The prediction technique of solar arcs is resourceful and powerful. It is based on concepts of primary directions formulated by Ptolemy early in the second century, but this technique, refined over centuries, is much simpler.  

The report is as easy as reading the newspaper to see, literally, years at a glance, punctuated by the arcs of major change and the behavioral nuance before and after. So quickly, the power of solar arcs is personalized and translated into modern behavioral potentials. It gives you a monthly reference for all relevant predictive arcs.

Arcs become background blueprints of developmental growth. Transits then become the accents that "set off" the potentials of the developing horoscope at any given period of time. For example, transits of Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto define large periods of time, focused on particular concerns suggested by their slow passage through any given house. When an aspect "connection" is made with natal planets in the given house or elsewhere, the structure of life is affected in terms of that given house and the house ruled by the transiting planet.

You might be impressed by how they show actual manifestation rather than more internal processes. I try to make my astrology very practical, so when doing forecasts, I use those methods that will give the best results to my clients, and the hard aspects seem to be more "concrete" for me.

Previously undefined aspects are formed between the solar arc positions and the natal positions. The result: a whole new look at your future. The few pages of a Solar Arc Predictions report may be the most compact and useful forecasting tool an astrologer will find.
