WB,
I don't doubt that this information is way too left-brain for most folks here. It is for me. I believe I've known maybe a half-dozen people in my life who had enough raw brain power to use this information in the form of data like this. I would not personally be among that number.
What I rely on is the Mk. I eyeball and some intuition. I use the lists, but I constantly refer back to the chartwheels. Most of the essential things pop out, sooner or later (generally right after I’ve posted something).
Rather than statistics, what would be more helpful I think would be a program that could follow a simple decision tree in evaluating this myriad of possibly important aspects. It would go down through the various progressions (& etc) in pretty much the order I've presented them here in this thread.
For example:
Routine I
Run Major progressions
Result (save the most significant Major progressions within 1 degree or less. To make a simplified example: )
Major progressed Saturn (8th house) semisquare Uranus (10th house)
Major progressed Saturn to conjunction antiscion Mercury (8th house)
Major Midheaven and Major Moon's Nodes to radical Pluto
Routine II
Run Tertiary progressions
Compare Tertiary progressions to natal, antiscion and progressed planets (from above)
Do any Tertiary progressions aspect natal, antiscion or progressed positions of Saturn, Uranus, Mercury, Midheaven or Moon’s Nodes?
If Yes, save; if No, discard.
Routine III
Run Minor progressions
Compare Minor progressions to natal, antiscion and Major progressed planetary positions (from above steps)
Do any Minor progressions aspect natal, antiscion or Major progressed positions of Saturn, Uranus, Mercury, Midheaven or Moon’s Nodes?
If Yes, save; if No, discard.
Do any Minor progressions aspect Tertiary positions saved in Routine II?
If Yes, save; if No, discard.
Routine IV
Run Transits.
Compare Transits to natal, antiscion and Major progressed planetary positions (from above steps)
Do any Transits aspect natal, antiscion or Major progressed positions of Saturn, Uranus, Mercury, Midheaven or Moon’s Nodes?
If Yes, save; if No, discard.
Do any Transits aspect Tertiary positions saved in Routine II?
If Yes, save; if No, discard.
Do any Transits aspect Minor positions saved in Routine III?
If Yes, save; if No, discard.
Routine V
Group all Tertiary, Minor or Transit aspects with the Major aspects they reinforce, in this order
Major
Tertiary
Minor
Transits
Discard any non-reinforced Major aspects.
Discard any aspect configurations not triggered by Transits.
What’s left ought to account for any significant experience the native has. Right?
In such a program, it might also be possible to quantify the power of the aspects by orb, etc.
That’s the basic algorithm that I think should be followed. It’s logically pretty simple but as you can imagine, takes a fair amount of time and concentration, with lots of room for human error.
It’s basically similar to the routine the Church of Light astrologers have been doing manually for over 100 years.
The example only accounts for progressions for illustrative purposes. In practice I would like to see in mundo connections to the angles, Equatorial directions, Solar/Lunar Arc directions, Solar/Lunar returns and progressed returns, etc. Ideally there would be a loop that would allow the user to add in other predictive techniques along the way as desired.
Maybe Kaktuzz or some other astrological programmer with not one other thing in the world to do could write a program that does this.
Or maybe it’s me and Microsoft Office for the duration.
