"If the primary directions were surely the favourite tool of the traditional astrologer, they generally were used together with solar returns and profections. Only combining the three tools together a prediction is possible- something very far from the modern use of transits.
If solar returns are still in use, not the same we can say about primary directions and profections: both are based on some movement; the first one of the movement of primum mobile, the second progressing the nativity and the main significators (especially the Ascendant which is the sign of the year) by 30 degrees a year."
