupiter create shorter activations, lasting a few months, whereas slower-moving bodies like Pluto remain over a Key for several years. This period is known as the activation’s "window of opportunity." During this time, turning the Key through Conduction allows you to align with the planetary influence in a meaningful way, using it as a tool for personal and spiritual development.

​

The act of Conduction follows natural cycles. In practice, working with an Activation means engaging with its energy in a structured way, often following the rhythm of either the lunar or solar cycle. A Magnetic or Lunar Conduction aligns with the Moon, operating on a one-month cycle, while an Electric or Solar Conduction follows the Sun, lasting a full year. These cycles create a buildup of energy, allowing the Conduction to generate a stronger effect over time—much like a series of gears turning a great celestial mechanism. This is especially the case with Magnetic Conduction. 

​

Ultimately, Conduction is about participation rather than passivity, but you can use it to simply observe and converse with planets rather than shape their manifestations. Through Conduction instead of simply experiencing an Activation as an external event, you step into alignment with cosmic timing, guiding the energy in a way that is intentional and empowering. By turning your Keys with awareness, you take an active role in the unfolding of your own astrological narrative, making the most of the windows of opportunity that each Activation provides.
