Horary astrology is an ancient branch of horoscopic astrology by which an astrologer attempts to answer a question by constructing a horoscope for the exact time and place at which the question was received and understood by the astrologer.

In the previous centuries this issue did not create any problems as the astrologer would consult with the querent face to face. These days the querent could be in Africa and send an email with the question to an astrologer in Australia. Hence, it is neccessary to emphasize the point.

The answer might be a simple yes or no, but is generally more complex with insights into, for example, the motives of the questioner, the motives of others involved in the matter, and the options available to him.

History

Horary astrology has been practiced for centuries in India known as Prasna Shastra (Sanskrit prasna = question). India, officially the Republic of India (भारत गणराज्य inc-Latn Bhārat Gaṇarājya; see also other Indian languages) is a country Horary astrology is an ancient branch of Horoscopic astrology by which an astrologer attempts to answer a question by constructing a Horoscope for the exact time It is a branch of Vedic astrology which is still widely used across the Indian subcontinent.

The more advanced form is the Astamangalam Prasna and Deva Prasna methods of Kerala. Kerala ( Malayalam: {{Kerala in Malayalam}}; The state of Kerala, in India, is famous even today for its traditional use of horary astrology.

The English astrologer William Lilly (1602-81) was the last major horary astrologer, and probably the best-known horary practitioner in history. William Lilly ( May 1 ( OS)/ May 11 ( NS) 1602 – June 9, 1681) was a famed English Astrologer His book Christian Astrology is in print and widely used in the modern day practice of horary astrology. Today, horary astrology is still used much more in the United Kingdom, with medium popularity remaining in America, Germany, France, and the other Western European nations.

Approach

Horary astrology has its own strict system. The position of and aspects to the moon are of prime importance. In Astrology, an aspect is an Angle the planets make to each other in the horoscope and also to the ascendant midheaven descendant and nadir The person asking the question, or querent, is represented by the ruler of the sign the first house cusp falls on in the horoscope. In Astrology, a planet's domicile (or less commonly house, not to be confused with the astrological house system) is the zodiac sign over which it Astrological signs represent twelve equal segments or divisions of the Zodiac. Most horoscopic traditions of astrology systems divide the Horoscope into a number (usually twelve of houses whose positions depend on time and location rather In Astrology, a cusp (from the Latin for spear or point is the imaginary line that separates a sign in the Zodiac or a house in the Planetary aspects to the house cusps are considered more important than in other branches of astrology (although it is the planetary rulers of the houses in question that take precedent in analysis). Other key elements used in horary astrology include the lunar nodes, the planetary antiscia, and the Arabic parts. The lunar nodes are the Orbital nodes of the Moon, that is the points where the orbit of the Moon crosses the Ecliptic (which is the apparent In Astrology, the antiscion (pl antiscia is considered to be the mirror image or shadow of a planet based upon a line of reference which is the axis of 0 Cancer/0 Capricorn In Astrology, the Arabian/Arabic parts or lots are constructed points based on mathematical calculations of three horoscopic entities such as

Typically, a horary chart is read by first assigning the thing asked about, the quesited, to a particular house in the chart. For instance, asking "Where is my lost dog?" would be represented by the sixth house, as it is the house that governs small animals (traditionally, smaller than a goat). In Astrology, a cadent house is the last house of each Quadrant of the zodiac The house cusp of the sixth house will be in a particular sign, for example Libra. Libra is the seventh Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Libra. Libra is ruled by Venus, so Venus is considered the significator of the lost dog. Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what a planet is. Venus's state in the horoscope (its dignity, aspects, etc. ) will give clues to the animal's location.

Interpretation

Fundamental to horary astrology is the concept of planetary dignity and reception. In Astrology, essential dignity is the strength of a Planet or point's Zodiac position weighed by only that position by sign and degree or its Dignity comes in two forms, essential and accidental. In Astrology, essential dignity is the strength of a Planet or point's Zodiac position weighed by only that position by sign and degree or its In Astrology, accidental dignity occurs when a Planet or other celestial body is posited in a house of its natural rulership. Essential refers to the quality of a planet at a particular degree of the zodiac and its ability to express its true/good nature. For instance, a horoscope is drawn and Mars is in Scorpio. Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what a planet is. Scorpio is the eighth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Scorpius. Using traditional rulerships, Mars here is in its own sign, so it is considered essentially strong; a well-behaved Mars. Mars in Taurus, on the other hand, is in its detriment, so is essentially weak. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. In Astrology, a Celestial body is said to be in detriment when it is posited in the zodiac sign opposite the sign it rules (over which it has In a horary question where Mars is a significator, Mars's essential dignity will indicate something of the quality of the quesited. In Astrology, essential dignity is the strength of a Planet or point's Zodiac position weighed by only that position by sign and degree or its Accidental dignity refers to how the planet "finds itself". In Astrology, accidental dignity occurs when a Planet or other celestial body is posited in a house of its natural rulership. That is, if the [[planet is in a traditionally bad house (6th, 8th, or 12th) in the chart, if it is retrograde]], aspected by a malefic planet (Saturn or Mars), combust, etc, then it is considered an accidental debility. In Astrology, a cadent house is the last house of each Quadrant of the zodiac Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what a planet is. Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what a planet is. Other uses Combustion is a common noun whose verb form is combust or Heliacal Setting "Combustion" occurs

As a metaphor, consider an actor who breaks his leg on opening night; essential good, accidentally debilitated. The converse is true. A planet in poor essential dignity may have considerable accidental power. Taking the earlier example of Mars, if Mars was in Scorpio, and in an angular house in the horary chart (1st, 7th, 10th, 4th) then it is considered accidentally as well as essentially strong. In Astrology, an angular house is one of four cardinal houses of the horoscope which are the houses in which the angles of the chart are found It has quality, and power to act, to express.

Reception refers to how each planet in a horary question chart "view" or "receive'" each other, either favourably, unfavourably, or somewhere in between. If Mars is in Taurus, and Venus is in Scorpio, then each of the planets is in the sign the other planet rules. Taurus is the second Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Taurus. Planets in astrology have a meaning different from the modern astronomical understanding of what a planet is. Scorpio is the eighth Astrological sign in the Zodiac, originating from the constellation of Scorpius. (Venus is ruler of Taurus, Mars of Scorpio). This is called mutual reception by rulership, and although each planet is in its detriment, it nevertheless receives the other planet favourably. In Astrology, mutual reception is a concept where two planets are placed in each other's signs of rulership In some horary questions, a thorough understanding of receptions (and the above example skims the surface of this topic) is required to delineate the interplay of how the various significators view each other what sort of attitudes are taking place in the area of the question.
