Predictive Astrology: Tools to Forecast Your Life and Create Your Brightest Future

by Bernadette Brady, Theresa Reed (Foreword by)

Overview

A groundbreaking work that offers deep insights and astrological techniques for bringing the future to light.

"Predictive Astrology is one of the first astrology books that opened my eyes to the idea that astrology is about cycles of time. And that you can predict when certain things will happen based on where the planets are in the sky now compared to where they were when you were born."—Katie Sweetman, from O Magazine's "15 Best Astrology Books for Anyone Who Can't Get Enough of the Zodiac"

Predictive Astrology shows the reader how to use Time Maps to approach to the fate of the transits, and includes new methods for calibrating and filtering progressions, returns of all kinds, eclipses, and planetary areas. By combining these techniques, you can reveal the future and put various aspects of your life into perspective.

Offering many new techniques and concepts, this classic groundbreaking work (first published in 1976) is finding a new and growing audience. The book brings predictive astrology into a world of its own.

This new Weiser Classics edition includes a new foreword by Theresa Reed, author of Astrology for Real Life.
