In the course notes for Deb's Horary Astrology course, she doesn't list lack of hour agreement as a consideration before judgment, just says that hour agreement is an indication that the chart is radical.

Here's my question: How important is planetary hour agreement to the radical-ness (radicality?) of the chart?

Even Lilly seemed to be inconsistent with his use of planetary hours and not all of his charts even mention the use, I believe. I've done radical charts with and without hour agreement, but having agreement seems to indicate a greater potency in the chart. Not having agreement doesn't mean the chart isn't radical, if all other considerations add up; it just adds depth. I think...

Thanks, archergirl. That confirms what I thought. I remember Deb said when teaching the course that she doesn't place much emphasis on planetary hour. It's just that when you get a chart that's not sparkling clear and yet has no grave considerations against judgment either, it's nice to have that little extra confirmation that the chart is radical.

Anyone got any answers to my first question about planetary hour agreement? (See question below this one.)
