Most of you probably know the Sun sign, Rising sign and Moon sign in your astrological charts, but what do you know about your Progressed Moon?
The Progressed Moon moves through your chart about 1 degree each month, and covers a sign of the zodiac in about 2.5 years. It’s amazing how much influence on your thoughts, desires, feelings and actions the Progressed Moon can have on you as it moves through these phases, as well as events that happen in your life during the different progressions.
The Moon symbolizes the rhythm of day to day life, but the Progressed Moon tells us which things are likely to be a major focus in your day to day existence (what house the Progressed Moon is in), and the way in which you will approach or deal with them (what sign the Progressed Moon is in). Think of it as the shades you are looking through. You are still you, but the influence of the Progressed Moon is the skin you’re in during each sign and house it moves through.
Knowing what sign and house your Progressed Moon is in can be incredibly enlightening. It’s also super useful to know your partner’s Progressed Moon, so you can be more understanding of where each person is coming from.
You can find your Progressed Moon by going to Astro.com.
