Hello! Processing Yesterdays workshop, which was fascinating, overwhelming and left me deeply confused, which is OK! My question right now is about how long the phases are. For example, as someone approaches a first quarter square P/M transit, how long would they expect to stay there? If I'm using Mars as the stationary planet in my natal chart, then I'm looking at how Pluto is moving (transiting) in relation to Mars, yes?

The secondary progressed chart correlates to the "progress of your evolution", primary from a subjective viewpoint. Progressed Pluto moves very, very slow. On average, progressed Mars moves about 1 degree over two years. When Mars turns retrograde via progression, it will stay retrograde for 58 - 81 years. Progressed planetary changes of direction, whether to retrograde or from retrograde to direct are indicative of evolutionary turning points and next evolutionary chapters. A change of phase (from natal Pluto/Mars) - that is to say, between progressed Pluto and progressed Mars, shifts in the momentum or drive regarding the soul will/personal will activation - i.e the motivation for a new phase is to seek fresh experience, the motivation for a balasmic phase is to culminate (relinquish, surrender and transcend), etc.
