1. Sun Sign
Your Sun sign is the foundation for predictions. It represents your core personality and life path. General forecasts based on your Sun sign can indicate how upcoming planetary movements will influence your life. For instance, if Jupiter (the planet of growth) is moving into your sign, expect opportunities for expansion and success.

2. Moon Sign
Your Moon sign governs emotions and internal reactions. Predictions based on the Moon’s phases (New Moon or Full Moon) in relation to your Moon sign can highlight emotional changes, relationship dynamics, or times of personal reflection.

3. Rising Sign (Ascendant)
Your Rising sign dictates how you interact with the world. Predictions tied to your Ascendant can give insight into how you’ll be perceived or what external events may unfold in your immediate future.

4. Transits and Planetary Movements
Astrologers use transits, the movement of planets through the zodiac, to make predictions. For example:

Saturn brings structure and lessons, often signifying challenges but long-term growth.
Mercury Retrograde is infamous for communication mishaps and delays.
Eclipses often indicate sudden, transformative changes in life.
