What your PROGRESSED MOON says about the current emotional state you're in | A brief thread on Progressive charts vs. Natal charts

What is a PROGRESSED CHART: The advancement of your Natal Chart positioned and aligned to present day calculations and overviews, using your birth chart compared to today's date.

Here's a quote from Sara Coughlin's article that I felt was easiest broken down to understand. refinery29.com/en-us/progress…

IN SUMMARY: Your Natal chart tells you what was going on in the stars the exact moment you were born, what a PROGRESSED CHART tells you how your natal chart has advanced with today's constellations. How it has developed.

Here's how you can calculate it best:
1. Go to astro.com
2. Under "Free Horoscopes" go to "Extended Chart Selection"
3. Go to the drop down box that reads "Natal Chart Wheel" and scroll down to "NATAL AND PROGRESSED CHART"

Once you've put in your birth information, and have finished the third step it'll take you to a wheel that looks similar to this one (here is my natal vs progressed chart wheel)

In this specific thread, we are emphasizing where your progressed moon is: Mine is circled

All of the green glyphs symbolize your progressed chart where the black glyphs (inside the chart) are your natal placements, to read where planets are transiting different houses or signs pay attention to the green planets outside of the wheel.

So my natal moon is Sagittarius, but in my progressed chart it is Scorpio. Which foreshadows a lot of emotional ties and struggles I'm currently undergoing. Transformation, realization, also the need to isolate oneself or take a step back and evaluate what is going on around you.

PROGRESSED MOON IN ARIES: Right now is an exciting time for you, you may be shaking things up around you or feeling livelier now more than ever. Perhaps you just went through a period of self-revelation and now are coming out of that feeling braver than ever.

PROGRESSED MOON IN TAURUS: You are finding a lot of clarity, as others may feel a bit more erratic than you do at the moment. You have a sense of levelheadedness right now, maybe for your loved ones. Probably finding comfort in Netflix and Postmates over a wild night out.

PROGRESSED MOON IN GEMINI: You might find yourself more sociable and understanding of others right now than you have in the past. Playful and easygoing energy is exuded from you, and the need to understand and discover the world around you keeps you excited and curious.

PROGRESSED MOON IN CANCER: Right now you may find yourself feeling more empathetic or in tune with the needs and emotions of others. Be cautious of spreading yourself too thin to nurture others around you. You are more intuitive at this time. Remember to nurture yourself as well.

PROGRESSED MOON IN LEO: This is a stimulating time to identify what it is you're creative/passionate about and how to go about executing your talents and honing in on your craft with the confidence to do so. You're radiating warm dewy sunlight which makes you easily approachable.

PROGRESSED MOON IN VIRGO: You may find yourself overextended at this time, picking up long hours at your job because your coworker is slacking - finding yourself as your family's personal (free) therapist, etc. But you are also extremely analytical and guarded about who helps you

PROGRESSED MOON IN LIBRA: You may find yourself searching for understanding now more than ever, as everything feels like a grey area. You are extremely charming and likable right now but may struggle to find a balance between pleasing others vs. pleasing yourself.

PROGRESSED MOON IN SCORPIO: This may feel like a very isolating period for you, as you are undergoing many transformations. It may feel like you are breaking yourself apart to remold yourself in the vision you're aiming for. This is also a time for clarity/acute observations.

PROGRESSED MOON IN SAGITTARIUS: You are entering a new period of your life that feels like a major shift out of a transition that may have been painful for you. You are ready for vibrancy and action, anything that holds a sense of liberation and enlightenment for you.

PROGRESSED MOON IN CAPRICORN: You have undergone a restless chapter in your life, and now you're ready to settle into a routine that can utilize your enlightenment and skills. You've played hard, but now you're ready to put in the work to reap even more reward for yourself.

PROGRESSED MOON IN AQUARIUS: You're tired of the 9-5 and the cliché guidelines that feel lead you nowhere fast. You're getting restless, and you're ready to carve out a new path and show people they don't always have to color within the lines. You want to inspire/work with others

PROGRESSED MOON IN PISCES: You may be hitting a state of confusion about the people in your life or the circumstances you're going through. You may feel emotionally more vulnerable than you're comfortable with, and find yourself seeking refuge in movies/books to avoid ~feeling~
