I don't understand translation much either, tbh. I am a newbie and still get it wrong a lot of the time, but I could never dispute the accuracy of horary. I've yet to see a radical chart be inaccurate. Those charts are so descriptive and easy to read--I have like 10 on file? It happens exactly as the chart says. It's jaw dropping. Tik was so right about looking at moon's last aspect--that's what sold horary for me. For example, one of my earlier horaries I cast, Moon's last aspect was a 6 degree opposition to the Sun, which ruled the 4th house. I realized 5-6 weeks before the horary was cast, I had left home for personal reasons. I was like how do they know that?!
