Astrologers often toss around big, high-concept words like spiritual and soul journey. We say times of great crisis are opportunities for change. But this jargon can sometimes be a cover for a lack of specificity. What we really want to know is: what kind of transformation? What needs to change? And how painful will it be? Most importantly: why?

Most astrology focuses on transits because they are simple to read. Transits describe the what and the how. But the why — why this is happening to you right now — is answered only by Secondary Progressions. The progressed chart is the map of your natal potential moved forward to this exact moment. It tells us how far we’ve come and what we have yet to do.

Updated

The progressed Sun and Moon are the primary indicators of your evolving consciousness. Whether you are facing a progressed New Moon — a rare 28-year event — or your progressed Ascendant is crossing a natal planet, these movements reveal the road you must travel. The Lunar Nodes take on heightened meaning here, acting as the spiritual spine that reveals the ultimate purpose behind your current life events.
