Secondary Directions: When does the progressed lunar return occur and what themes does it influence in your natal chart?

The progressions or secondary directions indicate key stages or years in a person´s life in which the configurations of the natal chart are activated, indicating outcomes.

Nov 02, 2023 / Julio Boyer / Spanish version

One of the most important predictive techniques is the directions or secondary progressions that are based on the rule of 1 day = 1 year, that is, each day after birth is equivalent to one year of life. For example, if we want to know the progressed chart for 20 years of life, we only have to calculate the transits for the 20 days after birth.

The lunar return or moment in which the Moon returns to the same sign and degree where it was at birth occurs approximately every 28 days and therefore the progressed lunar return will be every 28 years. In this way, at 28 years of age and then at approximately 56 years of age, the progressed Moon will be in conjunction with the natal Moon, initiating a new cycle. As the Moon has an analogy with emotions and the influence of the past, in the years of the progressed lunar return, both positive and negative experiences will have a great emotional impact and unconscious patterns, programs or complexes can be activated in some way.

In which house do you have the moon and the sign of cancer?

The houses where your Moon is located and the sign ruled by it (Cancer) have an analogy with themes or areas where important outcomes or situations can occur in the years in which the progressed lunar return occurs. For example, if the Moon is in the 7th house linked to marriage and interpersonal relationships, something important in the life of a couple could happen to the person with this position around the age of 28 when the progressed lunar return occurs. If the Moon or Cancer is in the 10th house, important experiences may be related to career or profession and so on.

The natal aspects of the Moon are related to situations that will tend to activate at those times. The harmonic aspects can indicate positive situations and the inharmonic ones learning or testing. For example, if the natal Moon is in a square with Saturn, in the years of the progressed lunar return a situation may arise that makes the person sad and if the Moon is in trine to Venus it is very possible that a favorable situation may arise in the love or something that makes you feel happy.
