Timing is everything. Astrology has the key to time.

Love and astrology have their own special timing, and there are prompts within your progressed chart to help you hone in on those special years when someone new is coming into your life or is an indication of a year of marriage.

First you have to have your natal chart to be able to compare it with your progressed chart. There are three progressed charts to work with. There is your forwarded directed chart, reverse directed chart, and your progressed solar arc chart.

When you get your charts progressed, you can start comparing them to your natal chart (a three wheel chart is recommended). Each planet progresses at a different rate, and when one of your love planets progresses to form an aspect with one of your natal, or another progressed, love planet, you have a love year, giving you a new love relationship or possibly one year of marriage. !

The aspects that are formed by the progressed planet to the home planet are the strongest, but you will also see them making aspects to the other progressed planets. I’ve seen love connections where they went from chat to chat, and they progressed to chat, but more importantly, they progressed to natal. In many cases you will find up to 3 of these indicators of all or some of these combinations.

Here is a list of what to look for, the planet in bold is the progressed planet, the other planets can be natal or progressed. And the number one love planet is Venus, of course!

• Venus – Sun, Moon, Mars, Ascendant, Descendant, MC, IC, Chiron, Jupiter and any planet in your seventh house or the ruler of your seventh house.
• March – Sun, Venus, Angles, 7th house planets and rulers.
• Sun – Venus, Moon, Mars, Angles (especially the Descendant) and Chiron.
• Moon – Venus, Sun, Mars, 7th house planet or ruler.
• Progressed Ascending/Descending – Venus, Moon, Sun, Jupiter, 7th house planets and rulers.
• Progressed MC/IC angle – Venus, Moon, Mars, planet of the 7th house or ruler of the 7th house.

The most frequently seen aspects are the conjunction, the trine, and the sextile. However, squares and oppositions are also noted.

The most frequently seen aspects for love in astrology are among these planets in order:

• Venus/Mars
• Sun/Venus
• Sun/March
• Sun Moon
• Moon/Venus and Moon/Mars
• Any of the love planets to the angles and to the ruler of the seventh house.

And one more to look at is your Arabic part of marriage and love planets that form an aspect at this point.

When you are comparing your progressed love planets with

natal/progressed planets, look for an orb within 1 degree.

Look for Venus to work its magic from the moment the aspect is exact up to 1 degree later. Mars works a little faster, look for an orb 1 degree before the accuracy. All others are in process every time the orb is within a degree, sooner or later.

To fine-tune when a new love or marriage will take place, watch the transits that trigger the progressions.

If you are already in a loving relationship and looking for a year of marriage, this works too!

That gives you an overview of love – astrological style.
