a question on progressions

[rocme]

Do the settings for a progressed chart need to be set in the place of residence or birth place?
Thanks

I cannot say with any degree of authority, but for me, in my practice, the answer to your question would be, place of current residence (I do the same with solar return and lunar return and "birthday" charts and diurnal charts) Whether I am right or wrong in this, others may say better than I. For me, though, this method has produced consistent and reliable "makes sense" results. In the simple symbolic progression method I use (1 degree for every year of life, starting from the natal chart at the time, year and place of birth), the current location of the individual does not come into play in making the "current status" delineation. I reiterate, though-this is what I do, and should not be in any way considered "authoritative".

Many thanks for your reply as this is a new area of astrology

Your birth chart will always be the blueprint and most important. Solar returns are always 'where you are' on your birthday and quite often relocated.

Have you tried the astrocartography on astro.com, go to free horoscopes, then look to right. Astrocartography works and there is forum on AW that covers this and on astro.com on interactive, travel they offer astrocartography/world maps, which has its place and explains which planets rules lat and long where you relocate to and how this will affect you in this location. It is my personal opinion that relocated ‘birth charts’ don’t work, there are plenty of other techniques available.

Have just realised where the confusion may be on astro.com to get a solar return for a new location, you have to find the option to use a relocated chart, which does mean changing location from where natally you were born to where you are living now. This is just so you can get a relocated solar return only.....

Relocated birth charts are more or less astrocartography, whereby all your natal planets are stretched out over the globe and uses lat and long to discover best place to live. Apparently relocated birth charts does something similar (but not as widely used or known as astrocartography) whereby especially over the Angles could bring a planet out of 12, 3 6 or 9th to become much more active
