he says it is stronger by effect when it´s about 1ºdegree - but it´s accepted for 2º i think

i hope it is not forbidden - i usually post in other forum ( LL) and here it is the one i was talking about.
it would be a nice idea for we all to see it his theory works and started looking at our progressions when we met the one we think could be our life lover or long term lover

" book by Paul Westran about progressed synastry "When stars collide"?
I`ve come across his website, where he published some of his ideas and results, and it left me quite gobsmacked.
He investigated around 1300 charts concerning the beginning of relationships, and he found something like a "relationship-pattern" or rather a "Venus-pattern".
In most cases, when a relationship started, he found that there were aspects (conjunction, trine, opposition) of Venus to Sun, Venus or Mars.
Those aspects were found either in the natal - natal aspects, progressed - progressed aspects or progressed - natal aspects.
Paul Westran said, that as the Descendant is a Venus-point, this aspect might act similiarly to the Venus-Sun-aspect.
I concluded from this, that then the Ascendant is a Mars-point, and so you would have to include also aspects from Sun to Descendant (Sun - Venus), Venus to Descendant (Venus-Venus) and Venus to Ascendant (Venus-Mars)."

"... have been reading around and in Robert Blaschke's book "Relationship Analysis" he reports that a progressed Venus conjunct sun coincides with meeting the love of one's life."
