Section 2 – Predictive Astrology

2.1 Please choose the statements that best fit your understanding of the nature of

predictive astrology. Predictive astrology is:

The application of particular mathematical techniques (like transits, progressions and returns) to a

horoscope in an attempt to gain information concerning the future.

2) The use of a horoscope intuitively to divine the future.

3) The application of a set of rules to a horoscope for the moment of an event in order to foretell the likely

outcome of that event – horary astrology.

4) Working with a person’s natal horoscope to seek insights into their future behaviour by understanding

their personality and/or psychological makeup – reading a natal chart.

If you do not use any form of predictive or natal astrology please now move to Section 3

2.2 Please choose one statement that best fits how you think predictive astrology helps

you in your life:

I use it to understand why life can be so difficult at times

2) It allows me to relax and let my chart inform me of the path to take in my life.

3) It gives me an understanding retrospectively of why things have happened in my life but I

never use it to look at the future.

It explains the past and also tells me what will happen in my life, and when, so I am

mentally prepared for the problems.

5) It allows me to know the time for doing spiritual practices to help me balance the planetary

energies.

6) It gives me a framework for understanding, not only what has happened, but also how to

make the most of the potential contained in future patterns.

2.3

Please choose one statement that best fits how you would use predictive astrology

when something unpleasant happens in your life:

1) I look at my chart to simply see what it was astrologically.

2) I use it to find out why it happened and understand what the “planets” had in store for

me.

3) I look at the astrology and worry about the next time the same astrological indicators will

be present.

4) I look at the astrology to be prepared for a similar problem in the future.

5) I meditate on the planetary energies and seek to work with them more effectively in my

life.

I look at the astrology and use this information to help shape my path of action in the

future.
