Introduction to Transits
Predictive Astrology Workshop
PARTS 1-5 on DISC 1.
General Introduction
These notes form part of the Astro Logos teaching syllabus which
accompanies the Astro Logos Predictive Astrology lectures. These are classic
lectures delivered by Bernadette Brady and Darrelyn Gunzburg to their
students in face-to-face sessions between 1990-2002 in Adelaide, South
Australia. Both lecturers make frequent references to Predictive Astrology:
The Eagle and The Lark by Bernadette Brady (Samuel Weiser Inc, 1992,
1998). Although not essential, this book is a helpful adjunct in learning
predictive astrology.
Finding Transits
2
When Margaret Thatcher was born V was at
140 D. Currently V is in J. That means that
during her life time V has transited through her
9th house, passed over her M, conjuncted her
MC, moved through her 10th house, entered the
11th house, conjuncted her Q, her N and her
O, entered her 12th house, conjuncted her S
and Ascendant, entered her 1st house,
conjuncted her P and and is currently transiting
through her 2nd house.
Now look to see when V was at the same degree as her natal Q which is at 90 G
28’. V moved over this zodiac degree and minute on the 12th October 1975. It
then moved forward until in January 1976 V it went retrograde. It then formed
another conjunction to Q on 3rd May 1976. This is known as the retrograde hit, as
transiting V appeared to move ‘backwards’ over this sensitive point. In June of
1976 V turned direct and once again moved forward through the zodiac and
formed a third conjunction to Q on the 3rd August 1976. The transit of V conjunct
natal Q was therefore effective from the 12th October 1975 to the 3rd August
1976. It was during this period of time that Margaret Thatcher became the leader
of the Conservative party in the House of Commons.
See if you can find the dates of the three exact transiting conjunctions to her
natal N? This was the period in which she became Prime Minister.
Now take your own chart …and, using your ephemeris, look up today’s
position of V. Place transiting V in your chart and look at the arc that it has
moved through since you were born. In looking at that arc, ask yourself the
question: ‘Has transiting V formed a conjunction to any of my angles
(Asc/Dsc or MC/IC) or to any of my personal planets (NMOPQ)?’ If the
answer is ‘yes’, then look in your ephemeris to see when transiting V was
forming this conjunction. Now think about that period of your life. Was
anything significant happening in that period?

The important points of the above exercises are
four-fold:
For further information see also Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark, pages
29-44. This section of the text discusses each house and gives you ideas of its
meaning, depending on whether it is the house of the natal planet (top row), the
house being transited (middle row) or the house being ruled by one of the planets
involved (bottom row).
Example 1:
Using the example of Margaret Thatcher, we can start to gain an
understanding of her V transits, firstly, by considering the meaning of VaS
and then by looking at the houses involved.
Further material can be found in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark, page 48, as
well in the audio lectures.

The transit of VaQ involves the following grid:
V aS
8 12aAsc
12
1 3 (3)
The brackets around the 3 indicate that K – the other sign ruled by S apart
from J - is intercepted in the 3rd house.
What happened?...
5
Example 2:
U bM
9 9
4 9
6
What happened?...
Does this transit describe the final withdrawal from public life that this transit
represents?
On another level, the film The Iron Lady – another expression of the virtual
reality that transiting Neptune connected with the Moon can represent –
depicts Thatcher over the course of three days struggling with grief and the
loss of her husband, Denis, until finally packing up his clothes to be sent to a
charity shop.
Other Aspects
Now do the same exercise but now follow the movement of U through your
chart.

Grading and Sorting Transits
There are four major rules for sorting transits which are given in the text. By
applying these rules to a set of transits you will have a consistent method of
finding which are the strongest transits. It is the strongest transits which will be
the ones which shape the year.
For example, if you were having transiting Q conjunct your natal M, this may
be a day where you lose your temper or are very motivated. However, since
this transit is going to happen every two and a half years, it is not going to
dramatically change your life. However, transiting T square your natal M is
only going to happen maybe twice in your life time and could therefore
symbolise major changes.
Take your own chart and, using the ephemeris, find all the transiting
conjunctions, squares and oppositions that transiting Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto form during the coming next twelve months.
LIST these down the dates on which they occur and then using the rules
given in the text, find the top four transits of the year and list them in order of
importance.
Take what you consider to be the most important transit and DRAW UP ITS
GRID. Write a paragraph delineating each house and then write a page
delineating the transit grid.
(There is further information on this in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark,
pages 73 to 97, and also in the lectures.)

Transit Graphs or Graphic Ephemeris
Time Map Workshop
PARTS 1-4 on DISC 2.
See Appendix for how to do this in Solar Fire.
One of the difficulties in working with transits is actually finding the particular
transits that are active at any one time. Computer programs can be of
assistance but to quickly sort 12 months or more of transits and see the
retrograde and direct hits, the best tool is a Graphic Ephemeris or Transit
Sheet.
GRAPH 1 ... is a 30° Graphic Ephemeris for the period 1st January – 31st
December, 1997.
… you will see SA sitting on a line. The line starts at a point on the 0 to 30
scale at about 1 and a bit. This is telling you that S was in A at 10 25' on the
1st January. Following that line through the graph. you will notice that it sweeps
downwards, going deeper into A until early August. At that point you will notice
a small dash on the line which indicates that the planet is changing direction.
Thus from the graph we can see that S turns retrograde in early August 1997
and if we read the degree scale we see that this occurs about 20 and a bit
degrees of A. From that date it continues to move retrograde through A – we
can see this by the way the line moves upwards on the graph - until mid-
December 1997 where at about 14° A it turns direct.
… you can see that R is moving through K throughout 1997 and has two
STATIONS (the term used for when a planet slows to a standstill and changes
its direction of movement). One station is in early June is at about 23° K and
the other in early October is at about 12° K.
9
Graph 1
10
You will also note that the R line crosses the S line three times throughout
1997:
Whenever any two printed lines cross on a Transit Graph, then the two
planets are forming a transiting aspect to each other. The type of aspect is
found by first considering the type of Graph - this one is a 30° graph, thus
each time these lines cross the graph it indicates that the two transiting
planets are forming a 30° aspect to each other - and then by taking into
account the signs in which the two planets are situated.
With John Howard's Ascendant at 50C31'. we can draw a line at 5½° across
the graph. This line is labelled with what natal point it is (in this case the
Ascendant) and the sign of the natal point (in this case C). His MC of
170L44' is added to the graph in the same manner. An astrologer would
normally enter the entire natal chart on the graph but for the sake of simplicity
we shall work with just Howard's angles.

Graph 2
13
In looking at the Ascendant line we can see that S,Q,R, T, and V all cross the
line in early February:
All of the above transits are interesting but none of them make very strong
connections. However…
In further looking at the graph we can see that the V transit is stationary on his
Descendant from mid-February to mid-March and then comes back to the degree
of his Descendant in late November 1997.
In now looking to his MC, we can see that both R and S are forming transits to his
L MC but both R and S are forming hs. By themselves this is not very important
but later when we cover midpoints we will come back to this example.
The Graphic Ephemeris means that you no longer need to wade through
pages of an ephemeris. You can see all the transits at a glance.
14
HINT:
1. Once you have sorted out the transiting aspects, write them on the
transit graph as shown with transiting V so that you can quickly
read the graph at a later date.
2. Use a red pen or a bright colour to draw the natal lines on the
graph. This will make it a great deal easier to read.
Graphic Ephemerides can be made for any length of time and for any modality
(number of degrees on the left hand side and therefore the types of aspects that
the graph will show). A useful Graphic Ephemeris is shown in GRAPH 3. This is
a 90° five year Graphic Ephemeris.
At first glance this graph looks like the previous example. However, you will notice
that the degree scale is not 0 to 30 but rather 0 to 90. This means that the
graph will only find aspects between planets and/or natal points which are
made up of units of 90°. There are only three such aspects: a, d and b.
As well, this graph is for a much larger time frame covering the period January
1997 - December 2001. Each planet has been plotted against time as in Graph 1
but now any intersections of the line indicates that the two planets are forming one
of the three aspects given above.
This graph is also called a 4th HARMONIC GRAPH as the modulus of 90° is
called the 4th harmonic (900 divides into 3600 exactly 4 times or 3600 divided by 4
gives 900) and it reveals the three aspects of the 4th harmonic.
Note that Graph 1 which is a 30° graph is also called a 12th HARMONIC GRAPH
as it gives the aspects that belong to the 12th harmonic. (300 divides into 3600
exactly 12 times or 3600 divided by 12 gives 300).
In looking at the graph, the diamond blocks at the 30° line and the 60° line indicate
a change of sign. For example, in the case of U, throughout 1997 U is still in J
but by early 1998 U moves into K. The movement from one sign to another is
marked by the diamond.
15
Graph 3
16
The first 30 degrees of the scale 0 to 30 belong
to all the CARDINAL signs: A, D, G, J.
For example, in graph 4, part of John Howard's natal chart has been drawn onto a
90° Graph. His Ascendant is 5°C31'. This is a mutable sign, thus it will be
entered in the 60° to 90° slot, as this 30° has been reserved for mutable points. As
you can see the Va Descendant transit is still showing but all the other transits to
his Ascendant/Descendent axis are no longer apparent, as they do not belong to
the 4th harmonic (are not made up of 90° units). His MC of 17°L44' is also
mutable, so it is also entered in the mutable area of the graph (60° to 90° zone).
The power of this graph is that once you have drawn a person's natal chart
onto the 90° graph, you can quickly see all the major transits that the person
is having for the next five years.

EXAMPLE 2 Barack Obama
When his father left for Harvard, she and Barack stayed behind, and his father
returned alone to Kenya, where he worked as a government economist. Barack's
mother remarried an Indonesian oil manager and moved to Jakarta when Barack
was six. He later recounted Indonesia as simultaneously lush and a harrowing
exposure to tropical poverty. He returned to Hawaii, where he was brought up
largely by his grandparents. The family lived in a small apartment - his
grandfather was a furniture salesman and an unsuccessful insurance agent and
his grandmother worked in a bank - but Barack managed to get into Punahou
School, Hawaii's top prep academy. His father wrote to him regularly but, though
he travelled around the world on official business for Kenya, he visited only once,
when Barack was ten.
Obama attended Columbia University, but found New York's racial tension
inescapable. He became a community organizer for a small Chicago church-
based group for three years, helping poor South Side residents cope with a wave
of plant closings. He then attended Harvard Law School, and in 1990 became the
first African-American editor of the Harvard Law Review. He turned down a
prestigious judicial clerkship, choosing instead to practice civil-rights law back in
Chicago, representing victims of housing and employment discrimination and
working on voting-rights legislation. He also began teaching at the University of
Chicago Law School, and married Michelle Robinson, a fellow attorney.
Eventually he was elected to the Illinois state senate, where his district included
both Hyde Park and some of the poorest ghettos on the South Side.
19
His biography states:
‘On February 10, 2007, Obama announced his candidacy for President of the
United States in front of the Old State Capitol building in Springfield, Illinois.
On November 4, 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain in the general
election with 365 electoral votes to McCain's 173 and became the first African
American to be elected President of the United States.’
Recognizing this is a huge year for Obama, how would you delineate the
astrology of the grids and how it might have related to the year in which
Barack Obama stood for President of the United States of America?

The Transits of
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
Lectures 1,2 and 3 on DISC 1
The transits of these four outer planets are the major transits with which the
astrologer works and although the transits of R can be illuminating, enlightening
and inspiring, the reality is that for most people, it is the above four planets which
cause the most positive or negative stress when involved in a transit.
There is further material contained in Chapter 1 ‘The Alphabet’ of Predictive Astrology: The Eagle
and the Lark. Pages 1-16 deal with the planets giving or receiving transits.
Each planet or luminary has figures with which it can be linked. Thus if
you are having a S transit, then a person or group who has authority over
you may be putting pressure on you. This is called ‘projection’. Projection is
where we use another individual to take a role or play a part in our own
internal drama. This occurs within a natal chart but can also occur when the
person is receiving a transit. The purpose of projection is to help us
understand the issues via seeing them being played out around us.
For example, by dealing with the authority figures that transiting S can bring
into our lives, then we are learning more about our own S, we are learning
more about dealing with authority and issues of responsibility. However, by
simply blaming authority figures for your problems and considering yourself
to be the totally innocent party, then you are projecting without any
consciousness and you therefore fail to learn or grow from the experience.
Projection of transits is very common. The astrologer’s role is not only to see these
future potential projections but to also help the client own and accept responsibility
for the events around them.
30
The Axes of the Angles and the Axes of the
Nodes
Further material on the different axes in a natal chart can be found in Predictive Astrology:
The Eagle and the Lark, pages 17-19, as well in the audio lectures.
The same concept applies to the MC/IC axis as well as the Nodal axis. If the IC is
receiving a transiting conjunction, then the effects will be felt in the home and
family environment. The impact on the MC - one’s social standing and place in
society - would be a secondary result, not a primary cause. Similarly a transit to
the South Node emphasises health, old issues from the past, family patterns,
genetics, and so on which is quite different to the North Node which would be
describing associations and groups.
31
THE ASPECTS
Further material on the meaning of the aspects in predictive work can be found in Predictive
Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark, pages 22-29, as well in the audio lectures.
32
Putting It Together
So far we have been concentrating on one transit at a time. Later in the
course we will consider TIME MAPS, a method by which all the predictive
events can be viewed at once, thus enabling the astrologer to synthesise the
different predictive influences happening to a client at any one time. However,
at this stage a simple Time Map can be constructed.
Take a piece of paper and across the long edge write the name of the months
of the year. Once you have found the transit that you are examining, draw up
its grid and enter it underneath the month in which is will be exact. For other
months where the transit is also exact, write just the transit itself .
1997
JAN FEB MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPT OCT NOV DEC
VT a Desc VT a Desc VT Desc
2
6
This is a simple Time Map. The advantage of this system becomes apparent
when you are working with more than one transit.
33
Adding this to the above Time Map we get the following:
1997
JAN FEB MARCH APRIL MAY JUNE JULY AUGUST SEPT OCT NOV DEC
VT a Desc VT a Desc VT Desc
2 UT aQ UT aQ

UT aQ
4 8
10 11
Provided his birth time is correct, the difficulties will start in February-March.1 By
late March through to June he is going to feel ineffective and the difficulties do
not clear up until December. This is not really delineating these transits but rather
is a simple example of how large transits will combine with other large transits to
form an overall picture of the year and the combination and the timing and order
of these transits is important.
These are two strong transits and they will not act as two isolated events but
rather combine to talk about one very difficult event. Since the V transit is before
the U transit, here is a crisis in his committed relationships (VT a Desc) and it is
only after this that Howard feels unable to take effective action (UT aQ ). If the
U transit was first, followed by the V transit, then it is through inaction that a
crisis occurs: quite a different meaning to the year.
1
Any transit to the Angles is dependant for its timing of the accuracy of the birth time. If
Howard was born 5 minutes later, then this transit would not occur until 1998.
34
Cycles and Transiting Cycles
Lecture 5 on DISC 2
These eight stages, however, have a far larger implication than just the
lunar phase under which you were born. They are a universal mechanism
or pathway which all living things, and all things that support life, follow. And
because cycles are the core of all life, they are also the pathway by which we learn
things or by which we grow in understanding.
First stage:
NEW MOON (00 - 450 ahead of the N)
Beginnings
You hear someone reading you a story and you wish that you could do
it. The beginning of the journey.
Second stage:
CRESCENT MOON (450 - 900 ahead of the N)
Assertive emerging
You are given books with pictures and someone points to large letters
and coaches you to link sounds to symbols. You are keen, you
concentrate and put in a great deal of effort.
Third stage:
FIRST QUARTER (900 - 1350 ahead of the N)
Immature action
You can read your first primer slowly but without help. You can read as
long as there are no unexpected words.
Fourth stage:
GIBBOUS (1350 - 1800 ahead of the N)
Adjustment
You feel more confident and are starting to tackle larger words. You learn
that some sounds can be spelt in different ways to mean different things.
You are learning the subtleties of the language.
35
Fifth stage:
FULL MOON (1800 - 1350 behind the N)
Achievement
You can read. You are proud that you can read and you are aware of
‘reading’. You consciously ‘read’ signs, and so on.
Sixth stage:
DISSEMINATING MOON (1350 - 900 behind the N)
Transform and Change
You discover books. Now the focus shifts from ‘reading’ to using
reading to explore the world of books.
Seventh stage:
THIRD QUARTER MOON (900 - 450 behind the N)
Mature action and productivity.
You read a book that impresses you. You forget about ‘reading’ for
now you are actually using the skill in the way it was intended, to
broaden your mind.
Eighth stage:
BALSAMIC MOON (450 - 00 behind the N)
Endings or completion.
You forget about consciously reading. You forget about how you learnt
to read. Reading has now become a part of who you are, one of your
skills which you can use as you desire. It is now impossible for you
NOT to read a sign when you see it.
The eight stages of a cycle are traditionally named after the lunation cycle but
such a cycle does not have to involve the N or the M. As planets transit through
your chart, they will form aspects back to their natal positions. When working with
the outer planets of S,T,U and V, these cyclic transiting aspects become
extremely important and are considered to be markers of large developmental
changes in your life.
Material on pages 19-21 in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark
shows you a list of these key cyclic transits. You will need to make a note of
the ages at which these cyclic transits tend to occur. For example, if you had a
client coming to see you and they were in their late 20s, then you need to be
aware that the client’s Saturn Return has just occurred or was about to occur
and that would make a major difference to how you would delineate the
client’s predictive work.
36
Exercise for you to do to help you understand this technique
List down the dates of your R returns, S cycle aspects and, if you have
had them, your TbT, UdU and VdV transits.
In looking at this list, ask yourself about any events that may have been
occurring during these cyclic transits. Did you change as a result?
37
Understanding Outer Planets via Cycles
When a new planet is discovered, it symbolise to astrologers that the human
collective is becoming conscious or aware of an insight or philosophy. At the
discovery of the planet, the potential for the insight is there but that is all.
However, as the planet moves in its orbit and makes aspects to its zodiacal
position at discovery, then the concepts symbolised by the planet are revealed
to the human collective. The full nature of the planet is not fully understood until
it has completed at least one full cycle and returned to the position it occupied
at the time of its discovery.
For example…
U was discovered in 1846 at about 240 K and completed its ‘Return’ in 2011.
U describes oneness and, simply put, at a political level this implies that all
humans should have equal rights. When the U was discovered, the wars
against slavery were just about to begin. That was its ‘New Moon’ phase.
People were beginning to think that maybe it was not correct to ‘own’ another
human being. Those wars were won and slavery was abolished but that did
not mean that minority groups had equal rights.
1890’s: (First or Waxing Square or First Quarter phase ). U forms its first
square to itself since its discovery. Suffragette movements.
38
1970’s: (Third or Waning Square or Third Quarter phase). Equal
opportunities for women. Major women’s movements. Anti-war groups.
2011 (Next New Moon). The beginning of a new cycle of Human rights issues
and environmental issues.
U has only just completed its first cycle, so the meaning of U now has a
greater clarity with regard to human rights. However, U is much closer to
completing its first cycle than V which has a period of 248 years. It was
discovered in 1929 in the middle degrees of D. We will not experience its
opposition or ‘Full Moon phase’ until 2050 and we, as a race, will not truly
understand V until after 2175 when it completes its first orbit since its
discovery.
39
Synodic Cycles
Lecture 5 on DISC 2
Synodic Cycles are the cycles formed between two moving bodies.
If you consider two runners on an oval who are running at different speeds, then
eventually the faster runner will lap the slower runner. If it takes the faster
runner 10 minutes to lap the slower runner, then the Synodic Cycle between the
two runners is 10 minutes.
The most common Synodic Cycle that we work with in astrology is that of the N
and M. We call this the Lunar Phases and the M takes 29.5 days to lap the
slower-moving N. However, all the planets move at different speeds around the
same ‘oval’ called the ecliptic, thus all planets will have synodic cycles with all
other planets. Some of these synodic cycles are quite important.
In Appendix 4 page 301 in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark, you
will find a list of the synodic cycles of the outer planets giving their periods, as
well as their dates and places of occurrence in this century.
Each time a large planetary pair come together, as is the case with the TaU in
1993, astrologers believe that a new concept or awareness is going to come
into the human collective. However, this new awareness will reveal itself
through the concept of cycles. TaU occurs every 171 years. The last
conjunction before 1993 was in 1820s and it was in that time that Clara Barton,
the founder of the Red Cross was born, as was as Florence Nightingale, a
celebrated English nurse, writer and statistician who came to prominence for
her pioneering work in nursing during the Crimean War. Here we can see the
expression of the reform (Uranus) of medicine or drugs (Neptune). This did not
happen at once in the 1820s but slowly emerged as the two slow-moving
transiting planets formed different aspects to each other. Eventually they came
together again in 1993. Whilst it is clear that this heralded the digital revolution,
the reform and availability to all (Uranus) of virtual reality (Neptune), astrologers
are aware that there were some important people born in the early 1990s and
that we will have to wait until well into the middle of the next century to really
start to understand the meaning of this conjunction.
40
You were born as a member of a generation. In astrology we define a human
generation:
2. by the SYNODIC CYCLE and the aspects between these planets – for
example the SV generation which includes children born with SaV,
SdV (waxing square), SbV and SdV a (waning square).
You are a freeze frame of the many constantly unfolding different synodic
cycles. You, as part of your generation, have a role to play in bringing to
awareness your generation’s message. This is expressed in astrology by the
different stages of synodic cycles that have been captured in your chart. Your
generation will do this via the fashions that it follows, the music that it likes,
the activities that it seeks and, most importantly, the changes that it demands.
41
Mid-Life Cycles:
‘The Mid-Life Crisis’ or ‘The Mid-Life Blooming’
Lecture 6 on DISC 2
These years are known collectively as the mid-life crisis or the mid-life
‘blooming’ and they are the trademark of the generation who were born in the
late 1940s and 1950s who received the VdV much earlier than their
parents, due to V’s erratic movement through the zodiac. Indeed it is the
Baby-Boomer Generation who has named this particular series of years and
the changes they invoke ‘the Mid-Life Crisis’. Before this, such a phenomenon
was not known or acknowledged.
These years are as big a change mentally as puberty is physically and they
have just as big an impact as the Saturn Return. To shy away from them, to
pull back and fear these mid-life changes is to pull away from life. For whilst
the years of puberty can be difficult, no functioning adult would not want to
have gone down that pathway.
The following great planetary cycles can occur in any order and sometimes
two cycles can occur within the one year.
42
VdV - A CRISIS OF MORTALITY
For people born between 1900-1940 with VC and VD, the VdV occurred
when they were in their 60s, anywhere from 1958-1984. For the VE generation -
the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation born 1940-1958 - the VdV occurred when it went
into H in 1984-1995 and for that generation it occurred anywhere between the
ages of 37-42 years old. The generation born with VF also experienced the
square around the ages of 37-42 years old.
Technically this occurred due to the erratic orbit of V which moves faster through
some signs than it does through others. Yet any astrological phenomenon is
simply reflective of the Collective Unconscious. Where our parents were ready
emotionally and mentally to retire in their 60s and wind their life down, the ‘Baby
Boomer’ generation is still reaching for their prime of life, still working at a career
and still finding their place in life. The ‘Baby Boomer’ generation has been asked to
deal with VdV much earlier in life.
V is always concerned with the more primal and visceral layers of a person that
haven’t yet been encountered. Illogical and hidden, V forces change on the
chthonic parts of ourselves. VdV brings tension which forces a person to take
action. This action is internal (due the nature of the transit: a planet making an
aspect back to itself) and wants us to deepen, broaden and irrevocably change our
emotional spectrum. It wants us to work out what issues we need to get
emotionally worked up about, recalibrate them and put them into perspective. It is
a time of re-evaluation of our emotional expression.
As it occurs, we notice external changes in the physical body – fine lines and the
greying of hair - and begin to realise for the first time:
43
This realisation can come through an external
event, such someone close to us dying, or getting ill
ourselves. A public example is Olivia Newton-John
when she found out that she had breast cancer at
the age of 44, the same weekend that her father
died from cancer.
44
Other people will not want to accept this realisation and will prefer to stay as the
puer/puella. They may express this by taking a young mistress or a Toy Boy,
buying sports car or blowing all their money in a casino. Some will have face-lifts,
such as Paul Hogan and Elizabeth Taylor as a way of staying the hand of time.
NOTE: Due to the length of time to complete one cycle, VbV occurs at roughly age
130 years, hence VdV is the only hard aspect we will receive from V to itself in our
lifetime.
45
Excellent films to watch which encompass the VdV are:
The TbT is, as its name suggests, an ‘opposition’, so we ‘see it’ clearly.
Now, at age 42, we see clearly the goals we have set up in our early twenties,
the goals we have strived for and reached towards and which we now
question: ‘OK – I’ve got there. And now what? how do I redefine myself? What
do I reach for now? What are the terms of my self-differentiation?’
The answer comes with the recognition that rather than this being the goal for
which one has strived, it is merely one step on a flight of steps and hence we
have to look for the next step.
With this transit we encounter the new and the unexpected in order to expand
the boundaries of our world in order to gain freedom and independence from
the shackles of the past. TbT brings new internal areas to explore which
reveal the hidden through the sudden and the unexpected and asks us to go
down that path. This transit is about taking risks and being brave. It is about
stepping off into unknown territory because one sees clearly who one wants to
be and how this gives one uniqueness and emancipation. As VdV was totally
emotional, so TbT is entirely unemotional. The clarity is an internal
expression but it may express itself externally as stepping into new areas of life
that have previously been hidden. The bottom line is clarity of vision: ‘For the
first time I clearly see who I am as an individual.’ TdT waning square occurs
around age 63 and TaT occurs at age 84.
46
Excellent films to watch which encompass the Uranus opposition Uranus
are:
This transit will bring with it all manner of opportunities which force or corrupt
one’s sense of integrity and can lead to deep despair.
For some it may express itself as being caught up in drug dealing, alcohol
abuse or a fraud scandal, felt as internal loss or confusion and the erosion of
boundaries, with the year summed up as: ‘I've never been so deceived by
people.’
Ultimately this transit shows one the quality of one's soul and if one can have
faith and integrity, it becomes a deeply enlightening time.
47
Excellent films to watch which encompass the Neptune square Neptune are:
POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE” (USA, 1990) Meryl Streep, Shirley MacLaine.

Ageing can be fluid and graceful and funny even thought it hurts since death
is the door prize. In indigenous cultures, shamans don’t reach their potential
until their fifties. It is expected that they will grow into their power, not out of it.
Gabrielle Roth
We came into this life to give certain gifts and if we don’t give them
no-one else ever will. We are so unique, so individual, it would be a precious
gift lost to the world if we don’t share ourselves fully. The gifts we contribute
from that kind of warrior stance will be much more profound than the gifts we
give by living as society prescribed.

Important points:
House System
When working with progressed planets moving through the houses, the
house system you use will change the times that the N, or any other
progressed planet is going to change houses. Thus before an astrologer
will give a prediction about the timing and effect of such an event, they
need to be confident of the house system they are using. Generally it is
far better to assume that, for example, the N is going to change houses
over a period of four or five years. This allows an orb of 40-50 for a house
cusp which will cover most variations.
Birth Time
If there is any error with the birth time, then the progressions of the N to a
house cusp could be many years out, as 4’ error in the birth time correlates
with approximately 10 of movement and 10 of movement = one year of time
for the progressed N. Link that to the question of which house system
should be used and this makes using the precise timing of the progressed
N to/over a house cusp a risky predictive tool. This problem also applies to
the progressed N making an exact aspect to an angle. Any error in birth
time can shift the predicted event considerably and the astrologer could be
years out in their prediction. For these reasons, when working with
progressions of any planet to the angles, the astrologer must be extremely
confident that the birth time is correct.

Elizabeth II, Queen of England
When she was 6 years old, her parents took over Royal Lodge in Windsor Great
Park as their own country home. Princess Elizabeth was educated at home with
Princess Margaret, her younger sister. After her father succeeded to the throne in
1936 and she became heir presumptive, she started to study constitutional history
and law. She also studied art and music, learned to ride (she has been a keen
horsewoman since early childhood) and enjoyed amateur theatricals and
swimming. She enrolled as a Girl Guide when she was 11 and later became a
Sea Ranger. At 13, she won the Children's Challenge Shield at London's Bath
Club.
The Princess broadcast a message for the first time at 14 years of age in October
1940 during the BBC's children's programme to those children who were being
evacuated for safety reasons. In early 1942 she was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of
the Grenadier Guard. On her 16th birthday she carried out her first public
engagement when she inspected the regiment. In April 1943, Princess Elizabeth
carried out her first solo public engagement when she spent a day with a Grenadier
Guards tank battalion in Southern Command. Shortly after her 18th birthday in
1944, Princess Elizabeth was appointed a Counsellor of State during the King's
absence on a tour of the Italian battlefields and, for the first time, carried out some
of the duties of Head of State. By the end of the war she had reached the rank of
Junior Commander, having completed her course at No. 1 Mechanical training
Centre of ATS and passed out as a fully qualified driver.
Her first official overseas visit took place in 1947 to South Africa. Shortly after the
Royal family’s return, the Princess was engaged to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten.
The couple, who had known each other for many years, were married in
Westminster Abbey on 20 November 1947. His Royal Highness The Prince Philip,
Duke of Edinburgh, was the son of Prince Andrew of Greece and a great-great-
grandson of Queen Victoria. In 1952, King George VI's illness forced him to
abandon his proposed visit to Australia and New Zealand. The Princess,
accompanied by Prince Philip, took his place.
54
On 6 February, 1952, during the first stage of this journey, in
Kenya, she received the news of her father's death. Her
Majesty's coronation took place in Westminster Abbey on 2
June 1953. The ceremony was broadcast on radio around
the world and, at The Queen's request, on television. It was
television, then in its relative infancy that brought home the
splendour and the deep significance of the coronation to
many hundreds of thousands of people in a way never before
possible. Prince Andrew and Prince Edward were the first
children to be born to a reigning monarch since Queen Victoria had her family.
Elizabeth's reign has been marked by vast changes in the lives of her people and
in the power and prestige of her nation. Beginning in the mid-1950s, there was
constant turmoil in Northern Ireland. On the home front, the nation suffered
economic difficulties after World War II. Many industries were nationalised, and in
1973 Great Britain became a member of the European Economic Community.
Coalmines continued to close in the 1970s and 1980s - with the issue coming to a
head with the Miners’ Strike of 1984 - and by the end of the 1980s, there were
only six collieries left in the land between Tyne and Tees. Arguments and strikes
between bosses and workers were allayed for a time with the Queen’s Silver
Jubilee in 1977 when Elizabeth celebrated 25 years on the throne. By the early
1980s, some 40 former British colonies, protectorates and mandate territories had
been granted their independence. Elizabeth's primary role was as a symbol of
unity and continuity within the Commonwealth of Nations.
The 40th anniversary of The Queen's Accession in 1992 was marked by a number
of events and community projects in the UK. On Accession Day itself, 6 February,
the BBC broadcast Elizabeth R, a television documentary on The Queen's
working life. This was subsequently shown in over 25 countries around the world.
Also in 1992 the Queen and Prince Charles agreed to pay income taxes on their
personal income, the first time the monarchy has done so. The same year, part of
Windsor Castle was seriously damaged by fire. In 1993 Buckingham Palace was
opened to tourists to help pay for the repairs. As Head of State, The Queen
maintains close contact with the Prime Minister, with whom she has a weekly
audience when she is in London.
55
In 2002, Elizabeth marked her Golden Jubilee as queen. Her sister and mother
died in February and March, respectively, and the media speculated as to whether
the Jubilee would be a success or a failure. She again undertook an extensive
tour of her realms, which began in Jamaica in February, where she called the
farewell banquet "memorable" after a power cut plunged the King's House, the
official residence of the Governor-General, into darkness. As in 1977, there were
street parties and commemorative events, and monuments were named to honour
the occasion. A million people attended each day of the three-day main Jubilee
celebration in London, and the enthusiasm shown by the public for Elizabeth was
greater than many journalists had predicted.
On 20 November 1997 The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh celebrated their
Golden Wedding. Her reign of 59 years is the second-longest for a British monarch;
only Queen Victoria has reigned longer. Her Silver Jubilee was celebrated in 1977,
her Golden Jubilees in 1977 and her Diamond Jubilee in 2012.
Queen Elizabeth addressed the United Nations for a second time in 2010, again in
her capacity as queen of all her realms and Head of the Commonwealth. UN
Secretary General Ban Ki-moon introduced her as ‘an anchor for our age’. During
her visit to New York, which followed a tour of Canada, she officially opened a
memorial garden for the British victims of the 11 September attacks. The Queen's
visit to Australia in October 2011, her 16th
visit since 1954, was called her ‘farewell
tour’ in the press because of her age.

EXAMPLE ANSWERS
PROGRESSED SUN
In 1952 the Queen’s NP entered the 4th House. Not only did this progression
allow her to focus on her family and home (4th House) but ‘on 6 February,
1952, during the first stage of this journey, in Kenya, she received the news of
her father's death. Her Majesty's coronation took place in Westminster Abbey
on 2 June 1953.’ She connected with the tap root of her ancestry (the IC) and
her ‘home’ literally became England itself.
In 1957, when she was 30 years old, the Queen’s NP entered C. This
progression would have seen her focussing more on communication and
ideas using television, then in its relative infancy, to make a closer connection
with the people. ‘Television… brought home the splendour and the deep
significance of the coronation to many hundreds of thousands of people in a
way never before possible.’
In 1971 her NP entered the 5th House. The 1970s and 1980s were turbulent
years with coalmines closing and Great Britain becoming a member of the
European Economic Community. Former British colonies, protectorates and
mandate territories were granted their independence and Elizabeth’s NP in
the 5th house saw the role of her personal creativity changing with regard to
her position.
It also affected her personally through her children (5th house): the Queen's
second son Prince Andrew flew a helicopter in the Falklands war and came
back safely, and two of her son married in this time – Charles to Diana,
Princess of Wales to her son Charles in 1981 and Andrew to Sarah Ferguson
in 1986.
57
Queen Elizabeth’s NP entered D in 1988 and in 1989 entered the 6th House.
This was a time when she was working hard (6th House) in a nurturing,
supportive role (D) to hold the reputation of the Royal Family together and
their role in the service of the community (6th house): Prince Charles and
Prince Andrew both separated from their wives in 1992, damaging the
reputation of the royal family. In this year the Queen and Prince Charles
agreed to pay income taxes on their personal income, the first time the
monarchy has done so. The same year, part of Windsor Castle was seriously
damaged by fire and in 1993 Buckingham Palace was opened to tourists to
help pay for the repairs.
Note: the best way to approach this is to lay out the timing on a Time Map:
In April 1991 the Queen’s PP entered her 4th House. This progression points
to a focus on networking, socialising and relating patterns now focused
around the house and home.
58
At this time there was much turmoil within the monarchy at the possible splits
between Charles and Diana and Andrew and Sarah and these relationships
came increasingly into focus during this time.
In December 1991 the Queen’s MP entered the 12th house and in February
the Secondary Progressed Lunar Phase became Full. The Full Moon phase is
the time when the fruits of one’s labours, set in motion some fifteen years
earlier, become apparent. Charles investiture as the Prince of Wales took
place on 1st July, 1969, after which he took up university studies at
Cambridge, where he first met Camilla Parker-Bowles (then Camilla Shand).
Unable to marry her then, now in this time period the Queen sees the fruits of
what was possibly an unwise decision with the breakdown of Charles’
‘arranged’ marriage to Diana. With the MP in the 12th house at this time,
rather than expressing itself as seclusion, Queen Elizabeth and her family are
under close scrutiny through the press and media and as a symbol for the
people, the Queen has to use her MP in J as the stabilising, authoritative
voice in this matter.

Secondary Progressed Moon and the
Progressed Lunar Phase
Lecture 8 on DISC 3
You can find further material in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark,
Chapter 3: pages 113-144.
George Lucas was born on 14th May, 1944. If you look at the ephemeris2 for that
date, you will see what has been reproduced below:
At the bottom of the page there is a table labelled ‘Moon Phases & Eclipses’. This
table will tell you the dates of the lunar phases for the two months that are covered
on that page of the ephemeris.
There was a Full Moon at 170H34’ on the 8th May 1944 at a GMT
time of 7 hours and 28 minutes.
There was a New Moon at 10C01’ on the 22nd May 1944 at 6 hours
and 12 minutes.
There was a Full Moon at 150 I 54’ on the 6th June 1944 at GMT
18 hours and 58 minutes.
There was a New Moon on the 20th June 1944 at the time and zodiac
place given.
The table also lists the 1st Quarter and 3rd Quarter Moons. The Moon symbol
with the horns of the Moon pointing left is a 1st Quarter Moon and the symbol with
the horns of the Moon pointing right is a 3rd Quarter. You do not need to memorise
this as the 1st Quarter is between the New Moon and Full Moon and the 3rd
Quarter is between the Full Moon and the New Moon. This table can therefore be
used to find the timing of the secondary progressed Lunar phases for George
Lucas.

The Directors Guild of America (DGA) is an entertainment labor union which
represents the interests of film and television directors in the United States
motion picture industry. Founded as the Screen Directors Guild in 1936, the
group became the DGA in 1960. Not all Hollywood directors are DGA
members. In 1977-1981 George Lucas resigned from the Motion Picture
Academy over specific differences and was banned from writing or directing
movies. Those who are not members of the guild are unable to direct for the
larger movie studios, which are signatories to the guild's agreements that all
directors must be guild members
His next project was the adventure-fantasy film Willow. Based on an original
story by Lucas, the film was directed by Ron Howard and executive-produced
by Lucas. Willow was released in 1988. Also in 1988, Lucas executive-
produced Tucker: the Man and His Dream, directed by Francis Coppola. The
following year, Lucas served as executive producer for Indiana Jones and the
Last Crusade.
64
In 1992, after numerous awards, George Lucas was honoured with the Irving
G. Thalberg Award by the Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences. In 1999, Lucasfilm produced the latest instalment
in the Star Wars saga,The Phantom Menace. The next instalment of the
series Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones was released in 2002.
In 1994, Lucas began work on the screenplay for the prequel Star Wars
Episode I: The Phantom Menace, the first film he had directed in over two
decades. Released in 1999, it was the beginning a new trilogy of Star Wars
films. Lucas also directed Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and Star
Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith which were released in 2002 and 2005,
respectively. In 2008, he reteamed with Spielberg for Indiana Jones and the
Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.

The New Moon on 22nd May.
This is the first Lunar Phase which occurs after his birth on the 14th May. This
New Moon occurs 8 days after his birth, therefore he is 8 years old with the
Progressed New Moon at 10C01’ falling in his 1st House.
Even though it is not listed in the ephemeris, you can work out the zodiacal
placement is out as follows:
Step 1.
Find the arc of movement between the Progressed New Moon at
10C01’ and the Progressed 1st Quarter Moon at 80F27’ by subtracting
one zodiacal placement from the other:
80F27’
- 10C01’
= 970 26’
Step 2.
Divide this figure in half:
Step 3.
Add this figure to the zodiacal placement of the Progressed New Moon
at 10C01’:
10C01’
+ 480 56’
190 D 57’
66
The 1st Quarter Moon on 30th May
This 1st Quarter occurred 16 days after his birth therefore he is 16 years old
with the Progressed 1st Quarter Moon at 80F27’ falling in his 5th house.
Even though it is not listed in the ephemeris, you can work out the zodiacal
placement as we did for the Progressed Crescent phase.
67
Connecting the Progressed Lunation Phase to a
person’s biography.
If we link this rhythm of the Lunar Phasing to George Lucas’ biography, then we
see the following:
At the end of his Full Moon phase and the beginning of his Disseminating
phase he got his break in the film industry at the age of 26 years when he was
asked to make American Graffiti.
In his 3rd Quarter phase when he was 30-33 years old he made Star Wars
which some consider is his finest work.
The Balsamic Moon began when he was 33 years old coincided with Lucas’
exhaustion following the making of Star Wars, as well as his resignation from
the Motion Picture Academy 1977-1981 when he was was banned from
writing or directing movies
His New Moon Phase at the age of 36 years old in 1981 saw him becoming a
producer.
And so on.
Clearly we can see the ebb and flow of energy as the seasons of the Lunar
Phases unfold through his life.

Secondary Progressions –
Calculations
NOTE: You may want to miss this section if you don’t want to learn how to
calculate Secondary Progressions by hand.
You can find further material in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark, Appendix 1:
pages 285-294 and in the audio lectures. If you choose to engage with learning how to
calculate this by hand then read pages 285- 292 to understand the concept of an ACD date.
This is most important and you should avoid moving forward into the calculation of
progressions until you understand not only the method of finding the ACD but also the logic
as to why it is needed.
Up to this stage you have been working directly from the ephemeris but as
you would notice, the planets move during the course of the day, thus the
progressed planets will move throughout the year.
Points to Remember
70
Extremely Important Point:
For example…
If you are born at a GMT of 10.50 am on the 1st March 1960,
your ACD date will be the 18th September.
The first GMT midnight after your birth will therefore be midnight of the 2nd
March 1960.
That date therefore represents the first ACD for which you are alive.
Thus …
2nd March 1960 midnight (00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds) = 18th September 1960
and therefore:
3rd March 1960 midnight (00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds) = 18th September 1961
and therefore:
4th March 1960 midnight (00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds) = 18th September 1962
5th March 1960 midnight (00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds) = 18th September 1963
6th March 1960 midnight (00 hours 00 minutes 00 seconds) = 18th September 1964
Each day forward in the ephemeris moves to the ACD in the NEXT year.
71
Working with the ACD
[Use the form on the next page in conjunction with the following steps.]
Before you can work with any progressed planets, you need to know
what dates to work with in the ephemeris.
Our client is born on the 1st March 1960 at a GMT of 10.50 am.
Their ACD is the 18th September.
You wish to examine their progressions for the year 1998.
72

Step One. The first question on the form is ‘For which year are you calculating
the Progression?’ Write ‘1998’ in this slot.
Step Two. Subtract from this the year of birth: 1998 - 1960 = 38
Call the answer ‘days’. Thus your client will be 38 years old in that year, so we
are working with 38 days after the client’s birth.
Step Three. Convert the GMT birthday calendar date to the days of the year
using the table on page 293.
Step Five. Convert these days back to a calendar date. The easiest way is to
use the table on page 293 in Predictive Astrology:
This is because in our above example when the client was experiencing their
very first ACD – 18th September in this example - it was STILL the year of
their birth - 1960. The year had not turned over. Thus when we are counting
forward through the ephemeris to find 1998, we have to take this into account
by adding one more day to our final SPD.
Thus the 8th April 1960 will REALLY be his or her progressed planets for the
18th September 1997.
74
Using the SPD to find the exact Progressed
Planetary Calculations
Having found the correct SPD for a given date and year in the person’s life,
we can now calculate the planets. Look in the ephemeris for the SPD (9th
April 1960) and you will notice the following:
18th September 1997 (8th April 1960) the NP is 180 09’ 58” A … and for
18th September 1998 (9th April 1960) the NP is 190 08’ 53” A … and for
18th September 1999 (10th April 1960) the NP is 200 07’ 47” A
By finding the daily movement of the N from one day to the next,3 the
astrologer can then find the average monthly movement of the NP and
therefore the NP position for any given month.
For the Moon, such a monthly table becomes essential, as the MP will move
about 120 per year.
18th September 1997 (8th April 1960) the MP is 290 59’ 04” E
… and for
18th September 1998 (9th April 1960) the MP is 120 56’ 23” F
… and for
18th September 1999 (10th April 1960) the MP is 260 16’ 17” F
Thus from 18th September 1997 to the 18th September 1998 the MP has
moved from:
290 59’ 04” E to 120 56’ 23” F - a total movement of 120 57’ 19”
Having found this total annual movement, it can be divided by 12 to give the
monthly movement.
3
This is the same method employed when calculating natal planets.
75
76
The MP therefore moves 10 5’ per month during this period4 and the following
table can be constructed:
Important Points:
1. You can round off the seconds because you will only ever be a few
minutes out in your final figure in the table and you will notice that the fact
that months vary in the number of days they contain is not taken into
account.
4
From one year to the next, the monthly movement of the Moon can vary considerably so
you should re calculate it for every year with which you are working.

Time Maps
Putting It All Together
Lecture 10 on DISC 3
You can find further material in Predictive Astrology: The Eagle and the Lark, Time Maps,
pages 165 to 205and in the audio lectures.
Time Maps were devised by Bernadette Brady and are an easy way for seeing
all of the components of a client's predictive work in chronological order
presented on the one page.
Work with your own chart and select a year from your life that was particularly
interesting for you.
NOTE: Students are always tempted to draw up their Time Map for the current
year but it is best if you get the feel for Time Maps by working with a year in
retrospect.
a) The transits which you consider to be the most important for that period;
Take your time and do it as neatly as you can, as this will aid you in your
ability to read the Map.
83
Hints
Use colour on your Time Map. We suggest you use the following:
Place the lunar progressions at the top of the Map and underneath
them enter in the transits you have selected as the most important for
the year.
Enter the long lines of the progressions of the planets at the bottom of
the page using an arrow point to indicate when they will be exact,
recognising that after exactness the effect tails off rapidly. This way
they will form natural finishing lines at the bottom of the Map.
84
Look very carefully at the order of the Map. The sequences of transits and
progressions have just as much meaning as the transits and progressions
themselves. If there is a period of semi-squares which are followed by a
period of squares, then the frustration rapidly resolves into action. However, if
there is a period of squares followed by a period of semi-squares, then a
period of action ends in a period of frustration and delays.
Now make some notes on the timing of the events of that year and see how
the Time Map is describing those events.
This is a extremely important exercise, for this will help you understand how
the Time Map - transits and progressions - actually communicates information
to you. Pretend that you are the Cosmos and you wish to describe a particular
year to an astrologer using the alphabet of astrology. Try writing such a Time
Map bearing in mind the restrictions of the orbital periods of planets (for
example, you cannot have transiting V T aN 10th house and then in the
same year, V T bM 12th house.) Such an exercise will quickly sharpen you to
the subtleties of the messages of transits and progressions.

Open the chart on which you are going to calculate a return and then select the Return button
on the screen or in the main menu select
Chart/Return & Ingress. The following screen will appear.
Planetary returns can be created by selecting Advance & Ingress… in the Chart type
to Generate window in the above screen. And then clicking on the OK button, which
changes to say Options…. The following screen is then displayed.

button, click the Edit Page button. Once in this screen select “printer” in the Page
Sixes box (top right hand corner). Then with your mouse select the “midpoint tree”
object on the page (grey page). Then in the area that is a list on the right hand side
you will notice “Max Orb 2.00” at the bottom of the list. Select this and in the box just
below the words “midpoint tree (1)” change the 2 to a 1. Once you have done this,
then select the Screen views (under pages sizes) and also change the orbs here.
Save you changes under the “File menu” top left hand corner.

Astro Logos – Diploma Predictive Module 5
When creating planetary returns you must ask yourself a few questions. For example, let us say
that you wish to create a Jupiter Return chart:
1. For the Jupiter return chart do you wish to create your last Jupiter return chart? If so
then select current. Your next Jupiter return chart? If so then select Next.
2. What Jupiter return chart do you wish to create? If you wish to create a Jupiter return
chart for a return let us say for when you were 14 years old. Then you will need to enter
a date – in the Date window for when you were 14 years old (any date in that year will
do) and then select current. Then SF will find the Jupiter return that last happen before
the date you have entered. If you wish to find a Jupiter return for when you are in your
90’s then you need to enter such a date in the Date window and select current or next
depending if you want SF to search back from that date or forward.
3. What is the natal condition of your Jupiter? You may need to check this in the
ephemeris. If your Jupiter is retrograde then when asked by SF later you will select the
retrograde return. If your natal Jupiter is direct you need to ascertain if it is Direct and
has been for some time and is yet to enter into a retrograde loop OR if it is Direct but
just coming out of a retrograde loop. For the first situation then select the first returned
offer, for the latter situation then selected the second Direct return offered by SF in a
later screen. If, of course transiting Jupiter is not going to do a retrograde loop over
your natal Jupiter as it makes its return you will not be offered this choice.

Astro Logos – Diploma Predictive Module 6
Having made these decisions then select Advance & Ingress and click on the Options button.
Select the planet for which you wish to do a return. In this example Jupiter is selected. Make
sure you are returning to “Natal Position”. If, however, you wish to do a chart for a Jupiter
return to any other point in the zodiac; an ingress into a new sign; conjunct your Moon; or to a
fixed point in the zodiac in any way then you would select “Position or Ingress” and enter in
the degree and minute and second of the zodiac to which you wish to return Jupiter.
In the Which Return area of the form andin the Number of Returns window enter a number. If
you say “1” and “Current” then SF will go back to find the last Jupiter return and produce that
for you. If you say “2” SF will go back to the last Jupiter return and then produce the next 2
returns for you and so on.
When you are happy with this then click the OK button.
Returns and Wynn Key Cycles - Disk 4
Astro Logos – Diploma Predictive Module 7
If SF goes back to find the last Jupiter return AND it finds that Jupiter was doing a retrograde
loop over the natal Jupiter as last return THEN it will ask you to select which return. The First
Direct hit of Jupiter transit over your natal Jupiter, the Second Retrograde hit or the 3rd Direct
hit. The chart you select here should be based on your answer to point 3 above.
Using Steve Waugh as an example – to ensure that you start the sequence of returns with your
Saturn Return chart then in the return window as show, enter a date for which the last aspect
that transiting Saturn made to your natal Saturn was a conjunction and not a square or
opposition. In this case I have entered a date of 1st Dec 1999 when Steve was 34 years old to
ensure that his last transiting Saturn to natal Saturn 4th harmonic activity was the conjunction.
Click the Options button.
Returns and Wynn Key Cycles - Disk 4
Astro Logos – Diploma Predictive Module 8
Once again you will enter the Advanced Return Selections window. Now in this window with
Saturn selected enter the number “4” in the Harmonic window. This is asking for all aspects of
90 degrees. Also in the Number of Returns window enter the number “4” as we want all four
return – the Conjunction which is the main return; the waxing square which is the next 90
degree aspect; the opposition which is the next, the waning square which is the next and 4th
chart. If we only asked for 1 return in this window then you only get the Saturn, conjunct
Saturn return and nothing else no matter what harmonic you had entered.
Once again as SF looks for these returns if it finds that Saturn has done a retrograde loop as it
forms a 4th harmonic aspect to itself then it will ask you what chart you wish to use.
Try doing this for not only your Saturn returns but also look at your Pluto Square Pluto chart or
your Uranus opposition chart, or your Neptune square Neptune chart.

Planetary Firdaria

Firdaria - Disk 5 Lecture 15

The Firdaria
The Firdaria are a system of planetary periods where the life is divided into irregular
periods of years with each period being ruled by a planet, luminary or Nodal axis.
Robert Zoller gives an excellent description of the Firdaria and their history in his
book, Tools and Techniques of Medieval Astrologers.
Bonatti in his Liber Astronomiae (Trans Robert Zoller, Spica Publications Aus, 1998)
states:
“The Ancient wise men considered certain years in nativities which are not
called major nor middle nor even minor, but they called them the years of the
Firdaria, that is, disposed years. For each planet disposes its own part of the
life of the native according to its part of the years of the firdaria in this
method. Whatever kind of nativity it is, the disposition of the years of the
Firdaria begins from the luminary whose authority it is and that luminary
disposes the life of the native according to the quantity of its years of the
Firdaria, however not without the participation of the other planets."
Al-Biruni ( The Book of Instruction in the Elements of the Art of Astrology. Trans
R.Ramsay Wright. British Mus. London, 1934). some three hundred years earlier
writes:
“Ma firdarat al-kawakib. The years of a man’s life according to the Persian
idea are divided into certain periods governed by the lords of these known as
Chronocrators. When one period is finished another begins. The first period
always begins with the sun in a diurnal nativity and with the Moon in a
nocturnal one; the second with Venus in the one case, in the other with Saturn;
the remaining periods with the other planets in descending order. The years of
each period are distributed equally between the seven planets, the first seventh
belonging exclusively to the chronocrator of the period, the second to it in
partnership with the planet next below it, and so on.”
The order of the planets used in the Firdaria is the Chaldean order, with each planet
being allocated a number of years.

The Chaldean Order of the Planets and the Years of the Firdaria
For a diurnal chart one starts with the Sun, thus the first 10 years of life would be
governed by the Sun. Then, moving in a clockwise fashion the next period of eight
years would be ruled by Venus; and so on until, after Mars, one ended with the North
(good) and South (difficult) nodes. If one lives longer then 75 years the cycle starts
again with the Sun.
In a nocturnal chart one starts with the Moon, then moves in a clockwise period
around the circle Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, and so on. All ancient sources state that
the Nodes are always placed at the end of life, so for nocturnal charts after Mars, one
would then move to a period ruled by the Sun, then Venus and Mercury then the
Nodes. However, Zoller puts forward that this is incorrect and that the Nodes should
be left in their place in the circle and, for a nocturnal chart, govern the years between
Mars and the Sun.
The basic difference here is whether one works with the circle (Zoller) or whether one
works in a straight line. If one sees the Firdaria as a table, then one would be inclined
to agree with Al-Biruni. However if one sees the Firdaria as an expression of the
cycles of life, reflected in the days of the week, and thus the rhythm of the Moon, then
one would be inclined to work in the method put forward by Zoller.
In my own work with the Firdaria, I have achieved better results when working with
Zoller’s method. Nevertheless, you should experiment with this for yourself obviously
being aware that the difference in the two methods will only be displayed for a
nocturnal chart.

Once the major period has been found then the number of years, ruled by that main
planet or luminary, are divided equally into seven sub sections, each one ruled by
firstly the ruler of the major period, and secondarily by the next planet or luminary in
the Chaldean order. See Kennedy’s Firdaria in these notes.
Robert Hand, in his workshop on Planetary Periods (Australis 97) talked of the
approach one can take to these two rulers, major ruler and sub ruler, by talking about
the concept of Oneness. A being or number processes a quality that cannot be divided.
A living human cannot be divided into two and become two human beings. Humans
have oneness. But a sponge can be divided into many parts and still become a sponge
or two sponges and so on. The sponge does not have Oneness.
This concept was strong in Hellenistic astrology, with the Zodiac signs having
Oneness. Degrees, Terms and Face also have Oneness. The Greeks when measuring
something would use the smallest possible Oneness to measure its position. The
dilemma is that the larger the unit, the closer it is to the ultimate Oneness (god). Thus
a unit of which there are only two is higher then a Oneness where there are three.
Thus a sign of a Zodiac has more divinity than a degree. Oneness can exist in time as
well in space. Thus the planetary periods that are in time also have a complete unity
or Oneness, which we tend to ignore as the modern astrologer sees predictive systems
and time as a continuum.
In addition, ancient Greek philosophy is built around Form and Matter. Matter is
something that has taken on a form. For example, a wooden table has the form of a
table and the matter is that of wood. If we look at the wood, the form is wood and the
matter is cellulose. For a person the matter is their physical body while the form is
their soul or character.
In the Firdaria, the long period ruler is the Matter and the short period ruler is the
Form.
Once one has determined the Long period ruling planet (the Matter), look at the
zodiac condition of that planet, as well as its house and the condition of its ruler. Also
look to the aspect that the Firdaria planet is receiving. Then look to the short planetary
ruler in the same manner, thinking of that as the Form.

He was born with his Sun in the 8th house and therefore he has a diurnal chart. The
Sun and then Venus ruled the first two periods of his life. On his 18th birthday he
moved into his Mercury Firdaria.
Mercury in 8th in Taurus, ruling the 9th and 12th. In this period Kennedy was
studying at Harvard.
Mercury is the Matter and Moon is the Form. Thus the essence is to do with learning,
studying or business, and so on, but the expression of it is in the emotional, family,
world of the Moon. His Moon in Virgo, in the 11th house, and rules the 10th house. It
is in mutual reception to Mercury. In this period Kennedy is taken by his father - the
current US ambassador to Great Britain - to act as his secretary in the UK. This is a
good period for Kennedy and indeed gives an insight into the future career of the
young Harvard student. In this period he writes his senior thesis, which later becomes
a best seller.
Saturn is conjunct the MC in the 10th house ruling the 4th and 5th houses. It is in
detriment in Cancer. This is a period without a lot of activity. He graduated from
Harvard and focused on rewriting his thesis to become the platform for his chosen
career as a writer. (Saturn as Form taking the Mercury and forging it into a career
statement). The book is a best seller - the Saturn is angular - but that career will later
be abandoned - Saturn is in Cancer. The planet creates but then destroys, or in this
case just removes.
Jupiter is in Taurus in the 8th, ruling the 3rd and the 6th. This is a Jupiter that tends
to bring service, or loss of power by one’s own action for it is succedent, which is of
average strength, but it brings with it matters of the 3rd and 6th houses. By September
1941 Kennedy entered the Navy.
Mars is in the 8th house and in detriment ruling the 2nd and the 7th. It is in this period
that Kennedy is injured by the open enemy, the Japanese, and spends the remainder of
the war first in hospital and then acting as a teacher (Mercury as Matter) or a trainer
to military personnel (Mars as Form).
The Sun is in the 8th in Gemini and rules the 11th house. I don’t know when his elder
brother died but I would conclude it is in this period, for here is where his life
changes, and he takes on his family’s and his father’s dreams. The Sun is weakly
aspected implying that he has little to say in the matter. In this period he had major
surgery on his back and he began to run for Congress.
Venus is in the 8th in Gemini, ruling the Ascendant and the 8th, and also forming a
trine to the Ascendant. This is obviously a major Firdaria, as this is the powerful
ascendant ruler that promises success in expressing his prime motivation. It is in this
period that Kennedy is elected into Congress. The dream of the writer and or teacher
is finished as the Mercury Firdaria ends.
This whole Moon period is going to be very good for Kennedy, as the Moon is well
aspected in the 11th house in Virgo, ruler of the 10th house, and in mutual reception
to Mercury. The matter is now the Moon – Lord of the MC.
This was his first few years in Congress. He had won a safe seat, and could therefore
start to express himself on the floor without fear of losing popularity. The beginning
of his political career.
History does not tell us anything in this period. One would surmise that Kennedy was
struggling to establish himself or even fighting battles that lead him nowhere, as the
Saturn is in difficult condition.
In this period Kennedy is still in Congress. The last Jupiter period saw him enter the
Navy; this period sees him still working away, at being a Congressman.
Although this should be a difficult period, he uses it to leave his safe seat in Congress
and seek election to the Senate. His Mother and sisters (the Moon) ran Kennedy teas
Firdaria - Disk 5 Lecture 15

www.BernadetteBrady.com
to raise funds for his election. This would have been a very worrying and hard
working period. In November 1952 he won a seat in the Senate.
In this period Kennedy had serious back problems and spent six months strapped to a
plank in his father’s house. It is interesting to note that Kennedy also was against his
father’s support for McCarthy, but choose to absent himself on the day of the vote.
During this period he wrote Profiles of Courage, which was not published until 1956.
Note that in the last Sun sup-period Kennedy had back surgery and was also going
through a difficult time.
His book Profiles of Courage is published and he makes a speech on the new medium
of TV. Overnight he becomes the most popular politician in the USA. This is a lovely
example of the mutual reception between the Moon and Mercury.
The Saturn Firdaria is going to be the most difficult because, due to its angularity, it
will give him power and a public profile, but because Saturn is in detriment the power
gained will be lost. If Kennedy had chosen a more alternative career, maybe that of
the writer, then the Saturn in detriment may have been able to function in a less
destructive way.
In this period he travelled the country seeking preselection as the Democrat candidate.
He was very successfully re elected to the Senate and by mid 1960 was on his way to
the White House.
It is in this period that Kennedy was elected to the White House. In the past Jupiter
had proved a difficult period, each time leading him into a new phase on his life.
Mercury - Jupiter was when he entered the Navy. The Moon-Jupiter was less vibrant.
Firdaria - Disk 5 Lecture 15

Here we have Saturn - Jupiter with Saturn in the sign of Jupiter’s exaltation. A
possibly better time for changes, but now we also have power. Jupiter rules the 3rd
and the 6th, however, so one gets a hint of the possible collapse to come.
Kennedy becomes a father again, only to have his newborn son die at age 11 days old.
He is then assassinated in November 1963. This Saturn-Mars period, with both
malefics in detriment, as well as strongly placed in the chart, seemed to be enough to
end his life.
3) The sub-period is the form and needs to be considered within the matter of the
major period.
When Kennedy was in his Saturn Firdaria he entered a sub-period ruled by Jupiter
(exalted ruler of the MC, which it also sextiles). In this period he gains power and
success as he is elected the President, yet this is Saturn’s career, the career of his
family. If he had lived long enough to have entered his Jupiter period, then we
would have seen the full expression of this Jupiter, possibly giving him greater
success as a writer, or in a way that was more personal and fulfilling.

Question 1 (Written question 2,500 words)
Margaret (born 5th August, 1962 in London, UK 510N 30’ 000W 10’ at 11.08 am BST) has been divorced
for ten years and is living in Adelaide. Two years ago she met Archy and for the last 12 months they have
been happily living together. They plan to marry at the end of the year (2000). Margaret is seeking clarity
concerning several issues. Although she is 38 years old she is considering the prospect of a child (she has
none from her previous marriage) as well as she wants to start her own business in hairdressing. Using at
least two predictive systems look at the years of 2000, and 2001 and address these issues for Margaret.

APPENDIX 1

Creating a 90 5 Year Transit Graph
using Solar Fire.
Many of the astrological software programs available today will create a ‘transit
graph’ or a ‘graphic ephemeris’. These instructions are for Solar Fire (v. Gold)
because this is the software that we are familiar with. If you have other software
and are unsure of how to produce transit graphs then ask your provider.
Open the chart for which you wish to create a Graphic Ephemeris. With the
chart selected (as shown for Woody Allen) click the Graphic Ephemeris icon as
shown in figure 1. Or in an earlier version of Solar Fire select ‘DYNAMIC’ from
the top menu and then on its drop down menu select ‘Graphic Ephemeris’.
144
There is much to look at in on the Graphic Ephemeris screen. There are
effectively three (3) columns. The left hand column is for the date range and it
will also show you the birth location for the chart for which you are working
with. Above the date range – which you can change – is the location of Saved
Sections, highlight in dark blue in figure 2. Click on the small arrow at the end
of this blue box and you will see a list of previously saved selections of
settings for creating graphs.
There is a 900 2-year graph already saved. You can select this and then
change the date range to 5 years.
In the third column on the right you will see a button Save Section… After any
selection of options you can save and name your selections. These will then
appear in the drop down box under Saved Selections for you to use again
whenever you wish.
You can adjust the points you plot on the Graphic Ephemeris by going to the
Point Selection box (right hand column) and clicking on whatever is listed next
to Transits. This will enable you to add and subtract planet or points and save
those as new files which you can then select for the plotting of your graphic
ephemeris, see figure 3.
When you click on the name of the file next to Transits you are given the
opportunity to either select another set of transiting points (left hand dialog
box in figure 3) or by selecting the name of a file and then EDIT you are able
to edit a given file, (right hand dialog box in figure 3), then save it and then
select it for use in your graph.
145
You can follow the same procedure for the Radix planets, the natal planets
that you want to place on your graph.
The centre column in the screen shown in figure 1 is for altering the
appearance of your graph. If you check the different radio buttons (check
boxes) and then click View, you will see how these different options work.
You can also use these graphs to plot progressions and solar arc – the
options in at the top of the centre column.
Figure 4 is the graph for Woody Allen. If you wish to change the time range,
planets plotted or natal planets used then select Quit which will return you to
the previous screen. Make your adjustments and then re plot your graph.
When you are ready you can select Print.
We cover how to lay these graphs out, read them and include them in your
predictive work in the lectures of this module.
146
APPENDIX 2
Producing a Lunar Phase Printout in Solar Fire.
There are different ways you can find the lunar phase. However, the following
is a simple way and it provides you with a useful printout to use in your
consultations.
From the Main Screen as shown in figure 1, select the chart for which you
wish to find the lunar phases. Then select the Dynamic icon or select
Dynamic from the main menu and then Transits and Progressions. This
opens the Dynamic Report Screen, shown in figure 2.
147
The Dynamic Report Screen is arranged in a very similar manner to the
Graphic Ephemeris Screen already discussed.
Check the Saved Selections drop box and look for Progressed Lunar Phase
xx-xx. If it is there select it, edited the dates that you wish to scan for and then
click View.
If there is no listing for Progressed Lunar Phases then duplicate the selections
shown in the screen in figure 2. Be sure to select under Prog, in the right
hand column the SUNMOON file by clicking on whatever file is listed there
and then selecting this file from the list displayed. You can edit the
progressed planet files in the same manner that you can edit the transiting
planets when you are constructing a graphic ephemeris.
Figure 3 is the resulting list of lunar phases, showing sign and house changes
as well as the relationship between the progressed Sun and the progressed
Moon. Sort this list by Date/Time to get a chronological listing that you can
use with your clients.
We discuss how to organise and work with this information in the lectures in
this module.
148
APPENDIX 3
Creating a Time Map in Solar Fire
Creating a time map in Solar Fire or by hand is a two-step process. Firstly you
need to find the transits and progressions that you consider are important for
the forthcoming period of time and secondly then you need to place them into
the Time Map format.
As for the finding the Progressed Lunar Phases, open the Dynamic Report
screen by selecting the Dynamic icon or using the Dynamic menu from the
main screen.
Figure 2– the Dynamic Report screen set up for Transits and Progressions
149
Figure 2 is the Dynamic Report screen ready to run 12 months of transits and
progressions for Woody Allen commencing from 1 January 2011.
When you first open this screen check to see if you have under the SAVE
SELECTIONS a listing called Transits and Progressions (1 year). If so select it
and your screen should then look the same as in figure 2. If you do not have
this listing then you will need to create the options then SAVE your selections
using the SAVE SELECTION button.
This screen allows you to do the following. In the left hand column you can:
a) Set the start date and the length of time for the scan.
b) Select the natal or relocated place for the calculation of the
progressions.
In the top right hand corner of the screen you can select the Dynamic type.
Make sure that Progressions are set to Secondary.
When you have the selections established then save them. You can always
