Progress SUN Inconjunct MOON ( Secondary Progression )

This is another aspect suggesting a health problem, perhaps due to an emotional crisis. The sign and house position should provide some clue as to the person who may impose upon the native, who may have to adapt to changing family situations.

The following table provides a framework for understanding the core conflict and the necessary adjustment task for each of the six possible inconjunct house pairings.

House AxisThe Core ConflictThe Adjustment Task
1st (Self) / 6th (Service)The evolving sense of personal identity and vitality (1st) feels constrained by, or at odds with, daily work routines, health habits, and duties to others (6th). "Who I am becoming is not supported by what I do every day."To redefine one's identity in a way that is of practical service, and to adjust daily routines, work, and health practices so they support, rather than undermine, one's personal vitality and self-expression.
2nd (Values) / 7th (Partnership)The evolving focus on personal resources, values, and self-worth (2nd) creates friction with the needs and demands of significant one-to-one relationships (7th). "What I need to feel secure financially and personally is in conflict with what my partner needs from me."To adjust one's value system to accommodate the reality of partnership, and to restructure relationships so they support, rather than compromise, one's core sense of security and self-worth.
3rd (Mind) / 8th (Depth)The evolving focus on communication, learning, and the immediate environment (3rd) feels superficial or disconnected from the need for deep, transformative, and intimate experiences (8th). "My daily thoughts and interactions feel misaligned with my deep psychological and emotional needs."To learn to communicate about deeper, more vulnerable truths, and to find ways to integrate profound psychological insights into one's daily life and immediate community.
4th (Roots) / 9th (Horizons)The evolving need for a secure home base, emotional foundation, and connection to the past (4th) is in conflict with a growing urge for expansion, travel, higher learning, and new belief systems (9th). "My need for a safe home is at odds with my desire to explore the world."To find a way to expand one's horizons without losing a sense of rootedness. This could mean creating a "home base" for one's adventures or integrating new philosophies into one's family life.
5th (Creativity) / 10th (Career)The evolving drive for creative self-expression, romance, and personal joy (5th) feels incompatible with the demands of one's public role, career, and long-term ambitions (10th). "My need to play and create is in conflict with my professional responsibilities."To find a career path that allows for genuine creative expression, or to consciously make space for joy and romance alongside professional ambitions, adjusting one's public image to reflect a more authentic self.
11th (Community) / 12th (Spirit)The evolving focus on friendships, group affiliations, and future ideals (11th) feels disconnected from the need for solitude, spiritual retreat, and dealing with the unconscious (12th). "My social life feels draining or at odds with my inner spiritual needs."To adjust one's social circle to align with one's spiritual values, and to learn to balance the demands of community involvement with the necessary cycles of retreat, rest, and introspection.

At the heart of the Progressed Sun inconjunct Natal Moon aspect are the two great luminaries of the horoscope. They represent the primary archetypal polarity within the human psyche: the relationship between the conscious, individuating will and the unconscious, instinctual self. Understanding their distinct yet complementary roles is essential to deciphering the conflict and the opportunity presented by their inconjunct alignment.


The mechanical basis of secondary progressions is the "day for a year" formula. This principle establishes a symbolic equivalence where each day following an individual's birth corresponds to one full year of their life. For example, the positions of the planets in the ephemeris on the 25th day after one's birth are taken to be the progressed planetary positions for the 25th year of life. The planetary patterns that unfolded in the sky during the first three months of life thus become a symbolic blueprint for the first ninety years of development, with each day's celestial narrative expanding to fill a year.
