A person's internal psychological maturation occurs according to its own schedule and does not always coincide with chronological age or external stages of life. Astrology offers a scientific and philosophical tool for observing this individual evolution—the method of progressions. Progressions reveal not external events, but the state of the inner world: emotional reactions, shifting life priorities, and profound psychological shifts. Thanks to progressions, one can trace how values, motivation, and maturity of an individual transform over time.
What are astrological progressions?
Progression in astrology is a symbolic "acceleration" of the natal chart, allowing one to reflect a person's inner development. The method is based on a simple correspondence: one day after birth corresponds to one year of life. Thus, the natal chart moves forward in time, showing how the planets gradually "progress." This method is not intended to predict specific events. It reflects internal changes that mature over time, but are not rigidly tied to the number of years lived. Progressions help understand when a person is internally ready for certain changes.
Indicators of internal evolution
Particular attention is paid to the Moon in progressions. The progressed Moon moves faster than other planets and changes sign approximately every 2.5 years, marking another shift in inner attitude and motivation. Over approximately 28 years, the progressed Moon completes a full circle through the zodiac signs, symbolizing a whole cycle of emotional maturation.
The progressions of other personal planets are slower but also important. The progressed Sun typically changes signs once or twice in a lifetime, reflecting a profound shift in self-perception and life perspective. Progressed Mercury is associated with a restructuring of thinking and interests, Venus with a shift in values in relationships, and Mars with a transformation in behavioral style and energy level. All these changes originate within a person, gradually shaping a new level of maturity and altering their worldview.
Maturity and Value Shift
Progressions don't reveal external destiny; they indicate a person's internal readiness for certain stages of life. For example, two peers may differ significantly in their level of psychological maturity: one has already undergone a reassessment of their values, while the other is just beginning this journey. Progressions allow us to capture these slow internal shifts that precede external changes and serve as a kind of "internal clock" for the individual.
The method of progressions, considered in transpersonal astropsychology, makes it possible to systematically and consciously track the long, largely hidden process of psychological maturation.
At the Vita Virtus Veritas Academy, you can take training in transpersonal astropsychology to gain a deeper understanding of the progression method and your inner evolution.
