Predictive astrology, also known as time astrology, focuses on forecasting future events and trends by analyzing the movements and positions of celestial bodies, particularly planets and stars, in relation to a person's natal chart. It involves techniques like transit analysis, progressions, and planetary returns to understand potential life events and timing. While not scientifically validated, it offers a framework for interpreting planetary influences and their potential impact on various aspects of life.
