I've recently began trying learn more about progressions and my progressed moon has been in Virgo for the past 2 years. They haven't been the most enjoyable. My first year of college was great (progressed moon in Leo)but then I moved back to my home state for practical financial reasons and have spent these past 2 years being extremely neurotic about practicalities, always stressed about school, taking ridiculous amounts of credits and working as well. My progressed moon is also in 3rd house, and yes education has been completely consuming my life lol. In the end I'm glad I've put so much effort into it, but this workaholic attitude is not something that's usually part of my personality. I only have 5 more months till my p. moon moves into Libra, and I am looking forward to it.

Good to know Aqua Moon is good. I could use some detachment though I think I still need some sinking first. Damn.

Another very difficult phase had pr Moon in Aries opposing Pluto and squaring natal Venus. But at that same time Tr Saturn was opposing natal Moon.

Very happy phases had Moon in Virgo (never would have expected THAT; but during that phase pr Moon was opposing pr Jupiter). and pr Moon in Pisces.

pr Moon in Taurus on my 5th house cusp opposing Uranus was a VERY carefree time as well.

Right now, I am very against dating and find myself being very critical of men... and just disgusted by their habits! In the romantic and intimate sense that is. I've also gotten into some pretty bad power struggles with a few men in my life at this time. I just broke off a serious long connection with a family member who has many Taurus placements as well, for the most part, since I was just suddenly tired of it and couldn't take their fake attitude anymore. Besides that, I've also cut out a few other draining family relationships in my life - and I took a stand for the first time in years and called out a psychotic person in my family who I felt love-hate towards and was always too scared till now to talk to about their screwed up mental health.

Besides these intense emotional changes relating to relationships the BML-Moon conjunction in the 5th has also contributed to stellar creativity I've had over the past few months with painting and art, I think. But it's also made me very emotionally indecisive and questioning of my own decisions.

My progressed moon is also in conj to my Draconic nessus conj moon sep.

Ive saturn 3 degree in pisces also but no specifik event on the time the progression was exactly.

I feel the stress but nothing specific happened yet but I work more intense with everything..

I dont like when my moon progressed in a watersign but on this time it feels just for time ok.

I believe the pMoon functions on an axis. Themes from one sign will be picked up when moon progresses into the opposite sign. Pisces is my SN & Dsc. pMoon in Virgo, if I remember correctly was awesome. It should've marked my professional ascent, but I dropped the ball.

This current progression into Pisces is actually my second go round. First time out I was in my single digits. That moment in time propelled me atop of the class, I had the best friendships and considered it the essential me. For years thereafter, until about pMoon in Gemini, I hungered for a return. I used to think that life was taken from me. I was being silly, it was only a phase.

***I'm looking at my friend's FB profile pic. Instead of a pic, it's actually a mini movie: A little old lady is walking in a hotel lobby. Suddenly she's surrounded by six or so guys intent on taking money off her. She fights back, beating 'em with her purse. One by one they fall dramatically to the ground. Cute.

Flash forward to a private party. I'm in a room with friends celebrating the nuptials of the "the Queen" also there & also a personal friend. She was very happy and the atmosphere was joyous. As a thank you she went around handing out presents - cash it seemed.

Suddenly I'm at the door with the groom, also a friend, but he wasn't happy. Apparently he agreed to marry under one set of circumstances, but after the wedding learned something else. I tried saying it didn't matter & that he could always get an annulment or divorce. That didn't work. Next thing I know he kills everyone at the party, and was chasing after me. I wasn't afraid for my life, per se - though I was still running. I couldn't figure why he got so angry.

Now, I believe that they can be felt before that one degree applying orb (I would consider 2-3 degrees applying), but if it comes into the one degree orb, it becomes very focused and serious.

I also believe that you need some strong Transits to set off a progression, or else they will simmer in the background, colouring the athmosphere, but no event will take place.

Would you mind giving an example of a strong transit needed to set off a progression?

If it helps may I please give an example?

If Pr. Juno is 3 deg applying to the Pr. Asc. but is also directly opposed to Pr. 7H Saturn which is 3 deg applying to the Pr. Desc. (from what I've read this Saturn is supposed to magnify the significance of a relationship). Then what strong transit would trigger marriage or the desire for marriage in such a person as Pr. Juno and Pr. Saturn close in on the Pr. Asc./Dsc. axis?

In thirty-odd years of living, pSaturn has moved 3 degrees. It has been direct the whole time. I would guess pSaturn to n/pDsc would be too slow moving. Honestly, the Asc/Dsc axis is Ceri's domain.

I'm just beginning to understand progressions and I suspected as much that Saturn would be too slow moving. Which means that by the time Pr. Juno becomes exact on the Pr. Asc., it will be out of aspect with Pr. Saturn.

Yeah, that's why I thought Ceri would be the best person to ask about this example.

I haven't checked if Saturn in this person's chart is retro or not. Would you mind explaining what difference that would make?

Well, the Desc is the 7H cusp, or the demarcation point between the 6th house & 7th house. If Saturn is direct & in the 7H this means it's moving away from this point. Only a retrograde Saturn in the 7H can be applying to the Dsc or 7H cusp.

pMoon in Leo saw me picking up broken pieces and trying to regain self-respect, but something bad happened around 14deg. After that I became motivated again. I really love the fire energy added to my mostly Water & Earth natal chart.

"If Pr. Juno is 3 deg applying to the Pr. Asc. but is also directly opposed to Pr. 7H Saturn which is 3 deg applying to the Pr. Desc."
I saw your discussion with Nine about the DESC and Saturn separating or applying. Usually Nine would be right, if it was the NATAL DESC.
But in this case it is the pr DESC, which moves a lot more quickly than Saturn, and so it is actually the DESC that is applying to pr Saturn in this example. So yes this IS indeed an applying conjunction. I figure it will peak in about 3 years.

pr Juno might be conjunct pr ASC exactly a bit before that. Don`t know how quickly it is moving int he example chart.

Anyway,

"from what I've read this Saturn is supposed to magnify the significance of a relationship"
Yes, but....

(my favourite answer to all astrological generalizations. I know now very helpful ).

Yes, it magnifies the significance of relationships. But it does NOT necessarily mean that this will result in a consolidation of a relationship or marriage.
And it also does NOT necessarily mean that the relationship will fall apart.
It could be both.
STILL not helpful, I think.

The thing with Saturn is that before all he is a JUDGE. And he wants to get down to the real essential things, and we are talking about REAL in big letters.
What is REALLY important for your life? (not always what you think you want btw).

Saturn crystallizes, focuses. IT is like a magnifying glass, focused on a small spot. In this case relationships (indcated by moving through the 7th house and the aspect to Juno).
Since Saturn is moving slowly it might be possible that it was in 7th house natally, in this case a natal issue will "wake up", will be triggered, pulled from a dormant state into a very very acute state.

So this individual experiences Saturn focusing onto relationships. And Saturn weeds them out WITHOUT any regard for what the individual THOUGHT they wanted.
saturn basically checks if the relationship adds something valuable to one`s life.
When Tr Saturn was transiting my 7th house, my social circle became REALLY small.

Many relationships will break up under such a transit or progression. They will simply crumble and then break apart.
But those relationships that are REAL, that have a real FOUNDATION (that is something Saturn cares about, a foundation, a purpose),, may actually flourish and these are the ones that might get consolidated and lead into marriage after a thorough checking of the relationships solidity.
Will it be able to weather the ebb and tides of time?
(Saturn cares about lastingness, he doesn`t care for the romantic notion of soulmates very much. He cares about the individuals being able to function together as a team in the real world, a relationship that is not happening in the world of concepts and ideas, but here and now and for many years to come, so two people can build something together - earthbound soulmates so to speak. lol)

to be cont.

. Then what strong transit would trigger marriage or the desire for marriage in such a person as Pr. Juno and Pr. Saturn close in on the Pr. Asc./Dsc. axis?

If this is not a good example, please feel free to give your own. Thank you
