Astrologers are very good at tossing around big, high-concept words like \u2018spiritual,\u2019 \u2018soul journey,\u2019 \u2018shamanistic.\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 We talk about \u2018transformation\u2019 and the \u2018evolution of consciousness.\u2019\u00a0 We say times of great crisis are \u2018opportunities for change\u2019 and the \u2018heightening of awareness.\u2019\u00a0 But often, the jargon is a cover for a lack of specificity.\u00a0 What we really want to know, as clients, is, \u201cWhat kind of transformation?\u00a0 What needs to change?\u00a0 And how painful will it be?\u201d\u00a0 And often there is a deeper, unacknowledged question lurking in the depths.\u00a0 That question is, \u201cWhy?\u201d<\/p>\n

Most astrology that you read these days focuses on transiting planets to provide us with information.\u00a0 It makes sense. They are fairly simple to read. The natal chart is the map of one\u2019s potential and the picture of one\u2019s essence.\u00a0 It contains all that we are and all that we may be.\u00a0 The way the current sky affects it, the way current circumstances \u2018rock the boat\u2019 can be accurately described by focusing on what planets and houses are affected.\u00a0 Anyone who has experienced an outer planet on an angle will attest to this.\u00a0 Change comes marching in, whether we\u2019re ready for it or not.\u00a0 Transits can accurately describe what needs to change and how that change will occur.\u00a0 But the one question a transit will never answer is the most important one\u2013\u201dWhy?\u201d\u00a0 Why is this happening to me now?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy\u201d is answered, very clearly, by an accurate reading of the progressed chart.<\/p>\n

The progressed chart is the map of the natal chart moved on from the time of your birth to where you are right now, this minute.\u00a0 The concerns revealed in the progressed chart are the ones uppermost in your mind, heart and soul right now, because they are also the ones uppermost in your journey toward growth.\u00a0 The progressed chart tells us how far we\u2019ve come, and what we have yet to do.\u00a0 Most importantly, it tells us where we are in terms of our personal cycle\u2013are we coming to a progressed new moon, which is a rare (28 year cycle) occurrence involving major endings and beginnings?\u00a0 Or are we facing the crisis of rebirth necessary when the progressed Ascendant hits Pluto, Neptune or Uranus?\u00a0 A progressed new moon will happen two or three times in a lifetime if we\u2019re lucky.\u00a0 The progressed Ascendant will only hit that outer planet for a three year period, and then never again.\u00a0 Both indicate times of intense transformation that will not be revealed by transits.\u00a0 Without the progressed chart, we may have the experience but miss the meaning.<\/p>\n

The phasal relationship of the Sun and Moon, indicated in the birth chart, puts a colour and flavour on the entire life.\u00a0 It indicates how we approach our lives and how we make sense of them, and provides a fundamental clue to our personality.\u00a0 The progressed Sun and progressed Moon are the most important indicators in the progressed chart.\u00a0 As they move around the progressed chart and interact with both the progressed and natal charts, they trigger major life events and crises that reveal to us new elements of our being and new roads we must travel in order to live authentic and fulfilled lives.\u00a0 The Nodes, too, increase in importance in the progressed chart.\u00a0 The Nodes themselves are indicators of soul growth; in the progressed chart, they take on heightened importance as progressed planets make aspects to them and to the Nodal rulers, revealing the meaning of current life events in the context of our growing spiritual awareness.<\/p>\n

Without the ability to read progressed charts, an astrologer, no matter how skilled, has only a shallow grasp of the meaning of life events.\u00a0 The progressed chart puts all of life\u2019s challenges, joys, disappointments and tragedies into a meaningful context.\u00a0 Most of us became involved with astrology because we wanted an answer to the not so simple question of \u2018why?\u2019\u00a0\u00a0 The techniques learned in Progressions One will help you provide the answer for yourself and others.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be honest with you\u2013Progressions One is not an easy course.\u00a0 You will be asked to look at\u00a0 charts in an entirely new way, and to rethink basic attitudes to aspects and angles.\u00a0 But I guarantee that you will never look at a chart in the same way again\u2013 and you will not regret it.<\/p>\n
