The best way for me to explain is to use this example ...

When one of my karmic soulmates was fulfilling his karma with me it was showing in his progressed chart. The transits took care of when it would happen.

~lately... I've been exploring progressed synastry and composites lately as well, though it is hard to come by much information on applying the progressed options, they should work similarly, and with transit charts (draconic eh, though I don't look at those too often at all).

My progressed Moon is now just finally over my North Node (Natal NN 15* GEM, now Moon is 16*) I have Mars cnj p/nSaturn now, and nSun cnj pVenus. And, at long last... Libra Ascendant. (I find it strange that more aren't aware of the effects in their chart the progressions tend to have, I can pinpoint exactly when my Ascendant moved into Libra, but I'm sure having tPluto/tSaturn/tNeptune to natal and progressions have had an amplifying affect over the progressed transition. Still, maybe it isn't so noticeable when you have no voids, for instance, or have the next positions influence already in your natal... vs-vs --- but, even looking back, going through the shift of having virtually no air (void - NN/MC/Vx only) from triple Earth to triple Air, it really shows in everything, hindsight and at present.)

Certain things will make strange synchronized patterns through events too, one I can think of off the top of my head... my progressed Moon becoming cnj my son's Sun when he was born (along with sharing his North Node via progression) at the same while, my husband's progressed Sun was cnj my progressed Venus... coupled with transits which possibly could be read to describe the approaching birth of our late born (was due in early March actually) weeRam and shotgun wedding (April 2nd/June 2nd - 07). ^^; (pJuno trine husband's Psun cnj my pVenus, tJuno square his pSun cnj my pVenus lol; pComp Juno cnj our son's (my prog)North Node - 6th house *n7th)...)

@___@ it's confusing, even typing it all out... >.<; But, in any case, you have decide how to and if you like to incorporate them and when. But, I've found they're pretty invaluable, and definitely worth the trouble of investigating when you start feeling something is up. Since, usually - it shows in the t/p to natal somewhere... ^^

(I don't really refer to Solar Arc... ftr... one day... just not now.) ~___~;;;

I was looking ahead for the day my Moon becomes pCancer... it will cnj MC exact... lol *crosses fingers* my emotions better not bring me any publicity/attention... (but who knows, Mars will be in Sagittarius.... that'd be, ugh... interesting?)

It's like an American immigrating to France. He will always be American but he will acquire some French traits when it comes to lifestyle, language, food etc.

Progressions are just that, as a human being you progress & your character & personality changes. No human being stays the same since birth, everyone's personality evolves.

Yep, my sun progressed to Libra so I have even stronger Libran tendencies than at birth and my ascendant progressed to Scorpio and I agree, my personality is more powerful now than it was as a kid. Sadly, my Venus progressed into Virgo. Not my favorite placement. That's the downside to natal Venus in Leo. HOWEVER my weak, sad, afflicted Mars progressed into Capricorn and I agree, it just adds to my personal power, strength and vigor especially in my own home, it's in house 4 now where it is exalted by sign. Upside to having natal Mars in Sagittarius

The other planets however are much more complex. See, really, a progressed chart takes the time you've been alive and compresses it, adding that to your natal chart. So like, if you've been alive 20 years, it compresses that to more or less 20 days and adds that to your natal.

SO! The Moon naturally is in a completely different sign 20 days after you were born, right? It's the same with the rest of the planets - wherever they go after you were born is the path your progressed chart will take.

I think the influence of a progressed chart is quite subtle, it's not as in your face as with transits. And it's felt more when there's an actual tight aspect between progressed and natal chart, set off by a transit.

That sums it up pretty well.

I am new to this but my instincts say natal would be stronger just because they are natal. Otherwise, progressed charts would be the important ones and natal would be sorta neglected some.
