Intrepid introduces 7 new bodies in the heavens (plus Juno) to form the "Planetary Companions" [formerly called "upper harmonics"] of the eight planets.  It is very easy to adapt to these new bodies as they mean the plural of their related planet.

For example, Jupiter's largest moon, Ganymede, is the plural of Jupiter and means multiple expansions.  The symbol for Ganymede (plural Jupiter) is  Q which looks like a plural Jupiter.  Please note that the six natural satellites are only accurate between the years 1900 and 2100.  All asteroids are accurate between years 1500 and 2100.  The Sun, the Moon and all the planets are accurate between -5400 and +5400.

All 7 of the other bodies are the same.  Their meaning is the plural of their related planet and their symbol is clearly the plural of the symbol of its related planet.  The only exception is Charon, the moon of Pluto which is simply the symbol for Pluto with a dot added near the circle to represent Charon circling around Pluto.  Those interested in the details of SELF-EVIDENT ASTROLOGY (tm)  and how the meanings of the plurals were derived should request my book "SELF-EVIDENT ASTROLOGY (tm)".

SELF-EVIDENT ASTROLOGY(tm) introduces 3 entirely new progressions and modifies (with dramatic results)  both the Minor and Tertiary Progressions.  Minor and Tertiary progressions are based on the position of the lunar return.  This idea was derived from the way the Day per Year progression is based on the return position of the Sun.

However, in SELF-EVIDENT ASTROLOGY(tm) the Moon is looked at for its own characteristics. In short. the important motion of the Moon is the lunation, not the return, hence we introduce Day per Lunation and Lunation per Year.

The three new progressions are based on the nodes of the Moon. The logic is that if the Sun has a fast (daily) motion and a slow (annual) motion, then since the Moon has a slow motion (lunation) why not include the slower motion of the moon, nodal cycles ( which take roughly 18.6 years).

Hence we introduce; Day per Node Cycle, Lunation per Node Cycle & Year per Node Cycle.  We recommend especially the Lunation per Node Cycle as it contains both lunar motions just as Day per Year contains both solar actions. And as Day per Year gives insights into the start of things, Lunation per Node Cycle gives insight into the ending of things.

Note- Nodal progressions do not have a constant speed and will often turn station retrograde and station direct frequently. This is correct and is due to the motion of the True North Node of the Moon. See HELP section on Arc Directed and Progressions .
