It's all in my Avi: Leo sun, Cap moon, Aquarius ascendant.

Your progressed chart is where you are today; you can also use progressions for predictive astrology. Planets move through the sky as the Earth rotates, so your astrological signs change as you progess through time.The sun moves forward about on degree a year, and each sign is occupied for 29-30 years.

You still retain your natal planets' characteristics at the core, but they will be influenced by the qualities of your progressed planets at various times. My progressed chart has a lot of air and water (lots of libra and scorpio) and will for the next 20 years or so. I definitely feel more of that influence than my natal.

The progressed chart can explain a lot of the personality change people go through as they age.

@Sultrykitty..good stuff, tell me more.I always wondered what "progressed chart meant"in astrology..and some other astrological terms I see..but can you clear this up for me.If the sun only changes sign every 29-30 years and you're a leo, don't that make you..60 something..and one more thing do you add 30 years for leo in that calculations or no being that that's the sun sign you are born under and even though different people are born various degrees of a sign— No right?

It's said that your moon is who you are when you're alone. But my Aries moon traits are so forceful and fiery that they're super evident in my normal interactions with people and how I act in general. I definitely act like my ascendant too, Gemini. Gemini asc and Aries moon just feed off of eachother and create so much energy. 😆

Capricorn sun hides out in the shadows. my core values are supremely Saturnian. I act loud, flighty, funny, and it disarms everyone. But they know nothing of my Capricorn-esque plans & schemes. Or is that more Scorpio? I do have sun in H8.

I think those who know me see all Sag (my sun) but before you get to know me I come across very Scorpionic (my asc). Many people have told me I'm so different than they expected me to be based on their first impressions

My Leo moon mostly comes out when I'm mad or upset...and also the standards I hold myself and my loved ones to.

I know that sounds so astro generic but it's true.
