Hi Blandy.
Okay, I know the strictures about asking the same questions, or similar questions that will result in certain outcomes, but what I was wondering if it was okay to ask multiple questions during the same moon phase at the same time. As well, is it okay to ask different questions(without similar outcomes) about the same topic like person, thing, possessions ect.
It is perfectly acceptable, and in fact proper, that when other questions arise about a topic that you have cast a horoscope upon, you answer these questions from the same chart, provided of course that these other questions are relevant to the same line of inquiry and have come to mind as a result of pondering the original question.
For example, imagine that a person has stolen something from you, but you have no idea who. So you draw what conclusions that you can from the twelfth cusp of the 'covert enemy' in the horary.
Having done this, you are more equipped to ponder the possibilities as to who stole the item from you, and the next day, your mind latches onto one person in particular, and as we have a suspect, we now find them in the seventh house of the 'overt enemy' and if the symbolism of the significator matches up to your suspect, you've probably caught them.
There is no need in this case to cast a second chart the following day, because on the first day you thought, '
Who has stolen from me?', and on the second day you thought, 'Did
John steal from me?', and because as the second question pertains directly to the first, it is not necessary to cast a second chart.
See? Can you think of an example?
Keep it simple.
I wanted to say also, that you shouldn't be feeling the need to be asking loads of horary questions within a Moon's cycle. There are probably only three or four times a year in a person's life that a horary
really needs to be asked, if that. Of course, we will all ask questions that are a little less pressing, but don't ask trivia, which if you are wondering how many questions you can squeeze into a month, you definately are doing.
If you ask only those questions that really do need to be asked, you will find it a rare occasion you need to consult a horary in the first place, and your question in the original post wouldn't be necessary. It is not so much a plea for divine assitance, but more a test of God's power, which is perverse, and certainly not conductive to our highest good. Astrology is infused with divinity, the two cannot be separated, and there is no argument against this that cannot be easily dislodged.
This brings me back to my point of questions that
need to be asked. It isn't a matter of whether we
can answer a trivial question or not, of course we can, but the matter of whether the question
should be asked is the priority. This is respect for the divine. We must be in awe of the Powers That Be which operate over us, not treat them like a deck of Tarot cards to be whipped out and bandied about every time you want to abdicate responsibility for your own life, by not having to search, not having to do, not having to work, not having to accept, not having to think etc. etc. because I am sure that the omnipotent force that keeps the system spinning did not intend that for us, and I believe the greater your respect for astrology, the greater your rewards.
I have heard horary rubbished by astrologers (who really, ought to know much better), as 'fortune telling', but this is because they either know little about horary, or they have succumbed to the popular misconception that astrology is to be utilised at the disposal of our whim, and not a holy, living embodiment of the divine that our questions are to be subjected to with reverance. It is we that are the subjects of the stars, not vice-versa.
The ultimate and absolute cause of astrology's decline from it's glory days, is that today, it is completely devoid of spirituality and a recognition of it's utilisation as a consultation with divine agency, and this is more true in horary than any branch.
No matter how much the spirituality of a 'higher energy' of a 'New Age' is optimistically promoted by our Chiron-ethusiastic friends, the anti-spirituality of their line of thought is demonstrated by the fact that they declare that we can discover a rock, pull a random name out of a hat and then expect it's symbolic qualities to follow suit (but what the symbolic qualities of 131-27X and JohnSmith are I have no idea, but perhaps this is why they are convieniently swept under the carpet). Like I said, astrology shapes us, we do not shape astrology. We are the subjects not the objects.
(When I inquired on three different occasions on one of these boards as to what the astrological qualities of all the satellites, space-stations and telescopes are up there, some considerably more sizeable that all these bits of rock which are floating about, and which have a considerably more tangible connection with humanity, some of which actually
reflect the Sun's light, none of these posts elicited any responses. Well, I never!).
We need to respect the divine power that astrology demonstrates, and having a good think about what we are asking and why, is part of observing this necessity, if we did so, questions such as this would not need be asked.
Sorry for wittering on, but your question tapped into something I have been thinking a lot about lately.
