Predicting the arrival of a COVID test result
I love it when they’re this simple, so I figure it might be a good example! I’m green/Venus, the quesited is red/Mars (as a medical test result). I debated 3rd from 7th as ‘letter from X’, but sometimes it’s just a case of ‘contact’. Also, there was a near-guarantee of the results arriving during the day, and Mercury’s timing with the Moon would have resulted in a 2am message. Sometimes common sense has to prevail! Two minutes of arc to conjunction between Venus and Mars. Sometimes minutes (as opposed to degrees) mean ‘right away’, but that was impossible so I took them as ‘units’, like with degrees. Fixed sign, angular house = days, based on the possible chart units. Chart cast after lunch two days ago, result came at 12:45 today. I won’t sniff at an hour and 15 minutes off exact timing!
