The progressed Sun moves one degree per year. Its influence will be in effect for three years and can be felt as much as one and one-half degrees before it becomes direct and the same period after it moves away from being exact. The progressed Sun, just as in the natal chart, has to do with ambition, power and authority. It also governs our vitality and the ability to recuperate from illnesses. It often identifies the masculine partner in a woman’s chart or the father as well as authority figures in life such as your superiors within the working environment, but it could also be directly related to you.
When the progressed Sun is in conjunction with the natal ascendant, it can be a time of advancement in life on many levels. This could include favourable opportunities for change in life and opportunities for inner achievement and outer success. It could also mean potential for meeting someone in life that has a great influence on you and will teach you many life lessons. It could also suggest that the father (or masculine parent) or in some cases a son has these opportunities. These influences are on a positive note if there are other conditions within the chart that suggest similar opportunities.
The progressed Sun on the Ascendant often implies that health is robust and feelings linked to good health are often a by-product. Much depends on the influence of other transits and progressions affecting the Ascendant during its three year period.
When the progressed Sun is in conjunction to the Midheaven depending on the age of the individual they may find advancement opportunities in the occupation or may graduate from University. Some of life’s objectives often materialize when the progressed Sun reaches this degree. More opportunities for hopes and wishes to manifest are often indicated when the Progressed Sun reaches the MC. Changes of a positive sort to status may occur or present themselves. Much depends on the natal potential, but the time is ripe for opportunities to enhance the career or move ahead in life under this influence.
If the Progressed Sun were conjunct the MC it would also be in opposition to the IC often suggesting changes to the home environment and family members. Oppositions usually imply actions from someone else and this could suggest that a son or possibly a daughter might move from home especially if Venus or Mars is somehow connected to this position. There may be potential for income or opportunities involving the home. More potential is suggested when the Progressed Sun is in conjunction to the IC, as conjunctions offer more opportunities than oppositions. Oppositions often suggest reversals or challenging conditions that often stem from others.
When deciphering the Progressed Sun always take into consideration the natal potential and transits and progressions to the chart as a whole. Remember there has to be three or more aspects with similarities in their energies to stimulate an event, either through transit or progression. The more aspects involved the greater the possibility for an event to occur.
