Progressed planet observation thread

[Ava]

I'll start:

PTL (Praise the Lord) my progressed Mercury is back in Aquarius.

My Mercury's @ 5° Aquarius. But Mercury turned Rx shortly after I was born. So my pr Mercury entered Capricorn when I was 15 and has been there most of my life. I don't know when it turned direct again but it reached 0° Aqua last year. I was happy but at the time, it was opposing my natal Saturn @ 0° Leo.

Now my pr Mercury's at 2° Aqua, finally breaking free of Saturn.

I'll never quite overcome the natal Mercury-Saturn opposition, but as these planets are finally separating for real in my progressed chart, I'm starting to feel much freer (and Aquarian! 🎉 ) in my thinking.

Whoaaa I was literally just obsessing over my progress chart last night! Must be a universal Aquarian-Aquarian train of thought right now

I was lamenting something similar - how I've had Saturn conjunct my IC in my progressed chart for the better part of 5 years now, and will continue to have it for a while. Naturally this means it's also squaring my progressed Libra ASC. I'm going through the actual transit at the moment too but luckily that will end in two weeks time.

My progressed Moon slipping back into Aquarius this year has been weird. I thought I would feel the utmost clarity and precision in my emotional life but everything has been kind of strange and fuzzy. Like I'm on autopilot. My focus was INSANE when I had p. Moon in Capricorn. Love that placement.

Nothing else in my chart will shift for a good while..

My p. Mars in Aries is exactly trine my slowly shifting SN in Leo. I have been keenly obsessed with making the right decisions for my future the past few months.

Ava ,

it is interesting, as my Mercury is just becoming retrograde in Aquarius! I am not yet sure what that is going to mean, except that it has been on 25 Aquarius for ages. lol


At the moment it is stationary I think, and will turn retrograde on 27th february next year, with its conjunction to pr Antivertex with an orb of 7 minutes (that conjunction will peak at 3rd january 2018; and at the same time pr Venus will have JUST entered Pisces and being on 0°03 Pisces, in fact Venus changes signs on my birthday this year).

But what the retro motion for my MErcury means I have no clue. Well interestingly I was having pr MErcury on the pr Antivertex with an orb of 10 minutes, when I first met and talked to P; but then there was also pr Venus conjunct pr MErcury with one minute of orb and on the pr AVX, and all of these in partile conjunction to my natal Moon. And there were several planets on the verge of changing signs or having changed signs.

pr Mars 29°12 Sag
pr Sun 29°59 Capricorn (it moved into Aquarius the week following that meeting)
pr Moon 00°31 Taurus (having changed signs 2 weeks before approximately)


I don`t quite know what this means or how it could manifest, but on 14th february 2018,
my pr DRACO Sun will be conjunct P`s pr tropical Moon on 1°45 Gemini exact, just a day after that there will be a New Moon eclipse on 27°08 Aquarius, and the day after the eclipse he is actually giving a solo concert I am going to attend. lol

Hmm, this is the second time I think I`ve seen him on the day of or surrounding an eclipse. The last time was in october 2014, also a New Moon eclipse, but on 00 Scorpio.


And well I was wrong, actually I was seeing him on a concert, In between two eclipses, which led to the decision to see him again; this first concert only does not qualify as first meeting chart, because we did not talk to each other, though I found it curious how much I seemed to be on his radar. lol

Back then this concert happened just after another New Moon eclipse, that took place on the degree of my natal Moon (and in fact we met with my pr Antivertex also having been there and conjunct that pr Mercury-Venus).

After the concert a Full Moon eclipse occurred taking place on the exact degree of his natal SN, which I find curious, as this year`s solar eclipse was actually taking place on his NORTH Node this year, well most exact on his pr NN but also conjunct the natal NN by 2 degrees.


And I also almost forgot, I was on a workshop and concert of his in february, right on the day of the New Moon eclipse on 8 Pisces (actually the eclipse became exact, precisely one minute after the concert started!)

And well the year we "reconnected", this reconnection happened about 2 weeks after a New MOon eclipse on our composite URanus. lol and 2 weeks before another eclipse, on my DESC, but that was not directly ON the eclipse day or surrounding the day, still interesting.


And now if I look at the calendar, I realize, that I am going to see him in that open air musical, just on the weekend another solar eclipse is going to happen; I will be there on 8th, 9th and 10th august, and the eclipse happens on 11th august - I think it counts
This eclipse will be on 18 Leo, opposing my natal Moon.


Hmm, I am getting the feeling we like to meet under eclipses lol.

[lumina]

So what`s coming up for me or is already in play is the following:


pSun trine pPluto: 0°30 s
pSun trine nPluto: 035 s


pMoon opposite pJupiter 2°49a
pMoon square nSun - Mercury in about 9 months
pMoon opposite n Juno 0°49 a (within the next month)


pMercury conjunct pAvx 0°05 a
pMercury sextile nSun 0°30s
pMercury sextile nMercury 0°23 a

pVenus trine nUranus 1°26 a

pMars square pJuno 0°01 s
pMars conjunct nVenus 0°02s
pJuno square nVenus 0°02s
pJuno trine nMars 0°58s
pJuno trine nASC 0°52 a
pJuno conjunct n IC 1°11s


pJupiter trine pMC 0°23 s

pSaturn conjunct pDESC 0°41 s

pVertex trine nSun 0°35a
pVertex trine nMercury 0°19a

pDESC conjunct nSaturn 2°40 a (in 2-3 years)
pDESC trine nJuno 2°40a

[Ava]

athena

Glad this thread arrived on time Uranus is quick like that.

Now that you mention it, I have pr Saturn squaring my IC....for the rest of my life, I think. Pr Saturn conjunct my draconic moon in Cancer. Such a long journey.

Good luck making the best of your pr Mars trine pr NN. I love fire energy success stories.

It's going to mean that our progressed Mercuries will be conjunct. Are you flying to see me, or vice versa? 

But what the retro motion for my MErcury means I have no clue.

In my case, my thinking changed. I was confronting things that required more concentration, like multiplication (age 8).

Well interestingly I was having pr MErcury on the pr Antivertex with an orb of 10 minutes, when I first met and talked to P; but then there was also pr Venus conjunct pr MErcury with one minute of orb and on the pr AVX, and all of these in partile conjunction to my natal Moon.

Unbelievable! 😮 

Hmm, this is the second time I think I`ve seen him on the day of or surrounding an eclipse. The last time was in october 2014, also a New Moon eclipse, but on 00 Scorpio.

You two are eclipse-y. 

This eclipse will be on 18 Leo, opposing my natal Moon.

Definitely DO wear the tight red shirt for that appearance. 😊

Hmm, I am getting the feeling we like to meet under eclipses lol.

Dat's a whole other topic, eclipses & relationships. I've already explored my past biography, how the landmark times and eclipses go together....the only eclipse topic that rivets me now is that upcoming double eclipse on my sun and then opposing my Saturn, exact in both cases, at the start of my craziest year ever, 2019. 

All I can think of is death though. So there's not much to say. 😉

[anela]

My progressed sun is at 5 Gemini, one degree away from my vertex in the 8th house.
Progressed moon is now in Capricorn, 2 degrees.
Mercury 23 Gemini, sextile Ceres/Chiron/sun.
Venus 19 cancer, square Mercury, opposed transiting Pluto.
Mars 4 Aries. It's moving to oppose my Pluto in the next two/three years, and conjoin my Jupiter, so I should be extra charming.
Ascendant 2 sadge, conjunct my NN.

[anela]

My progressed moon is three degrees away from my sister's sun.

[anela]

Oh, wait. Progressed sun and Mercury are also in the progressed 7th house. My pSun and descendant have been conjunct for about eleven years. I thought that would help relationship-wise, but it didn't. If someone did turn up soon, I'd probably just ask him where the hell he's been. But I'm in a bad mood tonight.

[lumina]

"It's going to mean that our progressed Mercuries will be conjunct. Are you flying to see me, or vice versa? "
Haha, that would be nice! But I avoid flying; well I`ve had to to get to Cornwall, but that is about the amount of time I am ready to spend in a plane, 1-2 hours, anything more would be pure torture for me.
But you`re welcome to fly over here and we can meet up then, I would like that.


"In my case, my thinking changed. I was confronting things that required more concentration, like multiplication (age 8)."
It makes sense. Well whatever I am reading about Mercury retro is how the thoughtpattern shifts AND how it goes more internal, more concentrated, like you said. The thing is that is how my thoughtpattern worked all my life. I don´t think it even CAN go any more internal.

Actually Mercury stationed on 25 Aqua on 16th september. How funny is that? I was seeing P on stage that day, you know, the occasion he blew a kiss into my direction?
Well his pUranus is on 25 Scorpio, so I guess he was just bound to surprise me, repeatedly. actually my pMercury has been squaring his Uranus for ages! first it was his natal Uranus, then his pUranus, and now Mercury will revisit the square to his natal Uranus once more. lol

Using an orb of 1 degree for that progression it means that:

march 2012- september 2014  : my pMercury square his n Uranus (22 - 24 Aqua-Scorpio)
january 2014 - february 2018: my pMercury direct square his pUranus (24-26 Aqua-Scorpio)
february 2018 - january 2022: my pMercury retro square his puranus (25 - 24 Aqua-Scorpio)
june 2021 - december 2023: my pMercury retro square his nUranus (24-22 Aqua-Scorpio)

so spanning a whole of almost 12 years; well usually Mercury is the second quickest progression due to his motion, but because it went stationary for me, it was more acting like an outer planet in terms of rate of motion.
Honestly speaking though I like that Mercury-Uranus-progression, it is a bit crazy, for sure, but at least not boring!


Well interstingly enough when it fades out in december 2023, it does so with my pSun almost conjunct my n Moon, and his pMoon opposing my nMoon and pSun.
And my pMoon conjunct his nMercury, and a few months later of course also conjunct his nSun.
with his pMercury and my pMercury apply to each other in conjunction, though still at about 2-3 degrees.


But that is so long until then, who knows if we`ll even be in each other`s lives by then? I mean crossing each others path?

On the other hand had you told me 9 years ago that this guy would show up again in my life and pretty much become a lasting aspect of it, I had told you you must be crazy! Especially since there was that hole in between the first meeting and then reconnecting. which curiously happend, in a most bumpy way, the time my pr mercury started squaring his Uranus. There would not have been a reconnection had he not approached me during a concert. So I guess in some weird way he`s to blame.



"Definitely DO wear the tight red shirt for that appearance. 😊"
Which one?



"I've already explored my past biography, how the landmark times and eclipses go together."
I am becoming fascinated with them.

"...the only eclipse topic that rivets me now is that upcoming double eclipse on my sun and then opposing my Saturn, exact in both cases, at the start of my craziest year ever, 2019. "
Yes I made a note for 2019 as well.

Actually right now I am curious, not about eclipsese, but about the december lunations.
The Fullmoon will be on 11 Gemini exact on our composite Jupiter, and maybe more importantly for me personally on my SN and opposing my Neptune (and his Mercury).

And then of course the New Moon happens right on my birthday on 26 Sagittarius, and therefore will conjunct my Sun-Mercury, his Sun-Moon-MC and our composite Sun. I guess too bad it is not an eclipse. lol

"All I can think of is death though."
why?

Sun is 24 Aries, descendant is almost 3 degrees Taurus. 

[Ava]

Argh sorry for ghosting on this thread, probably one of my short "taking a break" phases.

lumina, I'll try and answer you soon.

My progressed moon @ 29° Virgo. Goodbye, Virgo moon, you were fun. I learned some cleaning shortcuts.

This critical degree stuff is for the birds, though.

Pr moon square transiting Saturn, with tr Saturn conjunct my composite sun-Mercury with my oldest son. So he doesn't feel like talking to me and walks out of the kitchen with his food instead of chatting. It's silly how much that bothers me. The script in my head is, "Life's not over, you're just crazy. You've been crazy before and survived. It'll be okay....breathe in, breathe out..."

LOL, better to laugh than cry.

[anela]

I wonder if my progressed moon is now squaring Pluto and Jupiter, properly, or opposing Saturn. I can't believe the difference between this and sadge. I lost my sister again. She immediately returned to being a monster to me. Now I'm fighting with someone else, and have been in crisis mode. Just feeling like I don't matter. There's lip service, and then there's the action, you know?

[Ava]

Of course you matter, anela.

I get worried about you when you don't show up for several days at a time.

Why wouldn't you matter??? You're interesting and real. That's perfect.

[lumina]

anela

I often don`t quite know what to say to you, as I feel my words are simply not enough. I do feel or at least see the depth of your pain; it seems to me you live in horrible living conditions, having to stand against those blows from the closest ones to you, who should be standing by your side and support you!

But even if they don`t make you feel that way, of course you matter.

As Faith said, you are an interesting and deep person. And I tend to get worried about you a lot, too.

[lumina]

Sorry, I forgot about that thread myself.

Ava ,

so you have the Saturn tracking the Moon phenomenon going on? I`ve read that is one of the hardest conditions, especially if Tr saturn is squaring or opposing pr Moon, and chances are that lasts for a while. I think almost everyone has to go through this at some time, some are though hit harder than others.

I can look forward to it as well, though not now.
I will have that in around october 2019, with the added twist that my pr Moon will just have been conjunct Pluto 3 months before, and squaring pr Saturn, making a T-square with Transiting Saturn on 12-13 Capricorn.

Oh the joy! lol



Actually the transiting nodal axis will be there then, too, on 11 Cancer, while my pr DESC Will be exact on my natal SAturn on 16 Cancer. (Trine Tr Neptune on my natal Juno on 16 Pisces exact).


Well seems Saturn does not think of letting go of me anytime again. *sighs*

[Ava]

Hi lumina ,

Finally answering! My pr moon @ 0° Libra squares tr Saturn; I hadn't noticed they were tracking together. I'm fine...but aware that this isn't my most exhilarating phase ever.

"I will have that in around october 2019, with the added twist that my pr Moon will just have been conjunct Pluto 3 months before, and squaring pr Saturn, making a T-square with Transiting Saturn on 12-13 Capricorn.

Haha that is impressively bad. I can only wish you safety and very durable happiness through it. You got through Saturn on your sun well enough.

I'll have pr moon conjunct natal Pluto this year. I hope that doesn't feel as bad as I think it might.

---

I've been listening to two artists exclusively for the past few days and finally realized their suns are conjunct on my Mars.

Then I realized that my pr Mars @ 19° Gemini forms a yod with today's transits: 19° Cap sun-Venus-Pluto and 18-19° Scorpio Mars-Jupiter.

So my Mars is emphasized and I'm listening to music by guys whose suns are on my Mars.

I didn't do that on purpose but I like how that all came together.

My moon aspects all this and feels more "awake" than its usual sleepy self.

[Deleted]

pVenus in Libra is squaring nMercury in Cancer by 0º01" and will be exactly 0º00" in 3 days' time

pJupiter in Pisces is squaring natal IC in Sagittarius by 0º08" and applying (as Jupie is retrograding). It also is squaring nUranus in Sag by 0º19", but natally they are square anyway and, well, looking at my progressed chart, they will be square for a long long long long time.

pMoon in Leo semi-sextile nAscendant in Virgo by 0º05".

In progressed chart alone

I have pSun conjunct pMercury in Virgo with an orb of 3º. Ever since pMercury entered Virgo, I gained the gift of learning things very quickly, and I want to harness that for the next 12-13 years until it enters Libra.

pMercury sextile pPluto.

pMercury and pSun square pSaturn, trine pNeptune, but both departing.

pSun trine pMars

pMars sextile pJupiter and applying

pMoon trine pUranus

At this moment in time my progressed chart actually has a lot of soft aspects.

I envy you Ava , because I'll never be able to experience pMercury in Aquarius in my lifetime. I'd like to know what that's like, to have a whiz mind

[anela]

Faith and lumina: sorry, I didn't see your posts. My dad is usually great, but we've been arguing a lot over something specific over the last two months. As usual, I was trying to adjust to something, but I realized that he had absolutely no intention of budging on something, no matter how it was affecting me. Which did me in. I'm not going to say more about it, although I might in the future. Something that might have gone more swimmingly if he had just listened to me, just really didn't go well (for me). Problem is on both sides - both of us. Either we fix it or we don't.

But my sister... that's another thing entirely.

Thank you.
