Horary test: why the chart didn't work? Comments welcome
As me and another person discussed in private the answer to this horary question is no.
I am signified by Saturn, the other person is signified by the Moon. Saturn is in his first turned house. At the same time is detrimented and combust. It is opposed by Neptune, a modern malefic. I cannot see clearly this situation, and am totally powerless.
The Moon is in my first house, applying a conjunction to Uranus, a modern malefic. It applies an opposition to Mars, a malefic. The guy is somehow not really at ease.
Any communication is ruled by Venus, lord of the third house. Now, Venus is in the seventh house: any communication would come from him, not from me.
There is no aspect between my significator, Saturn, and Venus - messages. There is no aspect between Saturn and the Moon. So the answer is: no.
This morning I received an email in which I was asked out.
The hypotheses on why the chart in the end worked are the following:
1. Collection of light is when a faster moving body separes from a slower moving one, but both apply to a yet slower body (Lehman: 41)
In this case, Jupiter is aspecting both Saturn and the Moon. Saturn is anyway heavier than Jupiter. So this does not look too convincing.
2. Mercury, natural ruler of communication, was VOC. As soon as Mercury ceased being VOC, the message could be sent. In fact, as Mercury enters Leo, it is in the terms and faces of Saturn.
3. The Moon - his significator - is received by Venus (the message) by exaltation.
Comments are welcome,
