Can you use SA the same way you use sec.pr?
Are they effective on their own, or should they be used with the sec.pr?

Progressed Sun moved into Gemini last year, to conjoin my Gemini planets and now square Pisces Mars, I guess - or it will do that soon. Progressed Venus is conjunct Pr. Saturn and was conjunct the natal one... progressed mars moved into Aries last year.

1984 SA pluto squared my N mars,SA mercury conj SA uranus squared my N venus. I divorced and marriage at the same time. My son was born this year also with my first husband.

1991-94.. PR/SA sun conj my N mercury conj N uranus and PR mercury was in retro conj N mercury conj N uranus= I was on the university and get through hard studies. I also on the same time rised my children and build a house togheter with my second husband.

1998 SA/PR sun conj N pluto. Divorced and got a new better job in another country.

2002-2003. SA Sedna conj N moon. My exhusband died and I took my children and moved 50 miles from my home town. I was really poor. I had nothing. We start our new life from a little flat on the bottom of a house. Now my children got their educations and well paid jobs.

2010-11 PR venus conj N AC conj N Sun. Nice time. I got my new relationship and my new house.. Good time everything feels ok also with my children and parents...

However, other astrologers might favour one over the other.

same here. That is why solar arcs are gold in rectification (esp. if the birthtime is approximately known).

I have been fascinated with converse progressions, but never found anybody to use them. What are your experiences with them?
They seem kind of important for me now, as I will have a Sun-Venus-conjunction by converse progression

It will be precise in august 2016, but has just moved into the usual one degree orb (it is at 0°46 a now).

I am not sure how to interprete converse progressions though (this conjunction of mine is now at 16-17 Scorpio - some time ago there was the transiting nodal axis going over it and my SA Pluto is at 18 Scorpio with SA MC at 14 Scorpio).

I use Converse only for confirmation and for timing, not as a predictive technique alone. For an event to occure, I like to see things happening in each one of the forementioned charts. Since all natal planets and angles in SA are arched together, it's very important to watch a natal stellium approaching an activation via SA. If, for example, one has a Sun/Venus/MC natal conjunction, watch carefully this stellium and see when it will be arched to make an important hard aspect, preferably a conjunction to an angle or another planet in the natal or the SA chart, preferably the natal chart.

If SA and Progressions are active, i fast forward to see when the transits will kick in to time in the event. There MUST be transits to work with the SA and the Progressions. No transits - no action. Then, lastly, I check the Converse to see how it is doing amidst all this. The angles of the Converse were activated by converse or natal planets most of the time (about 90%) during a major past event in my life.
Converse progressions does not affect attitude or change emotional response, like Secondary Progression does. I use it only as a confirmation and a timing indicator. It's all about SYNCHRONICITY which i believe in.
