In horary astrology, houses represent the subjects of the question: - 1st house - the querent (person asking) - 7th house - the quesited (person/thing asked about) - 10th house - career, authority, outcome - 4th house - home, property, endings AstroWay supports all house systems used in horary practice, with Regiomontanus being the traditional choice.
Traditional dignity analysis is crucial for horary: - Domicile, exaltation, triplicity, term, face - Detriment and fall - Mutual reception between planets - Peregrine status Planetary sect (diurnal/nocturnal) and phase (oriental/occidental) are also displayed for traditional analysis.
The Moon's void-of-course status is critical in horary: - Automatically detected and displayed - Shows when the Moon last made an aspect - Shows when the Moon will next change sign - A void Moon often indicates "nothing will come of the matter" Moon data is always prominent in horary charts for quick reference.
Horary astrology answers a specific question based on the chart drawn for the moment the astrologer understood the question. The querent's date of birth is not required at all.
The question should be one, specific, and truly meaningful. Abstract or verification questions are traditionally considered unsuitable, and the chart is usually not read for them.
The card is checked for suitability before the reading. Classic disqualifiers: Ascendant in the first 3 or last 27 degrees of a sign, Moon in Sagittarius according to some authors, Saturn in the 1st or 7th house.
This is not superstition, but a filter: early degree means the situation has not yet matured, late degree means it is already too late to resolve. A chart with striking aspects is best not judged and revisited later.
The querent is represented by the ruler of the 1st house; the subject of the question is represented by the ruler of the corresponding house: the 7th for a partner, the 2nd for money, the 10th for work, and the 4th for real estate.
The Moon acts as an additional significator of the querent, and its recent aspects indicate how the situation is developing. It is through the Moon that answers about timing most often arrive.
A positive response is given when significators converge in an applying aspect before either changes sign. Lack of an aspect typically means no.
They also consider the prohibition when the third planet manages to form an aspect earlier, and the transfer of light when a fast planet carries an aspect between two slow planets. These configurations reverse the answer.
Duration is calculated based on the number of degrees to the exact aspect, converted into time units depending on the angularity of the planets and the mobility of the signs. Cardinal signs yield fast durations, fixed signs yield slow ones.
The method is not universal: it works well on closed yes/no questions and poorly on questions about meaning or choosing from many options. Classic astrology advises against judging medical or fatal questions.
