Spiritual growth is not random.
It occurs at distinct times in specific areas of life.
These times and areas differ between people but can be predicted with remarkable accuracy by an astrologer.
What is a progressed chart?
Progressed charts are calculated by a formula thatprogressesor moves the natal chart forward.
In a progressed chart, each day after birth equals one year of life.
The progressed chart is useful for showing slow changes over the course of life.
How long do progressed charts last?
The moon is the fastest-moving planetary body in the progressed chart (and one of the most useful).
It moves approximately one (1.09) degree(s) per month.
In contrast, it takes 30 years for the progressed sun to change signs.
It moves one degree per year and only goes through two to three signs in most people’s lives.
The distant planets (Neptune and Pluto) move very little in a progressed chart.
Mars moves half a degree per year.
Jupiter and Saturn are “middle planets.”
They move at middle speeds in both transit and progressed charts.
