Progressions in the USA Chart

Progressions are as fundamental as transits to mapping the time-line of our development. Transits might “make more sense” since they are real events happening in the sky, but don’t be misled by that simple fact. Progressions are like a biological clock set running at your birth. They’re every bit as powerful as transits. But you don’t need to take anyone’s word for it – just watch them work. In this presentation, Steven Forrest uses the progressions in the chart of the United States to fly over two centuries of history. World War Two? Progressed Mars on the U.S. Midheaven. The Roaring Twenties? Progressed Sun opposite Uranus.  The Sun conjuncts Neptune and what happens? The rise of Spiritualism. As always with evolutionary astrology, our aim is not simply to amaze, but rather to enhance our understanding and add wisdom to our choices.
