Predictive astrology (Progressions & Transits) is the art of forecasting how cosmic cycles unfold in an individual’s life. While the natal chart describes inherent traits and potentials, progressions reveal how time activates and transforms those potentials, influencing emotions, career, relationships, and life direction.
Transits
Observing the current planetary positions relative to the natal chart.
Example: Jupiter conjunct the natal Sun brings opportunities; Saturn square the natal Moon may signal emotional or family challenges.
Best for short-term forecasting (months to years).
Secondary Progressions
“One day = one year” method.
Tracks inner psychological development.
Example: The progressed Moon completes a 28-year cycle, marking emotional and personal phases.
Ideal for long-term inner growth.
Solar Arc Directions
All planets advance by the same arc as the Sun.
Often linked to life-changing events.
Example: Solar arc Venus conjunct natal Sun may indicate love, marriage, or artistic achievement.
Solar Return Chart
Cast for the exact moment the Sun returns to its natal degree each year.
Outlines annual themes in career, love, and personal growth.
Perfect for yearly planning.
Lunar Returns & Composite Forecasts
Lunar return charts track emotional trends for 1–2 months.
Composite progressions reveal the evolving dynamics in relationships and partnerships.
Career: Jupiter and Saturn transits highlight professional growth and responsibilities.
Love & Marriage: Venus and Moon progressions reveal romantic cycles and turning points in relationships.
Health & Vitality: Saturn and Chiron progressions may signal times to focus on physical and emotional well-being.
Major Life Shifts: Solar arc or secondary progressed aspects often coincide with marriage, relocation, career changes, or family milestones.
Predictive astrology is not about fatalistic destiny, but about recognizing timing and rhythm. By reading progressions and transits, we gain a map of opportunities and challenges, empowering us to make wiser decisions and embrace transformation.
