The question is

"Will I be smaller in 2009?" 1.32pm, London, 7/Dec/2008

My ruler Mars is in Sagittarius & combust However the Sun rules the 6th house of health & diet. Both planets are in the 8th.

Venus (Co-ruler as Taurus is intercepted in the 1st) is in the 11th & is separating from Jupiter (describes what has passed - weight gain)

Next co ruler Moon is in the 12th in Aries, deposited by me (Mars) & next aspect its going to make is a trine to Mars.

Help please, Im confused!

Hi, Montpellier
In general, horary (and tarot, etc) is used to ask things beyond our will and action.

Examples: "will I and X got together", "will my books arrive in time", "will I get the job", are all questions asked because they depend on another person will, work and decision.

I can?t marry X if X doesn?t like me, the arrival of my books depend of the mail, and the job depends of a boss.

So it?s a little confusing when we ask things like "will I loose weight", "will I be an better person", "will I overcome my depression", because they all depend, in a great way, of your own decisions and strenghts.

I am not saying that it can?t be answered, but in general this kind of questioning is confusing.... I think that this confusing reflects that you can?t at any time say "oh, well, let?s forget this diet" and then say "that horary was totally wrong"

I would see in the horary the strenght of the moon and asc ruler... if they are separating from jupiter or venus could be a good sign. I would like to see them in signs of fire and air, and nowhere close to signs of water.

Both rulers in fire signs as you have, can be a good thing, but I am not sure about the combustion, if it will help or hinder. It can literally mean that you will "burn", as in burning fat. But in general it means that the querent will do what he wants, and will ignore the advice. Anyway, I will go to the more optimistic view and say that the horary recommends exercise :-)

6th house is not "health" and saying that 6th is "diet" is a stretch.

Thanks yuzuru!
