This is for intermediate to advanced students and professionals interested in learning more about how progressed aspects work and how they can be used for rectification purposes.Many birth charts have internal rectifying metrics. They occur when slower moving planets make aspects to faster moving natal planets (or house cusps)culminating simultaneously with major life events that fit the energies of the planets and the geometry of the aspect. They can be used to correct an inaccurate Ascendant or simply to mark important windows of opportunity for personal planning. The most important and active progressed aspects are the ones closest to culmination. The importance of culmination of progressed aspects must first be understood before metrics will make sense. This is not generally taught in schools of casual cookbook pop astrology where the arbitrary 1° orb for progressed aspects is used. Noel Tyl does refer to culmination of progressed aspects within a linear time reference in his book Prediction in Astrology. Minor aspects are important in progression. Such "minor" progressed aspects when at or near culmination are not minor in effect, but are astrological energies that have moved into prominence in that person's life. Not all of these are displayed in the aspectarian of the program you are using. You have to examine and compare the planet positions very closely to find some of them. > Continue reading Internal chart metrics with links at end of article to real chart examples ------------------ The Declinations Guy Rising Sign Descriptions Energy Healing by request IP: Logged |

This article was helpful regarding progressions, particularly the quoted statement. I was under the impression that progressed aspects had to be major to mean anything, but this thinking may have come from me not having the amount of understanding necessary to interpret minor aspects. Regardless, I still think it would be helpful for me to look back at important life events to see if a minor aspect was active at the time.IP: Logged |

Rectification requires such a fastidious attention to detail that it's beyond my comfortable capabilities in astrology, so I'm very interested to check this out. The rectification of Sir Patrick Moore's chart you did in the link is great work! Very enlightening.IP: Logged |

wal2, thank you.And thanks for reading, Lerena. It took me longer than I'd like to admit to learn about the importance of culminated minor aspects in the progressed chart. ------------------ The Declinations Guy Rising Sign Descriptions Energy Healing by request IP: Logged |
