Classical Directions
Transits, progressions, solar return, profections, releasing, firdaria
Primary Directions: Diurnal Motion, Keys, and Calculation
Primary directions are a classical timing technique built on the diurnal rotation of the celestial sphere: an arc of right ascension is converted into years of life. This guide covers the astronomy and calculation, the 1°-per-year and Naibod keys, directions of angles and planets, aspects and orbs, timing, interpretation, worked examples, limits, and common mistakes.
Secondary Directions: The Day-for-a-Year Method
Secondary directions map one day after birth onto one year of life. This guide covers the directed chart, the real speeds of directed planets and angles, aspects and time-based orbs, event timing, the difference from secondary progressions and primary directions, and a practical reading method with worked examples and common mistakes.
