Secondary Progressions is a predictive method which moves the entire natal chart forward one day for each year of life. Solar Arc Directions are based on the progressed Sun, advancing all positions at the same rate, about one degree a year. What are their applications and their limitations? How do we coordinate progressions and directions with other methods like transits and solar returns?

This course is open to all Intermediate Astrology Students. We’ll be using an ephemeris to track significant progressions early in life and to determine when in a year a significant progression will take place for somebody – this is the Adjusted Calculation Date.  We’ll also track the diurnal course of the Ascendant and Midheaven degrees to determine the rate of progressed angles.  We’ll also interpret Moon phases by secondary progression and use semi-squares and sesqui-quadrates for Moon phases and solar arc direction.

Participants are encouraged to work with secondary progressions and solar arc directions from their own charts and lives, or those of family and close friends, or historical or contemporary people they know well.   After our fifth meeting, students are encouraged to make their own presentations that apply secondary progressions and solar arc directions

Weekly Topics:

  1. Role of secondary progressions and solar arc directions within the history of predictive technique.
  2. Interpreting planets’ changing of signs and direction and aspects perfecting by secondary progression.
  3. Progressing Moon in context of natal placement, progressed lunation cycle.
  4. Differences in technique and interpretation between secondary progressions and solar arc directions.
  5. Development of secondary progressions and solar arc directions over the last hundred years.
