Here are the results of the study of two hundred charts progressed to the date of marriage. I asked ten questions of each chart and this page is the tally of the answers.The questions were put together from various sources. Both old and modern astrologers, as well as my own ideas, contributed to this compilation of questions, teaching how to see and predict a marriage from the progressed chart. I was interested in seeing solid clear results of astrology's ability to predict and understand this very important time in a person's life. After completion I have even more questions regarding fate, soulmates and regarding the inevitable coming together of lovers under the stars of their birth.

Note- in all charts I use only the major aspects (conjunction, square, opposition, trine and sextile), and small orbs.

1. Does the natal or progressed ascendant ruler aspect the natal or progressed descendant ruler?

145 yes answers (73%) show a likelihood of finding this in an individual's progressed chart at the time of marriage. Also 86 charts (43%) had more than one aspect, having up to 6 different aspects, that showed this connection between the first house and the seventh house rulers. The charts that did not have this often had an aspect between a planet in one of these houses, or between one of the planets in the house and the ruler of the other house or some other significant connection.

Here's how to find the relevant planets:

The natal ascendant ruler is the planet that rules the sign found on the ascendant. So if you have an Aries ascendant the planet that is the natal ascendant ruler is mars. In the same example the planet that is the natal descendant ruler is venus, through it's rulership of Libra which would be found on the seventh house cusp. The progressed ascendant ruler only applies if over time the ascendant has progressed into the next sign. Then one can compare the progressed ascendant ruler to the natal descendant ruler, and the natal ascendant ruler to the progressed descendant. A lot to keep in mind, huh?

Here's the worksheet I used to keep it straight.

ntl asc ruler, ntl position: ntl des ruler, ntl position:

ntl asc ruler, prg position: ntl des ruler, prg position:

prg asc ruler, prg postion: prg des ruler, prg position:

Look for a planet in the left row to aspect a planet in the right row.

2. Does the progressed asc/des aspect the natal descendant ruler?

49 charts (25%) had a yes answer to this question.

3. Does the progressed moon conjunct an angle of the progressed or natal chart?

124 charts (62%) had a yes answer to this question. The breakdown of which angle is as follows, in order of frequency:

ascendant-36 charts the descendant-33 charts the mid heaven- 32 charts the nadir- 23 charts The progressed moon is very important factor in reading the progressed chart. It's cycle around the chart is completed in 28 years, moving at the approximate rate of one degree every month of life. Once it conjuncts one of the angles of the chart then every seven years it will conjunct one of them. I also used the changing progressed angles, which would happen shortly after the conjunction to the natal angles. This is a factor to watch in regards to relationships, as well as many important events in a person's life. As an example of the seven year cycle Abbie Hoffman comes to mind. He had three different significant relationships in his life all being cemented at the time of the progressed moon conjuncting a different angle, every seven years.

4. Does the progressed or natal sun, moon, venus, or mars aspect an angle of the progressed or natal chart?

there were 194 charts (97%) that had a yes answer to this question. This is quite common and occurs at many other times besides marriage. Almost half (332 aspects) of the aspects recorded in this section were conjunctions between one of these planets and the angles. The kind of aspect and the planet and angle involved are outlined on an other page.

5. Does the planet in the seventh house, if any, receive aspects in the progressed chart?

There were 85 yes answers to this question. As only 103 charts had a planet in the seventh house most did have this indication. 18 charts did have a planet there and it did not receive a major aspect. (83% yes)

6.-10. Involve the frequency of aspects between the personal planets - sun, moon, venus, and mars.

6. sun and mars any aspect -78 yes answers (39%)

7. sun and venus any aspect - 73 yes answers (37%)

8. venus and mars any aspect -105 yes answers (53%)

9. moon and mars any aspect - 100 yes answers (50%)

10. moon and venus any aspect - 111 yes answers (56%)

70 charts had more than one aspect for each question.

The most common aspect showing up between these planets was the conjunction of the progressed sun to natal venus. Following that was the conjunction of the progressed venus to the natal sun. 24% of the charts had one of these aspects. The next most common pair was the moon and venus found in trine, followed by venus being in trine to mars.

The least common was venus and the sun being found in opposition. There weren't any charts that had this aspect in the study. Next was mars and venus found in opposition, and also sun and mars found in opposition. Only one chart out of two hundred had each of these.

On the following page the aspects are listed in order frequency.

All of the charts studied answered yes to, at the very least 2 ,questions. Most had between 4-6 yes answers.

2 yes- 7 charts

3 yes- 26 charts

4 yes- 48 charts

5 yes- 50 charts

6 yes- 46 charts

7 yes- 16 charts

8 yes- 6 charts

9 yes- 1 chart

The one that had 9 yes answers also did not qualify for question 5. jacq o'nassis- second marriage.


I will have all but one within the next two years.

I know. You just have to do it s-l-o-w-l-y.
What I did was do my progressed and natal chart, and then clicked the option to show the table for the progressed and natal aspects. That made it easier to see what was going on.


I wonder if it's true. I've heard of the pVenus conjunct nSun producing a great love or marriage, and this was 200 charts, so it seems like there could be some validity to it.

Diana,

very interesting study.

And it definitely confirms my own theories.

EDIT:

Which orbs did you use?
And did you only consider applying aspects or also separating ones?

I used very tight orbs - 2 degrees. They say you can only use wider orbs for the lights - up to 8 degrees, but I kept it at 2 degrees.

Gosh, I don't remember if I counted separating! I know I definitely counted applying.

Did you do a study on this?

8 degree orbs for progressed aspects?

Hmm, I wouldn´t consider those.


Anyway, no I didn`t do a study on this; but I was pretty fascinated with Paul Westran`s study on progressed synastry. It kinda ties in with your study,only that he looked at progressed synastric aspects (within 2 degrees).

I didn't use the 8 degree orbs either. They said you *can* use them, but only for the sun and moon.

Are you talking about the progressed composites or the progressed charts and as a synastry? What did you find? The way you wrote it, it seems like the latter.

Well I have pr. sun conjunct natal venus (2 deg separating already) and pr. mars conjunct natal sun and I have no such thing as wedding approachin. Natally mars is in my 7th house, so should be considered with desc ruler aswell.

My Moms progressed Moon was in Aries when she got married.

My Dad's Moon was to conjunct his natal Moon that same year(1 Degree Cap)

I think that when starting a new chapter, it makes sense for the Moon to be newly progressed in another sign.

I was looking for other signatures in my charts for the day of my marriage but i just checked to see the basic rules posted in the OP, and there it was - an exat sextille between the rulers of the 1st an 7th in the progressed chart - venus at 8'23 Scorpio, Mars at 8'47 Virgo.
Prog Moon on my prog ASC.

For him - an exat sextille between the rulers of his prog 1st and his natal 7th house - Venus at 5'41 Scorpio and Jupiter at 5'41 Virgo
Prog Sun on his prog ASC.
That was enough to show a marriage.
Amazing.

Ceri,

I didnt even notice those weak sextilles before. Turned out - a very pointy signatures for a marriage, because of rulership

Orange,

yes, I tend to downplay them as well, but turns out in your example we shouldn´t do that, at least not when they are in tight orb AND through rulership.

Having said that it`s funny but my pr Venus is actually sextile Mr Sag`s n Sun (0°50s) and his n Moon (0°50 a) and his n MC (0°30 a).

No I wouldn`t put too much emphasis on this, but it also struck me that we became sort of more communicative with each other just when my own pr Venus was sextile my n Sun within half a degree orb. I do think though that the reason for this was that maybe this natal progression indicatd me being more open in general, and it certianly helped in THIS case, too.


It`s nice at least. I still wouldn`t bet my money on a lone sextile, but who knows? Maybe it IS enough in some cases.

Let`s have a look at my parents progressions at time of marriage


my Dad
-----------
1. Does the natal or progressed ascendant ruler aspect the natal or progressed descendant ruler?


ntl asc ruler, ntl position: 18 Cap
ntl des ruler, ntl position: 17 Libra

ntl asc ruler, prg position: 5 Aqua
ntl des ruler, prg position: 17 Libra

prg asc ruler, prg postion: 3 Aqua
prg des ruler, prg position: 10 Libra


so n ASC-ruler (Mercury) square n DESC-ruler, Neptune

2. Does the progressed asc/des aspect the natal descendant ruler?

no


3. Does the progressed moon conjunct an angle of the progressed or natal chart?


not quite. But it been conjunct nDESC 7 months prior to the wedding. and was about 9 months before conjunct pDESC (and was on the exact solstice point of n DESC)


4. Does the progressed or natal sun, moon, venus, or mars aspect an angle of the progressed or natal chart?

no, but pASC was exact conjunct n Juno


6.-10. Involve the frequency of aspects between the personal planets - sun, moon, venus, and mars.

6. sun and mars any aspect -no

7. sun and venus any aspect - pVenus conjunct nSun (2 degrees applying)

8. venus and mars any aspect - no

9. moon and mars any aspect - no

10. moon and venus any aspect - pVenus square nMoon (2 degrees separating)

ntl des ruler, prg position: 11 Libra

prg asc ruler, prg postion: 29 Cancer
prg des ruler, prg position: 11 Libra


so no.


2. Does the progressed asc/des aspect the natal descendant ruler?

no.


3. Does the progressed moon conjunct an angle of the progressed or natal chart?

yes.
Pr Moon conjunct pr ASC (1 degree separating)


4. Does the progressed or natal sun, moon, venus, or mars aspect an angle of the progressed or natal chart?

pVenus square n ASC (2 degrees applying)
pMoon conjunct pASC (1 degree separating)
pMars sextile pASC (1 degree applying)
nMoon sextile pASC exact


6.-10. Involve the frequency of aspects between the personal planets - sun, moon, venus, and mars.

6. sun and mars any aspect -pSun sextile pMars (1 degree applying)

7. sun and venus any aspect - no


8. venus and mars any aspect -no

9. moon and mars any aspect -

How would you interpret the progressed desc. ruler with natal asc. ruler if they end up being the same planet (Venus)?
