HORARY OF THE MONTH !!
This month's featured Horary question is: 'Will we get together in the next six months?'.

Here is the chart, which was drawn up on 20 June 2004 at 8.40 p.m. BST in Edinburgh - 55 N 57, 3 W 13.

As the client is a student/practitioner of Astrology, What you see below is an extract from what the client has been given, in order to make sense to the lay-person. If you are an astrologer and wish to see the full interpretation with my notes/explanations regarding these comments click here to see the expanded version of this interpretation.

When we are looking at this question we need three things: Strengths of the planetary significators involved; links between significators; significators showing they like each other in some sort of way.

In terms of strength, I say neither of you is doing particularly well I'm afraid.

Looking at your significator, you are opposed by a 'shadow' placement, which usually shows something happening behind the scenes, under the surface, covertly, perhaps even underhand, and maybe with some hidden motives. All the cards may not be on the table.

The significator of this 'shadow' placement may denote your possessions, i.e. money. An alternative significator of this placement could in relationship charts show the influence of an ex hanging over the shoulder. However, as this is beside the point of the chart denoting the person you are enquiring about, this could be HER ex secretly still lurking around and in this case he would be detrimental to your case.

Looking at the links between significators (aspects), there is one happening as we speak showing that you may be having contact with this person just now but the aspect is a difficult one which shows that if you get together it is not going to be without much trouble - either in getting there in the first place or once you do get together.

The other thing is that there is a 'mixed message' coming out of this with how the significators feel about each other. On the one hand you feel what amounts to a very strong liking - but on the other hand you are shown to be greatly disappointed and possibly you could feel hurt by her in some way.

Also it looks like she quite likes you but is also shown to be harmed by you. This whole interaction smacks of a real 'love hate power struggle' I'm afraid.

Another thing to watch for is that she does not look likely to come running and you would have to do a significant amount of chasing. The side of a woman that can easily be scorned and wants to be wined, dined and romanced is very firmly in place, so if you are not prepared to do this and do it well and a lot of it then you don't stand much a chance!

There is also an indication of some hidden concerns with money.

However, on a positive note, her more rational, practical side, STRONGLY likes you in a very genuine way and also prizes what you have to offer, physically and in practical terms.

All in all I think there is a chance, but to be honest, you will really have to play your cards right and it won't be easy.

There is an indication of you getting your chance - maybe in around 9 weeks from the time of this question, perhaps a little over. However, I don't want to build up your hopes and this may in fact just be the occasion when you realise how hard you would have to work for this.

What you say really describes the situation very well! Some more specific comments below.

Thanks very much for doing this - aside from obviously being pretty interested in the answer it's been interesting to find out a bit more about horary.

I must admit I was a little sceptical about horary before but I'll definitely look into it more now.

Nice bit of interpretation, I'm impressed!

Horary's good, hey?
