Someone recently educated me on how the Progressed Moon Cycle impacts the arch of events in life, including culminating successes, releasing the old, and planting new seeds.

I'm currently in a New Moon phase (sowing new seeds). I know this is a great "unknown" time ~ there's a thrust to do something, but it's still totally unknown what is going to gel and take root. Nevertheless, I'm trying to explore what might be good directions to sprinkle seeds in : )

At about 50 minutes into this one youtube video, they say the progressed moon aspects to the natal chart during this phase can impact which seeds gel.

(explanations from cafe astrology)
"new emotional environments require you to step up to the plate and swing at some new pitches, so don't expect the same old fastball down the middle. Keep an eye out for someone to throw you a curve - especially if that someone is you. Monitor your first reactions as they may not be your best. Have a plan B.

This is a time of change and challenge at the emotional level - particularly where home and family matters are concerned. You need to identify situations that aren't working for you, especially any that leave you feeling insecure or frustrated: these are the things you need to work on now.

Progressed moon square or opposite Saturn: It may be hard at times to separate unfounded fears from healthy paranoia, but in either case it will be difficult to throw caution to the winds for a while. Although you may generate delays, better safe than sorry, as long as you avoid gratuitous blame in the process. If it doesn't taste right, send it back.

Progressed moon opposite Neptune - emotional confusion can be the result of feelings that fall in and out of focus, situations arise where it's hard to put your finger on just how you want to respond. If you're not sure where you stand, let things go until you are on firmer ground and have tested the changing waters. When tides are changing, wait for them.

Progressed moon sextile or trine Pluto -
Taking firm but non-confrontational stands on how you feel about issues will not only give you the upper hand but create a following. Quiet faith in your position says more than a thousand verbal arguments, so simply proceed like you know you're in the right and your stream will become the mainstream.

Financial opportunities are there for the finding and taking now, particularly where real estate is concerned (but also other areas connected with home and domestic items). Finding out what people want and need, and then making sure you get a piece of the action in giving it to them, is the key to success now. A good time to investigate ways to improve health and diet.

Interestingly, my Progressed Moon is conjunct my natal Chiron (at present, it is 5 degrees after Chiron in Gemini)

The video I mentioned before said that aspects with the new moon from the natal chart (maybe especially a conjunction?) might influence the following cycle. I'm wondering if this might be true with Chiron? As a mentor/guide/jack of all trades/crafter/hunter / healer?

Grateful for any feedback!

I've definitely felt an overall shedding of my prior career and educational path (arts and music)... I've been called more towards health as a path. I'm grateful for any input or feedback.
(I started to pursue massage therapy but decided to pause it, almost complete with a yoga certification, and am also drawn to nutrition and relate to the domesticity description (started working as a caregiver)... - I'm half way through the new moon phase, Dec 2021 - Sept 2025)
