Secondary Progressions: The Clock of Life Ticking Away
by Robert P. Blaschke
As the earth turns daily on its polar axis, our satellite, the Moon, is continually orbiting around us, while
simultaneously both are orbiting annually around the Sun. The contemplative individual may ask if this apparent
linkage between one day, one month and one year means anything. What do these three concurrent celestial
motions have to do with each other? Is there a metaphysical equivalency to them? Is time itself real, symbolic or a combination of the two?

This brings the challenge to harmonize will and emotion. Learning that patience, discipline and hard work are the only ways to reach your goals is the challenge here. Also, this aspect brings the challenge of attitude. It is important to learn compromise and cooperation or you will never achieve your goals.
Sun r Mars
Careful planning and patience are lessons here. Learn to meet challenges positively rather than indignantly. Temper, argumentativeness, impatience and combativeness will only keep you from the things you desire. However, generally, you are good natured with people when not challenged, but watch that you don’t become to bossy.

Conjunctions
Planets are in conjunction
A conjunction is the most powerful aspect. It marries two planets, joining their forces into one. Conjunctions produce intense concentration of the planets involved and a condensation of individuality. We will assert the blended qualities of the two planets no matter what, almost as a compulsion. A conjunction indicates creativity in the expression of the dynamics of the planets involved and there is a reserve of energy to persist in spite of any obstacles.

The first type is a Solar Eclipse, occurring at the conjunction of the Sun and Moon. Here, the Moon comes between the earth and the Sun. Depending on one's location, the Moon may cut off the light of the Sun. The second type is a Lunar Eclipse, taking place at the opposition of the Sun and Moon. During a Lunar Eclipse, the earth comes between the Sun and Moon and cuts off the light of the Sun to the Moon.
