Relocation for progressed planetary lines?

I have been doing a lot of digging into relocation astrology and I tend to just use the natal chart and relocate that. But just yesterday I downloaded a trial version of Janus and it has this feature to animate the astrocartography chart and show the progressed planetary lines as well as transits.

Any of you had experience reading into the progressed lines as well as natal lines in the astrocartography?
I think that the progressions and transits should normally just be read as triggers to the natal ... but am wondering if we should use it also in the relocation assessments?

No experience with progressed lines, but I have read where some astrologers swear by them. I think the inventor of relocation maps, Lewis used then a-lot.

For the record, Jim Lewis wasn't the inventor, though he could rightly be called the popularizer.

Fagan and Bradley both wrote about the idea for years. Gary Duncan computer generated such maps for New Moons and Full Moons for Llewellyn Publications' yearbook from the '60s on.

Sorry about my error, thanks for correcting the record. At one time, I read Lewis's books on the subject matter, and it seems he thought highly of the progressed lines. Jim, do you have any experience or opinions about progressed lines?

No, not really. There's no reason they shouldn't be of SOME importance, though, because local progressed angles are important.

Its never seemed important to map them because (1) one can so easily check the angles for where one is actually located, and (2) OTOH I wouldn't go searching for a "lucky" location because they are transient they only last for a while. I'd check for how the lines are going to be permanently.

But if the way of representing them visually works for you then, sure, it's workable enough.

Jim, I have always felt the same as you about progressed lines, I was only asking for Arena's original question. I wish I could find some of my notes from the distant past about progressed lines where I could quote the words, but I have so many past notes and at age 70, there is no way my mind can track them down.
