What is Progression:

• Various forms of progressions exist, including Primary progression, Solar Arc progression, and Tertiary progression (Lunar Progression).
• In Four-pillar charts, a month equates to a decade for projecting progressions based on Chinese calendar divisions.

Transit:

• In astrology, transit involves examining planetary placements at a specific time.
• In Four-pillar charts, natal chart, progression, and transit are combined for predictive purposes.
