Mars progressions in U.S. chart

[Jim Eshelman]

Nearly my entire life, we have had barely interrupted Mars progressions to a critical set of planets in the United States chart, including recent years when Mars has been on natal Eastpoint incessantly. Here are the positions. (Progressed Mars today is 26°20' Virgo.)

21°31' Gem r Sun
21°55' Vir r Asc
23°11' Vir r Saturn
24°00' Gem r MC
26°45' Vir r EP

Notice that, other than the last step, there is never a 2° gap in these - meaning, that a planet passing through them would still be within 1° separating from one of them before it entered 1° applying to the other. Even that gap is closed when we add the local angles for Washington:

20°31' Vir L Asc
22°14' Gem L MC
24°43' Vir L EP

So, progressed Mars has been within 1° of one or the other of these points from the time that it reached 19°31' Virgo to 27°45' Virgo. Due to a retrogradation, this covers the uninterrupted period December 1967 to March 2042.

It then picks up again in the 22nd Century, in 2133; but this 75-year non-stop progression stream is quite enough.

I'm pretty sure I've never seen anyone mention this.

Interesting.
