Find Your Progressed Moon Sign
What is the Progressed Moon?
The progressed moon is a predictive tool that is symbolic, practical, and uncannily accurate in helping you understand the tone of the current astrological chapter in your life.
It starts with the sign and degree of your natal moon and then progresses, or advances, one degree per month for your entire life.
Since there are 30 degrees in each zodiac sign, this means that the Progressed Moon will change signs every 30 months (approximately every 2.5 years). Charting this cycle gives insight into your own emotional and spiritual development.
