Arabic Parts & Fixed Stars - Influence in Progressions?

[Tanya00]

Hi there
I was looking at my progressed chart and noticed:

-Progressed Part of Fortune conjunct natal ASC
-Progressed Vertex and Venus conjunct Spica
-Progressed Uranus and Sun conjunct Antares

Notable mention:
-Progressed Mars conjunct natal Vertex


I know the "use"/influence of arabic parts and fixed stars (and the vertex) may vary from astrologer to astrologer. But any insights/opinions any one may have as to it's influences (if any) in a progressed chart would be greatly appreciated

Doing some research, I gather that there are going to be some changes in the coming years... from what see it will mostly have to do with relationships, or the way I see/deal with them...(7th house is a bit crowded )
And if Vertex is considered an influence in a progressed chart, there could be quite the "fateful encounter" coming my way....

But anyway, I'm wondering if the aspects mentioned above would have any effect on the chart

Effects of the fixed stars:

There is a permanent blending of the influences of stars that are conjunct one's natal planets. When a transit, arc, or progression, conjuncts a natal planet, it will express the nature of the fixed star aligned with that natal planet.

Here is a link to the source of that information which is a webpage entitled “A few suggestions on using the fixed stars” at http://www.constellationsofwords.com/stars/Stars_alphabet.htm

I dont use fixed stars at all and especially in the transits. transitting vertex and POF not valid either. These placements belong only to the person that is born with them. So I would ignore all that you have stated above. Life changing events have to have a natal echo as well as transitting planets hitting them in the natal chart. Progressed Mars to the Vertex only if Mars is conjunct Vertex within 2 degrees natally and I am not sure about that really. But it would be interesting to hear your feedback on that one.

Remember your progressions need to be seen on the natal chart and not separated out. Same with transits. They need to be on the outside wheel of your natal chart and read that way.

Tanya00 astrologers have different opinions regarding the fixed stars and you may find this comment made by dr. farr on a similar thread entitled "Spica in Houses" useful http://www.astrologyweekly.com/forum...736#post214736

In your specific question, if Spica is conjunct the cusp (sensitive degree) of your 5th house (within about 2 degrees of orb), it means quite strong benefic influences regarding all 5th house matters in your life.
These positive Spica influences, however, would be modified by:
-the sign of the 5th house
-planets in that sign in the 5th house
-any aspects to any planets in the 5th house
These additional influences would have to be blended with the positive Spica influences, in coming to a "net evaluation" of the areas of life affinitive to the natal 5th house.

I thought I posted the correct chart..... no?
Natal and progressions (outside) to illustrate aspects and questions in my original post.


Now I'm a little confused as to what chart should be used when trying to figure out progressions
