What Miss Kitty wrote made me smile.:
anytime I tried to "time" my questions when I was first learning something always conspired to give me the correct answer anyway. Maybe if I were trying to avoid a VOC Moon, I would instead get Saturn in the 7th. Or trying to avoid the time when the ruler of a retrograde planet would come up would end up with me getting a combust significator... the point is that I never could fool the stars.
It's an important lesson when you are starting out with horary. The other point is that you should only ask a horary question
when there is a strong emotional investment in the question.
....not when you just happen to be having passing thoughts about something
and this is the most common type of question we see on here.
I've really tested this out too.
Some questions can be asked without the *panic factor*
--like where is the toaster?
But even these work better when you have emotional involvement. (Don't ask me
why this works-it just does).
This is also why I think a lot of charts yield wrong answers on here-the question shouldn't have been asked in the first place (but people get annoyed when you point that out, I've noticed and some read the chart anyway-which can be useful for practice but maybe not so good for our reputation as good horarists!)
Asking a question *will I ever....* will not work from my experience. If there's no guy/gal in the picture
at all, there's probably no point in asking about a potential relationship either.It will work when there's at least a *sighted known interest*though.Otherwise technically you're asking about something that doesnt even exist in the current frame.
This is only my view on the matter and because we often deal with different *gurus* in the horary Boards there's not always agreement, but maybe all roads lead to Rome?
