Frequently Asked Questions

What is tertiary progression?

A directed technique equating each day after birth with one lunar month; where secondary works on a yearly scale, tertiary works monthly.

How does it differ from secondary progression?

Speed: one day stands for a year in secondary, for about a month in tertiary. The tertiary Moon changes sign every few days, so much finer time slices become readable.

What do I look at in a tertiary chart?

First the tertiary Moon’s sign, house and aspects; then tertiary planets contacting natal points. Indicators that coincide with secondary progressions and transits gain weight.

Who developed this technique?

German astrologer E.H. Troinski systematised it in the 1950s; it is regarded as the secondary progression scaled down to the lunar month.
