Horary Results

The winners get their answers and the losers get some answers too, as Muqita covers some of the issues raised by our many querents.

The word "horary" in astrology is derived from the word "hour", because the timing of the question or its hour is used to draw a chart that is then analysed for the answer.

However, there's a limit to the type of answers that are available in this branch of astrology. The more specific the question, the better.

What not to ask
"Where do you see my life going" and "what does 2006 hold for me" are examples of questions that are too broad for horary. The answers are more readily available in the astrological birth chart. A competent astrologer would be able to cover psychological factors and reasons for why you might be indecisive, depressed, unlucky in love or have an unhappy family life. Unlike horary, this type of reading requires your birth date, birth place and birth time.

And here's another thing
Not every astrologer knows how to glean the answer to "what is my true purpose in life" from the birth chart, because this involves interpreting mathematical points known as Arabian Parts. This is a time consuming practice that fell into disuse centuries ago, despite the fact that nowadays we might profit from such a reading.

Back to horary
Horary does not require birth data. This is helpful to those who are unsure of their birth time. Even if the horary astrologer receives a question from Los Angeles by email, accuracy is not lost. The chart is drawn for the exact minute that the astrologer receives and understands the question.

Some of its uses
Horary astrologers practising overseas are often employed by the police to help locate missing persons, stolen items and criminals. Unfortunately, it is of no help to those wishing to win a lottery, but it has been successful in identifying the winners of sporting contests and the ups and downs of financial commodities.

Don't confuse sun signs with the real thing
The sun-sign astrology columns that appear in newspapers and magazines are a poor representation of astrology's accuracy and capabilities. These columns are mostly for entertainment and their generalised content should be taken lightly.

The meaning of life
Since astrology deals with the Lesser Mysteries, we must look to a spiritual or mystical source for guidance on general questions such as, "what is the meaning of life". To this end, our travelling mystic Steven Henson has agreed to address the matter in a forthcoming article.

Now for the winners
All at Harmonious Living agree that because so many excellent questions were entered in the competition, the selection process was the toughest ever. Here are the results:

Should I leave my job, buy into a new franchise and set up shop 5 months before my wedding?
L. Ambrose

It appears to be too late in the sense that you already have your answer, you've gone ahead or you encountered an obstacle that brought a change of mind. If any of these possibilities took place, you're now in the know and should ignore the following.

But assuming your question still stands, further analysis suggests problems with its purchase. It may bring regret and there's a vague, hidden air of deception, confusion or fogginess associated with it. Moreover, the chart suggests you exaggerate the financial benefit of this franchise. It seems more profitable to a partner.

A wedding is something of a business in itself. Your question implies that you are a little anxious at the thought of taking on more than you can handle at such a crucial time.

Despite this mounting evidence against such a venture, there does seem to be some profit in it. If you go ahead, make sure you're covered financially for disappointments along the way. Much as your current job isn't that great, it has definite advantages and at least it's yours until you're over the wedding jitters. Once you're settled, you can reassess this particular franchise in the cold light of day.

To summarise, it's clear that change is in the air and this chart certainly tells a story. What will make a positive difference is your thorough analysis of the viability of this particular franchise, reading the small print before handing over your money and making sure financial support is available not only during the initial stages but also in the event of a downturn later on. In the beginning, your profits will depend on your ability to take the initiative; just make sure you're signing up for work you find enjoyable.

How close am I to settling down and having a family and any idea when?
R. Yates

Marriage seems imminent and ideal if you already have someone in mind with whom to share this adventure. Your intended seems equally eager to settle into family life and a pregnancy may occur within the year.

But if you don't have anyone special in your life at the moment, then this horary has another answer for you. It suggests an event may put you in touch with someone in under six months. She will be of good medium height, well-built with straight, dark hair. Although you lose your heart to her, she seems more interested in your financial prospects and she may agree to marriage for biological reasons, rather than any real affection for you.

Despite these initial negatives, marriage to this person may well be a great success. But if you decide not to go ahead in this instance, prospects for eventually settling down and having a family remain good. In fact, a large family is indicated and your hopes in the matter should be realised before three or four years are up. It may happen quite suddenly. Just make sure that when it does, you don't regret it later. Things are often not as rosy when you're on the outside looking in.

To summarise, you may be wise to first seek a soul union with someone special before you both satisfy a biological urge for the sake of it. Of course, if you already have someone, it's all systems go. However, from the chart it seems your heart, mind and physical being work at cross-purposes to each other. So, make sure you know what you want before taking the plunge.
Will my neck injury be fully healed?
Neeta

Your neck injury seems to be quite severe and healing is slow, but steady. Although it bothered you at the time you asked the question, by now you should be seeing real progress. Visualise healing taking place at a molecular level on a daily basis and don't go head banging at the local club at the first signs of recovery. A sudden movement or other mishap in about two month's time may reveal a hidden weakness. You should be totally healed before six months is up. If this doesn't tally with your doctor's assessment, this horary needs to be re-checked.

Additional Comments

Is my nephew Sean happy where he is now?
N. Roll

You and Sean share a great affection for each other. This chart shows he will soon be happy or that relief is imminent. There is more information, but without speaking to you first, the astrologer risks making a number of wild assumptions that might lack tact.

How long will I live?
D. Thirumalai

The chart suggests that death is a strong preoccupation for you for reasons best not illuminated here. If you know that you haven't long to go, you should contact Harmonious Living and request free and proper analysis of this horary without delay.

The only time this question is valid is if you're terminally ill and wish to make arrangements. Otherwise, it's best not to know. Think only of the harm that such knowledge could have on you, especially if the astrologer gets it wrong. No astrologer, no matter how brilliant, is infallible. Down through the ages, even the best astrologers made mistakes.

Although ignorance is bliss when you're a perfectly healthy specimen, it's possible to arrive at a rough estimate of the month and year of death from the birth chart. Your exact birth time would be essential and your birth chart would then have to be cross-referenced for confirmation with your *progressed charts, your +solar returns and the horary. Not only would this involve an enormous amount of work, but there are also other obvious reasons why few astrologers feel up to the task.

*Progressed charts
A birth chart is progressed according to how old you are. In other words, if you were born a Leo in 1976, for example, by now your sign is already close to progressing out of Virgo and into Libra. All the planets progress and their movements can bring new eras with new meanings to bear every couple of months or so. These should be overlaid with the solar returns and your birth chart to locate a future event.

+Solar Returns
On your birthday, the sun returns to the same position it held at your birth. A new chart is drawn up for the exact moment this occurs for your current year. This provides information on how your particular new year will unfold.
