What is a Progressed Energy Chart?
For a long time when I was first starting as an astrologer (back in 1941), I heard a lot of people talk about “progressed charts.” I learned about it back then, but it never really resonated with me…. UNTIL NOWWWW!!!!!!
Here’s how astrology and human design works for me:
Your chart is just a tool that helps me tap into my intuition. I fully believe that the types of charts I use, the readings I offer, and the areas of cosmic guidance I am drawn towards are purposeful in my own life path. I am drawn towards the things my clients need most at the time they need them. Meaning, I am never drawn to something too soon or too late. When I trust my intuition (and my 8-1 Channel in Human Design), I am always ALWAYS connected with the cosmic guidance that like 90% of my clients need.
So, about two months ago, I started getting the itch to explore progressed astrology again and when I dove into it, it was as if I downloaded alllll the info I need into my intuition all at once. This is such a powerful way of reading your chart and, like I always push in my classes/readings/etc, progressed astrology accounts for unique life experiences, free will, and shifted perspectives that differ from your natal astrology chart.
If you’re already sold, here’s a link to my newest mini-reading.
But if you want to learn more,
let’s go a little deeper into what progressed astrology means.
Your progressed astrology chart shows how your perspectives have shifted from your natal energy. It doesn’t mean you act or feel in a different way. It means you consider your actions and feelings in a different way.
Your progressed astrology chart can reveal your current karmic focus - the parts of you that are in a space of transition, turmoil, or growth.
It can explain why a transit that “should” affect you doesn’t feel as intense as expected... or vice versa.
Your progressed astrology chart will show the ways your spirit has grown and changed since birth and it can help you understand who you are and where you’re going based on the progression of your natal energy.
For example:
You may be born with a moon in Pisces, but after your life experiences (that can be matched to the transits throughout your life), your moon may now sit in a new sign, like the sign of Taurus. Remember - the progressed chart only shows a change in perspective and intention, it doesn’t show a change in action or emotion. So, your natal Pisces moon still gives you deep, intuitive, subconscious emotion guiding you through life, but your progressed Taurus moon will give you more boundaries around your emotional expressions and strength in your sense of self.
Each planet moves at a different speed through the cosmic chart and for many of them, it will only move 1º every 15 years, so unless you have a planet at the border of another sign or house, it may not change in your lifetime.
Your moon sign, sun sign, mercury sign, rising sign, and midheaven, however, will most likely shift a few times throughout your life.
Understanding the changes that these planets go through can help you understand your new strengths and lessons. It can validate the ways you’ve grown and it can give you a deeper sense of understanding and trust in your unique life path.
So, before even seeing your progressed astrology chart, you might have an idea of how you’ve changed. Can you notice any ways that your perspectives have shifted away from your natal chart? Do you notice your thoughts or actions going through a filter of another zodiac energy?
