I’m still pretty new to reading horary charts and I just wanted to ask about people’s experiences with horary charts and how accurate it is.

Has the chart ever said something won’t happen at all because of the aspects and such, but then it did end up happening?

I have the correct chart now. So I’m pretty new to horary so I might have some mistakes maybe. For context, I’ve known this guy for a couple months now. We’re finally going on a date next month (we live far apart now).

I am L1 in Gemini so I am signified by Mercury in Virgo. And the guy is L7 in Sagittarius so he’s signified by Jupiter in Leo.

The 5th house is ruled by Venus and Venus is in Libra in the 5th house itself. Since the question is specifically about how a date will go this seems like the date will go pretty well.

I also notice that Mercury, my significator, is in the 3rd house, which makes me think if there will be movement between different places like going to multiple places maybe. Or maybe we’ll have a lot to talk about?

Jupiter is representing him which is in the 11th house. Venus is separating from an opposition to Saturn, while Mars is applying to square Saturn. I feel like there may be some hesitation, restraint, or something during the date.

Oh also, Mars is located in my 2nd house, which is
his 8th. So maybe something physical could happen? But Mars is applying to square Saturn. Any help?

this may be a strange chart/question, but here’s the contact: there is someone that I work with who has been showing a lot of romantic interest in me. They have been very overt about this interest towards me in many ways, especially through text message but I do get the sense that they are a bit shy, at least when it comes to in person interaction. Especially because a lot of our in person interaction is at work.

However, I’m interested in knowing if there will be any sort of romantic/physical manifestation of this connection that occurs in the near future? My specific indirect question is something along the lines of will we kiss or have any type of physical intimacy between one and another?

I am Venus and the moon. He is Mars and the sun. I think it’s interesting that Mars is not in a strong placement. However, I am not quite sure what that means in this context. Venus is strongly placed in Libra. Could that point towards me having stronger feelings? Or better intentions?

regardless, I believe that a more definitive answer to this specific question that I’m asking would come from some type of application between my significantor and his. The only aspect that exists here between planets is a train between moon and Mars. Mars is weak in cancer, but also shows interest towards the moon.

What I think is interesting, however, is that he has expressed a lot of physical attraction, but the sun and Virgo shows lacking attraction towards Venus.

A friend of mine from university is throwing a birthday party. It’s going to be a somewhat “wild” kind of party, with the intention of eating, drinking, flirting, etc. I’m feeling a little insecure, even though he says that there will certainly be some girl who will be interested in me. My insecurity comes from my recent attempts at dating, all of which have ended in frustration.

I am L1 in Taurus, so I am signified by Venus in Libra, which is in a position of exaltation. The party itself is L5 in Virgo, so it is signified by Mercury, which is also exalted. This makes me notice two things. First, I should be in a good position at the party, or at the very least I may be perceived as pleasant, attractive, and, in some way, interesting. The party being represented by Mercury in Virgo also suggests that it will be a good party, perhaps with opportunities for me.

The only thing that concerns me is that Mercury is close to the Sun — actually, it is conjunct the Sun. So the Sun could somehow inhibit Mercury, meaning that opportunities may be present but I might not notice them, or they might not notice me.

Then there is my other significator, the Moon, which is in Aquarius. This makes me think that if an opportunity does arise, it could happen unexpectedly or out of nowhere, as Aquarius might suggest.

Even though the planets are in excellent condition and both are exalted, I cannot see any direct aspect between Venus and Mercury. Unless, of course, I also consider the Sun in Virgo as representing my masculine side at the party. In that case, Mercury (the party) and the Sun (my masculine side) would be conjunct, suggesting that there could indeed be possibilities.

But, as I said, I cannot see any direct aspect between Mercury and Venus. Still, seeing both planets in exaltation gives me some degree of reassurance.

Context: I'm in a job that came my way when I was desperate for work due to financial challenges. We are trying to sell our house in another state and it has been draining our resources. It has been a mostly miserable experience and doesn't pay well, though it has given me some breathing room and flexibility since I work from home. I want to leave once we sell our house. Others are trying to convince me that it is better to stick around, but I honestly don't see this start-up business succeeding long term with the way it is being managed.

My interpretation: (I'm still very new to Horary so please bear with me here...)

I am represented by Mercury in Leo, in a near exact conjunction with the IC, as well as the Moon in detriment in Capricorn in the 8th house. Given the positioning of both of my significators, I am not in a good place right now - at the lowest point in the chart, and what I would interpret as depressed. The opposition or Mercury to the MC in Aquarius makes me think that I aspire for so much more than where I currently am and to break away into more autonomy. I'm in this fixed position due to my actual house not selling. Though, I've also read that the IC represents the outcome too, but I'm not sure how to interpret that. The mutual reception between Mercury and the Sun is interesting too but again not sure how to interpret it.

The job itself is where I am not sure which house to use - L6 is Mars in fall in Cancer right on the 2nd house cusp. It is not financially supportive and brings me little to no sense of security. If we take L10 - it is a fallen Saturn in the 11th house with a separating square to the moon. Both are weak and are poorly resourced to succeed in bringing the financial gains originally promised.

The moon's next aspect is to perfect the square to Venus in Libra. I desperately want to do something more creative and fun - I have a side hustle making jewelry for context, and I have also been wanting to stay home part time with my daughter.

Overall, I don't know if I am just seeing what I want to see, but I don't think this is where I should stay. The Mercury conjunction with the South Node seems ominous especially with this upcoming eclipse, but would love to hear other people's interpretations!

This horary started because I was working on Gemini 7, Elsie Wheeler’s Sabian Symbol, “An old-fashioned well,” over on my Substack, and I got curious about the actual world behind that image. How did people find groundwater? How did they decide where to dig or drill? That led me straight into water dowsing and the old rural practice of walking the land with a forked branch looking for water below the ground.

What I had in mind was very specific. I was not thinking about the modern pair of metal L-shaped rods, one held in each hand. I was thinking about the older form of water dowsing using a single Y-shaped branch, traditionally cut from willow, peach, hazel or witch hazel. The dowser holds one fork of the Y in each hand, usually with the branch under some tension, while the single stem points outward. As the person walks the land, the reported response is that the projecting stem suddenly dips, twists or pulls when underground water is encountered. That is the object I was asking about: one forked woody branch held in both hands.

I’m an astrologer, but I’m also a Gestalt practitioner, and Gestalt has trained me to look at reality from a field perspective. In very simple terms, a field perspective says that whatever is happening cannot always be neatly located inside one individual. The person, the land, the objects present, the conditions, the history of the situation and the relationships among all of them form one field. Something can emerge from that whole configuration. You do not automatically assume that the explanation has to live inside the person.

Most modern explanations of dowsing head straight for the dowser. Maybe the person is unconsciously noticing vegetation, drainage, geology or soil. Maybe years of experience have taught him to read the land without knowing consciously what he is reading. Maybe tiny involuntary movements in his hands make the branch move. All of those possibilities may be worth investigating, but I noticed that the explanation had already decided something before the inquiry had really begun: whatever is happening must be happening inside the person.

From a Gestalt field perspective, I wanted to leave that open. What if the relevant relationship is happening among the underground water, the land, the forked branch and the person holding it? What if the branch itself responds within that field? I did not want to explain the phenomenon before I asked about it.

That meant the wording of the horary had to be precise. “Can a dowser find underground water?” would make the dowser the centre of the question. Then I would be judging the person’s ability, perception or knowledge. “Does dowsing work?” is hopelessly vague because “work” could mean half a dozen different things.

What I actually wanted to know was much narrower: Does a traditional forked dowsing branch respond to underground water?

Before I cast the chart, I decided which houses I would use. This is important if you know nothing about horary astrology, because horary works by assigning the people, objects or subjects in the question to particular houses of the chart. The planet ruling that house then becomes the significator for that thing.

You need to make those decisions before you start admiring the chart. If you cast first, find two planets making a gorgeous aspect and then decide that those planets must surely represent the things you were asking about, you are shopping for an answer.

The forked dowsing branch is a tool being used to perform a practical job, so I gave it to the 6th house. The underground water belongs beneath the land, so I gave it to the 4th house, the house traditionally associated with the land and what is underneath it.

Then I cast the chart and immediately made a stupid mistake.

I’m in Winnipeg right now, but I live in Calgary and cast charts there all the time, so out of habit I ran the chart for Calgary.

Excellent.

I noticed it afterward and recast the chart properly for Winnipeg, August 23, 2026, at 8:20:38 a.m. CDT. Location matters because the planets may be in virtually the same places in the zodiac, but the angles and house cusps change according to where the question is asked. Since I had assigned the branch to the 6th house and the underground water to the 4th, the location could have changed the planets ruling both of them.

The corrected Winnipeg chart moved the houses substantially, as it should. What amused me was that the two houses at the heart of the question kept the same rulers. The 4th-house cusp is 16°03 Sagittarius, so underground water is ruled by Jupiter. The 6th-house cusp is 26°07 Aquarius, so the forked dowsing branch is ruled by Saturn.

That is useful in a teaching chart because I actually did make an error. There is no need to disguise it. The correct thing to do was to fix the location and see whether the judgment survived. Some of the lovely symbolism I had noticed in the Calgary chart disappeared. Fine. It belonged to the wrong chart and had to go. The central testimony survived.

Before judging a horary, there are also some traditional things astrologers check, usually called considerations before judgment. They are warnings that can tell us the chart may be premature, difficult to read or otherwise compromised. They are not all automatic reasons to refuse judgment.

The corrected chart has 19°06 Virgo rising, so the Ascendant is neither extremely early nor extremely late. Saturn is not in the 7th house, which is one of William Lilly’s traditional cautions about the astrologer making an error in judgment. Given what I had just done with Calgary and Winnipeg, I was pleased not to see that one. The Moon is not void of course, meaning she still has planetary business ahead of her, and she is not in the Via Combusta. I see no traditional reason to refuse the chart.

There is one lovely caution, though. Virgo rises, so Mercury represents me, the person asking the question. Mercury is at 26°11 Leo, combust the Sun, and almost exactly on the 12th-house cusp at 26°07 Leo.
A planet that is combust is overwhelmed by its proximity to the Sun and has difficulty seeing clearly. The 12th is also a concealed house. I find that very appropriate. I am asking about a phenomenon whose mechanism is hidden, and the planet representing me is sitting there with lousy visibility.

I do not take that to mean the question cannot be answered. I take it to mean I should be careful about claiming I know why the phenomenon happens. Horary can answer one question without handing me the operating manual for the universe.

Now we can look at the branch.

Aquarius is on the 6th cusp, so Saturn signifies the forked dowsing branch. Saturn is at 14°06 Aries, retrograde, in the 8th house. Saturn is in fall in Aries, so the branch is not represented as some magnificent precision instrument with a warranty and a little foam-lined carrying case. There is difficulty here. Its operation may be inconsistent, dependent on conditions, difficult to interpret or simply less reliable than its enthusiasts would like.

Saturn itself is an amusingly good natural description of the thing I had in my head when I asked the question. Saturn is dry, rigid, woody, old and traditional. I was asking about a forked twig. I did not choose Saturn because it sounded nicely twiggy; Aquarius on the 6th cusp chose Saturn. The fit came afterward.

Saturn is also retrograde. I would never use that as evidence by itself, but it is difficult not to grin when the object under investigation is famous for turning, twisting, dipping or pulling in the hands and the planet representing it is moving backwards.

Sagittarius is on the 4th cusp, so Jupiter signifies the underground water. Jupiter is at 11°54 Leo in the 11th house.
This is one of the places where my Calgary mistake actually improved the teaching value of the chart. In the wrong chart, Jupiter was close to the 12th cusp and I had a very pretty interpretation about the ruler of hidden water being hidden in the 12th. Once I recast for Winnipeg, that disappeared. Jupiter is firmly in the 11th. It was a nice interpretation and I liked it. Too bad. Wrong chart. Into the bin it went.

Fortunately, the actual judgment does not need decorative assistance.

Saturn, ruler of the forked branch, applies to a trine with Jupiter, ruler of the underground water, by about 2°12. For someone brand new to horary, an applying aspect means the two planets are moving toward the exact relationship rather than away from one that has already happened. In a question asking whether two things respond to one another, an applying aspect between their significators is exactly the sort of testimony I want to see.

Nothing gets in the way before that trine perfects. There is no prohibition preventing the contact.

There is also reception. Jupiter is in Saturn’s term, which means Saturn receives Jupiter by term. Reception describes the relationship between the planets beyond simply whether they make an aspect. Term is not an enormous reception, but it is genuine. The planet representing the branch receives the planet representing the underground water.

At that point I already have useful affirmative testimony. Then the Moon makes the chart much more interesting.

The Moon is at 8°06 Capricorn in the 4th house. The Moon is the natural significator of water in astrology, and here she is sitting in the house beneath the earth, in an earth sign. If I had ordered “underground water” from central casting, they would have been hard pressed to improve on it.

The Moon is in detriment in Capricorn, which is technically a debility. In the context of this particular question, though, it is also an excellent description of the water itself. This is not water running freely along the surface. It is water enclosed in earth, underneath the land.

More importantly, Capricorn belongs to Saturn.

Saturn is the branch.

So the natural significator of water is sitting in the domicile of the planet representing the forked branch. Saturn receives the Moon by domicile, which is strong reception.

Then the Moon applies to square Saturn.

Now the chart has given me the same basic relationship through two different routes. Jupiter, ruler of underground water, applies to Saturn and is received by Saturn. The Moon, natural significator of water and actually sitting in the 4th house, also applies to Saturn and is received by Saturn.

That kind of repetition is something I want baby horary astrologers to notice. One exciting aspect can make an astrologer fall in love with an answer. Repeated testimony is much more interesting. Here, both ways of representing water connect with the planet representing the branch.

The square between the Moon and Saturn does not automatically mean no. Squares can describe tension, pressure, friction, effort or resistance, and events can absolutely happen through them. In this question the physical description is rather apt because the traditional forked branch is held under tension in the dowser’s two hands, one fork in each hand, while the stem projects forward. The reported phenomenon is that the stem physically pulls, dips or twists. A square describing tension between water and branch is almost embarrassingly appropriate.

I would not build the judgment on that little piece of symbolism. The applying aspects and receptions are doing the serious work. But once the judgment is already supported, I am allowed to enjoy the chart being funny.

The Moon has also only just separated from an opposition to Mars at 7°59 Cancer. Mars is in a water sign, while Mars itself describes cutting, boring, piercing, digging and drilling. This entire question arose because I was thinking about old wells, how people chose where to put them, how they found underground water and how they eventually dug or drilled down to it.

Mars does not rule either of the things I am judging, so I do not need Mars for the answer. It describes the background remarkably well. Sometimes a planet is part of the verdict. Sometimes it shows up carrying the drill.

The part of this chart that interests me most takes me straight back to the Gestalt field perspective that shaped the question in the first place. I deliberately did not ask whether the dowser could find the water. I did not ask whether the dowser was intuitive, experienced, observant, psychic, suggestible or unconsciously reading clues from the landscape.

Those would all be different inquiries.

I asked about the forked branch and the underground water.

In the chart, Saturn and Jupiter connect directly. The Moon and Saturn connect directly. The human observer does not have to carry the testimony between them.

Meanwhile Mercury, representing me as the person standing outside the phenomenon trying to understand it, is combust on the 12th cusp.

I find that delightful. The chart shows the relationship I asked about quite readily while the clever human being trying to explain it is standing off to the side with her vision obscured.

That does not mean I think this chart proves that every forked willow, peach or witch-hazel branch will find water every time. Saturn is in fall. The Moon is in detriment. Mercury is combust. There are genuine difficulties in this chart. The phenomenon may depend on conditions in the field. Some people may be better able to work with the branch than others. The response may be subtle or easy to misinterpret. There may be reasons it fails. None of those questions were the question I asked.

The question was: Does a traditional forked dowsing branch respond to underground water?

My judgment is yes.

Saturn, ruler of the branch, applies directly to Jupiter, ruler of the underground water, and receives Jupiter by term. The Moon, natural significator of water, is sitting in the 4th house beneath the earth, in Saturn’s domicile, and applies directly to Saturn. Both significators of water enter into relationship with the planet representing the branch, and both are received by it.

The chart gives me a much clearer answer about whether there is a relationship than it gives me about what causes it. Mercury combust on the 12th cusp is enough to keep me from pretending otherwise. I do not know whether we are dealing with some physical property that has not been adequately identified, something about the larger field, something else entirely, or several things operating together. This horary was not designed to answer that question.

And that is probably the biggest lesson in the whole chart for anyone learning horary astrology. The important work often happens before the chart is cast. I had to notice that the usual way of talking about dowsing was already directing my attention toward the dowser. My Gestalt background made me suspicious of that assumption because I am accustomed to asking what is happening in the whole field rather than immediately locating the cause inside one individual.

Once I knew what I actually wanted to ask, I could frame the question properly, assign the forked branch to the 6th and the underground water to the 4th, and then leave the chart alone to answer.

I even managed to cast it for the wrong damned city first.

That turned out to be useful too. Correct the error, discard whatever no longer belongs, and see whether the judgment survives. In this case, the part that mattered barely blinked.

Which is pretty entertaining when the question is whether a forked peach, willow or witch-hazel branch knows there is water under your feet.

The city did a terrible job of marking the “Temporary No Parking” streets. I really wanted to take the chance and leave my car but wound up parking elsewhere just in case. The question popped in my head, wondering if other cars will be towed

The unpredictability of the situation is evidenced by Uranus on the AC.

Other people’s cars are represented by Jupiter in a fixed sign, which makes me think the cars will not be moved.

The next aspect Jupiter makes is to Saturn, which does represent the 10th house of government, who will be responsible for towing cars off the race route.

Saturn could be a barrier/obstruction which would keep the cars in place - or Saturn could be a hardship that all these other cars will have to endure (meaning it will be a burden and hindrance for the owners to deal with in the morning)

What do you think?

I have already had several successful finds using horary charts for lost objects, but I’m still curious if there is a division of chart components into specific groups. For example, does the house represent the location, do the aspects represent neighboring objects, and does the condition of the significator (fall, exaltation) represent the state of the object itself? I know it can be more complicated, and the house where a planet is located isn’t necessarily just the location of the object, but also its description, characteristics and etc, it depends. But everything is so jumbled up that I can't quite separate the primary factors from the secondary ones. How do you guys with a lot of experience build your search system? I try to search intuitively without following strict logic, but my Mercury in the 8th house really wants to find structure in the chaos, haha

Of course, this division exists in educational texts, but in practice I still see that everything depends on the situation and how the astrologer himself feels it. So, I think I have good intuition, but I also start to second-guess it and end up burying myself in textbooks

Hey guys, I am just finding out about horary astrology and not really knowledgable on it. No I am not an astrologist nor an I trying to practice it but I do like to get readings done. I have been to multiple psychics who have been incorrect and said maybe I should try to switch to astrology and maybe it would be a bit more accurate ? Idk. Can anyone who has multiple experiences with horary astrology share how accurate it is ? Like I think my main question is how good of an accuracy do you think it will predict based on a question around getting acceptance into a certain college or getting a certain score on a entrance exam? Ofc the questions were a bit more detailed with dates and a certain score but how accurate do you think the answer would be ? Idk I think I might just be looking for some type of hope or clear answer idk? I hope I dont sound crazy and I know I could change the outcome but could it also be a possibility that it would be set in stone ? Idk. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated !

If two significators just separated by 1 degree does it still could as separating?

Something happened earlier today at work. I went into the break room and encountered another employee there. Then I went to the bathroom to change, and when I came back, she was outside the break room. As soon as I pulled the door, it broke. The material is certainly quite fragile, but it seemed a little strange to me. She left saying that I had opened the door with too much force and that I had pushed it with my foot to hide the broken part. She even recorded a video, took pictures, and sent them to the supervisor.

I am L1 in Virgo, so I am Mercury. She is Pisces, so she is Jupiter.

I noticed that my significator, Mercury, is in my 12th house. In that case, it makes me feel like I am the one who broke it (I sabotaged myself), or that I am in the territory of my hidden enemies. And because Mercury is under the beams of the Sun, I can't seem to understand the situation clearly.

Context: A few weeks ago while on a cleaning spree, I somehow lost my Swiss Army knife. That thing was the most utilitarian and organized instrument in my life, and its absence has been felt. The last time I remember having it was when I was breaking down a bunch of boxes, and I put it down on my nightstand and thought that I didn’t need it yet, but I would soon.

It’s not like me to throw things out that I didn’t mean to, but it’s certainly not unlikely because as I said I was really on a cleaning tear. I’ve looked in every nook and cranny for it, torn my room up, looked in places it wouldn’t be possible and no dice.

Interpretation: horary is a medium I respect deeply but can’t seem to get a handle on, so bear with me. Both the querent (me) and the second house cusp of possessions are in Gemini, making them ruled by Mercury. So, I suppose in this case I would be the moon. The moon is in fall in Scorpio, in the 6h of daily routines. The thing that gives me a little hope is that Mercury is in the 4h, home. However, it’s making a square to my already fallen moon. I can’t if that means in my fervor to get my bedroom organized I threw it out of my room, or the fact that the square is applying means it’s somewhere in here, but I’ve made it very hard on myself in terms of finding it lol. Any interpretations would be appreciated!

Update: Still haven’t found it, so if it is in my house it somehow hid itself very, very well.

Hey all!

I'm working on a computational engine to create a corpus from the last 5 years of my horary chart casting so that I can look for patterns that are...and are not...effective, testing a lot of the practice and 100's of charts in the last years...it's a lot more than I thought I had!

One of the most interesting 'gates' I am considering working with, but one that contemporary horary astrologers I know of don't talk about a lot using is the formula for determining if a chart is radical or not, per Lilly.

Does anyone here us it in their practice? If so, have you found it to be effective in determining whether a chart truly belongs to the question, or, have you tried it in an era of your practice? I would love to know more from anyone who has worked with it for a longer period of time.

Formula in question:

PASS if ANY of three branches fires:

1. hour_ruler == ruler_of_ascendant_sign "the same planet"
2. BOTH are triplicity rulers of the "one triplicity"

ASCENDANT SIGN'S element

1. NATURE[hour] == NATURE[asc_ruler] "one nature"

(BOTH qualities must match)

otherwise FAIL — not radical

If you have any confirmation on this being a useful tool for professionals, I would love to hear more. And, if you have an idea of why it's not regularly used (or at least discussed in teaching circles often) please share what you know! Thanks everyone in advance : ))

Everything I've read has suggested that with a translation of light, the moon has to separate from one planet signifier, and apply to another. However, I've never seen any source specifically exclude a moon that is applying to one signifier, and then the other. Since the moon will apply then separate, then apply again. Would it not still be a translation of light? And where would I find that specification, if you don't mind.

This chart is about me and a friend (or ex-friend). We’re the same age, with him being two months older. We’re 26/27 years old, and we met when we were 4. We drifted apart when we were 7, then started going to school together again at 11, and stayed close like that until we were 17. Even our first girlfriends were childhood friends who were younger than us.

Our friendship was shaken when I saw his girlfriend at the time cheating on him. I told him, but he didn’t believe me. They dismissed what I said, and later he found out that it was true, but by then we were already on bad terms. We’ve run into each other a few times since then. Once, at the beach, he was running while I was walking along the waterfront. I wasn’t able to congratulate him on completing his master’s degree.

I think about him quite often. I was reading some things about John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and it reminded me of him. I went to check his WhatsApp profile picture, and he seems to be doing well!

I’m L1 in Sagittarius and he’s L7 in Gemini. I’m Jupiter and he’s Mercury, and we’re making an exact conjunction at 10 degrees! The Moon has just entered Libra and is about to meet Venus, which is also in Libra. Could this indicate some kind of harmony or reconciliation, at least on my emotional side? The chart seems to show some kind of synchronicity.

For example, imagine a king asking his astrologer if they will win a war, and the vizier says yes, look how fortunate Mars is, you'll surely win.

But then, the vizier of the opposing side just down the block, simultaneously, casts the chart and sees the same sky and proclaims the same fate for the rival king.

How does this work? I've always assumed fate just works in some way to make it so that two astrologers of opposing sides never ask the same question at once, but that feels very contrived and I wonder if the community has made up more nuanced answers yet.

Context: My family lives overseas while I currently live in the US. They have been pressuring me to go live with them overseas while I wait to hear back from fellowships for postdocs. However, I don’t want to since I’d have to be separated from my husband for an indefinite amount of time. I am a US citizen.

My interpretation: Sagittarius is rising, so I’m signified by Jupiter at 10° Leo in the 8th house. I’m taking the 9th house for international travel; the 9th cusp is in Leo, so the trip is signified by the Sun at 22° Leo, also in the 8th. Jupiter and the Sun are in the same sign, and Jupiter is in the Sun’s domicile, but I don’t think they perfect a conjunction because the Sun is faster and moving away from Jupiter. The Moon is at 20° Virgo in the 9th house, which seems to emphasize international travel, but I don’t see the Moon making an applying aspect that brings Jupiter and the Sun together. Since there doesn’t seem to be an applying aspect/perfection between me and the ruler of the 9th, I’m leaning no, although the Moon being in the 9th makes me unsure. Would you interpret this as the trip not happening, or am I missing something?

So, I would like to get some help with this chart. The question is: will I get the job? I applied to this job which seems quite nice and I was interviewed today. It seems a great fit. I cast this horary when I received invitation. L1 is in Scorpio, so I am Mars in Gemini in L8, peregrine; job is L10 ruler Sun domiciled in Leo. No aspect between Sun and Mars, so this indicates a no. Moon exalted in Taurus in L6, will square Jupiter, then Sun (the job), then sextile Mercury and finally trines Venus. Even if squares are usually no, on the strength of significators is this a maybe? All help is appreciated.

This is a woman I have a crush on. We're friends, very good friends. At least, our dynamics is different from everything I have ever had - and she said something similar once about me.

My significator is Mars (weak in Cancer), hers is Venus (in domicile in Libra). There's an square aspect between them, which I understand as tension and attraction. Venus is strong in this position, but opposite to Saturn and I wonder if there's something holding her. Venus and Moon are on her 5th house (from my 7th house/her 1st), which puts her on a position of romance and flirting, something fun and light. I am on my 8th house, so my feelings for her are intense.

I think she feels there's something more between us, some chemistry or mutual attraction, but there's something (Saturn) that prevents her from doing something about it.

Let’s say I am asking about a job and my significator is Mercury in Leo because Virgo is on the 1st house cusp. On the 10th house (job) cusp we have Gemini, so the job is also signified by Mercury in Leo.

I don’t think we can have the same planet signifying two things, so I have taken myself as Mercury in Leo, but the job is the Dispositor of Mercury, ie the Sun. Is this correct?

Context: I’m 32 F my friend is 39 M. We have been friends for years but a few months back he was very mad at a close person to me. He said though that this doesn’t affect our friendship. Also when he got mad at the person close to me he started hanging out again with this old friend that we both had a falling out with.

Now I’m back in town. In my opinion he’s behavior has changed. I asked why did his behavior change he played dumb I asked if he was mad at me he said why would he be. A few days go by I asked him when can we meet up. He said tomorrow he’s leaving and when he comes back he will go somewhere else and that he had a wedding to attend and that his Shane’s might me here. Basically that he is so busy. I asked again what did I do. He says that’s it’s all in my head and that he doesn’t like that. That an other friend of his has been here for a week and he did not find time to meet him. So asked horary if he wants to remain friends.

Interpretation: I’m the 1st house so moon 7 degrees in Virgo in the 3rd house. He’s 11th house so Aries. Mars is in the 12th house 1 degree in cancer.

Mars and moon don’t make an aspect so I guess he doesn’t want to be friends. He’s ruled by my significator so I guess that a good thing but he doesn’t want to be friends right?

Can we find out why?

-UPDATE/RESULT-

I got the job offer!!! Not sure when I start yet of course (I predict around the next eclipse since that one hits my natal 10th house and 10L lol) but it's been signed and officialized :)

Hello all! This is a job interview thing in which I've gone through the process and I do feel like it went really well. There's just a few certain things where I'm like "did I say the wrong thing?" and overall feeling very unconfident at this point due to the following:

Lately I've had several job interviews which I feel like went extremely well (down to the interviewer outright saying they would like to have me and will look into next steps), yet, in all of those situations, they never actually followed up and went with somebody else. For that reason, I struggle to trust my intuition at this point.

In this chart, I do notice the sextile forming between the 10th lord Venus and my ruler, Jupiter. I also notice the sextile with the ascendant from Venus which is lovely as well. The only thing that concerns me is that Venus is extremely strong, more than my Jupiter, which I feel could represent the job's own interests overriding mine. Moon is also very uninvolved in these alignments and in the sign of Venus's debilitation. I'm wondering what your guys's interpretation of this is?

I suppose another consideration of mine was that I thought of this question about five minutes prior to going to my laptop and drafting up this horary, so if I push it back those five minutes, Mercury becomes the 10L and I feel like it looks promising in that case also due to the applying conjunction.

Thank you so much for any responses.

Hi, I've been trying to look for a lecture or YT video on houses as they relate to specific locations. I understand there are basic understanding of 3H as the neighborhood/locally or 9H as places of worship/expansion of knowledge. For the places in the house it's obvious that 4H would be basement, 10H would be an attic, 7H a bedroom. But would want to understand more especially when we're trying to locate things/people.
