Your birth chart maps predispositions not precise events but if you allow yourself to drift on the winds of fate, exerting little intelligent control over your thinking and external circumstances, you’ll experience the events and conditions your birth chart reckons.
Hermetic astrology deals with the activity of character factors and their stimulation by astrological events at definite times that can be predetermined.
Progressed aspects supply thought-cells with energy. They influence your behavior and use psychokinesis to attract events. And as you can change your thinking and environment events are not foreordained.
Birth chart knowledge is crucial when assessing progressed aspects. It reveals the strength and functional status of the thought-cells that are being stimulated when you were born.
You have a backstory and birth chart knowledge and real-life experience allow you to know how the planets and houses are working out in your life.
When assessing a progressed aspect don’t expect to precisely predict the exact time and nature of the event it maps. And as you apply astrological information – mental alchemy and environment management – you’ll find it will become more and more difficult to predict definite events.
Your starting point is the planets making the aspect.
Your birth chart reveals that the energies of each planet have a specified volume or power, harmony or discord and they’re acting on and reacting to a specific environment through you.
When stimulated a planet’s energy may work out in terms of a physical event, a new or different mental state or viewpoint, or a new or different emotional condition. It may bring a new or different moral (spiritual) condition or, as more often happens, it may bring a combination of all these factors.
To benefit from your knowledge of progressed aspects you should know, within a narrow a limit as possible, the events, one or more of which is likely to happen during the period dominated by their timeframes, if you take no intelligent effort to alter what is indicated.
You must carefully gauge the harmony or discord of the thought-cell activity stimulated by a progressed aspect. It’s exerting pressure on your environment.
Environmental resistance to an event must be carefully gauged too.
This precision in estimating the likely event a progressed aspect will map, is a prelude to deciding just what precautionary actions you should take to make the event you actually attract much more beneficial than it otherwise would have been.
You should use birth chart knowledge and your knowledge of progressed aspects to take advantage of favorable events or prevent disagreeable events by bringing to pass events which are more fortunate.
Hermetic astrology of itself won’t heal sickness or bring better fortune. But you can use its knowledge and take actions which will benefit you.
To benefit from Hermetic astrology, you must know the best thing to do under each progressed aspect, and then do it.
You can gain tremendously in spirituality, happiness and prosperity through taking the proper precautionary measures relative to the progressed aspects and the events they map in your birth chart.
When doing your own chart and making personal predictions you have the power to modify your habitual thought-trend and environment. If you do not care for a particular event that your chart indicates, you can direct your efforts towards attracting a more desirable event. You can apply mental antidotes, conversion and environment management to produce a better outcome.
You have the ability to select the road you travel over and if it gets a little rough you can manage the situation by taking proper precautionary measures to minimize risk.
A house where three or more planets are located indicates a department of your life having a high-level of thought-cell activity; and if several progressed aspects influencing its department reach peak power around the same time each can be considered as influencing one particular major event.
A harmonious progressed aspect to a house indicates a favorable inner-plane weather event influencing its life-matters.
A long-time progressed aspect lasting many years stimulates the thought-cell activity associated with the planets for the aspect’s duration.
View the energy being provided by the planets as potential fuel to be used. And when Mars is providing the energy, you don’t have to speed through life and drive like a maniac. No matter the energy you have the intelligence and ability to control it.
At all times you have the ability to select the road you will travel on.
If you look ahead and see that it will be raining on a certain date, you need not feel fated to get your feet wet. Progressed chart knowledge guided by intelligence will show you how to adapt yourself to the inclement weather without suffering too severe consequences.
