Astrology Signs Horary
March 8, 2009 – 9:29 pm
I received a request from an anxious person who was very interested in knowing when the delivery service for a number of (nice) products he was waiting for would arrive. The service people were then going to spend some time installing - the most important part of it all. He had eagerly been waiting on these for some time and got finally word that the service would arrive later that day. He’d been jacked around by them a bit before so he wanted to see if this was really the real deal this time. The chart was cast at the time I looked at and understood the question.
In horary astrology I always try to keep it as simple as possible. Sure you can concoct a really detailed and crazy story to fit in the aspects, the planets here and there, the receptions, and all the rest. And you will probably be incorrect too. I’ve been in that boat myself. It’s always a learning process. There’s no need to add a bunch of junk in there when it doesn’t apply to the question at hand.
I also love being very practical with astrology. There’s a ton of people that can wax poetic about personality and progressions. That’s cool and all. For me I get more mileage out of the traditional practice. With it there are so many helpful and tangible ways to use the chart to answer pertinent and relevant questions in people’s immediate life. That immediate feedback and knowledge is nice to have.
Back to the chart. Lord 1 the Sun is he asking the question. He’s in the 6th house of servants. He’s actually in the house of those he’s waiting on. That’s not the greatest start to see… He’s at their mercy and indeed has been since he’s been waiting patiently and then some. Plus look at reception…
Lord 6 Saturn is not anywhere close to the Ascendant. The people are in his service and will be doing work for him with the things that are arriving. So to me it’s a 6th house situation, not a 3rd house “waiting for a package” one. However, it is 3 degrees applying as a semisextile to the Asc as Saturn is retrograde. That’s a bit of a stretch for a “traditional” astro dude. The Moon is not making any aspects to either. Lord 1 and 6 aren’t connecting. Lord 6 isn’t coming to his house at House 4 either.
Yes the Moon is near a conjunction with Mars. Mars is Lord 10 here and no, these items don’t have anything to do with needs for his business. You could say that the POF and Pluto (I keep the outers in the chart most of the time to see what’s going on) so close together in the 5th doesn’t bode well either for an immediate delivery. This was more of a “fun” purchase set you could say. And no, there was no tracking info on these packages to find out that way.
I told him that I really didn’t think it would come that day. Not really what he wanted to hear. Asked for a guess, impatiently, as to when it might seriously get there, I took a very general option and said ( the only real stretch I could see then) 3 days. I called it that as the 3 degree Saturn connection with Asc seemed a bit grasping, but it was something, better than nothing I figured. It was a Friday too, so I figured give it the weekend and see if it all arrived Monday.
And that was what happened. In this case, the exact date I’m calling a lucky guess. The main point was seeing if the stuff would arrive on that Friday or not. And that question was answered properly as No. I’ve gotten timing wrong on a number of occasions, as that is much tricker in some instances to figure out days/weeks depending on question context. But this one worked out okay.
