The natal chart can be compared to the face of a clock that contains the entire potential of character tendencies and probable events. Although the potential is there at the moment of birth, it is not all expressed at that moment. As the days, months, and years unfold, chart progressions and other factors bring certain potential developments into focus. Then the transiting planets, representing outside circumstances, and the aspects they make to a chart, indicate a specific day for an event, whether it is to begin a new study, to marry, to have a child, to make a move, or to step on a nail. Thus does the cosmic rhythm establish the timing of all things. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and this is one of the best reasons for each individual to know the potential pattern of his or her natal chart, which is the road map of life's journey. In this context and using a multitude of astrological techniques and examples, Priscilla Gilbert explains how to identify accident patterns in the chart. Included are examples of those who survived serious accidents, as well as those that were fatal.
