I recently entered a poetry competition (last week) and the results will be announced by the end of February. Winning would bring a generous profit (enabling me, among other things, to apply for a Masters degree after I graduate) as well as recognition for my work (writing is what I want to do). My question is: Will I win first place in this poetry competition? (there are three places).
Based on my very limited knowledge of horary I see that the querent's significator Mercury is in the tenth house applying to a conjunction with Venus (maybe indicating the nature of the work - intellectual Mercury, artistic Venus) and this is itself a favourable sign of public honours. The ruler of the fifth house (competition) is Jupiter which makes no aspect to querent's significator and only a minor one to the Moon, though the Moon joys in the third house and is in Cancer, separating from an opposition with Sun (the judges?). Though if the judges are represented by Saturn (ruler of seventh) the significator applies to a sextile. This is good.
Mercury is just leaving the ninth house (winning means publication) while Sun remains there separating from opposition to Moon - which is either a bad sign, or because separating indicates the last-minute nature of my submission - day before deadline ?).
'Opponents' represented by Jupiter which is rx and poorly aspected. What might its placement in the fourth house Sagittarius signify?
Ruler the tenth house Saturn well received by Mercury and Venus.
Again, my knowledge of horary is amateurish and unstudied so any help would be very useful. There's nothing conclusive I can draw from it at this stage. Also I'm probably biased in my interpretation because I lack any substantial knowledge. (Think I'm going to take up horary next summer after I graduate, so if you could clearly indicate how you've drawn your conclusions I would be grateful!)
The competition is illustrious and the likelihood of someone my age winning is slim, but I'd like to know what the chart says.
