Looking at your progressed Ascendent can also be very helpful. The simple answer is the fast moving planets because these are the ones that will experience significant movement in our lifetime – by this I mean the Sun and Moon and to a lesser extent Mercury, Venus and Mars. So which planets and angles should we consider when looking at a progressed chart? The progressed planets are also in the second column of the planet table.

When you create a progressed chart you will see that the progressed planets are in green around the edge of the natal chart.

So how do you create a progressed chart? Watch the video below to find out. Progressions allow us to map out our stages of life and our shifting priorities, focus and needs.Īs an example the moon moves 12-14 degrees a day so in a progressed chart it would move 12-14 degrees from its natal position for each year of our lives. They help us to chart and understand the life cycles we are going through. Progressed placements don’t supersede our natal (or birth placements) rather they reflect the subtler, changes you might experience as you go through life. In this way each progressed planet represents our evolved needs relating to that planet. So one actual day’s movement represents one year of evolutionary growth. Progressions use the calculation of a day for a year – a day’s actual movement of the planet represents a year’s progressed movement in the progressed chart. Mecca Woods has described progressions as: “a ‘behind the scenes’ birth chart,” Progressions can give us an indication of the direction our life might take. For now, we suggest you make note of what star your Moon is in.Progressions (otherwise known as Secondary Progressions or Secondary Directions) are a symbolic representation of our natal chart as we grow and evolve through life. In addition, the chart shows another level of information as it has abbreviations for the star (Nakshatra) the planet is in and what quadrant (pada) within the star.

The chart below shows all your planets, what sign they are in and what degree they are in within the sign. The sign (rasi) that contains the abbreviation AS is your Ascendant (also called Lagna) and is considered your 'first house.' From the Ascendant, move around the chart in a clockwise direction to the next sign which is your 'second house' and so on, for all 12 of your 'houses.'Īs a starting point, explore what sign is your Ascendant, what sign your Sun is in, what sign your Moon is in. This 'map' of your chart is presented below. Vedic Astrology differs from Western Astrology, so if you have had your chart done in Western Astrology, it is possible that your planets may not be in the same signs as calculations are mathematically based on different coordinate views of the Zodiac.ĪstroVed presents the South Indian style of chart.
