Secondary Progressions

A symbolic timing method where the sky one day after birth describes one year of life, so the chart unfolds slowly as you age.

Secondary Progressions

Definition

In secondary progressions, the positions of the planets 30 days after your birth describe your 30th year. Fast bodies move meaningfully: the progressed Moon travels about 12–15° a year, changing sign every two and a half years; the progressed Sun about 1° a year.

The progressed Moon

Its sign and house describe the emotional climate of a two-to-three-year chapter, and its aspects to natal angles often coincide with events. That makes it one of the key tests in birth time rectification.
