Create a current progressed aspect profile

The word profile has several meanings: ‘a formal summary or analysis of data, often in the form of a graph of table, representing distinctive features or characteristics’ is one. (The Free Dictionary.)

Your chart’s list of progressed aspects, calculated by Aquarian Age computer technology for a date of your choosing, is a formal summary of your current progressions but only you can analyze the data. Only you know your character, current life circumstances and aspirations and they influence how your life unfolds chapter by chapter in response to the progressed aspects in your chart.

When it comes to your life your birth chart is your chief source of reliable self-information. The story it tells unfolds as thought-cells corresponding to the planets are stimulated by progression to use their psychokinetic power to attract new events and conditions.

So, the thought and feeling data provide by your objective consciousness is often misguided and faulty but your birth chart allows you to move to the precursor realm of unconscious thought-cell activity and personal truth.

The strength, functional status and house position of each planet indicate how your character has been formatted by previous experience and the aspects they form map harmonious and discordant thought-compounds that desire events so you can blame all your problems and difficulties on your misguided learning not the semisquare, sesquisquare, square and opposition aspects in your chart.

When discordant thought-cells mapped by a discordant planet are stimulated by a discordant progressed aspect they’ll work to attract an unfortunate event unless you take precautionary measures. And if your health is involved these measures involve corrective food and thought diets.

Your character has weaknesses mapped by your discordant planets. A discordant Moon inclines towards mental instability; Mercury to restlessness and faulty decision-making; Mars to anger, impulsivity and harshness; Saturn to fear, anxiety and selfishness; and Pluto to coercive control and a misguided belief in atheistic materialism.

If you’ve got a distorted sense of self-importance mapped by a discordant prominent birth chart Sun you have a serious character defect. Your misguided significance thinking is the devil in your soul and if you’re misusing your authority and making decisions that harm other people you will be held accountable.

If you have a west side chart your life will be powerfully influenced by events involving other people. They’re playing a crucial rule in how your life unfolds. But if you have an east side chart, you’re in a position to do your own thing and shape your surroundings. How your life progresses is all up to you.

Your life may be grounded in social relationships – partners, children, friends and associates – and they’ll play a key role in what you want to do so you’ll need to pay close attention when their associated thought-cell desires are stimulated to attract events.

When you discover your reason for being it may become your central life activity and its associated intelligence and ability will develop in response to progressed aspects involving specified planets and houses.

When you have a clear understanding of the life your birth chart scripts; and a thorough understanding of the nature of each progressed aspect you’re in a position to create a purposeful profile of your current progressed aspects.

Create a current progressed aspect profile

Your progressed aspect profile should focus on key data that’s influencing your life in the immediate future, especially those aspects that reach peak power during the coming 12 months. Your objective is to develop a clear concept of what’s going on in your life right now and in the immediate future and to work with the data to produce a best possible outcome.

You can categorize your progressed aspects as important and relevant, unimportant and irrelevant, harmonious or discordant and short or long-time.

You may choose to focus on the progressed aspects involving your dominant planet as playing a significant role in your life rather than those involving your non-prominent/weak planets.

A progressed trine or square aspect to your dominant planet is far more important than a semisextile or semisquare to your weakest planet.

You may choose to focus on the progressed aspects influencing the planets in your prominent houses. They indicate life-matters, activities and people through which important events can occur; and when a progressed aspect forms to a planet in a prominent house an event related to its department of life is destined to come into your life.

The thought-cell activity mapped by a prominent planet is very inclined to influence your conscious thinking and when it’s stimulated by a progressed aspect its unconscious and conscious thinking becomes very pronounced and this can reduce the potential of the unconscious and conscious thinking associated with a weak planet even when it’s stimulated by a progressed aspect.

Progressed aspects to your prominent planets indicate times when your mental and physical behavior will most strongly resemble their behavior.

Any type of progressed aspect to your dominant planet will stimulate its very active thought-cells to attract an important event. And weak planets, even under a powerful progression, have a correspondingly reduced capacity to attract an important event (of their type) into the life.

As you become more confident in your understanding of your progressions you may dismiss semisquare, semisextile and inconjunct aspects to your non-prominent planets as irrelevant. It all boils down to your understanding of the thought-cell activity involved and its potential to produce events associated with the houses it influences.

You need to know when each significant progression reaches peak power.

You may find that one particular prominent planet is involved in an unusually large number of progressed aspects which puts the focus on its thought-cell activity and house position.

A short-time progression has a 1-to-3-year time frame. If Mercury is travelling fast, it can be in and out of a progressed aspect with a birth chart planet in just over 12 months. A progressed aspect involving the Sun lasts 2 years. A progressed aspect involving Venus a little less; and a progressed aspect involving Mars around 3 years. Timeframes are determined by the speed/movement of the progression planet.

A long-time progression can last ten, twenty, thirty years – even a life time. Those involving prominent planets should be noted. The thought-cells ruled by the aspecting planets are being stimulated for the aspect’s duration.

You may find that a particular planet is unaspected by progression so its corresponding thought-cells are not being stimulated. They’re unable to attract a major event associated with their department of life.

With progressed aspects starting and ending your current progressed aspect profile is constantly changing. It will focus on new progressed aspects that start and those that reach peak power during its assessment period.

There’s no set procedure but your objective is to have clear understanding of what you consider are your most important major progressions: the planets involved, the thought-cell activity that’s being stimulated and its potential for fortunate or unfortunate events.

A progressed aspect stimulates unconscious desire and as you feel the tension your behavior seeks to satisfy the desire. Unconscious desire displays itself as your conscious mental activity: your thoughts, feelings and actions.

Progressed harmony to a harmonious planet indicates a time when you can mark up your expectations for personal growth and development through fortunate events; and progressed discord to a discordant planet indicates when your personal growth and development take place through mishap and misfortune.

It’s through new experiences that your soul acquires intelligence and ability or enhances what it has already developed. Experience educates your soul allowing it to develop new skills or improve those that already exist.

You can only do something well when you have the intelligence and ability to do it but high-level expertise doesn’t safeguard against mishap and serious difficulties.

Your life unfolds in response to the progressed aspects that form in your chart and your current progressed aspect profile considers all the important data you need to know about right now.  

Major Moon progressions

A major Moon progression involving a birth chart or progressed planet has a 2-month timeframe during which the thought-cells ruling your mentality and those associated with the aspected planet are stimulated.

So, you need to create a list of your major Moon progressions for twelve months starting now. They attract sub-major events.

The thought-cell activity set in motion by a major Moon progression has enough power to attract an independent sub-major event especially if the aspect is a conjunction, parallel, trine, square or opposition; but it has been regularly observed that a major event mapped by a short or long-time progressed aspect occurs when the major progressed Moon forms an aspect with one of the aspecting planets.

With an understanding of planetary energies, you can learn to use your major Moon progressions for a definite purpose.
