I found that article on horary."I’m getting several questions lately from students of astrology who, seeing my relationship horaries at Seduction Central, have started casting charts for their own horary questions of the heart, and trying to make sense of them. One thing that distinguishes relationship questions from other horary questions is that, instead of just having two or three key planets to study, you may have as many as five significators in play.
It sounds complicated but it’s really not. To find the answer you’re looking for, you need to start by figuring out who’s got which role in the drama you see before you. Here’s how it works.
In any relationship horary…
1. Give the ruler of the 1st house to the querent (the person asking the question), as always.
2. Give the ruler of the 7th house to the person being asked about. This is even if they currently have some other relationship to you in real life: a friend, a supervisor, etc. You’re asking about their partnership potential.
3. Give the Moon to the querent UNLESS it’s already been put to use in Step 1 or Step 2. It stands for the querent’s heart, his/her feelings in the situation.
In male/female relationship horaries only:
4. Give the Sun to the man UNLESS it’s already been put to use in Step 1 or Step 2. In this case, Sun stands for the guy’s libido, his role as Man.
5. Give Venus to the woman UNLESS it’s already been put to use in Step 1 or Step 2. In this case, Venus stands for the woman’s libido, her role as Woman.
This means that in a male/female relationship horary, the querent could have as many as three significators (Lord 1, Moon, and either Sun or Venus) and the love interest could have as many as two (Lord 7 and either Sun or Venus). But you don’t HAVE to fill all of these roles to be able to read the chart.
How does this work? Let’s say you’re running a theater workshop. Today you’ve got some big-name actors visiting - Brad Pitt (who always plays Sun), Angelina Jolie (who always plays Venus), and Natalie Portman (who always plays Moon) - and you’d like to cast them one way or another. Some of your scripts also include other parts you’ll fill with the regulars in the workshop.
In your first script (i.e. the chart you cast for this relationship question), Gemini is rising, and a woman is your querent. So you grab a Mercurial gal from the cast of regulars to play the Querent, and a big Jupiter guy to play the Love Interest (Gemini rising = Sagittarius setting). Natalie grabs a box of tissues, Angie puts on (or takes off) something sexy, and the two of them take on their roles as Querent’s Heart and Gal’s Mojo. Brad stalks over and strikes a pose as Guy’s Mojo.
In your second script, or chart, Cancer is rising, and your querent is a man. This time, Natalie Portman, who always plays Moon, takes the role of Querent (even though querent is a guy). With Capricorn on the 7th house cusp, you find a Saturnian woman to play the Love Interest. Brad, still playing Sun, goes over his lines as Guy’s Mojo, and Angie as Venus continues to pout prettily as Gal’s Mojo.
In your third script, Aquarius is rising, and your querent is a woman. Since in the classical system Aquarius is ruled by Saturn, you hand the Querent’s lines to the Saturnian woman, and Natalie (Moon) and Angie (Venus) take their classic roles again as Querent’s Heart and Gal’s Mojo. With Leo on the 7th house cusp, Brad, the Sun, is put to work as Love Interest, and thus is too busy to play his automatic role of Guy’s Mojo.
Places, everyone. Quiet on the set. And… action!"
