One of horary astrology’s most lauded uses is finding lost things, which is great because I lose things a lot. In this case, the watch I could swear I had been wearing just hours before discovering it was missing. The great thing about lost object charts is many are very simple to work with.
Which planet is the watch?
Between Lord 2, Venus (personal possessions) and Lord 4, Jupiter (‘buried’ things), neither described the watch perfectly – it’s black and silver, has a few ‘smart’ features like step counting and ECG but isn’t overly fancy, nor a thing of beauty. Luckily, the Part of Fortune – which can show desire – sat close enough to the 4th Cusp to nudge me in that direction. So, Jupiter to start – found in the 5th House in Aquarius.
Where could it be?
At the point, it’s a game of making lists – possible locations by House attribution, tempered by sign and aspects to other planets. So:
- House 5 can show spaces for recreation, sports, children and similar things.
- Aquarius is an air sign, showing the object is likely up off the ground, and fixed which suggests it’s not on the move.
There were no immediately applying aspects between myself (Mercury) and either Venus or Jupiter. However, the Moon, sometimes seen as general significator of lost things, applied sextile to Mercury and later met Jupiter by sextile, having to get around a square to the Sun to do so.
Where was it?
The watch was found (after several rounds of insisting I’d already looked there) in the bag I keep my martial arts (my main exercise-based hobby) gear in. The bag sits, when not in use, on top of a dresser in the far corner of one of the bedrooms.
So – in with the things I use for recreation, up off the ground. Sorted!
