How can you find missing people or lost objects with Astrology? There must be much reasoning and intuition involved beyond a chart, or how is it?
Hi Haizea. Indeed, in horary, as well as in natal actually, but not as necessary, intuition I think, plays a very strong part. Sometimes one planet is assigned to two different people or things. Say, you are the Moon as co-significator of the 1st house, this same moon is also used as a timing device and also showing us how a situation will develop by following the last aspects of the Moon before she leaves her sign. So you have to mentally switch from person, to time, to story development using the same plannet. So with timing, you have some rules, like angular, succedent and cadent places of the planets , as well as them being fixed, mutable or cardinal.
But sometimes that does not work. Following these rules strictly, you are given years, whilst you actually realize that that is not realistic in that particular question. So then your intuition comes in.
Or which planet to take for the wife, Saturn? or Venus. When she is cheated on, most likely Saturn, but if you see a good aspect between the 7th house ruler and Venus, it could also be Venus. Or you take the 1st house ruler and only give the Moon to the Querent or vice versa, depending how much focus there is on that wife .Your intuition will tell you which one.
Thanks everyone. When one becomes somewhat experienced, how long does it take to interpret a horary chart to arrive at an answer?
When you are fanatic, like I am
then you can get quite good results after about half a year, but just starting out, following the rules ArcherGirl has put up for newcomers in the Education Board (have a look there) can already give you very much insight. Just go step for step, you will see, it works. Just know a few important things, like with the aspects. Always ONLY look at
ingoing and
outgoing, because in horary there are no exact aspects. Ingoing means "still to happen", outgoing shows that something lies in the past and thus can mean a NO answer.
