A solar return chart is one of the most powerful predictive tools traditional astrology offers. It gives you a detailed snapshot of the twelve months ahead, shows you which areas of your...

Annual Profections: Your Astrological Year, Explained

If you have ever noticed that some years of your life felt like they belonged to one theme (a year of love, a year of work, a year of illness, a quieter year of retreat) and then abruptly gave way to a different theme the moment your birthday passed, you have already noticed profections in action. Annual profections are the oldest, simplest, and most reliable timing technique in traditional astrology. They tell you which area of life will be emphasised in the coming twelve months, which...
