Astrology is such a vast subject, and this web-site deals primarily with only one small sub-division, known as Horary.

In general, Astrology as most lay-people know it, has become completely unrecognisable from its original state and a very brief history lesson is necessary in order to understand the background of this change in culture/consciousness.

Traditionally, Astrology started out on a mundane level where the ancients would look to the heavens to find correlations with events, circumstances and surroundings on earth. There was no concept of 'having your chart done' unless you happened to be the King, or some other prominent person.

Horary, one branch of Traditional Astrology, deals with precise questions, regarding a specific, unambiguous outcome, usually with a pre-defined timescale. For a detailed example of a previous Horary consultation, please refer to this month's Horary. Click this link for a consultation.

Modern Astrology is insightful and useful for telling us what we already know: the difficulties in our upbringing and how they carry forward into our relationships with others today; our talents; our fears; our basic character. In addition it can advise us on what particular facets of ourselves are being challenged/tested through what area of our life; how long this trend might last; whether it will get worse before better or vice versa.

However, when it comes to offering practical guidance where a definite way forward has to be taken and a decision made, based on unknown outcomes, Horary has definitely got it going on! This is why it is being offered here in preference to 'natal' Astrology.
