Progressions have no effect on the the natal tendencies, but they do show the change in the challenges that you are presented with as you get older. For example, I am OLD(76 years). The challenges that I had from about 1949-1969, are long gone. At my advanced age I have a whole new set of challenges.
So the progressions are not going to show a direction your life is going. YOU have to decide that. But they will tell you what your general challenges are going to center around, what your feelings about these general challenges are going to be about, and the kinds of planning and thinking you have about your general new challenges.
Your direction is your free will choice in dealing with the challenges. Tropical astrologers dealing with persons in the west, generally do not believe in fate.
You cannot explore all this through a one shot reading. If you wanted to do it online, you would need to search for someone who does Journal based CBT(cognitive behavioral therapy) psychological counseling, or for someone who does Journal Based CBT Astrological Counseling. What you get here is likely to only offer you the first step.
And that first step would(IMO) not be just looking at your Sun entering Scorpio, but on your Secondary Progressed Return Chart for your current birthday, followed up by your tertiary progressed return chart, and your minor progressed return chart.
