Astrologers in this Community
are allowed to practice a version of Horary
that includes the Outers, because Horary
is separated from the Traditional forum.
Most Hoarists don't use them, though.

If any Horary discussions were to occur on our Traditional Board
the use of outers is excluded

Actually, the 12th house connection might be the key to Tesla's insight. Without it, he might have been insignificant.

His uranus/neptune midpoint is conjunct north node in 12th house aries. North node, jupiter and 12th house ruler, mars, is conjunct the south node and influenced by libra moon. His nodal axis was focused on intuition and imagination for physical forces that most humans were completely oblivious to.

Once Tesla described the engineering work he was doing
Edison, though skeptical, hired him offered him $50,000
if he could improve upon the DC generation plants Edison favored.
Within a few months, Tesla informed the American inventor
that he had indeed improved upon Edison’s motors.
Edison, Tesla noted, refused to pay up.
“When you become a full-fledged American, you will appreciate an American joke,”
Edison told him.
Tesla promptly quit and took a job digging ditches.
But it wasn’t long before word got out that Tesla’s AC motor was worth investing in
and the Western Union Company put Tesla to work in a lab not far from Edison’s office
where he designed AC power systems that are still used around the world.
“The motors I built there,” Tesla said, “were exactly as I imagined them.
I made no attempt to improve the design
but merely reproduced the pictures as they appeared to my vision
and the operation was always as I expected.”
Tesla patented his AC motors and power systems
which were said to be the most valuable inventions since the telephone.
Soon, George Westinghouse, recognizing that Tesla’s designs might be just what he needed
in his efforts to unseat Edison’s DC current
licensed his patents for $60,000 in stocks and cash and royalties
based on how much electricity Westinghouse could sell.
Ultimately, he won the “War of the Currents,”
but at a steep cost in litigation and competition
for both Westinghouse and Edison’s General Electric Company.
Fearing ruin, Westinghouse begged Tesla for relief from the royalties Westinghouse agreed to.
“Your decision determines the fate of the Westinghouse Company,” he said.
Tesla, grateful to the man who had never tried to swindle him
tore up the royalty contract
walking away from millions in royalties :smile:
that he was already owed
and billions that would have accrued in the future.
He would have been one of the wealthiest men in the world
a titan of the Gilded Age.
Before the turn of the 20th century
Tesla had invented a powerful coil
that was capable of generating high voltages and frequencies
leading to new forms of light, such as neon and fluorescent
as well as X-rays.
Tesla also discovered that these coils, soon to be called “Tesla Coils,”
made it possible to send and receive radio signals.
He quickly filed for American patents in 1897
beating the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi to the punch
By the end of his brilliant and tortured life
the Serbian physicist, engineer and inventor Nikola Tesla
was penniless and living in a small New York City hotel room
Tesla died in 1943, in debt
although Westinghouse had been paying his room and board
at the hotel for years.

I just realized my best friend has a Leo sun, Cancer moon, Scorpio mars, and Uranus in Aquarius. Yet her Tarus AC speaks more for her personality than anything else.
