Progressions
Your life's inner clock — what is ripening in you now
Progressions — also called secondary progressions — are a method of inner evolution: they reflect how the psyche, the system of values and the character develop over time. Their foundation is a symbolic principle: one day of the planets' real motion after birth equals one year of life — to understand the thirtieth year, the astrologer reads the sky of the thirtieth day. Progressions do not show outer circumstances (that is transits' territory) — they show the person's own readiness for change: the psychological age and the spiritual growth. The chart changes slowly, so the method reads the great life stages and long-term trends best; its chief actors are the Sun and the personal planets — the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars — the outer ones shift only a few degrees in a whole lifetime.
Metaphor: the natal chart is your house. The walls and furniture (the natal planets) stay the same, but progressions show which room is “switched on” now and what light burns in it.
- The progressed Moon — where the period's emotional needs are focused
- Exact aspects to the natal — the inner potential ready to unfold into an outer event
- Ingresses — a progressed Sun or personal planet entering a new sign: priorities change smoothly but fundamentally
- Stations and reversals — the motion flipping retrograde or direct: a deep rebuilding of the planet's function
