PrefaceIn the last decades, there have been spectacular advances in predictiveastrology. After the creation of the Topocentric System by VendelPolich and A. P. Nelson Page, astrological prediction has entered anew dimension, allowing traditional techniques such as directions orTransits as well as other modern procedures to work with greaterprecision. This has contributed to the reliability and exactitude of ourscience-art never before achieved.In this book, a predictive system is presented that is composed ofdifferent techniques which, because of their special characteristics andisolated or joint operating capacity, require a considerable timeinvestment for their complete mastery. Although time is necessary tomaster the collection of procedures developed here, this effort isrewarded with a successful astrological practice in predictive material.At this moment in time, the diffusion of the discoveries andcontributions shown in this book is limited in our field.

Chapter 1Introduction to Predictive AstrologyIn this book, I am going to show the most advanced predictive systemin genethliacal astrology. This system is made up of a series oftraditional techniques, optimized and used with different variations, aswell as with other more recently created techniques.These techniques are:-Primary Directions.-Secondary Directions.-PSSR.-Lunar Cyclic Charts.-Transits.-Solar and Lunar Returns.-SRA.-Ascensional Transits.-Harmonic Age.It is necessary to add some truly revolutionary procedures to this listof techniques, such as the Dual Test or the predictive application oftraditional procedures such as Fixed Stars or Lunations and Eclipses.Another special feature of this system is the utilization of the Epoch orconception chart, a technique recovered from traditional astrology.11

The attainment of this effective system, on a predictive astrologicallevel, has only been possible thanks to the discovery of theTopocentric System by Vendel Polich and A.P. Nelson Page, and alsoto the improvements introduced over various decades by researcherssuch as Alexander Marr, Cyril Fagan and Isaac Starkman.There are two fundamental things necessary in order to be able towork with this system:-The Topocentric House System.-The rectification of birth times.The Topocentric System as a house system is used in order to obtain amore reduced orb in the transits or directions to the intermediate housecusps since these techniques do not work with a larger orb.The rectification of the Radix is absolutely necessary as it is thecornerstone of this predictive system. Without the corrected birthtime, it is practically impossible to use these techniques, which requirea very reduced orb in order to be applied. It is also impossible toobtain the Epoch without a rectified birth time.Computers have contributed to a great advance in this field,facilitating the calculations and permitting the use of software that hasrevolutionized predictive astrology with the semi-automaticrectification of birth times.In the following chapters, the different above-mentioned subjects andtechniques will be developed and real examples will be shown usingthis system.12

All of the predictive techniques shown in the book, if properlyinterrelated, form a true modern predictive system.Regarding how to approach the practice of predictive astrology, thereare many possible ways to undertake the study or analysis of aspecific period of time. However, there are two main types ofanalysis:Predictive astrology for a date fixed beforehandWithin this block, we will be looking at events like trips, surgeries, theresults of political elections or any event that we know will take placeon a specific day, month and year. In this case, it will be enough tostudy all the techniques together for the date in question, valuing theresults that are deduced from each of them simultaneously, for theRadix as well as for the Epoch. The result of the reading, in a positiveor negative direction, is usually very clear, making it relatively easy topredict successfully for a previously established date.The study of a period of time, in generalIn this case, we have no time reference, nor do we know the type ofevent or experience that the person to be studied will have for theperiod of time in question. Here, we should base the study on theRadix. If the study is for one year, we should begin by demarcatingthe year to be studied from the conventional Solar Return, whichindicates which type of events and psychological experiences theperson will have in general. After studying this, it is recommended tolook first at the planetary transits applied to the Radix, which are thecornerstone of predictive astrology. The Transits will indicate theevents, trends or experiences of the person for the period studied,indicating the approximate dates in which they could happen. Then,13

with Primary and Secondary Directions, PSSR and Lunar CyclicCharts we can confirm and better define the events or trends to beexpected as well as write down the most probable dates for an event totake place with greater precision. The variants of Solar and LunarReturns, the SRA, the Harmonic Age, the Fixed Stars and theLunations and Eclipses will be a good complement to all of thesetechniques. A correct use of the Epoch and the Dual Test will also benecessary.In combination with this book, software programs such as Polaris andAstro are recommended as support, which is almost indispensable inorder to work with the main techniques put forth here. Both of thesesoftware programs are referenced at the end of the book.In predictive astrology, the objective is to make correct predictions.This system has sufficiently demonstrated its high effectiveness withthe correct predictions made by Alexander Marr, Isaac Starkman andthe author of this book in different astrological publications.14

Chapter 2The Topocentric House SystemThe Topocentric House System was discovered in the middle of the20th century by Vendel Polich and A.P. Nelson Page. It was presentedfor the first time in their native country of Argentina, spreadingquickly to other South American countries, especially Peru,Venezuela and Columbia. The premature death in 1970 of one of thecreators, A. P. Nelson Page, of English origin, impeded its diffusion tothe English speaking astrological community.In the year 1976, the book El Sistema Topocéntrico (1) was publishedin Spanish, presenting this house system. There is an English versionof this book (The Topocentric System) published by the samepublishing company.The Topocentric System is the true house system. As its authorsstated, this house system was not created but discovered. This housesystem was the only one obtained empirically and verified by itsdiscoverers, and separately by Cornelius, Kemp, Marr, Millard andother astrologers (2).This is what V. Polich and A.P. Nelson Page say about the discoveryprocess in an article published in the magazine Spica (3):15

"We started out from the following reasoning: if it is possible toestablish with total exactitude the precise moment of a birth by meansof the important events in the life of a given person (rectifications wehave often achieved), then why not determine the circle of a house bymeans of the events of the same nature as that house? To do this, wehad only to invert the procedure employed in PD's: start off from thedirectional ecliptic point that produced the event, add to it the arc ofage (Naibod), and measure the arc upon the respective parallel fromthe ecliptic point and thus obtain a real point belonging to the circleof the house which we sought. If we repeated this procedure withother events characteristic of that house, we would obtain variouspoints upon the respective parallels, which, all together, wouldperforce have to coincide with a segment of the real circle of thehouse. Uniting these points in a curve, we would obtain the circlebuilt up out of the actual events in a given life. The idea was put to thetest. We collected series of events, related to a given intermediatehouse, of people whose time of birth was known very precisely. Thefirst effective house circle we obtained was of the 9th, by means of thedates of a series of long voyages (see figure 1). We submitted thecurve we thus established the mathematical analysis to see to whatpole it belonged, so as to be able to reproduce it mathematically."Figure 1.Determination of house circle with the aid of events.16

This house system defends, among other astronomical andmathematical considerations, not to consider the earth center as theprimary reference, nor its axis as the point around which the universerevolves, but to consider instead the point of the earth’s surface, fromthe Greek “topos” place, where the individual was born. V. Polich andA. P. Nelson Page discovered or adopted the idea that the universe, fora given point on the Earth, does not revolve around the earth’s axis invirtue of the movement of rotation, but around an axis parallel to theearth’s axis that passes through the point of the earth where theindividual is at the moment of birth.Figure 2 a.Houses and cusps (diurnal).The astrological houses are not generated on the sphere, but instead17
