Horary astrology. Anna Ungar, Lillian Huber.
INTRODUCTION
Horary astrology is a form of ancient astrology. It helps to find answers to questions at the time of building astrological charts. Many rules of horary astrology are difficult to understand, but at the same time, a certain part of the information is useful for modern life.
Our task is to help introduce the practice of horary astrology for contemporaries.
We have deeply explored this topic and in the course of the study we have identified the logical reasons for the rules of ancient horary astrology, and also introduced new approaches to the interpretation of the system of astrological houses. We have gained a clear understanding of the various methods used in horary astrology by which contemporary problems can be identified.
The success of astrologers in reading horary charts lies in correctly finding the appropriate house in which the question of interest is placed, and determining the significators (planetary rulers of houses). Wrong choice of significators will lead to incorrect reading of horary charts. Astrologers, however, are often ready to argue about the rulers of the houses, and many of these disputes have not been resolved to this day.
We have researched a large number of sources and tried to combine different opinions using our own judgment. When establishing the basic logic for a large number of procedures in horary astrology, we have always taken into account the logic of the contested party. Without feeling like a qualified arbiter among astrologers, we at least hope to shed some light on the controversial issues.
Although the topic of this book is horary astrology, it will be useful to anyone studying astrology. The beginner will find it invaluable as a book containing a set of rules for astrology. The beginner will find it easy to understand the rules of horary astrology, as they are clearly and consistently stated, and this will help him in the future to understand the often complex and archaic language of the ancients in horary astrology.
An astrologer who wants to become more proficient in practical horary astrology will be given ready guidance in placing the appropriate significator when answering a question. In addition, a new understanding of the derived house system and the application of a stepwise analysis system will help in choosing respective houses.
Our primary goal was to compile a dictionary of horary astrology by placing a set of rules in such a way that the astrologer would find the corresponding significators with a high degree of accuracy. We hope we succeeded.
Horary astrology is not as difficult to understand as it seems at first glance. However, the analysis of ancient science requires some deepening. In this regard, we are planning the release of the next book, which will complement this one and pay more attention to some of the beautiful nuances of our lives.
Horary astrology is a topic of ongoing research. We invite the reader to get in touch with us to accept or challenge our opinion in the interpretation of various aspects of horary astrology.

Part I
HORARY ASTROLOGY.
The Chaldeans of Babylon, whose civilization dates back to the 18th century BC, are credited with the creation of astrology. Astrology was regarded by the Chaldeans as a religion, and the divine principle was assigned to the planets. The Chaldeans believed that the planet-gods are constantly in heaven and control the life of a person, and the messages of the gods can be read by the arrangement of the stars.
Observing visible astronomical bodies, ancient people perceived them as gods, influencing both individuals and entire nations. The oldest form of astrology predicted the fatal inevitability of events. Horary astrology is the oldest form of astrology. She gives answers to questions, analyzing the specific circumstances of life. Therefore, the consideration of horary charts takes on a certain vital importance for modern man. Horary astrology is based on the properties of dualism that exists in the outside world. The action of contradictions is evident when we consider night and day, man and woman, positive and negative. The existence of a problem presupposes its solution. The existence of a question implies that there is an answer to that question. In accordance with the principle of horary astrology, this answer can be read in horary charts compiled at the time the question arose.

A horary chart is built on the same principle as a catal one, using the date, time and coordinates of the place at the moment when the event of interest to us took place. If these data are not defined, the astrologer should use date, time and coordinates of the place at the moment when the question is formulated.

Horary astrology was formed at a time when life was difficult, and people believed that what was happening to them was a freak of nature. Therefore, in contrast to the natal interpretation, the horary interpretation is characterized by strict limitations and the most obvious subjectivism.

The first and most important rule of horary astrology is that the person asking the question must have a sincere need to get an answer. If this need does not exist, the map may contain conditions that make it unreadable.

In general, the horary chart has an effect that limits its use to a period of approximately three months. The limitation is due to the nature of the question. Matters that include changing conditions in the immediate future will be dealt with within this three-month time limit. The question may not be asked again within this time period, even if it is slightly modified to give a broader or more acceptable answer.

Responses to questions that have a longer validity period are limited by the nature of the question. For example, the question "Will I sell my house?" is a question that has a time limit of three months. The question "Will my book sell well next year?" obviously has a longer duration; three months. At the same time, questions that depend on the psychological interpretation of what is being asked are too broad for stylistic astrology. For example, the question "Will our son be happily married?" is a matter that does not correspond to horary astrology. Happiness is a subjective concept.

Aspects of the planets are important in horary astrology, since their analysis also provides an answer to the question posed. In horary astrology, only the main (major) aspects are considered, which include conjunction (0°), square (90°), trine (120°), opposition (180°), sextile (60°). Some astrologers place great emphasis on the quincunx, parallel and counterparallel aspects. In our opinion, these aspects should be considered. In our practice, the parallel and counter-parallel aspects are of particular importance.

Due to the fact that the horary chart is oriented towards the consideration of the future, the orbis can be wider. We generally use 10° for conjunction, square, trine, and opposition; 7° for sextile and quincunx and up to one degree for parallel and counterparallel aspects. However, we prefer to be more flexible in considering orbs and often increase them in a chart where the Sun, Moon, Mercury are included. There are some situations where aspects are treated in a special way, as will be discussed below.

The Moon is considered in all aspects during its stay in the sign. If the Moon is at the end of a sign, its aspects are considered in the next sign.

The person asking the question is called the querent. Question and querent are ruled by the 1st house of the horary chart. The planet that rules the sign in the 1st house is the significator or ruler of the querent and question. Planets in the 1st house are seen as co-rulers. The Moon in the horary chart is co-ruler of both the question and the querent.

The person about whom the question is asked, we will call quesited * (English quesited). The astrologer must establish the house in the horary chart that governs that person. The planet that rules the sign in this house is the significator or ruler of the quesitid. The planets of this house are co-rulers.

The question that the querent asks is called the goal. The planet that rules the sign in the house of question is the significator of purpose. Planets in the same house are co-significators of the goal. The house of the goal is determined by the nature of the question. If the question contains anything about the querent, then the "direct houses" system is used. For example, if the querent asks about the 10th house of the 1st, then this is the target house (in Part IV, the direct house is indicated by the symbol *). If the question includes anything about the quesitide, then the "derived method" is used. For example, if the querent asks about the spouse, the 10th house of the 7th house, then the howl house (4th house) is chosen.

Consider, for example, the question of whether a child will be rewarded. The first house will govern the querent and the question itself. The planets of the 1st house and the Moon will be the significators of the question. The fifth house will rule the quesitid (child). Thus the planets of the 5th house will be the significators of the quesitid. The second house (10th of the 5th) will govern the purpose (the reward of the child). 2nd house planets will all be target significators.

Usually a trine or sextile between the lords of the querent and the quesitid, or in a system of derived houses between the lords of the quesitid and the target, indicates a favorable outcome of the event. At the same time, opposition and quincunx indicate an unfavorable outcome. The conjunction is viewed somewhat differently: the outcome is both favorable and
