Most of us want to know what will happen to us in the future. However, astrology can never answer these questions in absolute terms. The astrologer looking at a chart cannot see events and people written on it, but they can see combinations of energy and patterns of ideas, which are likely to show in certain ways.
There are many forms of prediction used in astrology - some simple and others complex. Some of the methods use the daily movements of the planets and their effect on the natal birthchart on specific events, or general topics. Other methods require the subject to answer questions before referring to the planetary movement, while others involve further mathematical calculations.
By studying a chart it is possible to see the types of issues that are likely to occur in a person's life. Knowing the kind of energies that will be to the fore at a particular time, the astrologer will suggest ways in which they can be most constructively directed.
As such, astrology cannot predict the future, although it can look at the qualities of a particular time, and, like a weather forecaster, make informed guesses about the kind of concerns you are likely to be facing.
