Horary Rules PDF
RADICAL CHART -
1. Hour ruler in same triplicity as Ascendant or Ascendant ruler.
2. Hour ruler has same nature as Ascendant or Ascendant ruler.
3. Hour ruler rules Ascendant's triplicity.
4. Hour ruler = Ascendant ruler.
5. Hour ruler in strong aspect to Ascendant ruler or to the Moon.
If the chart is not radical, then Bonatus says that the question may not
be sincere or that the querent is trying to trick, fool or test you. It
may be best to dismiss the question under the circumstances.
WARNING - Saturn in the 1st house obstructs the matter and damages the
question, and if RETROGRADE, he destroys it (the matter seldom works
out). Saturn in the 1st house can delay any action as well. Be careful
not to upset the querent.
CAUTION - When the 7th house cusp is afflicted OR its ruler impedited,
then the astrologer's judgment will not please anyone. This is for
questions not pertaining to a 7th house matter.
A RETROGRADE significator shows a person who will not reveal his nature
entirely. He has much that he keeps to himself. "There is more than
meets the eye" as regards whatever it is that the planet stands for. The
retrograde condition also discloses that at the time the question was
asked, the person was very likely ill. If it is a place or a thing that
is asked about rather than a person or animal, then that place or thing
is in poor condition, rundown and requiring care and attention, and the
more so if the significator is in the sign of its DETRIMENT. A
retrograde malefic frequently describes an unfortunate person of that
house who has been rejected, sent away or denied acceptance into the
circle and who cannot take part in the matter now under consideration.
MERCURY RETROGRADE in the chart means that there will be a change in the
plan or matter will be postponed and there will be a change of mind in
some important part, price or name for you to take into consideration.
If Mercury is DIRECT IN MOTION NOW, but WILL TURN RETROGRADE in a
few
days, then there may be a decision to drop the matter. Mercury's
aspect, good or bad, to the Ascendant tells you whether or not he will
work for or against the querent by his retrograde motion.
PEREGRINE PLANETS -
A PEREGRINE planet represents someone who is roving, aimless or
pointless in the matter inquired about. He is a wanderer, off-base,
without any say in the matter and not dependable. According to Lilly,
"a peregrine planet is malicious beyond expression".
INTERCEPTED PLANETS -
An INTERCEPTED planet indicates interference and something or someone
hemmed in.
MUTUAL RECEPTION -
When a significator is in mutual reception with another planet, you may
treat it as having exchange status with that planet. In other words,
you may consider it as though it were back in its own sign where its
present degree places it (keep the same degree). This gives the person
represented great leeway in the matter or a way out of whatever
situation he finds himself in. Showing the planet where it would thus
fall in the chart after exchange reveals the department where the person
signified would better himself if he chose to go there. If the
significator is RETROGRADE, then he may not really want to make any
change at the time. Mutual reception means that the significator gains
an advantage thereby through an outside person and can get out of what
he got into IF HE WISHES. He may obtain his release, escape a penalty,
complete a deal, regain his former standing, and "get back to normal".
A FIXED sign on the Ascendant shows something that has already taken
root and is established. The matter is already under way at the time of
asking. Fixed signs on all four angles shows sure development. There is
no stopping the matter.
Mixed signs on the Angles show a matter that begins according to the
quality of the sign on the Ascendant and continues according to the
quality of the sign on the Midheaven. A mixed-cross chart has
intercepted signs, signifying interference that is accounted for by the
house where the rulers are.
MISCELLANEOUS TIDBITS -
A querent's or quesited's SIGNIFICATOR WHO IS WEAK BY SIGN OR
AFFLICTED
BY MALEFICS is unfortunate and insecure in the matter at hand and is
unprepared to handle it now.
A RETROGRADE malefic in the 12th house and ruling the 12th house shows
that the person is the keeper of a dread secret.
The Moon in a COMMON sign and in a CADENT house will not land where she
planned, either at her intended destination or in finishing the matter.
Something unexpected occurs. If the Moon rules the person, then he is
not where he said he would be, nor at the place he had in mind.
If the Moon aspects a malefic planet on the 6th house cusp, then the
person may be upset or sickened because of receiving the very
information he requested. Any planet afflicting the 6th house can
represent infirmity.
Neptune CONJUNCT the Ascendant might indicate that the querent was not
totally informed about something or is being deceived.
If both querent and quesited are ruled by the same planet, then take the
Moon for the querent's significator. The quesited is thus at a
disadvantage and insecure. If the Moon is VOID OF COURSE, then the
querent will not press his advantage and nothing will come of the
matter.
DEFINITIONS -
TRANSLATION OF LIGHT - When two significators are separating from
aspect (ideally a conjunction, sextile or trine) so that they are out of
contact, only a 3rd planet faster than they and earlier in degree can
reunite them, by applying to each of them in turn. It is then a 3rd
person entering voluntarily to translate the light or restore contact
between the two and perfect the matter for them. Translation is most
effective when the Sun or Moon is involved. NOTE: in translation, the
translator planet must be the fastest planet. If not, then look to see
if the scenario is prohibition. Also, in translation, the two planets
have already separated. In translation, the significator from which the
faster planet separates should receive the translating planet in one of
its essential dignities (the faster planet must start out in a segment
of the zodiac governed by the 1st significator so that it can carry the
light of the 1st significator with it to the 2nd one). The translating
planet may not make an aspect with any other planet before it aspects
the 2nd significator.
COLLECTION OF LIGHT - When the two significators have not been in aspect
and are therefore like strangers, but each applies to the same 3rd
planet that is slower than either of them and whose degree is later than
theirs, that 3rd planet is a 3rd person to whom they both can turn,
someone willing to "collect their light" and represent them both.
Collection is most effective when the Sun or Moon is involved. NOTE: the
collector must be the slowest planet, else the scenario could end up
being frustration. The two fastest moving planets must never meet by
themselves. If they will, then it can't be collection, but it may then
be frustration. Both faster planets should receive the slowest planet in
one of his essential dignities.
Any missing article will be in the home or, if not a domestic article,
where it should be, if the Moon, 2-ruler, and/or Venus is in an angular
house. If 2-ruler is itself angular, the missing thing will be found
more easily; if succedent, it should or must be looked for and will not
be so easily found; if cadent, it is out of sight and only indirectly
found.
PLACES DESCRIBED BY THE PLANETS, SIGNS, and HOUSES -
PLANETS represent the thing asked about and describe it.
SIGNS describe the place it is in.
The ELEMENT of the sign tells you where to look for it.
AIR - denote the highlands, highest part of the house or HIGH in a room.
WEST.
WATER - near a faucet, sink, washbowl or tub, near plumbing lines. LOW
in a room. NORTH.
ANGULAR HOUSES - in the home or in the part where the person generally
works with such things or suspects it may be found. Can be easily
reached.
SUCCEDENT HOUSES - it is not in the house, but not far away. Perhaps in
the garden or yard or in buildings close by and not out of range.
DIRECTIONS -
The planet representing the querent or the person or thing inquired
about is the significator. Where you find that planet by HOUSE and SIGN,
there will you find the person or thing you are seeking.
HOUSE DIR. HOUSE DIR. HOUSE DIR. HOUSE DIR.

The distance between the querent and his lost possession that is shown
to be away from home is the difference in degrees between 1-ruler and 2-
ruler multiplied by 2 if the Moon is in a CARDINAL sign or multiplied by
0.5 if the Moon is in a COMMON sign or multiplied by 0.25 if the Moon is
in a FIXED sign. This gives the distance in miles.
Cancer appears on both the 1st and 2nd house cusps, so to find the
distance between the querent and his lost possession that is shown to be
away from home, take the difference in degrees between the Moon and 2-
ruler multiplied by 2 if the Moon is in a CARDINAL sign or multiplied by
0.5 if the Moon is in a COMMON sign or multiplied by 0.25 if the Moon is
in a FIXED sign. This gives the distance in miles.
Timing may also be judged by the house and sign the applying
significator is in OR by the Moon's aspect to the significator OR by the
actual distance beteewn the ruler of the matter inquired about and the
ruler of its end-of-the-matter 4th house.
Combine QUALITY of sign significator is in with TYPE of house it is in.
TIMING OF PAST EVENT - Take the difference in degrees between the Moon
and the planet the Moon last passed over, ignoring the signs. This is
the time. The Moon, by house and sign position, tells you the time unit
to use. Use chart above.
SUN - Rules whatever is genuine and rare, one of its kind, the work of a
great master, large and showy structures, mansions and palatial
edifices, great halls, theaters and pleasure resorts, gambling and
sports clubs, showboats, towers and minarets, impressive villas and
castles set on cliffs. The Sun rules whatever is constructed
magnificently and gives pride of ownership and pleasure, and is easy to
see from afar. Property ruled by the Sun is large, showy and more or
less costly. The Sun increases the value of whatever is represented by
the house he rules or is in. The Sun also increases the assets of the
department he is in and they are traceable to the preceding house whose
substance it is. The Sun gives pride where found.
MOON - Rules nursey equipment, laundry and bathroom furnishings,
household linens, water vehicles, articles of sentimental value, places
of residence such as the home, a hotel, motel, apartment house,
houseboat, trailer, stop-over sites, parking-places, lodges, restrooms,
nests, the womb, the grave, aquariums, all docking places, seaports,
beaches, docks, wharfs, piers, boat-houses, and all kinds of boats and
ships.
VENUS - Rules useful articles that are also beautiful, all stringed
musical instruments, places catering to ease and entertainment, social
centers, ballrooms, restaurants, outdoor cafes, public gardens, beauty
salons, bedrooms, dressing rooms, shops where fine commodities are sold
over the counter, and barber shops. Venus beautifies exteriors and
purifies interiors, protects finishes, polishes surfaces, increases the
value of, develops charm, ambience, refinement, and elegance of whatever
is enquired about.
GEMINI - Rules hilly and high places, areas reached on foot and west by
south in direction, usually requiring a climb, the loft in a barn, the
mail box, storehouses, posters, billboards, street and direction signs,
weather vanes, signals, traffic lights, and detour signs. Indoors,
Gemini rules the stairway and upstairs rooms, escalators and ladderways,
a study, school room, playroom, telephone booth, reading and corner.
Gemini suggests the upper part of a room or piece of furniture, a trunk,
chest of drawers, filing cabinet or storage receptacle or desk. Gemini
suggests the west wall, following a meandering line.
CANCER - Rules reservoirs, wells, cisterns, fountains, pools, marshes,
ditches, moats, canals, water-ways, run-offs, rivers and their banks,
lakes, ponds, running water, hydrants and plumbing lines. Its direction
is NORTH. Indoors, Cancer represents the kitchen, cellar, laundry, sinks
and pumps, and plumbing lines. Follow an irregular line toward the
north wall of the house or room where the planet lies.
LEO - Rules parks, playgrounds, the front yard and the parking strip
that is decoratively planted to enhance the appearance of the property
or street. Leo rules forests, reservations, jungles, animal preserves,
lairs, dens, deserts, places that are high, rocky, stepp or hard to
reach, forts and natural sites serving as fortresses. Indoors, Leo
rules the main hall, living room, playroom, cardroom, dining room, music
room, den, fireplace and picture windows. Leo represents the east wall
in a room and up where you would have to reach for what is being sought.
Usually there is a lack of orderliness or periods of great disorder
giving a "jungle" effect.
CAPRICORN - Rules abandoned places and slum areas, woods and deserts,
barren fields and those lying fallow, mines and wells, neglected farms,
mountain peaks and crags. Indoors, Capricorn represents places for
storage of farm tools and lumber, low roofs, dark ceilings, sparsely
furnished or uncomfortable rooms, belongings that are worn and old, dark
corners near the ground or floor where something may be easily lost or
mislaid. Capricorn suggests the south wall of the room and following a
crooked line.
AQUARIUS - Rules ground that has been changed in character or reclaimed
in some way. The ground may be near transportation facilities or new
buildings where modern methods or scientific research is going on.
Indoors, Aquarius rules modern architecture, built-in devices and
equipment, and barely comfortable furnishings. Go northwest.
PISCES - Rules ground that is lower and suitable for religious orders
such as monasteries, convents, retreats, hermitages and missions
intended to advance religion. Pisces also rules secluded ground that is
low and susceptible to sinkage and flooding, standing water, perhaps a
beach or bayou or swamp where waterfowl frequent and where fish are
found. Plants are more likely to be lush and parasitic. Indoors, Pisces
rules low ceilings, cold or damp floors, rooms in which water or other
fluids are available and where medicine is under lock and key or
otherwise inaccessible, smaller rooms, and adequately or bare minimumly
furnished rooms. Its direction is northwest.
The 1st house relates primarily to the querent and describes his
appearance, health, and state of mind at the time he asks a question. It
answers questions for himself about birth, accidents, ventures and
adventures, new enterprises and the beginning of anything personal that
involves himself. Besides the body of the person, the 1st house also
represents the body of any vehicle enroute anywhere and carrying cargo
or passengers. The ruler of the Ascendant tells about the querent or
the vehicle, as the question may be, in a specific way at the time.
ANY PLANET IN THE 1st HOUSE will have a bearing on the matter inquired
about, and its nature will be reflected in the querent or any other
first house person he asks about. Benefics mitigate any difficulty, and
protect or encourage the querent. Malefics upset the health and mind as
well as the business in hand or any vehicle, the more so if afflicted,
retrograde, or badly placed by sign and not changed by mutual reception.
If the SIGNIFICATOR OF THE QUERENT IS IN THE 1st HOUSE, then this gives
him first place in the matter and power over his own affairs. If the
significator is afflicted or intercepted there, then the person is also
afflicted, interfered with and sometimes refused a voice in the case.
If retrograde, he holds back or warily bides his time. Usually he is
not too well, and may not really want to get out of his predicament even
if a mutual reception would permit him to do so.
The 4th house rules land, houses, your roots, hidden treasure, mislaid
articles, domestic affairs, inheritances, farms, wells, mines, property,
graves, the father, mother-in-law, family, farmer, gardener, jurymen,
grave-diggers, builders, ranchers and miners.
The 5th house rules banquets, bars, taverns, plays, community property,
speculation, betting, pregnancy, children, pregnant women, messengers,
speculators, gamblers, and entertainers.
The 6th house rules sickness (quality and cause), disease (long or
short), distress, voluntary labor, civil service work, animal husbandry,
caretaking, uncles and aunts from father, tenants, farmers, employees,
inferiors, lodgers, pets, small animals, nurses, dentists, healers, and
those in civil service.
The 8th house rules the estate of the deceased, wills, legacies, dowry
of the wife, death (quality and nature), alimony, gifts, fees, tips,
taxes, escrows, debts, bankruptcy, losses, injury, surgery, the heir of
the deceased, the Grim Reaper, pall bearers, coroners, undertakers,
surgeons, and tax collectors.
The 9th house rules voyages, foreign countries and interests, visions,
dreams, books, learning, absent persons, legal issues, education, long
journeys, ceremonies, rituals, legalizing, publishing, science, parades,
education, religion, the clergy, religious men, in-laws, strangers,
aliens, travelers, explorers, insurance adjusters, publishers, and
grandchildren.
The 10th house rules honor, preferment, dignity, career, profession,
kingdoms, authority, fate, fame, notoriety, business, employment,
credit, reputation, conviction, execution, the mother, kings,
presidents, judges, employers, guardians, rulers, superiors,
professionals, and executives.
