Is it too late to comment? Has there been any news on the cat?

I had a beloved cat go missing over twenty years ago. I covered the neighborhood with posters and walked around looking for him so much that I had blisters on my feet. I was lead on a lot of wild goose chases by well meaning but near-sighted people before finally the cat turned up, safe and well, albeit skinny. He was trapped in an abandoned apartment for nine days with no food and water but he lived another 15 years. He rarely left my side after that.

I say that as encouragement. Cats don't just vanish. Something has happened and at least in Virginia here, they catalog every dead cat body that they find, grizzly as this is. Again, they don't just vanish. Dogs vanish but cat don't. The cat is probably nearby, just confined or something.

That's not astrology though. Don't do multiple charts. Ever. You have your first chart and that's the only one I'd be interested in seeing. Unless you thought about doing a horary the moment that you found out the cat was missing, that wouldn't be a valid time. That's been my experience at least.

Lilly's stricture about an afflicted 7th house only pertains when you are the astrologer, presumably paid, who has clients. In those cases the customer is always the ASC while the astrologer is the 7th. Lilly only says that in these cases the customers don't believe the astrologer. You should try to understand why these things are said and not see them as mere formulas. An afflicted 7th is bad for you when you are represented by the 7th, which you can never be when you are the one asking the question.
