However, it is a late ascendant, which traditionally means we should set this chart aside as corrupted. There are times when horary questions should not be asked and safeguards are there to give warnings of those times. A late ascendant is one such safeguard.
I don't know where you got that, but it is wrong. If you got it from another web-site, then you might want to Google "How to block idiot web-sites that are full of bogus info."
There is no tradition in Horary Astrology that says a late Ascendant corrupts a chart and that it should be set aside.
What do you mean the ascendant is too late to ask a question? How is my chart "corrupted" and what are "safeguards"?
A Late Ascendant is a warning to the astrologer to help with delineation of the chart. It bears two meanings: first, that whatever happened happened --- or, what's done is done, and second you probably know the answer, but you are asking out of desperation, fear or for one of a dozen other reasons that are all related.
Having said that, there is an issue of whether or not your chart is Radical.
If this chart is not Radical, then it is corrupt and cannot be read.
Whether or not a chart is Radical is a function of the Hour Ruler. Just eye-balling the data sheet, it looks like Sun would be the Hour Ruler in this chart, and if so, then this chart may not be Radical.
Notwithstanding if the chart is Radical or not, I will comment -- for the sake of learning and discussion --- but not read your chart.
A few months ago I had a really weird dream that my boyfriend was at a restaurant with another girl and the girl was pregnant by him. I know a dream is not proof enough to say he's cheating on me or not, but it raises my suspicion. Could my dream be trying to tell me something? Or has my paranoia of losing him to another women become an irrational fear? At this point in time, I don't know what to think. All I know is I need clarity from this situation or possibly from him...
Your chart raises several issues related to House Systems and Signs, and also to the assignment of Houses for the Topic.
One way to approach this chart is to treat the Horary as dream interpretation.
For dream interpretation, we use the Angles, and the 9th and 3rd Houses
and no others. In fact, if no Planets are in the Angles or the 3rd or 9th, then the dream is false.
The 9th House has Saturn. Saturn symbolizes Fear. The source of that Fear is the Houses Saturn rules, which are the 12th, 1st, and note Aquarius as the 2nd Sign intercepted in the 1st.
The Querent fears for loss, fears for her own self (as it relates to loss), and intercepted Aquarius hints of financial impact from the loss in some way.
There are no Planets in the 10th, 1st, 3rd, or 4th Houses, but Moon and Venus occupy the 7th House.
Since Moon rules the 7th, it signifies another person, and the Moon in general signifies water, liquids, people who work around water or liquids, alcoholic beverages, taverns, bars and saloons, women and quite a few other things.
Venus symbolizes women, plus all things Venutian, which includes public venues such as restaurants and eateries.
That's fairly representative of Querent's dream, but with the majority of Planets in the 5th and 6th Houses, this dream would be false.
From the standpoint of Signs, Virgo is the 9th Sign, with no Planets there; Libra the 10th Sign with none, Capricorn, Pisces and Aries the 1st, 3rd and 4th Signs all empty.
However, there are 3 Planets in the 7th Sign, namely, Sun, Mercury and Jupiter. Sun does signify men, brothers and especially husbands and boyfriends, and both Mercury and Jupiter represent children, but it would be a bit of stretch to relate that to Querent's dream. Not that it matters, since the majority of Planets in the 6th, 8th and 11th Signs show the dream to be false.
Anyway, here is a case where the use of an House System provided a more accurate delineation than using Signs.
The second way to approach this chart is to take the true question as, "
Is my boyfriend a father?"
In that case we look to Scorpio, which trines his Cancer Ascendant and is the true House of [his] Children. We find Mars ruling Scorpio in Gemini which is actually his 12th Sign -- no matter how you slice it, Gemini is in aversion to both Capricorn and Cancer.
The 12th Sign/House Gemini is an House of Fear, as well as an House of Loss
or Separation and also of those things Hidden.
We note that Moon has separated from Venus by 4° in Leo, indicating something that happened 4 months ago.
We note that Moon/Venus are Succeedent, indicating something that is on-going.
We note that Gemini Mars is seeking to join Jupiter....a significator of Children.....in Cancer -- and eventually will in 5° -- hinting that his girlfriend is 4 months pregnant and his child will come into the world in 5 months.
Note that Mars will change Signs from an House of Ending to an House of Beginning(s). Child birth is separation/loss, at least from the womb (which is hidden -- and note that Scorpio also denotes reproductive organs).
His girlfriend would be his 7th House --- the 1st House of the chart -- making Saturn as her significator as well, and Saturn is in his 5th Sign of Children.
In the chart, the 5th Sign is actually the 4th House of Family, Home etc.
Her 5th Sign/House of Children is Taurus, with ruler Venus where?
In her 8th Sign/House of Childbirth.
This raises the issue of Triplicity Rulers. Ptolemy says Mars is
the Triplicity Ruler for Scorpio, but Dorotheus says Venus is the Day Ruler and Mars the Night Ruler with Moon participating.
Anyway, according to Dorotheus, Mars is the 2nd Triplicity Ruler here, and would function as co-significator for the girlfriend. Again, note that Mars is in the 12th Sign/House and rules his House of Children, and she--Saturn--is in his House of Children.
One final thing, it is Sun that rules his girlfriend's 8th House of Childbirth, and Sun is in his House.....Sun is also his secondary significator, and either way, that is not good.
The chart hints she might be someone he's known for a long time, maybe from high school or university, and is probably an old girl-friend. The chart points at something that happened about 4 months ago.
Anyway, those are the possible approaches to delineation, and this is an interesting chart, notwithstanding the fact that the Sun is the Hour Ruler and the chart may not be Radical (because of the issue with Sun, not the Late Ascendant).
