What Dymock says on Hororary?

Hororary Charts answer specific questions. Whenever an issue of some significance arises in your life, and you have been pondering your best course of action, make a note of the date and the exact time and set up a Chart for the location where you are at the moment. This will mostly of course be your place of residence but it could also occur when you are travelling.

The basic rules are—

1. The Ascendant Ruler and the Moon represent the questioner (you, or somebody else who asks the question).
2. The person, thing or issue you are enquiring about is represented by the Ruler of the appropriate House, for example:
   • 7th House for spouse, partner or another person not in any special relationship to you. Opponents and competitors.
   • 5th House for a child or lover, 11th for a friend or client.
   • 4th/10th House for a parent or boss.
   • 3rd House for short trips and moving house.
   • 8th House for money from others, pensions, government grants, etc. 2nd House for earnings.
   • 4th/7th Houses for changing residence.
   • 10th House for a question re your career and job.
   • 9th House for tertiary education or travel. Foreign parts and people.
   • 2nd House for an article lost.
   • 6th House for illness, 8th for surgery, 12th for hospitalization.
3. Planets in the Houses concerned are also important, especially if close to the Cusp.
   
   You can see that the Houses follow their standard meanings. Aspects between the Rulers or occupiers of the Houses concerned show the answer. A trine or sextile gives a favourable outcome, an opposition or square an adverse issue, difficulty and struggle. Conjunctions can be either, depending on other factors, but mostly favourable when linked to Jupiter and Venus, unfavourable when linked to Mars or Saturn.
   
   Additional significators that help interpretation are the planets themselves: Sun and Saturn for the father: Moon and Venus for the mother: Mercury for children and small items: Moon for the home and family, Jupiter and Venus for luck and good fortune: Mars, Saturn, Uranus for accidents; Neptune both joy and disappointment; Pluto both destruction and resurrection.
   
   The Moon's function is especially important. Its applying Aspects indicate things to come, its separating Aspects represent what has already happened.
