Any chance for an almost beginner like me (who understands the basics of astrology) to be able to learn how to do progressions? Would this article be sufficient? Any other sites?

I agree, it's my observation too.

Also, I realized that composite charts are extremely important too and they do tell a LOT about a relationship. It's almost scary how much. And not just the chart itself, but also the aspects that the composite planets makes with the natal planets/angles.

Linda Jones, go to astro.com, select Horoscope Drawings & Calculations, Extended Chart Selection and scroll down to "Progressions" in the bar. You can draw a chart just with progressed planets for any day you want or combined with the natal chart and transits.

Squares are evident in two ways in progressed synastry - first they prevent relationships from properly forming by keeping people apart and secondly they arrive in established relationships and drive couples apart. This article examines both phenomena by looking at romances which failed and were then rekindled and by looking at relationships which failed.

I want to say something positive about the progressed Sun/Venus (etc.) squares.

I think for some 'people/couples' it can be sort of a blessing to have the squares in their progressed synastry. Let's say if they're both not capable (by circumstances, past hurt etc.) to form a proper relationship and also both AWARE of that, but... with the big appreciation to see each other once in a while (the attraction-reality of the squares) and so to feel truly at peace with this form of unconventional connection. It can mean the WORLD to some people is what I mean

ps;

About my own case:
Lifelong (from the moment we met) we're burdened with Sun/venus squares and venus/mars squares.. not one positive nor opp. aspect between the biggies. Great!

another ps (later);

progressed planets/charts are more 'internal' changes, evolvements rather than 'events or external' matters. I don't read prog charts as stand alones it's more important to see where these planets are moving in the natal chart

Your natal chart is like a photograph as unique as your fingerprint, BUT the 10planets in the sky have not stayed where they were in your natal chart, they have all moved. Predictive astrology is mostly maths where those 10planets are now and the mathematical aspects they make to your natal charts ie: 180'=opposition, 90'=square, 60'=sextile and 120'=trine.

So your personality, grows, develops, changes, matures as we get older, this is reflected by your sun sign changing from it's natal position to the next sign along, so does your Asc and MC sign change. In fact from sun to mars especially are important, as the outer planets really don't move much, using a 'day for a year' secondary progressions.

What's the difference between Transits and Progressions?
“Transits are the planets currently orbiting in the sky and the relationships they form to each other and additionally, to your chart. Transits happen for everyone. They're important and effect you personally when they contact a planet or point in your chart. Transits represent outside energy, things happening outside yourself. They describe external events and your responses to them. Progressions, however, move very slowly and are a natural progression of your original birth chart. The events and emotions they describe are part of you, deeply ingrained in your psyche, internal, and psychological. And as they form aspects, these inner feelings start to become more important and central to your life” http://www.artcharts.com/learn_astrology/progressed.html

"I was going to give you some links but a kind member already gave you my links..."

Yes, and I've begun to check them out.

Thank you for explaining progressions so simply (coming "down" to my level of astrological info. is probably not easy

And the quote from the website for the diffce. bet. transits and progressions is the easiest to understand so far. They don't all explain it so well (including cafeastrology) So thanks for picking this one out.

"I love the parable, “If you give a man a fish, you feed him for a day, BUT if you teach him how to fish, you feed him for life.”

Yeah, I love it too, since it's true. So I hope you don't get annoyed w/ me for picking your brain for answers.

solar arcs & secondary progressions http://www.kepler.edu/videos/0902SolarArc/Stathis_SolarArc_Feb09.pdf

“2) The aspects formed by the progressed MC, ASC, Sun, and the planets (other than the Moon). These will indicate major trends for a year or more surrounding the date on which they become exact.” http://www.astrologymatch.com/progressed-chart.htm

The most important of progressed planets is of course, sun & moon and then upto mars, as the outer planets hardly move by progression. Now like with transits, solar arcs --- it's what these progressed planets are doing NOW by mathematical aspect to your natal planets and Angles that is ultimately important.
