What's the difference between the three progression techniques? Secondary progressions move one day for each year of life, the classic method for tracking multi-year development arcs and 7-8 year cycles.
Tertiary progressions move one day for each sidereal lunar month (about 27.3 days) - roughly 13.367 times faster than secondary - which makes them useful for fine-grained short-term timing, week-to-week coaching check-ins, or spotting the exact window a breakthrough opens.
Minor progressions move one sidereal lunar month for each year of life, about 27.322 times faster than secondary, giving an intermediate timing layer some traditional astrologers use to bridge the gap between slow secondary themes and fast-moving transits.
All three run through the same `POST /api/v3/charts/progressions` endpoint - just set `progression_type` to `secondary`, `tertiary`, or `minor` and pass your `target_date`.
Primary directions remain a separate technique and are not yet available.
