I recently looked at my progressed Moon signs over the years, and was amazed at how accurately they fit certain time periods of my life:Progressed Moon in Sagittarius (2-3 years old)- Don't remember much except that I was quite a handful at this time!
Progressed Moon in Capricorn (4-5 years old)- I ironically progressed from a nearly uncontrollable kid to a very well-behaved kid here.
Progressed Moon in Aquarius (1st-2nd grade)- The actual beginning of my school years as I could pronounce even the toughest words correctly as well as spell by the time I was 4! Was a great student during this period, but featured my rebellious side a little... in 1st grade I asked if I could go to the bathroom, only so I could REALLY just wander around the campus, and in 2nd grade I did things such as coloring all over my desk and bringing sand from the playground and actually storing it in the desk, to which I got caught, and also threw people's backpacks on the roof and followed a group of people around just because they looked interesting to me. And in 3rd grade, though my progressed Moon was in early Pisces, I began the year kicking people because I discovered Beavis and Butthead that summer, which I wanted to check out because of the name "Butthead" (I was even allowed to watch the marathons of this show, and I NEVER got the jokes until 6th grade so I wasn't going around saying "Huh huh. You said wiener" or anything like that as my innocent 8 year old self was REALLY thinking they were talking about hot dogs!). I never got in serious trouble for any of that stuff and stopped as soon as I knew it was wrong!
Progressed Moon in Pisces (3rd-4th grade)- The major event of this period was my first crush... when I was 8! This was a period when I was very sympathetic and emotional...
Progressed Moon in Aries (5th grade-early middle school)- This was a period when I got into pretty much every sport and basically anything that featured physical violence, and this was also a period where my temper was at its absolute worst.
Progressed Moon in Taurus (middle school-freshman year of high school)- This was a period when I became very lazy in school, though in the second half of this I got out of my funk (still loved just being comfortable and having a good meal at this time though!).
Progressed Moon in Gemini (freshman-junior years of high school)- Quite an adventure, as when I heard my mom talking to her boyfriend about gang areas, I asked my mom before bed what cities were "bad" and which weren't. This led to me being on a mission of sorts to find out all the bad areas in every city in my area that summer, when we were looking for a new house for him, and my sophomore year of high school I took it a step further and took the bus to research these areas in person! Typical Moon in Gemini mixed with natal Sun in Gemini, using public transportation to fill my inner need to learn about that stuff!
Progressed Moon in Cancer (senior year of high school-early college)- Nothing notable (outside of graduating high school) except that we had A LOT of family dinners with my mom's boyfriend and the family of one of his sons, who were my neighbors at the time. The only "Cancer" stuff that happened at that time (my progressed Sun has been in Cancer for a few years and I still don't feel much of that energy).
Progressed Moon in Leo (late college)- No, I wasn't a "showoff" or felt a need for attention during this period, but I felt a need to reconnect with my inner child and went back to the places I had ties to as a child. That's pretty much it.
Progressed Moon in Virgo (early 20s)- Another adventure... first, I began recycling as a way to make extra money (VERY Virgo), and later on in the period, I discovered one of my hobbies and passions, gang mapping. I have maps of all the gangs in California and neighboring states online in Google Maps (they're public and easy to find, though I only really found out their territories during this Virgo Moon progression. My Gemini Moon progression wanted to know where the bad areas were, but the Virgo Moon progression got me to find out the specific boundaries).
Progressed Moon in Libra (mid 20s)- This is the period where I began getting into astrology, to find answers about why I am the way I am and make me more at peace with myself (I also found out sites about the afterlife such as near-death.com and Channeling Erik, in order to find the real truth, also in order to bring peace to myself). I had numerous parties with my friends during this period as well.
Progressed Moon in Scorpio (present)- Where it is right now, as well as my natal Moon sign which intensifies it. Here's where I basically got even more serious about astrology, analyzing the charts of everybody I knew or even came across to find patterns in regards to the energies of the signs (the beginning of this period, last year, was when I was obsessed with Pluto/Neptune generations). I became even more serious with the political ideology patterns in people's charts as well as predicting the outcome of sports events based on the chart of the events (I dabbled in this stuff when progressed Moon was in Libra but I mastered it during Scorpio). This period has also began my interest in other metaphysical subjects (numerology, astrotheology... the tarot site I found was during Libra as well as the forensic astrology) and have found numerous metaphysical/spiritual sites (In5d, Waking Times, Wake Up World, Zen Gardner). I also began getting into conspiracy theory stuff as well.
VERY interesting how certain things I was interested in fit where my progressed Moon was at the time, and how much stronger it was in certain signs (Gemini, Virgo, Scorpio especially, which are also my Sun, rising, and Moon signs). I'm wondering if it's the same way with any of your progressed Moon periods?
