Thank you for your response!
Cadent houses aren't capable of "generating" anything. Or at least very rarely. Mostly they are going to be about "reacting" to something.
True, I was half kidding about my friends.
My directions has an exact trine of Sun to Mars in 11th. How that might manifest in my life has had me curious for a while. Now that Aries/Mars/6th house is highlighted this year I see verifiable results. Even though directed Sun is in a cadent house, it rules the 10th and sits in the first. Mars rules the Asc. In my understanding of astrology there will be activity. Or maybe I'm reacting to seeing my mother at Christmas and her being in such pain. I appreciate how complicated these issues can get.
When you look at profections, it's to see what planets are "activated" during that year. But you still have to keep in mind the natal condition of those planets, as well as the difference between lunar and solar things (sect, and the idea that solar houses/planets will be the things that happen because of us, while lunar things will be what happens to us), and those tie back to lunar and solar hemispheres in the chart. Everything above the horizon is solar, below, lunar.
You bring up a very important point of which I've been struggling to understand. My Sun below the horizon shows my chart to be a night chart. Chris Brennan found in his experience that Suns so close to the horizon can actually be in the opposite sect. A day chart in my circumstance. He recommends looking how the planets have acted in your life to make a determination. Jupiter and Saturn have been much kinder in my life than Mars and Venus. Can you help make sense of this for me?
The planets are important to watch with transits, but it will be rare indeed that a simple transit can trigger an event. Rather, it's about a theme. Directions are usually more accurate at pinpointing precise events.
End of Oct. Jupiter exactly conj natal Saturn and my son moved. (This is one of those examples where Jupiter was kind to me)
This was a profected 5th year, Jupiter rules and conj the ruler of the 4th house. Transiting Saturn sextile natal Moon from the second house. I did lose his financial income from rent. Again this is where Saturn is challenging but I prepared for him going through my second house and did not cause
chaos as an out-of-sect Saturn is known to do. Edit: Chaos is not the right word. Despair is Saturn style.
Tradional astrology, as a predictive method, isn't as easy as it should be. Which is why most neo-traditional practitioners go straight to horary for specific questions.
The horary chart that predicts an event will be demonstrated in the natal chart. But I agree the horary chart it's much easier to read.
Thank you, Tamara. I appreciate you time. Again, I appreciate how complicated astrology is even though it looks so simple after the fact.
