Looking at the horary chart in retrospect (within the perspective of the alternative horary method I mostly follow, and using whole sign houses)
-certainly querent = 1st house = Scorpio = Mars
-and, querent's "work place" would = the 10th house = Leo = Sun
-question (for me) is, what house represents the quesited (the friend)??
a) one could take the 11th house for the friend (I think I would have done so, and horary methodology over the past 700 years would have indicated that this should be done!): 11th house = Virgo which = Mercury: now, in the chart Mercury flows away from workplace significator Sun, and also from querent significator, Mars: these would have been - testimonies (in the Ankara horary method), and I would have probably been led to give a "no" answer, which would have proved to be incorrect, since the friend was hired
b) HOWEVER, the Ankara method-following the almost universal earlier (prior to the 11th century) practice of nearly always using the 7th house for ANY "other person" (not present at the time of the horary question)-also allows such a generic use of the 7th house to be made: now, IF the 7th house is used for the friend (the friend being simply considered here as a "generic other"), we find Taurus on the 7th, which = Venus as quesited's significator: in the chart, Venus flows TOWARD both the Sun (workplace significator) and Mars (the querent), which would = + testimonies, and, had I followed the "7th house for all others" (generic 7th) practice of the very early horary practitioners (see, for example, al-Biruni's "Elements"), these + testimonies would have led me to making a correct "yes" answer (yes the friend would work with the querent)
