My methods of trying to predict something with the use of astrology are kind of elaborate and detailed compared to many other astrologers. Did one expect anything different from a virgo with a capricorn ascendant? Despite the effort, you always overlook something important. Astrology is just amazingly complex that way. I did my own predictive analysis for the upcoming two years. I generally use a method now that’s been adjusted from things that I’ve been taught in my earliest courses and including techniques from the newest books in my collection. At it’s basis are some techniques from George Bode, that come from his book on Progressions. In the attachments of this article you will find the chronological list of transitions, progressions and eclipses for my chart in the coming two years. You will see there I’m using the terms ‘long wave’, ‘midwave’ and ‘short wave’.

What I generally look for in analysis are ‘hitting points’. These are clusters of transits or progressions that are:
a. Activated by the secundary moon
b. Revolve around the same subject by planet nature or make sense from the natal chart.

So this post is about showing the findings of that analysis. Perhaps I will elaborate on my adaptation of several methods another time. I got interested in doing the analysis after I found out that Eclipses seem to trigger external events in the house it falls in. I’ve figured out the upcoming eclipses focus on the houses 1 and 7, which signify relationships and/or contracts you have with for example employers. Back in 2000-2001 eclipses marked an important relationship for me as they cycle in the signs of capricorn/cancer a lot. Now in the attachment with the chronological positions you will see I marked numbers 27 to 49 in a light blue color. That to me is a major cluster. Earlier (numbers 9 through 16) is a minor cluster. I kind of stopped at the second large cluster, so please if you see something past July 2007 just yell (comment). The problem is, the major cluster coincides with an important event taking place in my job, namely the delivery of a project.

The minor cluster
I don’t expect much of the minor cluster in terms of real events happening to me, since I would still consider it too weak to be of value. Whether I’m right about that, I guess I’ll find out. Both Tr. Neptune opposite Vertex and Tr. Jupiter square Venus are returning, they were there in January 2008 as well. In January 2008 I’ve made an experience I would not like to repeat. Back then I had good hopes Tr. Neptune opposite Vertex wouldn’t do further damage in the way I viewed love, but in all honesty, I would have rather not met that person which I met back then.

The major cluster
Seeing as the major cluster coincides with the delivery of one of my projects at work, it makes it hard for me to distinguish between that and my personal life due to the dualistic nature of the astrological houses. If it in part relates to my project, I have good hopes I will be able to finish it within a (to me) acceptable time period. Tr. Jupiter opposition Mars is a great example, part of the interpretation for it is: “projects you have been working on are now culminating”. I’m suspecting it’s a little more than that though, to say the least. In the new year of 2009 I’ll be keeping my eyes pealed for attractive men, that’s for sure;) If I’ll ask you for your birthday, you’ll know what’s up;) I of course have taken a few steps to try and get it down to a smaller timeframe. Once you find a cluster you’re kind of curious if you can’t narrow it down just a bit. I have done nothing more than look at my solar return, venus return and a few lunar returns very superficially at this point. The solar return speaks of disappointment in work affairs, which I hope isn’t any stronger than my own natal transitions and progressions and takes to the latter part of the solar return year. The Venus return shows the same convincing picture (Venus, Mars and some in the first house). The lunar of December is showing interesting things to say the least. The fifth house is completely full, Venus at the seventh house, nodes right on the axis. I still have to attempt tertiary progressions and anything else I can think of!

That’ll be it for now, but I will be sure to update on this as time progresses!
