How to read your converse progressions in astrology

I'm reading Predictive Astrology by Christine Shaw. There's a wealth of information in the book - and covers everything from transits to progressions. And while I'm already familiar with them, she explains things in a way that is easy to understand and very clear. She also covers techniques I'd never heard of, such as converse progressions. So while regular progressions represent a day after birth for each year of life (for example, 34 years of age would be calculated by going 34 days after your birthday in an ephemeris), converse progressions are a day before your birthday for every year of life. You'd read a converse progressed chart much like how you'd read a progressed chart - alone and then overlapping the natal with a biwheel.

And since I am my own best guinea pig, I though I'd put them to the test. If you're looking to calculate your own converse progressions, you can calculate them on most types of astrology software. You can also calculate them for free on Astro-Seek. Just go from Angles & Direction and press Converse Prog. (Backward Direction, ARMC 1 Naibod).
