How long does a progressed aspect last?

Its duration depends on the progressed body. Within an orb under 1 degree, the progressed Moon moves about 13 degrees per year and produces a shorter phase, while the progressed Sun moves about 1 degree per year and slower contacts can remain active much longer; exact dates come from when the aspect enters and leaves the allowed orb.

Should I read the planets or the aspect first in secondary progressions?

Read the two bodies first, then the aspect. The pair identifies which subjects are being connected, while a trine or sextile supports integration, a square or opposition raises pressure, and a conjunction merges both meanings, so the aspect label alone cannot show where the change will appear.

Progressed aspects describe gradual changes in a person's inner priorities as age advances. The variants are divided by the two bodies involved and by whether their contact supports integration, creates pressure, or joins both themes directly; read the planet pair first, then the aspect type.

In detail

Progressed aspects use the day-for-a-year method, treating one day after birth as one year of life and prioritizing contacts within an orb of less than 1 degree. The progressed Sun moves about 1 degree per year, while the progressed Moon moves about 13 degrees, so lunar contacts develop more quickly than contacts from the Sun or slower inner planets. Interpretation combines the subjects ruled by both bodies, then weighs the aspect: trines and sextiles favor integration, squares and oppositions create pressure, and conjunctions merge the two meanings.
