Am I the only one who thinks this is looking grim?

[FleetingDasein]

Greetings!

I was looking at my progressed chart for the next days and maybe it's because I'm quite subjective about it but I think it is looking grim. I have attached the chart if anyone wants to have a look.

First, there's all the negative aspects of the moon. I'm already sick (possibly the cold, I have been in bed all day trying to get better because I have to travel soon) so it seems the stars are being quite ruthless with me. The chart also seems to indicate I will be on the lookout for love and might jump into anything that comes my way.

Then there's also a big suggestion that I will be tempted to take the escapist way out by delving into alcohol and tobbacco, and illicit drugs at worst. This particularily worrisome as I will have them readily available. (Not that I am a drug dealer or anything but some of my friends are into that kind of stuff) :eek:

Hi FD, In order to know what is going to happen to you in the next days, you should not look at your progressed chart alone. For "the next days" you must look at the transits, especially the fast one's like Venus, Mars and Mercury. The Moon moves so fast, you can almost trace her by hour. Sun takes one month to go through a sign. So start by locating where these planets are at the moment . Then look especially at the slow ones, like Saturn through Pluto. Then look at the fast ones in the light of the slow one's. The progressed chart must always be looked at in the light of the natal chart, never on it's own. Same goes for Solar return charts. See where your Progressed Moon, Sun etc. are NOW located in your NATAL chart. Then you see where the most important energies work out. Look at transits making aspects to the progressed planets. Little by little you will hopefully get the picture. It is not easy at all to predict what will happen in just a few days, just a very few, extremely experienced astrologers can do that. To pinpoint what happens in a certain month you must look actually at a Lunar Return chart. It is really very complex and if I were you I would only go by the general trend, transits etc. If you want a specific question to be answered, go to the Horary section of this Forum, ask a question like "how will the next week develop for me", or better even, for a YES or NO answer, "will the next week go well for me", put up a chart like you did here for your question, hour and place of question, then try to interprete it (if you have learned about horary) and see which answers you get. Hope I gave you some insight here.
