I recently calculated this chart because I wanted to know that something I did would influence the outcome of a situation. I can’t really publish any absolute details, but the following chart was calculated:

Horary 2008-08-21

I use Regiomontanus for horaries, as well as only classical planets.

So how is it interpreted?
The question has something to do with ‘an authority of mine knowing the answer to a question’. When I thought of the question, I decided that I was going to use the 3rd of the 10th house. “Communication of the Authority”. Later on, I found the answer in another corner of this Horary, but for now let’s establish the significators.

My significators are Jupiter R, Moon, since if the astrologer asks a question him/herself they will fall into the first house, which is ruled by Saggitarius in this case and of course you’ll know Saggitarius is ruled by Jupiter.

The significatiors for the question are Venus, Mars and Mercury. Venus we derive by looking at the sign of the cusp of the 10th house, which is Libra (and is ruled by Venus). Mars we derive by looking at the 3rd of the 10th house, which is the 12th. Mercury is the natural subject ruler and thus a cosignificator of the question.

Before we start interpreting, I might mention that I’ve found that a good indicator of the right planets is usually also found by looking at ‘which planets fall into the same degree as the nodes’. Often, when this is the case, they will confirm they are the right planets as significators.

We can see a conjunction applying from Mercury to Venus, which is something very positive. To me that says the authority knows the answer to the question. Whether I’ll be happy about it (in the long run) I don’t know, my own significator is Retrograde. The advice: lay back and see, but it could also mean ones position is weak. Perhaps it is both.

The moon is making great aspects, so I won’t have to worry about that.

Mars is an odd one. There are no major aspects, minor aspects also don’t come up with anything. This was initially the starting point of my investigation (ruler 3rd of the 10th = 12). I can only come up with one thing: Mercury is going to come up with the answer, which may mean it’s an aided answer.

I’ve also looked at some fixed stars, luckily there were only good things to report there as well. My significator Jupiter is connected to Ascella (a beneficial star). The moon is connected to Al Pherg, another beneficial star. I have not found any information on Kelb Alrai, the star connected in parallel to Mercury.

My conclusion is that for the short term, we’re definitely alright, though I may not be happy with the answer in the long run. Secondly, the answer that’s going to come from “the authority” in this case, may be aided/guided by a second party. This could very well make sense.
