Quarter 5 - Lesson 9:
Consolidating skills: What are Concurrent Causes? What is their relevance in forecasting?


Our lesson considers the topic of what Morin calls "concordant causes". The cooperation or agreement between causes as seen in the different timing techniques to provoke or manifest an event as seen in potential natally is what Morin calls "concordance" or "concordant causes."

"An astrologer skilled in the concordance of causes and effects, will only need a few directions to [know] the state of the whole year, that is to recognize the Native's principal changes emanating from the stars in that year." J.B. Morin Astrologia Gallica, Book 24, Progressions and Transits, Page 82
Forecasting is a deductive process that begins with a good understanding of the natal chart followed by noting how Primary Directions and Solar Returns must necessarily cooperate with Transits for an event (seen potentially in the natal chart) to occur. This is especially important when it comes to major life events.

After placing Transits in context with these former timing techniques, we trace through a series of yearly transits the tragedy of Rachel Entwistle, an American homicide victim and her 9-month daughter who were found dead in their home in Hopkinton, MA on January 22, 2006.
