#secondary progressions

Random question. Which persona charts (or any other Astro placements) highlights a persons strengths, weaknesses, personal development, and path to self improvement?? Thank you

I am a fan of analyzing secondary progressions for self-improvement and introspection. Especially focus on your Moon placement within that type of chart.

Your solar return chart is useful for general strengths and weaknesses. This can can dive into core qualities, talents, and what makes you stand out.

As for persona charts, Mercury can highlight intellectual strengths. Venus can indicate artistic talents.

A MC/Midheaven persona chart can be super helpful for career development as well as personal development. This will closely analyze your ambitions and potential.

A Saturn persona chart can shed light on challenges and overcoming those challenges.

When it comes to personal development and self-improvement paying attention to the North and South Node in many chart types will be useful.

Palestinian activists in Ontario are asking you to email your reps about Bill 166. The wording of the bill is extremely vague, but it seems like the Ford government wants to open itself the possibility to meddle in mental health services provided by Universities and to change their anti-racism policies. It is very likely - with the timing - that these policy changes are going to be saught to arrest / institutionalize Palestinians for divulge during therapy, or to deny them service altogether. They want to control University campus mental healthcare, something no other province does.

Stolen Moments: A Fairy Tale

A spur-of-the-moment story for @inklings-challenge

The princess steps into the center of a whirling masquerade. She is resplendent in green as the Queen of May. A man slips through the crowd and stands before her, dressed all in brown as the Autumn King. He bows with a flourish, silently asking for a dance.

She stands like stone. “You should not be here,” she says.

“Can I not dance with my wife?”

He reaches for her hand. She pulls it away. “I have no husband.”

“In this place, no. Yet I remember otherwise,” he says. “And so do you.”

She turns on her heel and strides away. He follows, quick as ever. The dancers part around them like water. She scowls. He was always too clever for her, always too quick. Even a world of her making bends to accommodate him.

“Do you know what I’ve done to find you?” he asks. “The countries I’ve crossed? The mountains I’ve climbed? I’ve fought gryphons and giants. Searched for treasures lost since the invention of time. Flown to the moon and tunneled to the center of the earth.”

“I’m sure you enjoyed yourself immensely.”

“I bargained with the four winds, gave up my shadow, traded three days of my life just to have this moment with you.”

“I am sorry you wasted your time,” she says. “Do what you will, you cannot take me from here.”

“No,” he agrees. “You are trapped here by your own will, and only by your will can you escape.”

She chose this day well when she arranged her escape. The grandest ball the Mountain King ever held, the day of her sixteenth birthday. Long before she ever met that too-curious trickster who stole away her heart with cheap promises. Here there is music, beauty, bounty, every pleasure she can imagine. She will gladly live in this day forever if it means freedom from her ties to him.

“You think you can persuade me,” she sneers.

He laughs. “No one in the twelve worlds can do that.”

“You think you can steal me.”

Even behind his mask, she can see his gaze darken. She has offended him. “I will not steal a wife.”

“What do you call our wedding day?”

“You chose me.”

“Do you call it choosing, when you hid your true face behind so many lies?”

“You had your own secrets.”

“Do you blame me for hiding them?”

“No,” he says.

She stops. Of all the things she imagined him saying, this was not one of them.

“No,” he says again. “You were right to keep your secrets. I was wrong to seek them out.”

She turns to look at him. He removes his mask, revealing his deceptively young face. His eyes, once blue, have turned greenish-gray. His face has three jagged scars.

“You hid from me,” he said. “As I hid from you. I should have been patient--proved that you could trust me. Instead, I forced my way into your secrets and destroyed everything. I'm sorry.”

She is speechless. She expected excuses. Dazzling explanations.She had never expected contrition.

He reaches beneath his jacket and removes a small glass pendant. It shines the same bright blue his eyes had once been.

“This is yours,” he said.

Her heart. Taken from her in a childhood curse so long ago. Only her husband could put it in its proper place, if it remained unbroken during five years of marriage. Prince of thieves that he once had been, he had found it and broken it on the eve of their second anniversary.

“You repaired it,” she said.

“I replaced it. With mine.”

She has seen him in a million lies. This is not one of them.

“You may stay here if you wish,” he says. “I came only to atone. I do not expect you to forgive me.”

He places the pendant in her hand, bows, then turns away.

When he leaves, she knows she need never see him again.

“Wait,” she says. She removes her mask. “Don’t leave without your wife."

He stops. The other dancers disappear.She puts her hand in his and kisses him as she did on their wedding day.

He is alight with joy as she pulls away. "Does this mean--?"

“I forgive you,” she says.

He laughs aloud.

The heart he gave to her, she freely gives to him. The blue returns to his eyes as their hearts are restored, new and whole.

As the curse crumbles around them, they leave the ballroom behind.

THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NATAL, PROGRESSIVE & SOLAR RETURN BIRTH CHARTS | ASTROLOGY OBSERVATIONS

a natal birth chart explains who you are , straight out the womb. It’s essentially a map of your life including your family, friends, challenges, successes, your personality and it also explains what you’ll need and or want in this lifetime. With every map, there’s a destination. There are many paths you can take - right , left , up and down and maybe, just maybe you’ll reach your destination. It’s never guaranteed that you’ll arrive.

a secondary progressive birth chart explains your progress on your destination. Like a GPS, it always reveals the time your journey starts and when you are expected to arrive. Your GPS will tell you when you’ve made a wrong turn but let’s be honest. How many times have you ignored the turn your GPS suggested? How many times have you became distrustful of the instructions your GPS has suggested because you “ KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING!”

Technology and Computers are a lot smarter than you and yet - you thought you knew better.

In school , there are educational advisors who help you map out your college courses with intent of getting you to graduation day - or better, to put you in a position for better opportunities. How many of you dropped classes that were suggested that you take because

1. The class was too hard

2. You didn’t like the teacher or course

3. You didn’t think you needed the class or credits?

4. You lost interest

A secondary progressive birth chart is essentially “ CLASSES “ or “ DIRECTIONS” pre-planned, plans for you. If you are religious, there’s a scripture in the Bible in the Book of Jeremiah 29:11 “ For I know that plans I have for you, plans to prosper you not harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future”. A lot of people derail their progress because they are under the misconception of FREE WILL. Ultimately, most people IGNORE their GPS or Life Advisors- which in reality , is yourself. Most want what others have and do what others tell them to do resulting in ignoring their own GPS aka. staying in their own pre- planned lane. In conclusion, most never reach their destination. Most never progress. There is a strong illusion that most create with the help of everyone around them - that they’ve reached their destined destination but usually after some time - it is revealed that they went the wrong way. People will build a complete life with a person, at a job and go on to earn degrees that at some point doesn’t fulfill them and worse- they quit , leave and or experience burn out. Then they feel lost .

Have you ever felt lost? Have you ever had to start over? That feeling, is your GPS , your inner Life Advisor making you aware that you’ve made the wrong turn only now that your at a dead end and you have no choice but to listen. Secondary progressive birth charts are very important because like children, it explains your path towards development. For parents it becomes concerning when their child is at the age where they should be talking, reading, writing etc. and they’re not.

Secondary progressive birth charts is your map of development and the lessons, challenges and people who will come into your life to enforce this.

Solar Return birth charts reveals your “ classes for the semester” and these classes change every year. When someone’s declares “ I am not the same person i was a year ago” that is a true statement of someone who is evolving, learning but ultimately developing - in the right direction. ( most times , some people take a turn for the worst and they are not the same person from a year ago) Like someone who was 130lbs a year ago and a year later they are 160lbs. Clearly, they’ve changed physically and most times this indicates in the wrong direction. ( unless your building muscle - I digress) Solar Return charts will reveal whether you need to retake a “ class” because you’ve failed - went the wrong way. Or if you’ve passed your “ classes” and are ready for harder “ classes” ie. responsibility and growth. Leading you a step closer to your destination - graduation. You will know if you’ve failed and went the wrong way if old people, habits , behaviors , thought processes and pain come back into your life or remain.

To my next point - Tropical Astrology is the wrong direction considering it is in alignment with elemental seasons whereas Vedic Astrology, is in alignment with the Planetary positions- which is most accurate. We cannot manipulate Planets however, it has become clear that elemental seasons have been manipulated.

The manipulation that I speak on, is equivalent to you ignoring your GPS “because you think you know better”. It is equivalent to adapting “FREE WILL” that doesn’t exist in addition to, following someone else’s “plan” for you and being who someone else told you to be. But of course, most will continue to adhere to a manipulated system because energetically they are trying to manipulate a life - their life, that has already been pre-planned by something much SMARTER like that of technology, a computer - if you will.

You know how "revolution" in Utena has a double meaning? It's revolution as in a cycle, you go around and you come back to the same spot, and it's revolution as in something new and revolutionary?

I was just thinking today. You know one way you can go in circles, but still progress?

Spirals.

During my Saturn Return I actually focused a lot on comparing my transit chart to my secondary progression chart. It was interesting to see how the transits matched up and compared with what I was feeling and thinking internally (progression chart).

The Ontario government is introducing new measures to crack down on cellphone use and vaping in schools as the province sees an "alarming rise" of vaping and cellphone distractions in classrooms.

In an announcement Sunday, Education Minister Stephen Lecce said the province is removing distractions as part of its back-to-basics plan, and addressing the "negative impact" of mobile devices, social media and vaping in classrooms.

"Every parent and teacher we speak to has shared the growing problem of cellphone distractions in class … in addition to the disturbing rise of vaping in schools [among] our youth," Lecce said at a news conference in North York Sunday.

"We will be denying cellphone use during instructional time. We need to be bold, we need to be comprehensive and we need to act with urgency today." [...]

having a Night. havent been alone w my thoughts in a while and im not liking it

[relicsongmel]

Being a music-based synesthete with absolute pitch is wonderful but so frustrating because the vast majority of people have no context for the way I experience music and thus whenever I try to explain it it makes no sense to them. What do you mean you can't tell what color this song is. What do you mean you don't hear a Bb minor chord and feel your body react to it before your brain does. What do you mean you can't feel the warm sunbeams of D major dancing across your face. My world is filled with musical color but even if people think it's cool they will never really see it and it makes me sad

i am so tired of being out of shape but i have no idea how to fix this. someone should invent exercise that doesn't make me want to shoot myself in the head.
