With an updated and expanded ephemeris (1920-2120), Robert Blaschke's classic Progressions is an essential fixture on any serious astrologer's bookshelf. Blaschke takes you well beyond secondary progressions and demonstrates how the time keys of tertiary and minor progressions interface with the secondary progressed time scale. In addition, you will learn about converse progressions, progressions and synastry, as well as a thorough check-list to help you apply this material in a consultation setting.
From the foreword to the first edition, by Rob Hand:
"This book by Robert Blaschke on progressions is quite accessible to astrological readers of many levels, but it is not a beginner's book. It does not just give the basics of progressions. It goes beyond that to provide a practical and theoretical foundation for integrating the various methods of progression into a single body of method in which each method has its place and there is as little overlap as possible. [...] this book should advance the study of progressions in astrology on both the practical and theoretical level and for this we owe Robert Blaschke a vote of thanks."
From the foreword to the second edition by Jenn Zahrt:
"Twenty-six years after its first publication, Robert Blaschke's Progressions remains a definitive work on the theory and application of progressing natal charts. It was in this book that I first came across the concepts of tertiary and minor progressed time scales, converse progressions, and progressed time twins. These techniques grip me, and I see them coming to life all around me through my relationships. I happen to know an uncanny amount of people born within a month of me, and the secondary direct and converse progressions unfurl in a symphony of synastry. Astrology chooses you, and chooses you to transmit its living wisdom. It clearly chose Robert, and his work has been a major inspiration for my own, and that of so many astrologers in our community.
"Progressions is the first book in his five-volume Astrology: A Language of Life series. Robert had two more books planned before cancer took him from this world far too soon. As his great friend Mary Plumb wrote in a blog post for The Mountain Astrologer, "he passed away peacefully on January 18, 2011." He was 57.
"Through his Earthwalk School of Astrology, Robert proudly bootstrapped his own publications. This means he had to maximize every millimeter of the page to squeeze the most value out of the print run. Thanks to the generous permission of Carol Cilliers Blaschke, Robert's books will be re-typeset and updated in second editions through Revelore Press to allow ample breathing room for his magnificent ideas to shine through. As pertains to Progressions, the ephemeris in the first edition provided data from 1920-2010; the second edition expands the ephemeris by another century to make this book a complete resource for decades to come.
"At the 2012 United Astrology Conference in New Orleans, Robert was posthumously nominated for-and won-the Marion D. March Regulus Award for Discovery, Innovation, and Research. When you read his volumes of Astrology: A Language of Life, you will know why."
