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. Click here to return to the standard version of this page, ommitting the Astrological derivations.

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.

Given that the Asc/Desc are both Cardinal and the rulers, Moon and Saturn are also in Cardinal signs, this is not looking too good for stability.

The ruler of the asc. is Moon of course and it is in its own sign, showing you are perhaps bearing up very well emotionally considering the circumstances.

You are conjunct Saturn which is his main signififcator and it is in detriment, both beside the 2nd cusp, which may show financial difficulty (as I think you had hinted at that in a previous posting).

Saturn is his logical rational side and it shows very willing and keen to be part of your life and settled in a relationship. It is in the rulership of the Moon. However the Sun is the good old male ego and it is perhaps not so keen to settle. This is shown by the Part of Marriage in Sag, ruled by Jupiter and Saturn exalts Jupiter, while Sun is in detriment of Jupiter. However the Sun is in rulership and exaltation of Mercury, 5th ruler = child, so likewise his male ego may not like another man filling his shoes and will be keen to be involved.

The other significator for you is Venus and as it is conjunct Caput Algol by antiscion and close to third cusp I wonder if you perhaps 'lost the head' with him verbally and as Sun is in fall of Venus, again his ego is disappointed at this lack of rationale.

The Sun is about to perfect a conjunction with Mars and I am wondering if this is the other woman which you had mentioned.

The Moon is about to perfect the conjunction with Saturn showing contact between you 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.

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

Looking at the 5th ruler for the child, Mercuy is conjunct Part of Fortune. Part of Fortune is described as 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. One negative indication here is that currently Mercury is governed by Sun (as it is in Leo) showing that the father feels he has some 'rulership' over your child. When this moves, very shortly, into Mercury, it is in it's own sign and I don't see this as being a strong indication that he is going to maintain this 'rulership'. In addition when this happens the conjunction between Mercury and Part of Fortune is no longer valid.

So although 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 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.
