Definition
The moment a planet or point enters a new zodiac sign.
Why it matters
An ingress gives an exact transition time: the moment a planet or point crosses into a new zodiac sign. This is especially useful for birthdays near a Sun-sign change.
Example
The Sun’s ingress into Aries marks the beginning of tropical Aries and occurs around the March equinox.
Common confusion
Calendar dates shown for sign changes are approximations unless a year, time and time zone are specified. The actual ingress is a precise moment.
