Progressed Declination Graphs

I first became interested in the progressed declination graph as I read Carolyn Egan's words, and then friend Lisa's discussions. These charts are easy to read (there are examples below). Note the curvy line-that is the declination moon, progressed. Note the dates when it is at the highest point of the curve (north max), and the lowest point of the curve (south max), and note when it crosses the zero point (I wish this line could be darker). Also note when the curved line crosses other planetary lines. These points are when it appears that big life changes occur.

I have found these charts fascinating. For instance, several days prior to the Oscars I was playing with a couple Oscar nominee's charts and had decided based on the graphs, that Halle Berry could win in the best actress category. I wrote the following to the AstroLife astrology list, on 22 March (the Oscars being 24 March 2002):

"Sissy Spacek and Halle Berry supposedly have the best odds of winning the Oscar in the best actress category according to entertainment prognosis. I haven't looked at the data of the others in this category. The consensus has been that Sissy will win. I, however, am going to go with Halle based on the progressed declination graphs. I feel Halle will win because she is closest to max north (this is the only reason I'm saying this, I'm just checking out these graphs for the moment, not the whole chart).

Sissy is coming out of max south. Interestingly it looks like the moon crossed sun and mercury at the beginning of 2002 (I don't know if that will be strong enough to give her a win since it is past exact). Interestingly, in 1980 when the moon was going north, but not at all close to max, AND, crossing Saturn, she won the Oscar for 'The Coal Miner's Daughter'. I think this is funny--apropos for a Capricorn in a movie about a coal miner's daughter. :)

I've also included Julia Roberts who won in the same best actress category in March 2001. Interestingly her moon was going to south max, however hers was sitting smack dab on sun and mars which were crossing each other, which apparently contributed to the win.

Sooo...once again, basing it only on these charts, it'll be interesting to see if the max north has the impact to give Halle the win despite the odds."

That was the end of my post, and the progressed declination graphs proved to be right in this case since Halle won best actress!

I discuss Sean Penn below these graphs.

I found the data on the web. Carolyn Minsker gives the time in post to Star Study astro list, source listed as the web.

Sissy Spacek's progressed declination graph

Comments: Note from Birth Registry (Edwin Steinbrecher, AA)
Spacek made an official film debut in June 1972, and was a star by 1976 with the horror film 'Carrie'. In 1980, she portrayed Loretta Lynn in 'Coal Miner's Daughter' and won the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Julia Roberts' progressed declination graph

Comments: Julia was briefly engaged to Dylan McDermott, who played her husband in "Steel Magnolias," 1989. Roberts and Kiefer Sutherland were inseparable in 1991 since meeting on the set of "Flatliners" the previous year. Engaged to be married on 14 jun 91, she dumped him at the altar, running off with actor Jason Patric. She met 35-year-old country music star Lyle Lovett while filming "The Player," 1992. In a sudden move that surprised everyone, they married on 25 jun 93 in Marion, IN. (Lovett was born 11/01/1956, Klein, Texas.) The marriage ended in divorce on 3/22/1995 though they remain best friends. After four years with Benjamin Bratt, they ended the relationship in May 2001. (This information from Lois Rodden's site.)
Sean Penn was nominated in the best actor category in these March 2002 Oscars too. I could not even imagine him being Sean Penn he was so much 'Sam' in the movie "I Am Sam". Normally I think about the actor who is in the role. Although Penn's acting in the 'I am Sam' role was brilliant, and he was recognized by getting the nomination, no one 'talked' about his performance. I couldn't believe that he wasn't considered a strong contender even though he's not one to rush out for the attention. Yes there are politics, BUT, there are also critics and others who 'shouldn't be' swayed by the politics and the advertising. I just had to check Sean Penn's data, and sure enough, he's at max south during this time! Unbelievable (or should I say believable)! And the max south to me DOES explain this 'non recognition' despite his anti-establishment persona.
