Book Two: Astrological Prediction by Direction and the Subdivision of the Signs

For over twenty years Tools and Techniques has been a leading text for the Predictive astrologer. Now extensively revised, enlarged and released as a trilogy, this work is highly recommended to those who wish to learn and practice astrological prediction.

Tools and Techniques teaches the actual techniques used by medieval astrologers when Western astrology was at its height, over 700 years ago. This is a practical how-to text, based on Latin translations, with metaphysical and historical material, which help elucidate obscure and difficult facets of the art of Western Predictive Astrology.

The Tools and Techniques trilogy are highly recommended to those who wish to grasp the practical application of Western predictive techniques and who wish to explore the metaphysical principles upon which they are founded. They are considered essential reading for the student of Western Predictive Astrology and are standard texts for those completing both the Foundation Course in Medieval Astrology and the more advanced Diploma Course in Medieval Astrology. They include methods and techniques not found elsewhere and incorporates new research and insights that supersede earlier (pre-2002) editions of the single volume work of the same name.

Book Two deals with advanced predictive techniques and the sub-divisions of the signs:

Prediction using the Terms - a predictive technique for examining specific periods of a persons life to determine his/her state of well-being.

Prediction using the Firdaria - this predictive technique allows the astrologer to chart the whole course of the native's life without personal knowledge of the native. In doing so, the astrologer can identify major events and influences that will affect the life of the native.

Prediction using Primary Directions - the most powerful of the predictive techniques, it can be used in both natal and mundane astrology for identifying events of paramount importance.

Sub-division of the Signs - planets are stronger in some parts of a sign than in other parts. Once the basics of astrology have been learnt, these nuances of sign sub-division should be mastered. The second section of this book is devoted to this advanced level of understanding. Both the Duodecimaeand the Novenaria sub-divisions are discussed at length.

Lord of the Circle - this is a technique that combines profection with planetary hours to identify cyclical patterns that occur in all natal horoscopes. It includes detailed examples and explanation for the calculation of such things as unequal hours.
