Horary astrology consultation

Horary question

What is horary astrology?

Horary astrology is a branch of traditional astrology that gives clear, precise answers to specific questions. The chart is cast for the moment the astrologer receives and understands the question, and judged by the rules of the tradition.

I trained at the School of Traditional Astrology (STA) in London, and I offer horary consultations.

The Querent is he or she that propounds the question, and desires resolution: the Quesited is he or she, or the thing sought and enquired after.

When any Question is propounded, the Signe ascending and his Lord are alwayes given unto him or her that asks the question.

William Lilly, Christian Astrology, London, 1647, p. 123.

E dizen los Indios e los de Feryz e los de Babilonna que las questiones son puestas sobre la uoluntat del demandador e dizen assi que las significationes de las questiones se desacuerdan segund el camiamiento de la uoluntat del demandador en las horas.

The Indians, the Persians and the Babylonians say that questions rest on the will of the querent, and that what they signify changes as that will changes from one hour to another.

How to ask your question

The question

A clear question.

Be clear and specific: Avoid broad or abstract questions: ask something precise, and describe the situation you want to look into. Tip: phrase it as a question, ending with a question mark. For example: ‘Will my ex-partner and I get back together in the next three months?’
Ask it only once: Don’t put the same question to tarot or another oracle, or to another astrologer.
Give a timeframe: If you are asking about a sale, for example, say by when: ‘within the next three months’.

The context

Plenty of context. The more detail you give, the more accurate and useful the answer.

Relationships: Say who the person is (e.g. partner, friend, colleague) and how things stand between you now.
Health: Describe the problem and the relevant details: how long you have had it, and whether you have been diagnosed or are having treatment.
Work: Say whether it is a recent job offer, an application you are waiting to hear about, or some other specific circumstance.
