A horary about a work decision

Curious as I am about horary astrology I pondered whether I had made a correct decision just recently. The exact details can’t be disclosed but “Did I make the right decision about something work related?” will be enough for you to follow.

The chart that was calculated:

A horary about work decisions

A horary about work decisions

Own signficators: Moon, Mars
Topic significators: Mercury, Saturn.
Involved party significator: Venus, Sun, Mercury, Mars.
In nodal degree: Moon.

What immediately stands out is the amount of objects involved. I’m usually careful to pass judgement when the lot of the chart is involved because to me that’s a pollution regarding the answer. However, when there’s good ingoing aspects I’m inclined to consider. The chart to me is definitely radical. As Saturn is my Work and the Moon signifies myself I think I’m on the right track since the Moon is trining Saturn very soon. However, Jupiter is aspecting the Moon first when it comes to completing the question! There is to be some form of communication from those signified by Venus; which suits what I already know perfectly. Venus, who is not aspected that smoothly! From the 7th house, it is the 3rd (communication): Jupiter as ruler of Saggitarius. A few minutes after I calculated this chart, I had gotten this news. I have no other conclusion to make then whatever the Moon/Jupiter conjunction might be, it will soon be resolved by the Saturn/Moon trine. Two degrees ago, there was also the Moon/Sun sextile, another indication that this decision would be the best possible thing to do at the time. Likewise to the Mars/Saturn sextile.

The big question in this chart is the Sun. It’s significator for a party involved, but I could say exactly the same thing to include it as one of my own significators. The sixth house cusp is Leo. Real conclusive answers could have only been given if this significator would belong to one or the other.

While it’s hard to differentiate between mine and thine, whatever I decided will come to a positive conlusion pretty soon when looking at the Moon’s aspects. By Jove, what do I have to expect from you? There are some notes about Jupiter I’m withholding.

The Moon is with the fixed star Ascella “Good judgement” and “Good fortune”.

Edit: the time has now passed enough to look back at this chart and compare the outcome with the prognoses. The decision was indeed best, but the aspect Moon makes to Jupiter actually seemed to coincide with something that needed to be cleared first before the work could continue. “By Jove, what do I have to expect from you?” was the right hunch.

The only problem is, the Moon’s approach to Jupiter took 3 days. That’s also plus minus the number of degrees for the aspect to become exact. When you look carefully there’s another aspect the Moon will make to a significator before it leaves it’s sign. It’s Mercury at 28 degrees. If you can take a day for a degree in this chart, the Moon/Mercury square is going to be exact plus/minus 16 days from the 3rd of November on the 17th or 18th of November. I know this date to be an important ‘continuation’ of this question. Should I become worried now? I honestly don’t know. Seeing it makes me uneasy though.

A horary chart to share

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

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.
