HORARY
O N T HE
HOUR
During the day with both Sun and
Moon above the horizon there is more
chance of finding the missing objects as
there will be more visibility.
Ok great so I have a lot of accidental
dignity, sadly my significator the Moon
in Scorpio is in fall. When looking at the
essential debility of fall it is likened to
one who is bound and gagged in the cor-
ner of a room. In a way this makes sense
as I cannot see without them and am
far away from home where may spare
pair are, so I really need to find them! It
always fascinates me to see how well a
Horary chart will describe the Querent.
Next step is to find what the significa-
tor for the lost glasses is, so we look at
the second house cusp which is Leo, the
Sun rules Leo so the Sun is the significa-
tor of my glasses. This is perfect as we
know the Sun is the natural ruler of eyes
showing further testimony that we have
the correct significator.
Where are they, where is the Sun? The
Sun is posited in the fourth house of
home, so they must be with me in the
cottage…but where? I have looked every-
where and cannot find them.
So let’s look at this Sun, firstly it is in
the fixed water sign Scorpio so is near
water. As it’s a fixed water sign it could
be near my glass of water on my beside
table, it is not. The Sun is in the same
house as the Moon, me, so cannot be in
the bathroom or another room.
The Sun is one degree away from the
fifth house, the child or play room. That
could be the room next to mine as it
has double bed bunks in it for visitors
with children, but as it’s not in the fifth
house it cannot be in that room. The Sun
is nearly conjunct the fifth house cusp,
they must be near to a wall.
Now I look at what planet the Sun is
close to and see that it is Mercury, which
is in the same fixed water sign. What
could the fixed water and Mercury be
telling me? They are so close to my glass-
es in the same room in the same space!
Then it all begins to fall into place, I
took my computer out of my the cup-
board which I had hidden under some
clean spare towels. I left the chord in
the cupboard, perhaps I left my glasses
there as well.
On opening the cupboard I see the
chord and on the other side of the tow-
els near the wall of the next room in
the cottage I see my glasses. The towels
being an item of drying off water can be
described by Scorpio, fixed water.
If we want to look at timing we need
to take the fastest moving significator,
in this case the Moon, and take it to the
slower moving significator the Sun. The
Moon is 9 degrees 30 of Scorpio and the
Sun 18 degrees of Scorpio, it should take
me about nine units of time to find the
glasses. Here we can use logic, as they
are at home fixed and going nowhere I
should find them sooner than later. Nine
days is too long I would have left. In nine
hours I will be doing yoga at the venue
so it must be 9 minutes.
Watching the process, the Moon took
about six minutes as I was trying to think
this one through before remembering I
had them when I went to collect my lap-
top. I found the chord but could not see
the glasses.
I went back to the chart, sipped on
a cup of tea as I pondered the clues in
the chart , the glasses had to be close
to the chord and the wall, so off to the
cupboard again and felt along the back
wall of the cupboard the wall of the
next room.
I found them in just over 9 minutes,
very abstract yet perfectly clear as the
puzzle un ravelled. Horary astrology
can be very rewarding and exciting, it
takes practice to train your brain to
think along the lines of what the chart is
showing. But when it all comes together
it just works. R
