World leaders have birth charts and their characters define the way they lead. Their desire to lead politically (Sun) and their response to crisis events have been conditioned by previous experience. They’re getting on-the-job-training.
A major progressed aspect formed by a progressed planet and a birth chart or progressed planet has a time-frame during which the (conditioned) not-conscious desires corresponding to the planets are stimulated into activity. The planets have house associations and the not-conscious desire works to attract events involving the life-matters, activities and people ruled by these houses.
A major Moon progression involving a birth chart or progressed planet has a time-frame during which the not-conscious desire corresponding to the planet is stimulated. This can result in an independent sub-major (Moon-planet) event or a major event mapped by a major progression involving the planet.
