I have always been fascinated by Horary Astrology, inasmuch as its most basic assumption seem so unbelievably simple that one wonders how it could possibly work. Yet, it does! In fact, it works almost flawlessly in so many situations that it becomes important for us to take a step back and see why, and this, in and of itself puts us in a mindset to understand something very special about ourselves and the universe we live in.

Horary Astrology differs from Natal Astrology in that it does not concern itself with the birth of individuals. Instead, it addresses a question and formulates a chart based on when and where the question was asked. In other words, the entire assumption that Horary Astrology is based on is that whatever causes someone to ask a question comes from the forces that created the consciousness to ask it.

Thus, the universe is somehow prompting one to ask something in lieu of asking something else. Strangely enough, there is a peculiar sort of logic to this, that seems to have infinite truth to it.

At any given time, the universe is in a state of change. Things are always becoming, changing, and evolving into new things, new ideas, and new consciousness that becomes our ever-unfolding future. Thus, the flowing forces of nature are ever prompting our behavior and actions as well as reactions to our environment and how we function in it.

Consider a man in a snowstorm. Feeling cold, he asks the question, "When will the weather change?"

Horary Astrology would draw a chart for the time of the question, which would show the forces that prompted the question, and could easily see if these are transient forces, or long duration forces, and from this have some clues as to how to answer the question.

In another example (not weather-related) a person might want to know something about a decision they are trying to make with their life. A horoary chart would show the forces that prompted their question. Seeing where these planets will move by transits and progressions holds the clues to the answer.

It is amazingly simple, yet profoundly fascinating in how horary astrology can tune in on the specific answers without even looking to the past. What if you have questions on your mind now? If you could look up where the planets are transiting today, you would find some clues to your answer.
