AE1 = cat, bat

OW1 = go, boat
UW1 = boot, do
Stress Numbers:
0 = no stress (unstressed)
1 = primary stress (loud)

The stressed syllable (marked with 1) is pronounced louder and clearer than others.

Quick Definition

A planet entering a new sign, triggering thematic shifts or events. Poetry uses ingression for threshold crossings or ingressive narrative beginnings.

Detailed Definition
Ingressions, solar returns' basis, mark annual themes in mundane astrology. In verse, they enter like Wordsworth's seasonal shifts. Literary transitions symbolize change. The term's entry poeticizes arrival, where ingressing planets usher eras, inspiring motifs of adaptation, invasion, and the dynamic influx of stellar influences.
Example
Example in poetry:
In ingression of seasons, Wordsworth enters: "Spring's ingression floods the daffodils with light."; Shakespeare's solstice ingress: "Sun's ingression crowns the midsummer's greenwood rite."; Modern poet Robert Haas ingress: "Ingress of fog mutes the valley's autumn call."; In Yeats' phases, ingress shifts: "New moon's ingression turns the gyre's inner wheel."; Louise Glück ingress birth: "Ingress of child parts the body's ancient sea."
Additional Notes
Ingression shifts sign themes, e.g., Sun to Aries springs. In poetry, ingresses threshold crossings—tip: mundane charts; for event triggers.
