Lottery-Winning Tertiary Progressions

Understanding the time frame represented by tertiary progressions requires a little bit of thought. You’re familiar with secondary progressions. They’re based on the movement of the Sun. You’ve probably been calculating and using them for years and understand how one day equals one year of life. If we want to see the positions of the secondary progressed planets for our 30^th year of life, we open the ephemeris and begin with the day after our day of birth and count “one.” The day after that is “two.” And so on until we reach 30.

In tertiary progressions, each day after birth represents one lunar month, a much shorter and more focused period of time than a day for an entire year. These progressions are based on the movement of the Moon. To estimate your tertiary positions, subtract the Julian Day of your birth from the Julian Day of your target date. In your ephemeris, count the sum of those days beginning with the day after your date of birth. The day on which you end the count should be your tertiary progressed positions.
