HORARY OF THE MONTH !!
This month's featured Horary question is: 'Is my daughter's father going to enter back in my life to be a family and if so, when??'.

Here is the chart, which was drawn up on 9 September 2004 at 11.32 p.m. BST in Edinburgh - 55 N 57, 3 W 13.

Here is what I have to say. What you see below is what the client has been given. If you are an astrologer and wish to see my notes/explanations regarding these comments click here to see the expanded version of this interpretation.

Looking at this, I get the impression there are really two issues here, if you like. One is getting together with this man and the other is having a stable relationship with someone dependable, reliable and trustworthy.

Unfortunately, this chart is not looking too good for stability.

There are indications that you are perhaps bearing up very well emotionally considering the circumstances.

It also looks like there may be some financial difficulty (as I think you had hinted at that in a previous posting).

This man's logical rational side shows very willing and keen to be part of your life and settled in a relationship. However the significator of the good old male ego is perhaps not so keen to settle. In addition his male ego may not like another man filling his shoes and will be keen to be involved with the child.

It looks like you may have 'lost the head' with him verbally and, again his ego is disappointed at this lack of rationale.

His significator is about to join together with another planetary significator and I am wondering if this is the other woman which you had mentioned.

The chart does show contact between you and him, but instigated by you, however as I say shortly after that there looks to be contact between him and the other woman. So even if this aspect did indicate you being together, as I say, the issue of stability or reliability is not there.

Also it looks to be quite destructive with the other woman - I wonder if she is a bit overpowering/controlling in some way.

Looking at the significator of the child, Mercuy is conjunct 'Part of Fortune', indicating 'the treasure you seek', however it seems to depict, for me, the 'cards in your hand' which you can use to get the treasure you seek. Therefore the reality is that having the child (whilst of course this is a treasure in itself) is giving you help in stabilising the relationship. There is an indication here that the father may feel he has some 'rulership' over your child. Unfortunately, this situation changes, very shortly, and I therefore don't see this rulership being maintained. In addition when this happens these 'cards in your hand' seem to be weakened in some way.

So although there are strong feelings there and a willingness to be part of your and your child's life, I think a) he is in a bad way financially and b) his ego/macho side is not finding it easy to settle and has also been dented by some verbal outburst by you, or perhaps some other form of what he would see as 'irrational behaviour'.

I can't really see any indication of things changing for the better either.

I hope all is well with you and sorry things aren't looking more settled.

I went to the library to get a few books on Horary astrology. Wow, you have to be pretty well read in order to do this. It does not prove to be very easy. It did enlighten more on what is involved and how accurate the results can be. Thank you!!

This statement is true.

I am bearing up better than I thought after being hit with what I was hit with.

He does and has always said that he was in a bad way financially.

I have 'lost the head' with him on several occasions. He feels that I am being irrational ...'

I then asked him if he was still in contact with the other woman and he told me yes.

I really appreciate it more than you would ever know. I am eternally grateful. Because this helps me to see and face what I was already feeling.
