Progressions are the Transits made in the early days of your life.

One day equals one year of your life.

When I give you a Timeline, it has both on it.

What I personally like to do is put up a Quad-Wheel that shows Natal, Transit, Progression and Solar Arc; and just study it for a bit.

See what House has a predominance of activity going on.

(Solar Arc is another method of Progression. That's the one that moves each Planet One Degree per year.)

I have found both to be effective.

If you just open an Ephemeris to the page with your birthdate, you can learn a lot about the basic progress of your life.

I especially like to note Eclipses and Stationary Planets.

It takes two seconds.

Sometimes answering questions is the best learning tool.

That's how I found this.

(It sucks to wonder.)

How is that possible?

The big picture is your life is a solar cycle (12 months). Nine months is spent in womb, three months is spent outside. Roughly speaking everyone should live to 90 - 92 years.

So, when looking at a progressed chart we're looking at the position of the planets within those three months after birth. Depending on the age of reference, you'd count that many days from your birth.

Also, which one is used at what time?

Either can be used at any time. For starters look at your Progressed Moon. It is the fastest planet in your pChart, and tends to mark your life with these mini-epocs.

For a richer understanding of the pChart I believe it's best to familiarize yourself with THE LUNATION CYCLE (New Moon, Full Moon, etc...). From here you will want to look at the relationship between your pSun & your pMoon.

I'm not sure if I'm making sense, but I'm just trying to figure out when do you pull each one? Like what are you looking for specifically when you pull your natal chart and transits vs. when you pull your natal chart and progressions? That's the aspect I'm not understanding.

One school of thought pit them as rivals, different ways of looking at the evolution of a life. Another school says they're complementary; progressions is said to show the internal development of a person - the psychological completion of that which started in the womb, while transits show the external/environmental factors a person will face.

Either can be pulled up at anytime it all depends on which area of live you want to focus on.

Just wanted to input, my birth date is May 20, so I'm on the cusp of Taurus-Gemini. Interestingly, in Numerology, my three cycles are:

5 - Gemini
2 - Cancer
8 - Leo

It's interesting that each cycle in numerology follows my 3 corresponding Progressed Sun as it travels through my average 30 years of experience. Gemini relates to the desire for experience, freedom and the pull between spirit and matter. Cancer defines the 2 energy very well based on cooperation, balance, feelings, and harmony. I'm sure Leo will be great during the time when I can exude power, material wealth - maybe being an executive since I'm an entrepreneur??

You don't find Transits accurate, MsPrism?

Transits do work but they aren't reliable. Sometimes you feel something or experience something and sometimes you don't. My question always is "Will this transit manifest anything?"

I was totally gobsmacked when i saw the composite for the time when mr Sag totally surprisingly approached me during a show of his, some years ago. The whole day and night had been weirdly intense, with a strange set of energies, and most of all my mind creating strange images. lol

this was my composite with that event
