Progression techniques

[Guest guest]

Hi Mu'Min,

 

Nice to hear from you after a while! (I hope its not too hot these days

over in Philadelphia).

 

Since the subject of western progression methods has come up, let me add

some thoughts I have had. Evidently, according to Sanjay Rath, these

methods were taught by the sage Manu, in his treatise called the Manu

Samhita, which is more or less a law book for all of mankind, and in which

the principles of astrology were taught as well. I like both the Secondary

and Tertiaries, because the Moon thus progressed, whose movement through

the naksatras is the calculation base for many dasa systems, has a similar

movement to that of Saturn, who is the "Wheel of Time" (and who is thus

very important in the matter of event timing as well). If, for example,

you progress the chart by one calendar day = one year, you find that the

secondary progressed Moon stays in one sign for two and a half years, and

one naksatra for one year. This is basically the identical movement of

Saturn. Thus, the secondary progressed Moon follows the exact path of the

"unprogressed" Saturn, and the two seen simultaneously can give some hidden

clues regarding "fate" or destined events. K.N. Rao used to talk about

significant and important events happening in a person's life during the

dasa of the Moon and bhukti of Saturn, and vice versa, and especially when

they are mutually aspecting natally.

 

Tertiary progressions may be more useful for timing events more closely, as

the Tertiary progressed Moon stays in a sign for 2 and 1/2 months, and one

naksatra for one month. An interface between the Moon progressed in this

way, and positive or negative naksatras, could show a good or bad one

month period, for example. The Moon conjoining natal configurations in

this way could also spell out particular events, the broad significance of

which could be seen from the Vimsottari dasa that would be operating

simultaneously.

 

Primary progressions follow the Sun's natural degree sequence, going at a

rate of one degree per day = one degree per year. There is a method in

Varshaphal, or yearly charts, whereby "Sahams" (which are the Vedic

counterpart to Arabic Parts), are progressed by one degree per day *to* an

important planet or house cusp, and in this way events are timed.

 

Anyway, the bottom line is, that all these progression methods work. What

needs to come next is some more convincing research with actual charts.

 

Thanks for the communicato -- more later, time permitting......

 

With regards,

Robert
