That is a form of day-per-year progression. It is one of two forms of what are called “secondary progression.” The first kind is called Naibod secondary. The other is Quotidian, which means *daily*. There is just one difference — in Quotidian, the angles of the chart move in a way that is proportionate to a real chart, that is, they are timed to sidereal time. I have never been able to figure out the movement of the angles in Naibod secondary progressions; it makes no sense to me, and the timing of events in Naibod does not return a chart with accurate angles.
That is to say: if there is a New Moon by secondary progression that occurs on a certain date in “real time” (for example, at age 39) and you go back and look at the derived time on the 39th day of life, you will not get a chart you recognize *by its ascendant and MC* unless you use Quotidian secondary progressions. When I discovered this, I switched to using Quotidian secondary progressions (Q2) rather than Naibod (and I do believe that most secondary progressions use Naibod).
That said, Naibod progressions often give interesting results for the angles, but they did not ‘fit reality’ — I still chose not to use that formula once I realized it was not returning charts with angles that were proportional to real time, just like the rest of the chart is.
The other major form of progressions — called primary directions or solar arc directions – moves the whole chart at the pace of the Sun. In other words, the Sun and everything else move at about 1 degree per year, keeping all the aspects of the original chart, including aspects to the angles. It’s as if the sky (i.e., the signs) moves behind the chart, but the chart stays the same.
What’s a “Quotidian Q2”? (Which might explain how the dates match up.?)
