No the 8 Ball is not horary, it is astro-divination, and does not trump horary or anything else; so far in my experiments, regarding yes/no answers (the only kind of questions the 8 Ball can address, whereas horary can explain why in addition to giving an answer) the 8 Ball method has been running @ 81% accuracy, which is amazingly high for such a simplistic and mechancial divinatory method; however I am not yet ready to come to a conclusion regarding the 8 Ball as a divination method, still need a minimum 100 test cases for that (although I am now up to 91, here on AW)
-one does not need an either/or outlook; yes I trust primary Ankara horary much more than the 8 Ball divination method: however a very good way to improve accuracy in such readings, is by the 3 testaments method (where the 8 Ball testimony is contrasted with horary testimony and simple lunar divination, and the net testimonies considered regarding a likely answer) In all cases, a totality of testimonies should be considered in coming to a prognostication-especially regarding actual horary (in contradistiction to a divinatory method such as the 8 Ball)
-regarding employment questions I have little doubt that the Lot of Employers is the most specific primary quesited significator, over and above using either the 6th or 10th house
-even though it is now a post-facto delineation, lets see what Primnary Ankara horary would have delineated regarding the original horary chart question (I would have taken the Lot of Employers as primary quesited and the 6th house as secondary quesited; however our of deference to the beliefs of the OP I will take the 10th whole sign house as primary quesited significator and exclude consideration of the Lot of Employers)
-querent = Leo = Sun
-employment = 10th house = Taurus = Venus
-significators Sun and Venus are posited in the sign of the South Node, Sun actually flows toward conjunction with the SN within 3 degrees (therefore is in conjunction with the SN) and Venus retrogrades back toward the South Node = strong - testimonies
-employment significator Venus retrogrades away from the Part of Fortune = - testimony
-in addition to being conjunct the South Node, querent significator Sun is in a pitted (blocked) degree of Gemini = - testimony
-Venus (job) retrogrades back toward querent (Sun) = + testimony
Results:
Positive = +1 testimony
Negative = -3 testimonies
Net = -2 testimonies
...with a net -2 testimonies I would not have considered the original horary chart, as delineated by Primary Ankara horary, to have been a positive answer at all...
