In episode 364 astrologer Catherine Urban joins the show to talk about the progressed lunation cycle in astrology, and how to use this timing technique to identify the seasons and phases of your life.
We begin the episode by talking about the lunation cycle as a concept, how to identify the 8 distinct phases of that cycle, and find out what lunar phase you were born in.
We then move into talking about how each person experiences different phases of the lunation cycle at different points in their life within the context of secondary progressions.
Each person will experience a secondary progressed New Moon at some point in their life, and this will mark the beginning of a new 28 year cycle which is divided into eight sections based on the lunar phases.
During the course of the episode we talk through a few different example charts and discussed what happened in people’s lives around the time of a progressed New Moon, and then the ways in which there was a culmination around 14 years later at the secondary progressed Full Moon phase.
The end result was a great introduction to one of the most interesting and useful timing techniques in contemporary astrology.
