1 year of life = Asc moving 1.5 degrees on average. It takes you Asc 6 minutes to move 1.5 degrees in real time. Yet 1 year of life for the standard method ALSO equals the planets movements in 1 day; 24 hours. In 24 hours Sun moves 1 degree, Moon moves 13.5 degrees, Saturn Moves 2 minutes, etc.
Why would your mind be calculating/progressing your ascendent 6 minutes yet the planets 24 hours.
Why for 1 year of life would your mind adapt to your ascendents shifting of 6 minutes in real time, yet the planets separately for how far they moved in 24 hours. Why is your mind magically accounting for your ascendent and the planets posititiong at different paces in a progression? It doesn't sound right. That chart never existed in reality.
There's no real reason why your brain would somehow do this. There's nothing magically or different about the ascendent that would make your brain do that. The brain is adapting to REAL positions in REAL time.
So for a day for a year method your ascendent shifts 20 degrees, lets say from 5' Cap to 25' Cap. This is where your Asc was 1 hour 20 minutes right when after the baby initially opened its little brain to existential formation in the here. in one sign yet all the other planets shift by the amount of degrees they moved in 20 days. That chart never existed. Your ascendant actually changed signs and rotated 240 times.
There's no reason to think your ascendent progresses separately than the rest of the planets.
It's just the only thing that seemed like it might make sense to first astrologers. That your first year of life would be equivalent to the chart of your first day of life. There is no correlation. Besides if you stayed indoors when you were born with the lights on the entire time, there would be no sense of a day ending. Your brain wouldn't be like "This is the end of a day, This will synchronize exactly with the end of year." It seemed believable to the first astrologers trying to figure stuff out.

Plus as I already said, the first 5 seconds is 1000x more powerful than the first minute for a baby. It's taking in 1000x as much information in those 5 seconds than it does in the first minute. The first 5 seconds is taking in 100000000x more information than the 30th day, which the standard progression method actively uses the 30th day.
I'm saying the first few to several hours, is your progressed chart. It's very simple to calculate, if your 13, times that by 1.5 = 19.5. Now find the time minutes after birth that your ascendent moved 19.5 degrees and thus all the planets shifted 19.5 degrees over in the houses (not signs). This would be your progression method technique to try it out and see where it takes for you to go
The first astrologers did get it right that you whole chart progresses 1.5 degrees though. Just only through the houses.
For me personally I know the most profound change of my life occurred when I was 20. For some reason I felt very weak, depressed, like I could barely move or think. At 20 your chart should progress by 30 degrees on average is what we currently think. But your chart may only progress 20 degrees in that time. Because I know for a fact that is when my Sun progressed above the horizon.
