Transit mechanic
An activation is a planet sitting in a gate, switching that gate on. Your chart is the set of activations from your two birth moments. Transits add temporary ones on top. The word covers both, so it is worth being clear which kind is meant: one is permanent and yours, the other is passing and shared.
