Predict the future and take control of your destiny How can astrology reveal so much about us? The natal - or birth - chart is at the core of individual astrology, and it's from here that all forecasting begins. Britain's leading astrologer Sue Merlyn Farebrother takes readers beyond the basics of planets, signs and horoscopes to help us understand our choices and ourselves. She explores the four main forecasting techniques: Transits, Progressions, Solar Arc Directions and the Solar Return Chart, guiding us on how to take charge of readings. With an in-depth approach on formulating whole chart interpretations and exercises to master the craft, Astrology Forecasting is the ultimate guide to interpreting the cosmos and looking into the future.

Mary Jane Staudenmann has been teaching and consulting in astrology since 1982. An American living in Geneva, Switzerland, she has studied astrology and the tarot in Geneva, in addition to her far-flung reading of modern humanistic astrologers in both French and English. She brings her approach toward astrology a background in psychology and a paramedical career (as a dental hygienist -an excellent platform for studying human behavior, she insists). Desire and Design is the product of a two-day seminar devoted to Venus and Mars that was held in Geneva.
