One of the most reliable and far-reaching methods for astrological prediction is the technique
of the solar arc directions. This technique uses the progressed movement of the Sun to
determine the proportion to "direct" the other planets forward. The directions of
Solar arcs are like secondary progressions, they examine the organic movement of the
planets on the days immediately after birth, with which each planet is
move at real speed. Instead, the solar arc method directs all the planets and
angles moving forward at a consistent speed: approximately one degree per year - the
average daily movement of the Sun and the annual movement of the progressed Sun. The rate of
The exact solar arc varies slightly depending on the time of year when one was born.
The Sun travels a little more slowly during the summer months, and therefore,

a little less than one degree per year of life.

However, we can start with the assumption that all planets and angles are
they direct forward approximately one degree per year of life, which allows us to do
some far-reaching predictions about the development of our potential letter
natal. Using solar arcs, we can reconstruct and anticipate the crucial moments of life
of a person at a glance visually projecting the natal planets and angles towards
forward to complete the aspects that other planets or angles make with each other through the
approximation of the dates when these aspects are activated or have their effect.

We are going to examine a letter from a woman we will call 'Holly'

See the letter. Holly's natal Sun is at 17° 43' of Sagittarius, and Venus is at 24° 10' of
Sagittarius. These two planets are separated by a distance of 6° 27'.

This corresponds to the age of 6 years and 6 months. When the solar arc (SA) Sun was in
conjunction with its natal Venus, when it was in the first degree, attended an art school.

Calculation of the Solar Arc

To calculate your solar arc directions, follow this procedure: Look for your birthday in
the anniversaries. Determine your current age in years and months. Let's say you are 40 years old and
4 months old. Count 40 days after the date of their birth. This is the date.
advanced for her 40th birthday. To account for the extra months since her date.
At birth, multiply 4 months by 2 hours = 8 hours. Add 8 hours to your natal time of
Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) birth. Let's review the logic of this: By progression, one day
after birth (or 24 hours) is symbolically equivalent to a year of life (12
months), so two hours after birth corresponds to one month of life.

Calculate your current age. Find the progressed date in GMT according to your age.

distance between your natal Sun and progressed Sun. In our example, this distance will be
approximately 40° 20 '. This distance is called the solar arc. Now, add this
arch to each of its natal planets and angles (ascendant, descendant, MC, and IC). These
they are their planets and solar angles directed by arc. Please note the current contacts,
futures, or recently completed solar arc transitions to their natal planets or
angles. Pay special attention to conjunctions, oppositions, squares, semi-
squares (45°) and sesquiquadrates (135°) - the kinetic aspects (which are called that way
because they tend to be dynamic and producers of change). It's easy to locate the conjunction,
square and opposition. For example, the progressed Moon in Cancer at 18° is opposite to
Saturn at 18° Capricorn. But it is not so obvious at first glance since the Moon is at 18° Cancer.
It is also 45° (semi-square) to 3° Gemini and 3° Virgo, and it is also at 135°.
(sesquiquadrature) at 3° of Sagittarius and 3° of Pisces. Therefore, any planet placed in
These degrees are receiving an aspect from the planet by solar arc. To use directions of
solar arch, you need to start paying attention to the aspects of semi-square and sesqui-
square such that they represent 1/8 of a circle (45°) and 3/8 of a circle (135°), respectively.

Investigate recent and future contacts by solar arcs, current and future. Take note of
what happened in the past or predict what may happen with future contacts. Study
carefully the development of your natal chart by the direction of the solar arc from the beginning
of his life. Start with planets near the angles, and consider the time it will take the
natal planet to contact the solar arc angle. Identify the correlations between the
planets and angles involved, and take note as closely as possible when this
happen. You can do this at a glance, the calculation of the distance between the planets and
between the planets and angles. Take 5 arc minutes per month or 60 arc minutes per year.

these arches with precision. Keep a record of all your findings.

A detailed example

To learn any prediction method, we have to study retrospectively.

We look back at the past before looking towards the future. The studies are conducted on the
events that have already occurred and we find correlations between the events and
planetary transits and progressions. Let's study our own charts in depth to
see how we have responded to past planetary contacts. Let's also study
personal stories, to see how a person's natal patterns have manifested
through aspects via transits and progressions. Through the study of events
in the past, we can begin to anticipate the result of future transits and progressions: from
this way we can predict. Let's start to discern how transits work and
progressions and how events correlate with real life.

We will learn to be alert for similar events in the future. This is how we will develop
the art of anticipation.
