Some interesting synastry

On June 15, 2019 I’ll be giving a presentation about solar returns at a conference in San Sebastián, Spain.  It occurred to me to compare my secondary progressed natal chart for my birth place on that date to my birth chart relocated for that city.  Here is the comparison with the birth chart relocated to San Sebastián in the center and the progressions for the birthplace for June 15th in the outer wheel.

The first thing that struck me is that relocating my natal chart to San Sebastián puts my natal Ascendant at 6 Sag 41 in that city in close conjunction to my secondary progressed ascendant at my birthplace in June of this year.

My natal Sun moves to the 9th house which rules astrology and conferences (higher education).  Progressed Jupiter in the relocated 10th house trines natal Uranus, a modern planet associated with astrology.  The progressed Part of Fortune closely trines the relocated Placidus 9th house cusp (astrology, conferences, long-distance travel).  The progressed lunar nodes favorably aspect the relocated natal Part of Fortune.  There is a strong emphasis on the 8th house, which among other things rules esoteric and occult subjects.  In addition, a large part of my talk has to do with the astrological factors in effect at the death (an 8th house matter) of a significant historical figure.

There are several other connections which I leave it to the reader to examine.  All in all, it is a fascinating exercise to observe the synastry between the relocated natal chart and the secondary progressions for this event.
