Steven Forrest, author of the award-winning and critically acclaimed book on basic astrology, The Inner Sky, sequels that outstanding work with this dynamic text on predictive astrology. Here you will find a brief review of the astrological basics (planets, houses, signs and aspects) and then the heart of the book -
Transits - the current positions of the planets in the sky compared to one's birth chart. Outer planets are discussed in terms of their "Teacher" or "Trickster" potentials. Also addressed is the cycle of the houses and the tasks represented by each.
Progressions - a day symbolically equated to a year in one's life. Thorough explanations of progressed Moon through the houses and signs, and changing angles (Midheaven and Ascendant) are presented.
The Art of Synthesis - how to put it all together.
Also includes an appendix with valuable information on how to look up transits and calculate secondary progressions.
This practical guide to predictive astrology shows the reader how to make better life choices, with a focus on personal freedom and responsibility.
Gazing through astronomical telescopes in his early teens led Steven to begin exploring astrology. He received a B.A. in Religion in 1971 from the University of North Carolina, and shortly thereafter began to establish his astrological practice. His first book, The Inner Sky, was published in 1984 and was followed by The Changing Sky, The Night Speaks, The Book of Pluto, and the recently revised edition of Skymates, written with his wife, Jodie.
Steven is current Chair of the Advisory Council for Kepler College, an accredited astrologically-oriented university in Seattlle, Washington. Steven has written articles for most of the major American astrological journals, and has written the monthly astrology columns for Elle and Sassy magazines. In addition to innumerable appearances on radio and internet programs around the country, his work has been translated into several languages.
Now, one of the most popular astrologers on the conference circuit, Steven lectures throughout the United States, Mexico and Canada, although his primary focus is still on his private astrological practice.
