Knowing What The Future Holds With Astrology Predictions

One of the common uses of astrology is to predict the future. This is done by interpreting planetary movements in relation to other galactic bodies during a certain point in time. Can astrology be an accurate tool to predict the future? Many are skeptics and consider that astrology predictions are not any better it can be compared to a simple coin toss. However, the number of adherents is not to be disregarded because many still cling to the prospect of knowing what the future has in store for them.

There is a variety of techniques, which astrologers use to look into the future of a person. Followers of any of these techniques, in whatever complex method they work, assert that these tools are good means to give predictions and guide them in making plans for tomorrow. Here are some of the preferred techniques in making astrology predictions to cause the future present itself before it even unfolds.

Transit and Cycles

An individual’s natal chart is like being photographed from the sky the moment he is born. It stays with him throughout the course of his life as intergalactic bodies continue to move in cycles. As these movements happen special relationships are formed between them that produce forces and effects to the person’s natal chart. To determine this occurrence, astrological transits are used to predict trends and developments in the future. It is used to interpret planet movement as they continuously transit the horoscope. Transits act as stimulus in triggering a person’s psychological being.

In getting an overview of the future, it is best to look initially at the outer planet transits and cycles before fine tuning predictions with the inner planet transits and cycles. Outer planets are those slow-moving transits which have large effect in a person’s natal chart. Having a perspective from the outside in is best because this offers an extensive impression of the transits and conditions. This provides astrology predictions better options to be used for refinements that can be generated from the inner planet transits.

Solar Returns

The Solar Return charts use charts that are calculated at the precise point when the sun returns to its original position (to happen within two days of a person’s birthday). This works very much like natal charts but the effect works only within the span of a year. As the name implies, this technique largely depends on the condition of the sun and its position relative to us, our house, business address, and other areas where we want to determine the physical and external prospects. It also factors the moon’s aspect in determining emotional vicissitudes focusing mainly on love and relationship. It completely guides a person how to become rational and be in control of his feelings.

Unlike the natal charts, solar return charts are transient. This means that the readings are not likely to persist after a year. For example if a person wants to determine financial prospects, he can observe the return’s second and eighth house as well as how planet Venus acts. If Venus rules the house and is opposite planet Neptune, a future of instability and less materialism awaits the person. However, a better future can be expected after the charts lose their effect after a year.

Other predictive techniques exist and present themselves to be accurate in knowing a person’s future. Precise or not, the important factor lies in their ability to challenge and put pressure to effect some changes in the life of an individual. They may bring good tidings but at times may produce scary prospects. Overall, they help people to collect themselves and face whatever astrology predictions reveal what lies ahead.
