Combining solar returns, profections and other traditional predictive
techniques
The correct
combination of techniques is one of the keys to successful prediction.
While each technique by itself can offer a partial view of future possibilities,
a correct combination of techniques provides proper focus, context and
timing leading to greater and more detailed accuracy.
In this lecture we will demonstrate such a combination using solar returns,
profections and certain techniques, applied to the nativities.
