The Case For Progressed Charts Strengthens (Helper Gargoyle)

drive to be socialWhen I moved across the country, it was a big change. I was entertaining, a lot. I had numerous dinner parties and hosted all kinds of things, cooking and baking and serving? I’m talking about hosting two to twenty-two people… weekly, if not more often than that!

Now look at my progressed chart at the time. Lots of Libra. Mars in Scorpio in the 7th; I had a strong drive to socialize!  Sun Neptune, sacrifices.  I was doing all the work (6th house), to pull these things off.

But 5th house moon in Libra has a lot of fun. We also hosted a lot of children, an entire kid’s band (Leo), and really, this is not too far off my Natal chart as far as character and preferences go.

Then look what happened.

progressedThis chart is flying beneath the wire, big time.  I’m like a helper-Gargoyle or something.  Those things don’t really let on, do they?

There is also an intense focus on caregiving, far beyond anything I’ve written about. I’m back workin’ in the dirty grave!

Again, I know this is a single case, but it’s a strong one. I’m going to have to watch the transits but I can tell you, transiting Pluto is squaring my progressed Venus and Mercury. All I talk about is the death and devasting illness amongst my friends (Venus) and neighbors (Mercury). Not family, see? My moon isn’t getting hit.

And what about my dogs (Mercury-ruled, small animals)? Three of my four dogs are geriatric. Here comes Pluto.

gargoyleLast, to add insult to injury (sort of), I have an astro-twin who reads this blog and has for years.  She’s aware of this; we work together, periodically. She just ordered her progressed chart and all her progressed Scorpio planets are spread across her 9th and 10th houses.  To this I say:

I will not be jealous of the other lady.
I will not be jealous of the other lady.
I will not be jealous of the other lady.
I will not be jealous of the other lady.
I will not be jealous of the other lady.
I will not be jealous of the other lady….

This seems to be adding up, from what I can see.  You?

  1. My progressed planets are splattered all over the chart, only my 3rd is empty and pluto is gonna be in my 8th soon. I have been a progressed cancer sun for over a year- conjunct my natal south node.

  2. Elsa,
    Very interesting post. I am intrigued by progressed charts and yours seems to be so accurate with your situation. Looking back at my major progressions over the years, each time there was a life altering event, my chart was being activated by these – specifically, progressed sun and moon.

    Thanks for all you do – I appreciate your work.

  3. Ha! Your choice of picture and theme made me thing of a favorite book: The Patrol Saint of Thieves. I love the book, the themes of bread(feeding), thieves (young children fending for themselves on the streets) and gargoyles of stone watching out for everyone.

    Progression. Expanding. Like yeast.

    You might enjoy the book if you have time for a novel.😘

      1. Whoops between my aging memory I flip this title often: it’s really The Patron Thief of Bread. I love the book anyway I call it😊

    1. Well you do come across (these days, since your husband passed), as someone who maintains space; remains aloof.

      That’s not criticism. I’m just saying, I can see it.

  4. Jealous, oeps. I stayed at home for a week and dived deeply into that emotion to see how stupid i was. (That was 34 yrs ago)

  5. I’m finding this absolutely fascinating, it’s relatively new for me. It has certainly elucidated my own life experiences, but I’m finding it engendering more compassion and insight on my part when applied to the people in my life as well. Pretty cool!

  6. I, too, will try not to be jealous of her 😄

    My progressed planets are all below the horizon except for the 8th house Aqu. Moon. I’m ready to be out.

    Natal though – Pluto is sitting right at the top, exactly on the cusp of the 10th, and I’m ready to shake off that 9th house stuff. Mars approaches my 7th house. Maybe it’ll help!

  7. I have progressed Venus and Sun in the 8th. Pluto has been sextiling them for a couple of years. 2 years ago my mother died, leaving a large (for me) estate. There are 4 beneficiaries. It’s been HELL. But, I bought a house in North Carolina a year ago. We still haven’t sold the estate property, though. Hoping having the election over will help. In 6 months my progressed sun (now Scorpio) will move into Sag. But still in the 8th. I chalk up all the inheritance stuff to the pluto/sun/venus transit and blame all the hell on the fact that transiting Saturn is in my 12th opposing natal sun, which squares Saturn in the 9th. I have been unable to have ANY voice in my family’s estate.
