Hi Rammu, Congratulations on your prediction for the first cricket final between Australia and England. I was hoping you were right but had my doubts. I would be interested to know what led you to the conclusion that England would win because it would not have been an obvious choice non-astrological...

Hi Moondance, We never stop learning in some way, even those of us who have been doing this for years. Trying to figure out which houses to use is one of the biggest steps in learning horary(which is why Deb's book 'Houses' is so crucial). You can only do that by knowing the relationship of the quer...

I don't know if Donald is someone she's carrying on with, a relative, or a friend. I am not sure that it gets more confusing than this. You cannot possibly hope to read a horary chart without knowing the relationship of those involved. Horary is not fortune telling. The more information you have ab...

Hi Scorpio, Sorry it didn't work out. Jupiter could well represent money being the ruler of his 2nd house, your 8th. Mercury is the ruler of your 2nd house and is in his 1st house, his desire for your money. This may be representative of the Sun and Jupiter perfecting the aspect before Sun/Saturn. Y...

Sorry, as before, I disagree with the use of the 2nd house. I agree with your use of the 3rd house 1000camels. The car, in this case, is third house. You are talking specifically about the condition of your car. The physical car is 3rd house. If you are talking about the costs etc, or if you were as...

Hi Moondance, You may well be a hopeless romantic and there is certainly nothing wrong with that. It is probably better than outright cinicism. But sometimes a little realism doesn't hurt either. Frawley says the retrograde significator does show the person trying to backtrack and reconcile, No one ...

Hi Scorpio, I pretty much agree with your assessment of this chart. I think the potential is there for a reconcilliation but that it is not the best idea. I am always wary of retrograde significators because even though the planet of the quesited is also applying to the querent (unlike where both pl...

That is very impressive, Andrew. A great story. I'll bet your client was impressed. Of course, you could not get me to bungy jump, even if they offered me that ?20,000.

Hi Kriss, Yes, the early 'ascendant is a consideration before judgement'. None of the considerations stop you from reading the chart if you want to but usually they are a message in themselves that proceeding is not the best option. This consideration, along with a late ascendant, is one I pay atten...

Well, then, American academics should consider themselves very fortunate. As someone who confronts it every day, I can assure you that it is currently the opposite in Australia. It is similar in the UK although I do not know to what extent. I am presuming that the university system in the US is larg...

I was taught by Deb that this condition means rather that the querent is very interested in the other person, that, in and of itself, it is not an indication of marriage. Hi Alanna, I don't think you missed anything. Without seeing the chart it sounds as if your interpretation was quite correct. Li...

Astraea, I think your best bet is probably Deb's suggestion. That way, if you feel that you cannot live without the book, you can order it later and know what you are getting. I often do this. I try to make a rule for myself that I won't purchase books that are in my university library (literally fi...
