It’s relevant in transits though, because of the moon. I haven’t figured out how to do it, yet.
A possibility would be to create an event chart for a certain day, then make a synastry with your chart.

The real question is how can they be the same at the beginning and end of the year? Since in progressions each day of your original life gets its astrological movements projected onto the ensuring years.

The answer is that the standard method of doing secondary progressions (Naibod method) is arbitrary. It is superimposed by astrologers over nature.

Astro.com now offers the option of doing progressions correctly, as seen in nature's actual movements (global or in mundi rotation). You can find it down the Extended Chart Selection page and to the left as ARMC 361°/prog.day:

So there is no need for you to adjust the time (or place) of a progressed chart. Just employ the accurate way of calculating it.

According to who?
Not according to nature, the Earth that does this turning.

Isn’t the purpose of a progressed chart to show the evolution of the original natal or composite?

No one evolves that fast.

The purpose of the progressed chart is to move the chart forward in day-for-year fashion. Varying astrologers will interpret that varying ways.

A progressed Ascendant does not change your personality on any schedule any more than the progressed Moon changes you inner feeling nature every 2+ years. The natal chart shows where you have developed to up to this point. What you do to change is not dictated by the progressed chart, but by your choices and the way you live with the energies you are emphasizing in between life activities -- planetary lokas or sojourns .

When my Asc is originally in Scorpio, I won’t have next month the outlook of a Sagittarius.. but it does make sense that through out the years, my outlook becomes more positive and optimistic after actually experiencing life and gaining more confidence.
The slower movement thus makes more sense to me.

That's because you've placed astrological theory from humans above the movement of nature that forms the foundation of all of it. You cannot have an astrological 'common sense' that denies the tempo of the Earth's rotation or any other movement in nature that astrology is based on.

You've described vague theory by modern western astrologists who know little about the way astrology meshes with soul evolution. To learn that you have to dig into material like the Edgar Cayce readings and eastern variations on astrology.

Besides, the course of development you're referring to happens across the Lunar Nodes in your chart, not the zodiac. You don't become 3-4 different personalities or merely pick up the positive preferable qualities of the succeeding sign(s). It may not be necessary at all for a person born with Scorpio rising to start developing Sagittarius rising qualities at all in present lifetime. Nor is it due simply by order of the zodiac.

Look first at the nature of the movements. Then you can bypass the shortcomings of human theory about them.

When we make a choice of rising sign, it is for the full lifetime.
