Progressed Chart Examples

[airedale]

Kim, thanks for the explanation on progressed charts. I copied your response over to this thread b/c I think I sort of pulled the other thread off topic.

I posted my progressed & natal and the progressed on its own. (I like seeing all those planets line up in one house.

I see p.Sun conjuct n.Uranus and p.Moon trine n.Saturn. I'm not sure if any of the other p.Planets are close enough to n.Pluto to count. Thanks to all for any comments.

My question was: Do progressed charts offer any validity interpreted on their own?

From Kim Falconer ( from "ones progressed planets in anothers natal chart" thread)

This is a good question, Airedale, and I'm interested to hear what others feel. I've always been rather traditional on this topic in that the progressed chart is an extension of the natal chart and means little when taken out of context. Realize that secondary progressions, for example, the 'day for a year' technique, simple create a chart x number of days after birth to match your x numbers of years you are old. That chart IS somebody else's natal and only 'belongs to you' when it is seen in connection with your nativity.

Here's Alan Leo weighing in from the end of the 19th century:

A consideration that should be borne in mind very clearly is that all directions (all types of progressions) are conditioned by the state of the horoscope at birth. Note: here he is talking about a progressed planet to a natal planet or a progressed angle to a natal angle or planet. However, he also finds the progressed ascendant and MC important on their own, particularly by sign and decanate (and dwad). He goes on to say, Directions should be interpreted in terms of the positions of the planets in the horoscope of birth, except when both bodies that form the direction are progressed, or when the directions is to a progressed angle; the progressed horoscope should then be consulted. He gives an interesting example here. Thus the king of Greece's progressed Ascendant opposite Mars Rx obviously means that the ascendant has progressed until Mars is on the cusp of the 7th house, hence war.'

Obviously....

But the point is that last configuration was pure progression--no context with the natal, so clearly he gives progressed to prog houses weight WHEN an angle is involved.

I think it's significant to have a load of planets in the shadow of the progressed ascendant and I do watch the natal and P house position of progressed moon WHEN she makes an aspect to a natal planet. I would think that as your progressed inner planets make aspect to those 12th house progressed bodies they would have 'something to say'. Your chart's on my other computer and I can't check quickly now, but if these 12th house p. planets are outer, they would bound to get some activation by p. moon.

Pop up your natal and progressed if you want to use it as an example. That might be the easiest way to discuss this.

Juliet, thank you for the excellent synastry examples. In that case we take our progressions and place them in context to someone else's natal!

Here's my chart:

First of all, Happy Birthday Airedale!!! Yeah!!!!

You have 3 progressions that really JUMP out at me and this year will be a good 'test' of them, to see which, any or all reflect the essence of the next 12 months or so.

1. P. Sun on N. Uranus. The progressions of the Sun are THE MOST significant as the sun is like a torch (flash light) that shines on the planets he touches, lighting them up and bringing what they represent to life. You have had T. Uranus opposite Moon/Jupiter and trine Mars for yonks so much has been 'revolutionized' in your life--home, emotional connections, sense of meaning and purpose, drive, energy, healthy aggression. . . The p. Sun on Uranus though is going to bring the NATAL essence of Uranus to life in you.

I look at P. with a 1 degree orb. In the case of P. Sun, which travels at about 1 degree a year, you have the year before (3 degrees Leo) the year of (4 degrees Leo) and the year after (5 degrees Leo) as orb of influence. This means you are in your '4 degrees of' year and that LAST year at this time, or a few months before, would have marked the beginning of this significant shift--a kind of enlightenment of being.

P. Sun over N. Uranus signifies nothing less than a shift of consciousness--your own personal paradigm shift--a new way of perceiving existence. This is an expansion of the mind, made more powerful because it is happening in your N first house in the Sun's natural sign of Leo. That is is also 'happening' in your P. 12th suggests that it is through dreams, meditation, the Mysteries, and a feeling of connection with all life that brings you to the new awareness.

The key words here are CHANGE. AWARENESS, UNEXPECTED EVENTS, OPEN MIND. Old friends and relationships vanish and new ones enter--it can be romantic, adventurous, stimulating and exciting...You start to think further outside THE BOX~

Can you relate to any of this in the last 14 months? You have another 2 years of it to go!!!

2. P. Venus conjunct P. Ascendant-- Here is the test. P. Venus is very close to your P. Asc. I'll have to look at the ephemeris to see how fast Venus is traveling. She may or may not catch up to the Asc (both move at about 1 degree a year--if you do your progressions for 12 months from now, well see how fast things are shifting). I'm assuming these progressions are current this month? The same orb goes for P. V on P Asc though, the degree before, of and after--which could go on for a very long time as they are both moving at (perhaps) the same speed.

Venus is the power of attraction and on the Ascendant she is coinciding with all things Taurus and Libra--pleasure, sensuality, wealthy, abundance, relationship, elegance, refinement, strong and long term commitments...Have you noticed anything along these lines? And increased capacity to enjoy life, to laugh, to be easy and at peace???

All those planets in the 12th to me say that through 12th house activities you bring to life more and more of the 1st and 2nd house potentials innate in you already. What are you doing '12th house' these days? How does that feel?

3. P. Moon moves at about 1 degree a month so she is past her trine to P Saturn and exact to N. Saturn. I use the same orb--the degree before, of and after--which takes 3 months to pass through. Look back three months to see if there was any promotion, added responsibility, feelings of accomplishment, recognition, commitment--a more steady harmonious vibe THAT is also in effect now with the p. Moon exact N. Saturn. It's a 'rest on your laurels' feeling of accomplishment--though Sun/Uranus will surely keep you excited.

Can you tell us which or if any of these energies are buzzing around your life right now? Let's keep watch and I'd love to hear what others see.

Happy Solar Return!!!! ;D I hope there's chocolate cake!!!

Gee Kim thanks for all the input on this chart!

I seem to be recognizing the P.Sun on N.Uranus energy most strongly. I feel like I am at a pivot point in my life. My interests are changing. Priorities have shifted significantly in the past year. In fact it seems that almost my whole slate of desires has been wiped clean and I am in the midst of uncovering a new set. It’s been a highly unusual year for me! Career changes, friendship changes new and old, and I have just recently started to entertain a couple of way outside the box ideas.

Now that you mention it I am having more 12th house experiences, my dreams have been full of emotion. I’m in meditation and yoga classes. I just feel 'watery' right now.

Thanks again for all this info – I need to digest it some more. Also, thanks for the birthday wishes. And, of course CHOCOLATE was involved!

Hi Airedale and happy birthday ... great to see your progressed chart up here and Kim's comments. That is one busy 12th house! It's made me want to look at mine, and to do a solar return too as my birthday is coming up soon!

[Kim Falconer]

Airedale, anything with the word unusual in it vibes Uranus! It sounds like the P. sun and the 12th house emp are resonating. I'm going to check that p Venus on p ascendant for you.

Stand by!

PS
Glad there was chocolate!

Just crunched some numbers-- you have p Venus conjunct p Asc Exact on Oct 17, 2010 and p. Moon conjunct p. Ace on December 12, 2010. You are in orb now and will be on until 2012. Take notes! (on what you want to happen!!!)
