Predictive Astrology

Predictive Astrology refers to the branch of astrology focused on forecasting future events, mapping psychological phases, and identifying optimal timing for human activity. Utilizing time-lord techniques, transits, progressions, directions, solar returns, and eclipses, this practice evaluates how unfolding planetary cycles interact with natal placements to reveal potential developments, environmental trends, and dynamic windows of opportunity or challenge across a person’s lifetime.
