If I were with Picasso, I could request, "Maestro, may I please see a drawing of life? A glimpse of life?" I can see Picasso taking paper and pen, and drawing upon impulse the fewest lines. After putting his signature to it, he would turn the page around and hand it to me. What would I see? The few lines wouldn’t tell me things specific, but the drawing would cause a knowledgeable reaction within me. Through the master's simplicity, so much could be said as it touched my awareness and learning.

As an astrological metaphor, it's tempting to think of this sweet story as a lunar tale, since young Dorothy spends most of the film looking for a way to return home. But I see the story a little differently. Maybe it's just those shiny, ostentatious ruby slippers that got Dorothy in so ...
As a divination tool, predictive astrology is really about planning your future. Why? Because life and astrology are not at all fateful. The choices you make are what are fateful, and by making informed decisions, you increase your odds for success in your job, relationships, finances, and much more. Predictive astrology can give you this edge in life, and it provides accurate timing to help you know when and where to focus your efforts. In my book, Llewellyn's Complete Book of Predictive Astrology, you'll learn about nearly every technique used by professional astrologers.
