Intro for Astrologers

Secondary progressions represent a symbolic movement of the planets and cusps of the birth chart.  This progressed motion is based on the idea that each day after (or before) birth corresponds to one year in the life.  For example, if someone were born on October 5, 1960, then their progressed chart at age 19 would correspond to a natal chart cast for October 24 (= 5 + 19), 1960.  When we measure backward in time before the birth chart, we speak of converse secondary progressions.  The aspects formed by the secondary progressed planets and cusps among themselves and with the natal placements indicate the unfolding of major life trends.  The progressions act like the unfolding of the "genetic code" of the birth chart and form the backdrop against which the transits for a given period take place. 

For example, when a person reaches age 28 or 29, the progressed Sun will have moved forward about 29 degrees from its birth position, and the progressed Moon will have completed one entire cycle around the birth chart.  The first return of the progressed Moon to its natal position corresponds to the transiting Saturn return at age 29 and marks the beginning of a new phase of adult life. 

To make optimal use of the progressed chart, it is useful to identify which house each planet rules in the natal chart.  As the planets aspect one another by progression, the matters related to the houses they rule will come into focus.  For example, someone with a Cancer 10th cusp (career ruled by the Moon) and a Scorpio 2nd cusp (income ruled by Mars and Pluto) will experience changes in income from career when aspects occur that involve the Moon and either Mars or Pluto. 

Progressed planets and angles move very slowly.  The Moon is quickest and takes a little over two years to progress through each house and sign, bringing matters related to its house and sign position by progression into prominence in the life cycle.  The house and sign placements of the progressed Moon are the most important indicators of the affairs that will be most significant during this 2 1/3 year period of the life cycle. 

Progressed Sun, Mercury, and Venus move on average about one degree every year.  Thus, allowing a one degree orb, the influence of aspects formed by the Sun, Mercury, and Venus can be felt about a year either side of the date that the aspect become exact.  Mars progresses at about half a degree a year, so its orb of influence may span a two year period before and after the date of exactness.  The heavy outer planets (Jupiter through Pluto) progress very slowly and may never leave their natal sign or house positions.  Progressed aspects of the slower planets can last decades or even the entire life cycle.  The interpretation of progressed slower planets in signs and houses is very similar to interpreting those placements in a natal horoscope. 

Aspects formed by progressed planets often have the most effect close to the date when they become exact, but they are effective for at least a one degree orb before and after that date.  The aspects of the progressed Moon are ephemeral and influence the life For a month or two around the date of perfection.  Progressed Moon aspects can also indicate the timing of other progressed aspects.  For example, in a year when the Sun makes a progressed aspect, the effects of the Sun's progressed aspect are likely to be felt when the progressed Moon forms an aspect to the natal or progressed Sun. 

Aspects formed by Mercury and Venus are more significant and are usually felt for a few months to a year on either side of the date that they become exact.  Aspects of the progressed Sun and Mars are quite significant and influence one's life for a year or more either side of the date of exactness.  When the slower planets make exact aspects by progression, they will have a major influence, often lasting for several years, but most powerfully within a year of the time they occur exactly.  Usually the aspects formed by progressed slower planets (Jupiter through Pluto) already exist in the birth chart and will color the personality development and the entire life course of the individual. 

The most important secondary progressions are those formed by the Midheaven, the Ascendant, and the Sun.  Virtually every significant life event will involve one or more of these progressions within a one degree orb.  For this reason, when using progressions to forecast for a particular year, it is necessary to look at any exact progressed aspects that occur both in the year before and in the year after the forecast period. 

In addition, important life events will occur when progressed planets change sign, cross a natal house cusp, or make a station.  A planet makes a station when it appears to stop and change direction from the point of view of an observer on earth. 

In the following report you will find a listing of the sign and house positions of the progressed planets, followed by all the exact aspects formed during the coming year.  In reading this report, consider the house and sign placements of progressed planets as describing the general background in which the aspects will manifest.  When a progressed planet changes sign or house, an event often occurs related to the nature of the new sign or house.  These placements will give you a general sense of the areas being emphasized by progression at this time in your life.  The "orb" next to the planets in signs and houses indicates how many degrees the progressed planet has entered into the sign or house. 

The exact aspects of progressed planets to natal planets will give you an idea of what types of situations and events are likely to occur over the coming year.  Progressed aspects being formed by the slower planets will have the most significance.  In order of importance of their progressed aspects, the planets are Pluto (profound changes), Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon (ephemeral changes). 

Any given year is likely to have many progressed Moon aspects and few or no progressed aspects of the Sun and other planets.  In reading this report, pay special attention to the aspects formed by the Sun, Ascendant, Midheaven, and the planets other than the Moon.  In other words, any "non-Moon" progressed aspects will carry a great deal of weight and will have a major and memorable impact on the year being studied. 

The interpretations in this report describe some typical situations that might be indicated by each aspect.  They are derived from centuries of astrological observation and recorded experience.  Nonetheless, these delineations represent only possibilities and not certainties.  The paragraph for each aspect will give you a sense of the general types of experience to expect but not the exact nature of what is about to happen.  

The purpose of this report is to prepare you for both the positive and negative trends of the future period you are about to enter.  When difficult situations are indicated, it is best to consider what you might be doing, thinking, or feeling that could foster such a situation to manifest.  Virtually all difficult aspects can be worked with to foster personal growth and to rechannel their potentially harmful features into constructive manifestations.  For example, if progressed Mars (aggression, force) is about to square Neptune (carelessness, intoxication), this could manifest as drunken driving, but it could also be an opportunity to put hard work (Mars) into realizing some creative idea (Neptune).  Perhaps the proverb says it best: forewarned is forearmed. 

This report supplies an interpretation for the major aspects, namely, the conjunction, sextile, square, trine and opposition.  Sextiles and trines are considered harmonious and favorable.  An abundance of harmonious aspects will mark an easy-going year.  Squares and oppositions are considered discordant and stressful.  An abundance of discordant aspects will mark a difficult year, one that challenges us to grow and fosters our personal development.  Conjunctions are variable, depending on the planets involved and the aspects made by the conjunction. 

Minor aspects are listed simply as harmonious or discordant.  The reader should bear in mind that the minor aspects are less potent that the major ones (trines, sextiles, squares, and oppositions).  Harmonious minor aspects are similar to sextiles and trines, and the interpretation for the trine will occur in the text.  Discordant aspects are similar to squares, and the interpretation for the square will occur in the text.  

The general division of aspects into harmonious and discordant is a bit too simplistic.  A square or opposition involving planets that are harmoniously placed in the birth chart is likely to produce positive and productive results.  A sextile or trine involving planets that are stressfully related in the birth chart may trigger a period of stress and difficulty.  It is best to read the progressed report in conjunction with the natal chart and the current transits. 

There is a lot of material in the report you are about to read.  To orient yourself to the most important trends during the time period of the report, begin by reading the house and sign placements of the progressed Moon.  Next read the text for any progressed aspects formed by planets other than the Moon.  These paragraphs will highlight the key themes for the forecast period.  Next read the aspects being formed by the progressed Moon to get a sense of the flow of issues that will unfold.  Finally, read the paragraphs for the progressed "non-Moon" planets in signs and houses, as these will give the general ongoing background for this phase of your life.
