(Disclaimer: following is a long forgotten ultra-simple "MAGIC 8 BALL"* method of astrological divination anciently practiced by the Walis, a once renowned group of Arabic astrologers greatly despised by Al-Biruni! I learned of this method decades ago but have never put it to the test; if no one minds, I'd like to test it on this Board)
Experimental Walis Magic 8 Ball method:
-first, determine the house signifying the question {must be only 1 house};
- second, find the sign on the cusp (or sensitive degree) of that house;
-third, what planet (of the traditional 7 planets) rules that sign?
Answer to the horary question is according to the following criteria:
+If Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter is the planet ruling that sign, this = a "yes" answer (or a positive/benefic answer) to the question
+ If Mars or Saturn is the planet ruling that sign, this = a "no" answer (or a negative/malefic answer) to the question
+ If the Moon rules that sign, this = a "maybe/"can't tell/undecided " answer to the question
Exception: If the Dragon's Tail (South Node) is posited in the sign on the signifying house, this always = a "no" answer to the question, regardless of which planet rules that sign.
*My designation for this method. This method only applies to yes/no questions, does not provide explanations, does not provide guidance, insight, etc. I've never tested this method because it seems just too simple to work.
I AM NOT PROMOTING THIS METHOD, but I would like to test it out on several yes/no questions here on AW to see whether or not it is a reliable predictive method.
