[QUOTE="dr. farr, post: 237365, member: 12947"] Remember in the experimental 8 Ball method there is not specific planetary or even sign evaluation at all! It is a purely mechnical method: if the significator sign is ruled by a "benefic" (sun, mercury, venus, jupiter) the 8 Ball says "yes" (nothing else is considered); if that sign is ruled by a "malefic" (saturn, mars) OR if the south node is in that sign (regardless of planetary ruler) the 8 Ball says "No" (if the signifying sign is Cancer, ruled by the Moon, the answer is 'maybe'-however, at the present time the Dragon's Tail is in Cancer so whenever Cancer is signifying sign the answer is "No" according to 8 Ball "rules") So in experimenting with the 8 Ball even the most rudimentary interpretive methods of horary are disregarded. This purely mechanical, ultra-simplistic technique is the main reason why I never tested it out in the many years I have known about this method: it just seemed too simple-when compared with other horary methods-to "work". How could something so simple be reliable and yield accurate results above chance, in a field so difficult as that of horary? So I never even thought to test such a simplistic method. A few months ago, here on AW, I decided to put it to the test (mostly by known result horaries posted in the horary forums) fully expecting to quickly be shown that its results are no better than chance-my name for it "Magic 8 Ball"-was given to it as a ridiculing name! (like the toy magic 8 balls you can buy in novelty stores) So far, however, I have been rather shocked in the results of the running-account I have been keeping of results (22 correct, 4 wrong, known-result predictions-that's 84% accuracy SO FAR) However, I STILL think that over a larger sample of cases this method will fall to chance (50/50) because I continue to resist the idea that horary could be done, accurately (even at a much lower accuracy rate like 66%) by such a child's play simplistic method like the Magic 8 Ball. But I am not a dogmatist-experiment, when it can be done (as it can here) shows what's likely and reliable, and what isn't so likely or reliable. So I shall be continuing to experiment with the 8 Ball-by the time I have recorded its accuracy through 100 known result horaries, publicly posted here on AW, I'll see what the results are-I don't think I'll be startled by the results (becuase I still thing they'll fall to 50/50), but who knows?
