*What is Horary Astrology?

1. You can ask a question about any topic.

2. Yes/No questions phrased in the future tense are the easiest to read. (Example: Will I win the lottery with this ticket?) But, basically all questions that will reveal their real-life outcome within the next 3-6 months are acceptable. (Keep in mind that not all readers are prepared to read all questions, for various reasons.)

3. The question should reflect something that is possible within the following 3-6 months. (Example of a bad question: Will my toddler become a doctor when she grows up?) Life is always changing based on free will, so outcomes that are far away have the possibility of changing too easily.

4. The question should regard something that directly affects you, and is of real importance in your life. The question should not be either a passing curiosity question or a spying question (ex. Is my ex dating someone new?)

5. Often there is a real underlying question beneath the question that you are asking with your energy, but not asking with words. Horary answers the question your energy asks, so it is vital that the question you phrase reflects the energy question you are transmitting. (ex. You may phrase the question, "Is my ex dating someone new?", but the underlying question is, "Does my ex still have feelings for me?") In this case, the reader may answer incorrectly because the reader is giving an answer to a different question. (ex. The reader may read "Yes, he is seeing someone new", but really the answer is "Yes, he still has feelings for you".) Write the question you are really asking. When you know the question you are really asking, write it down, with the exact time, date, and place of THAT moment.

6. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. Most horary questions asked, are asked because you suspect something is not going to turn out as you would like. 9 times out of 10 your gut is right - so, the horary chart is likely going to confirm your negative suspicions. Decide whether you actually want to have those suspicions confirmed before submitting a horary question to be read.

Most people seem to use traditional horary astrology to determine the answer to questions. Traditional horary astrology uses some different methods and terminology.

First, the outer planets (that cannot be seen with a naked eye) were not used, so certain signs are associated with planets using the traditional system. (However, outer planets may be taken into account by some traditional readers, or even used as significators by modern readers.)

Different houses represent different ideas. There are many, as you can see here: http://www.linda-goodman.com/ubb/Forum36/HTML/000560.html

To keep it simple, here are two general concepts used for each house:

House 1 = Me/my life
House 2 = My money/values
House 3 = Communication/Siblings
House 4 = My house/The end
House 5 = Romance/my children
House 6 = My health/My daily job
House 7 = My girlfriend/boyfriend
House 8 = Crisis/Sorrow
House 9 = Spirituality/Long-distance travel
House 10 = Career/Fame
House 11 = My hopes/friends
House 12 = Self-undoing/Confinement

If the question is: "Will I get the job?"

The reader will use the signs on the cusps of the two main houses to determine the PRIMARY SIGNIFICATORS, which represent the "players" in the question and the answer to the question.

Here are the signs and their traditional rulerships:

Aries = Mars
Taurus = Venus
Gemini = Mercury
Cancer = Moon
Leo = Sun
Virgo = Mercury
Libra = Venus
Scorpio = Mars
Sagittarius = Jupiter
Capricorn = Saturn
Aquarius = Saturn
Pisces = Jupiter

If the question above uses houses 1 and 10, the reader will look to see which signs land on the cusps of the first and tenth houses.

If the sign on the first house is Scorpio and the sign on the tenth house is Leo, then the significators will be the (traditional) planetary rulers of those signs. The rulers (or Lords) of those signs are: Mars for Scorpio and Sun for Leo.

Order of the Speed of the Planets:

1. The Querent
The 1st person or thing talked about in the question, or the Asker of the question––not the same as the Reader. If the Reader creates a chart for someone else, the chart must be "Turned" to reflect the true Querent of the question.

2. The Quesited
The 2nd person or thing inquired about within the question. The Quesited's house must be calculated from the first house of the Querent, therefore, if the chart is turned for the Querent, the house of the Quesited must also reflect that by adjusting accordingly.

Angular: 1,4,7,10. The houses of "being in power". High strength/speed.
Succeedent: 2,5,8,11. The houses of "rising to power". Medium strength/speed.
Cadent: 3,6,9,12. The houses of "falling from power". Weak strength/speed.

The type of house offers information about strength of significators/planets within the houses.

Each sign has planets that are either comfortable/accepted/invited or uncomfortable/rejected/uninvited inside them.

When a planet is in a sign that it Rules or is Exalted in, then it is comfortable.
When it is in a sign that it is in Detriment or in Fall, then it is uncomfortable.

For example, if Mars is in Libra, it is in Detriment, therefore Mars is uncomfortable, rejected or uninvited. If Mars is a main significator in a question, then the person or thing represented by Mars is not in good conditions with regards to the question.

On the other hand, if Mars is in Capricorn, it is Exalted, and therefore is comfortable, accepted or invited. If Mars is a main significator in the question, then the person represented by Mars is in good condition with regards to the question.

Applying [A]: indicates future happenings surrounding the question.
Separating [S]: indicates past happenings surrounding the question.

Ascendant degrees:
If it is more than 27˚ many people will say that it is too late to change the answer, or the asker of the question already knows the answer. If it is less than 3˚, the chart is saying that it is either way too early and the outcome has not been set, or it is so early and so much is still changing that the final outcome (answer to the question) might change.

Void of Course Moon:
Within each sign the Moon travels through, it tells the story of the question. There will be points within each sign where the moon is making no aspects at all (until it moves forward a bit more or changes signs completely). Since the Moon is telling the story surrounding the question, if it is Void of Course [VoC] then it is said that either nothing at all will happen with regards to the question (it's already over), or (depending on the context of the question) that there is nothing at all to worry about.

Via Combusta [15˚Libra–15˚Scorpio]:
This is considered to be a very 'rocky' or 'heated' area of the chart. If any Significator or the Moon land here, many people consider the chart not worth reading, others find that it simply adds description to the situation (Moon) or the individuals involved (Querent/Quesited). Heated, rocky, out of control, etc... may describe the feelings of the individuals or describe the situation as a whole.

Critical Degrees [29˚ or 0˚]:
29˚ means things are about to change significantly right away, and 0˚ means the situation has just changed significantly––there's a new story/chapter starting. These degrees are most important when they appear for the Moon, Querent or Quesited. If the Moon––the situation as a whole––is at 29˚, everything is just about to change completely anyway, so some readers may see no point in answering the question at all.

Partile degrees with the Nodes of the Moon (Mean Nodes):
This adds a karmic quality to the situation, especially if the Moon is involved. Unfortunately, it is often negative, but if if the Moon or a Main significator is at the same degree as the Mean Nodes (an actual aspect is not needed), something about the question is "meant to be". Be prepared for the worst, however, because it is often said to speak of catastrophe.

Saturn in the 1st or 7th house:
If Saturn lands in the 1st house and you have cast the chart for yourself, then unless Saturn happens to be aptly describing yourself or the Quesited, then it is likely that the outcome of the question will not work out in your favor, or (at best) you will have difficulty answering your own question. If you have cast the chart yourself and it lands in the 7th house, with the exception of some relationship questions, it is said that the Reader will likely have trouble giving an answer, or will give you an incomplete or incorrect answer.

Only ask important questions. Also, spying doesn't work in horary, and the matter should somehow affect you personally. Usually spying charts are too confusing to read anyway so ur more likely to get a wrong or ambiguous answer.
