We begin our lesson with a review of the elementary considerations for comparing two charts using the horoscopes of the rectified chart of Ted Hughs, the poet laureate who was married to the American poet Sylvia Plath, the subject of lessons 7 and 8. We then go on to consider the topic of what Morin calls "concurrent causes". We then focus on the relationship of a Promissor as an active cause affecting the Significator.

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, we trace through a series of yearly transits the tragedy of Rachel Winstle an American homicide victim and her 9-month daughter who were found dead in their home in Hopkinton, MA on January 22, 2006.
