![]() This means that by solar arc all the objects progress at the same rate (1° for each year) while in secondary progressions the differing motions of the planets produce different rates or speeds of progressions – 30 days after you are born the Moon will have gone all the way around the chart once, while Saturn will have hardly moved at all and the Sun will have moved 30° or one sign. Solar arc progressions are a related but simpler form (in the sense that they are much easier to figure out) because the objects in the chart are simply moved forward 1° for each year – 1° being the rate at which the Sun travels each day, hence the name. Secondary progressions are today the most popular of the two techniques. The unfortunate consequence of this, however, is that we are forgetting how to generate them without computers, and so in my book The 26 Keys I explain these calculations in detail. To obtain fully accurate dates for when these years begin astrologers in the past needed to make frequently confusing and error prone calendrical adjustments, but computers are taking over this heavy lifting now. In other words, to know the secondary progressions of your 30th year we look for the positions of planets 30 days after you were born. In secondary progression, the one I use most, the positions of objects in your natal chart are symbolically moved according to the following: the positions of the planets 1 day after you are born describe the progressions of your first birthday, age 1, 2 days after is year 2, 3 days after is year 3, and so on. There are two main techniques for progressing the objects in a chart, one called solar arc progression and one called secondary progression. For those unaware, while transits are what we call the influences that arise from the current positions of objects in the sky and how they interact with your natal astrology, progressions are symbolic movements of your natal objects representing their growth and inner development. The reason for this is that progressions are somewhat harder to generalize about – they are far more personal – and more technical to explain. The 5 previous Journeys that focus most heavily on this topic can be found by following the links at the end of this one, and I will only be repeating some of that information here for fresh eyes. ![]() ![]() ![]() While I have made many explorations of transits in the 10 years I have been sharing these Journeys with you, I have not said much in comparison about progressions. ![]()
