This talk reviews the basic concepts which underlie the use of primary directions in Western astrology, beginning with the Hellenistic period up to modern times, and will illustrate these ideas with case examples. The birth chart contains the natal promise of the individual. Primary directions help to pinpoint periods of life during which the natal promise will manifest. After the birth of the native, the Earth continues to rotate on its axis – the so-called primary motion of the sky. Ptolemy symbolically equated one degree of rotation, measured on the Equator, with one year of life. During periods when natal planets or chart points rotate to positions held by other points in the birth chart, events are expected to occur in the life of the native. This form of directing by primary motion was the major predictive technique in astrology at least until the time of Lilly and Morinus in the 17th century. Modern astrologers have tended to shy away from primary directions because of their reliance on spherical trigonometry, which make them a bit harder to calculate. Nonetheless, primary directions remain a powerful tool which belongs in the armamentarium of all predictive astrologers.
