Reinhold Ebertin explains his method for rapid and reliable analysis of the natal chart and predictive factors, including the three basic factors used in chart interpretation and forecasting. He begins by explaining the use of midpoints as a valuable tool in both natal and predictive astrology, and how they can identify periods of career success and medical issues.All of the author's points are illustrated with numerous examples in three basic categories: successful people in a variety of careers; people who experienced major change and transformation in their lives; people who died as the result of accident, suicide, and health factors; and people who experienced major career setbacks. A final section in the book includes twenty-four short examples that indicate successful periods, as well as health-related events.
