Secondary Progressions are widely regarded as one of the most accurate and helpful techniques in your astrological practice. However, it is not the only scale of time progression! There are also measures of the astrological clock, known as tertiary and minor progressions, that open new dimensions around how and when personal narratives unfold.

Three Measures of Time is a practical, integrative course on using secondary, tertiary, and minor progressions as a unified system of astrological timing. Rather than treating each technique in isolation, this course demonstrates how these three scales of progressed time nest within one another to reveal layered patterns of inner development and outer manifestation.
