The Art of Predictive Astrology

Carol Rushman writes about her book:
“This book is a step-by-step system for making predictions. Each chapter is a step in the process. When you have finished the book, you will be able to predict cycle and trends, and give your client about fifteen important dates for the coming year, as well as big events for the next several years.”
Rushman’s book is jammed packed with extrapolations of various kinds of astrological data. It is apparent from the information in the book that she is a very astute astrologer with an excellent knowledge base on which to base her interpretations. But rather being a step by step system for making predictions, it more like a conversation at the dinner table with two astrologers discussing various books they’ve read. Interesting bits and pieces are interspersed with general astrological knowledge on various techniques. Perhaps it would have helped if her last chapter, (rewritten) was her first. That, at least, would set the stage for the information that follows.
However, there are more reasons to read this book than not.
Worthwhile pieces include T-Square interpretation by modality, planets in retrograde motion and house progressions.
This would be a good text for intermediate astrology students, casual readers and beginners would only be lost, advanced astrologers might find it a good read to brush up on techniques.
