Frequently asked questions

The natal horoscope is strongly taken into account in the Yearly Horoscope. There are elements which are directly connected with the dominant "archetypal themes" in the Psychological Horoscope. With all transits and progressions that are discussed, the relative weight of the natal factors is considered.
Each time a Yearly Horoscope is generated, our computer calculates a Psychological Horoscope behind the scenes as a basis for decisions which transits and progressions have to be selected.
We do not publish the logic behind our calculations and interpretations. Therefore this is not directly visible in the Yearly Analysis. It is mentioned in the appendix however.

If all transits and progressions were included in these forecast horoscopes, they would be several hundred pages long and very confusing.
The interpretation model of these reports makes a finely balanced selection according to the rules Liz Greene has developed with Astrodienst. The balancing and selection process is very complex and cannot be explained in detail here.
We cannot guarantee that a particular transit or progression is covered in Liz Greene's reports. Please also note the "Technical information" at the end of the Yearly Horoscope Analysis where it says: "Not all transits or progressions which occur during a year are included in the printed report, only those selected by Liz Greene's model of interpretation." You can find this information in our full sample reports.

If two persons have the same transit or the same planetary progression during that period, they will get a similar or even identical description for that event.
The Long-Term Horoscope also contains sections which describe developments of particular age groups which share certain "generation aspects" in their natal charts. If the two people belong to the same age group, these sections will probably be identical in their reports.

Robert Hand and Liz Greene use different orbs for their forecast reports.

The (Extended) Daily Horoscope, Transits of the Year, and Astrotext Forecast by Robert Hand use an orb of 1° for all transits to all natal planets.

Liz Greene uses a more complex system which considers different factors, such as pre-orb / post-orb, aspect type, and the planets involved. It would be too complex to list all the orbs individually. The least we can say is that her orbs are generally wider, and therefore the activity period is usually longer than it would be with a 1° orb.
