Progressed charts are calculated by adding one day for each year you are born to your natal chart. For example, if you were born on January 1, 1980, and you are now 25 years old, your progressed chart would be calculated by drafting a chart for January 26, 1980. Progressions show trends which set off major events in your life, and are reinforced by the transits you are experiencing at the time.​

One of the most reliable indications in the progressed chart of meeting a new mate is to track the aspects your progressed Venus makes to planets in your natal Chart, as well as progressions to your natal Venus by other planets. Here are some progressions which indicate the beginning of an important relationship.

Progressed Venus to Ascendant/Descendant axis:

The Ascendant/Descendant axis represents the "self" and the "other". The Ascendant represents our self-image and how we approach the world, while the Descendant represents our one-on-one partnerships, including marriage partners and business associates. When progressed Venus makes an aspect to our AC/DC axis, we feel more sociable, attractive, and loving, which helps us attract partners into our lives. The same goes for when progressed Ascendant aspects one's natal Venus. For example, I met my first boyfriend when progressed Venus was sextile my natal Ascendant.

Progressed Venus to natal Sun:

This is one of the most reliable indications of the beginning of a major relationship. This is often the time when we meet the "love of our life". This is also true of progressed Sun aspecting one's natal Venus. Both progressions indicate a time where we feel most attractive, and thus our powers of attraction are most potent. This is often the time we meet our marriage partner. This is especially true of the conjunction.

Progressed Venus to natal Moon:

This progression brings about a loving relationship which is often characterized by feelings of dependency, mutual support, and emotional development. The conjunction, sextile, and trine bring generally pleasing, supportive contacts, while the square and opposition often bring resistance and adjustments in regards to the direction of your relationship. The same goes for progressed Moon to Venus contacts.

Progressed Venus to natal Mars:​

​

​This progression often brings about an intense, sexual union. Passion is at the forefront of your relationships. This can also indicate a time in which you meet the person you have children with. Your appetite for sexual love is strong, so make sure not to ignore your deeper needs in favor for sexual enjoyment.

Progressed Venus in Aspect to Natal Jupiter:

This progression often brings about partners from a foreign culture, or meeting someone abroad. This also indicates a positive time for socializing and making new friends. Events like marriage are likely to take place during this progression. The same goes for progressed Jupiter on one's natal Venus.

Progressed Venus in Aspect to Natal Saturn:

This progression can bring about heavy commitments, and/or relationships with older, mature partners. This time is wonderful for beginning long-term relationships, or formalizing your commitment to your sweetie. This is especially true of Venus conjunct, sextile, or trine one's natal Saturn. In fact, my mother met my father when Venus was conjunct her natal Saturn. My father is 12 years older than my mother.

​

The square and opposition tend to have the opposite effect; it is a time of loneliness and disconnect from others. Loneliness, diminished self-confidence, and social isolation are characteristic of this progression.

Progressed Venus in aspect to natal Uranus:

This progression brings non-traditional, exciting relationships into our lives. We reject convention and tradition under this influence, so this transit can also be an indication of separation from a partner in favor of a more exciting, yet unstable, relationship. This is a time where your love life takes a "walk on the wild side" with someone different than what you're used to. For example, your new mate could be from a different cultural background, or you may begin a long-distance relationship. Hard aspects between progressed Venus and Uranus are especially indicative of (sudden) separations and meetings.

Progressed Venus to Neptune:​

​​

This progression can indicate the time when you find your soul mate. Your sensitivity and compassion for others increases during this time, and you feel more open to love in general. If the progression is a square or opposition, you may be deceived or disillusioned by a mate. The trine and sextile are generally positive times. Marriages often occur under this influence.

Progressed Venus to Pluto:​
