Horary Astrology Case Studies
by Diana Stone

|
|
by Diana Stone |

Horary astrology answers specific questions from a chart cast for the date, time and place the question was received by the astrologer.
The 22-year old Chart
One of my clients saw me a few times in the early ‘80s and on November 5, 1981 asked me the horary question featured in this month’s column. I gave her my answer and never saw her again until July 7, 2003, almost 22 years later! That is a long time to find out if I read it right. One of the frustrations of doing horary astrology is that the outcome is frequently unknown to the practitioner. I maintain a dead file and never throw away any client’s information. I dug into the files and sure enough there was hers with the old horary chart. When she came in for a consultation to update her current cycles, I quizzed her about the outcome of the relationship she had asked about. I’ll reveal the answer at the end of this article. When the consultation was over, I said, “See you again in 22 years!”
To answer some readers’ inquiries, I always calculate the chart using MY location. I regard horary as the astrologer’s art. There is no horary question until the astrologer hears or reads it. I feel on more solid theoretical ground doing it this way. Some astrologers use the location of the client. Whatever rules you embrace in horary, be consistent. Then we can assume that you hear the question when it is appropriate.
The first step in reading the chart is to identify the rulers of the querent, which is the person posing the question and is always represented by the ascendant and First House. Aquarius is rising with Pisces intercepted in the First House. I use both the old and the new rulers for Aquarius and Pisces. I do not agree that the new rulers are not primary rulers and tell nothing of a personal nature. I have dozens of charts to disprove that notion. Times change. People evolve. The new planets simply represent these new influences.
Saturn and Uranus rule the ascendant. The Moon in the First House makes it a significator as well. “Significators” is another word for rulers. Neptune and Jupiter rule Pisces. Remember, each significator has its own little piece of the story to tell. We just need to sort it all out. Now we have to determine what house(s) rules the person she is asking about. This is an extra-marital affair that prompts this question. So we need to identify the house that rules the other man
We have some choices. Sometimes I am not sure which house I want to use. In such cases , let the chart guide you. It will often point the way. The Seventh House rules relationships, but probably does not rule the other man. The Tenth House is fourth from the seventh, so it rules the outcome of relationships. (Every house has its fourth house of outcomes.) The Fifth House is the house of lovers, but this is a secret lover and that leads me to the Twelfth House. If I use the ruler of the Seventh House, it is in the Eighth. If I use the ruler of the intercepted sign, it is in the Eighth. If I use the Tenth House, its ruler is in the Eighth. If I use the Fifth House, its ruler is in the Eighth and if I use the ruler of the Twelfth House, its ruler is in the Eighth. Is this primarily a sexual relationship or what?
The via combust way is a section of the horoscope from 15 degrees Libra to 15 degrees of Scorpio. It points to unpredictable and upsetting conditions. Five planets are there. Her co-ruler Moon makes trines to the Eighth House but those are not good trines since these planets are having a bumpy ride in the Eighth House. The sex may be good but I doubt if this is happily ever after. It is the Moon’s last aspect that tells how the matter ends. (We allow the Moon to make all the exact Ptolemaic aspects from the sign it is in all the way to the end of the sign.) The Moon ends with a square to Uranus. Readers who are astrologers will agree that Uranus squares are separations or divorces. Case closed.
Uranus is in 29 degrees, an unfortunate degree indicating a person at the end of her rope and about to change. Frankly, I took one look at that and it was as far as I needed to go to decide about this chart. This is a chart that can be read in very short order. However, this is intended to be a teaching column so many of the chart factors are included for that reason.
Lets not lose sight of the fact that in actual practice, though, the skilled horary astrologer quickly identifies the appropriate houses and primary rulers and ignores much of the rest of the chart. I always admired Marc Edmund Jones’s book on horary astrology in which he approaches horary interpretations according to the principle of Occam’s Razor, or narrowing down something to its barest essentials. It is not a mark of skill to see how much you can dredge up after the answer is obvious; stay with the primary indicators only as is necessary to arrive at a definite conclusion. If that means adding Arabic parts, solstice points and other horoscopic indicators, all these are available to help if you need to go that far.
You might be curious about Venus, the planet of relationships, occupying one of the traditional critical degrees and in mutual reception with Saturn. If a planet is in mutual reception with another one, we can move it back into its own sign (keeping its original degree). If the planet’s position is strengthened, then there may be a way out of a problem. If Venus moves to zero degrees of Libra it is in even worse shape than it is now. It’s in critical degree in a relationship house, the seventh. Venus rules the Eighth House and tells us once again that this is no more than a sexual relationship without a future.
The Part of Marriage and the Part of Death are both in five degrees Libra in the Seventh House. I concluded that her marriage would not survive either. The marriage actually did end about two years later in 1983. Any planets in the same degree as the Moon’s nodes (ignore the sign, just look at the degrees) indicate some sort of catastrophe, however great or small. Pluto, Mercury and Jupiter are all in 25 degrees Libra. They square the nodes, so that bodes ill. However, these three are applying to the nodal degree and I have found that it indicates trouble ahead as well. The south node is in the Twelfth House, which works well to rule the secret lover and, of course, is a negative and draining influence. What about the close sextile to Neptune? I think she is kidding herself and living in fantasyland. Neptune and the Moon are her rulers and describe her.
So what did the client tell me about the outcome of this relationship 22 years later? “It went to s**t”, and I’m quoting here.
