Within the framework of secondary progressions, the Progressed Sun holds a position of paramount importance. It is often described as the "hour hand on the cosmic clock of life". Moving at a slow and steady pace of approximately one degree per year, it symbolizes the gradual evolution of our core self, our ego, our vitality, and our fundamental life purpose.
- ✍(◔◡◔) NOTE : Seconday progressions can offer insights into potential areas of focus in a given year. Using the formula base on the Bible That 1 day is Equal to 1 year.
If through progression the Sun should form a sextile with the Ascendant, a trine aspect will result between the Sun and Descendant. Whatever aspects one house cusp will aspect the other because they are of the same quality and degree.
It is impossible to understand the Ascendant without the Descendant, as they form a single, integrated axis of Self and Other. This axis encapsulates the fundamental dynamic between how we project our identity (AC) and how we engage in partnership (DC). They are inextricably linked; a shift in our sense of self and how we present ourselves to the world will inevitably lead to a corresponding shift in the types of partners and relationship dynamics we attract. When we change who we are, we change who we are with.
This aspect endows the native with a strong sense of self-confidence and emotional balance for the ego is at its best. There is good organizational ability with the capacity to get along well with others. A desire to achieve personal importance or advancement can bring favorable dealings with men and those in authority.
This is also an aspect of marriage.
If the native is already married, it can indicate that the spouse’s career will be enhanced. Sometimes, if the fifth house agrees, this aspect may presage the birth of a male child.

This significant alignment, occurring through the symbolic "day for a year" predictive technique of secondary progressions, shifts the core focus of one's identity and life force (the Sun) onto the realm of relationships, partnerships, and how one connects with the "other" (the Descendant). This is a time when the "I" begins to be defined more acutely through the "we."
The Descendant, located on the cusp of the seventh house, is the point in the birth chart that directly opposes the Ascendant (the self). While the Ascendant represents one's personal identity and how they project themselves into the world, the Descendant symbolizes what we seek in others, the qualities we are drawn to in partners (both romantic and otherwise), and the nature of our one-on-one interactions.
The Timing of the Progression
The influence of the Progressed Sun conjunct the Descendant is not a fleeting one. Since the Progressed Sun moves so slowly, the effects of this conjunction can be felt for a period of about one to two years. The energy will be most potent in the year that the conjunction is exact, but you will likely feel the themes building before the event and integrating for a year or so after.
