Your life consists of a few important, sometimes exciting, major events; a large number of minor events; and an even larger number of inconsequential events: trivial happenings that seem to serve no useful purpose.
A major event is an event that changes your life profoundly. It’s mapped by a major progressed aspect and is usually remembered as being significant long after it occurs.
A progressed aspect is a chart reference. It maps a temporary thought-compound that acts as a stellar-aerial for picking up planetary energy. It has a long-time frame during which the thought-cells corresponding to the aspecting planets can demonstrate a major event that reflects their desires and how they feel.
The aspecting planets depict thought-cell groups in your unconscious soul mind and when a prominent thought-cell group mapped by a prominent planet is stimulated by progression something out of the ordinary is sure to occur.
A new experience opens the door to further develop your character.
Your character consists of ten dynamic thought-cell groups. They’re mapped by the planets in your birth chart. The functional status of their thought-cell desires can be harmonious or discordant.
Harmonious thought-cell activity works to attract favorable events. Discordant thought-cell activity works to attract unfavorable events; and if you do nothing to change your discordant thought-cell activity it will continue to attract mishap and misfortune.
Your character development is your responsibility. No one can do it for. And it’s quite unwise to continually engage in destructive character-behavior traits.
One of the highest functions of Hermetic astrology is to provide information on how you can train destructive thought-cells within your soul to attract what you want rather than what they want.
You should make effort to harmonize the discords within your finer astral body mapped by discordant planets and aspects.
Don’t wait for misfortune to arrive. Start now to recondition the discordant thought-cells so that they will desire and attract only fortunate events, or at least those far more fortunate than had you made no such effort.
Your progressed chart allows you to track major, minor and transit progressions aka inner-plane weather conditions and the activity of thought-cell desires within your soul.
It provides insight into what’s going on beneath your objective awareness: you’re not-conscious thought-cell activity that’s using its psychokentic power to influence you conduct and place you in an environment that facilitates the event is desires.
Progressed aspects allow you monitor not-conscious thought-cell activity and how it’s inclined to influence your life and living.
Progressed aspects provide opportunities for character development.
Progressed sextiles and trines bring the opportunity to move forward applying whatever abilities you have developed. You have to take advantage of their benefits. Your character develops through outside accomplishment.
When a sextile aspect forms in your progressed chart the universe is offering you an opportunity. Hermetic astrology advises you grab it.
Progressed squares and oppositions bring an opportunity for character building through painful experience. They’re nature’s insurance against stagnation.
As the planets, ascendant and Midheaven progress they move into new signs and houses.
When a planet progresses into a new house its corresponding thought-cells experience a shift in focus; and they’ll now work to attract events associated with its life-matters and activities.
When your ascendant progresses into a new sign your personality undergoes a shift in attitude reflecting the nature of the sign.
One of the most powerful progressed aspects is when a planet changes motion and goes back over its birth chart position.
As your planets progress they change their decanate positions. The decanates occupied by the progressed Sun, Moon, ascendant and Mercury in particular give your life special trends that contribute to the development of your character aka intelligence and ability. You should keep tabs on the decanates occupied by your progressed Sun, Mercury, ascendant and Moon.
When a birth chart or progressed planet is involved in a progressed aspect its corresponding thought-cells experience an increase in activity.
Each thought-cell group has a normal amount of power and harmony or discord and a progressed aspect gives it a boost and causes its mode of expression to deviate.
From your current birth chart and progressed aspects you can predict what events will be present in your life.
You can predict that events characteristic of certain planets will be present and that they will affect one or more departments of life indicated by the houses ruled by the aspecting planets.
You can predict that conditions will be more fortunate, or less fortunate than usual and that the events attracted will be more important or less important than the average.
These predictions can be made from the astrological indications alone; with no special knowledge of your past conditioning or your present environment.
But from the astrological energies alone you cannot definitely predict either the specific event; the particular house of your chart aka department of life it will chiefly affect; or its importance or fortune or misfortune from a societal perspective.
You cannot definitely predict these things because they are not determined exclusively by your physical environmental conditions which are not mapped in your chart.
In considering these events and conditions you must not only factor in your birth chart and progressed aspects, but also the manner in which you have been conditioned since birth by events, and your current physical environment.
To make definite statements regarding your suitability to follow a definite vocation, your predispositions toward definite diseases, and to progressed aspects indicating specific events, you must also factor in your conditioning and current environment.
Your conditioning – previous education through environmental impacts – and your physical environment at the time, have a decided effect upon the specific event, the particular house of your chart it rules, its importance, and the good fortune or misfortune associated with it.
You need to know that the application of mental antidotes can modify the energies reaching your thought-cells from a progressed aspect.
You cannot prevent astrological energies from reaching and increasing the activities of certain thought-cells of your unconscious mind. But through conditioning and environment you can markedly alter the nature of the events which come into your life.
You can quite definitely apply progressed aspect knowledge, mental antidotes and environment management to attract more fortunate events and enhance your success, happiness and spirituality.
