Will the Pope die in the next few days?

30 March 2024, 10:21 pm Context Pope Francis cancelled a number of Easter engagements due to ill health, under the premise of being able to attend more important ones. He is reported to suffer from repeated bouts of bronchitis and other respiratory illnesses. I wondered if his ill health was more serious than reported, so cast this chart. Interpretation Pope Francis is a well-known religious leader, Lord 9, The Moon at 13° 56’ of Sagittarius. It sits in the turned 6th house from house 9, showing a focus on illness for the Pope at this time. In death charts, both radical and turned Lord 8 come into play – contact with either tends to give a ‘yes’. Radical Lord 8 is Mercury at 26° 58′ of Aries. Turned Lord 8 is Jupiter at 17° 7′ of Taurus. Pope Francis’ significator, the Moon, will square Venus before making any contact with

Horary Astrology – How will I do in my exams?

Context The querent, a young person sitting a series of intense exams, the result of which will have a major impact on their future at university and eventual career. The question is about their exams in general, so an overall judgment can be given – an average. Interpretation Significators, Dignities and Reception The querent is Lord 1, Mercury, at 23° Capricorn 40′ in House 9 and the Moon at 19° Aquarius 22′ in House 10. As the exams are above elementary level, they are represented by Lord 9, Saturn at 21° Aquarius 53′, sitting on the cusp of House 11. Unsurprisingly, the querent is very focussed on the exams, with both their significators in Saturn’s dignities and Mercury just inside the 9th cusp. As well as the exam itself, Lord 9 represents the querent’s knowledge which, in its own dignity, is good. As Saturn sits well above the horizon we

'When will the train arrive?' Horary chart

What time will the train arrive?

Context The Metro in the city where I work was mostly down. I’d been told it was still going to my stop by an attendant. There were no screens to say when the next train was due, and I was on the verge of leaving and walking to the office instead. So, to see if it was worth waiting, I decided to cast a chart: Interpretation Lord 1, the Moon, is me. The train forms part of my commute, so is Lord 3, the Sun. The condition of the train is irrelevant – I know they’re running to where I need to go, albeit delayed. Receptions are also irrelevant, but we know I want the train to come, as the Moon in Lord 3’s domicile shows us. It also shows me under Lord 3’s power – reliant on the train. Here, the aspect is all that’s important – the Moon

Both the querent and the other person are men, and had agreed to meet for an initial in-person date. The chart was cast on 3rd February 2023 at 5:35pm. Who is who? The querent is represented by the ruler of House 1. As the cusp of House 1 is in Leo, this is the Sun, situated at 14° Aquarius 36′.

Will the parcel arrive before Christmas?

Horary astrology is a fantastic method for finding out if and when a parcel will be delivered, whether they are snarled up, delayed or lost entirely. The querent is from the UK, and was under pressure thanks to ongoing postal strikes and delivery delays. Background The querent’s sister was expecting a parcel containing a Christmas gift for another family member, and was concerned it would not arrive in time.  Interpretation The sister is Lord 3, Mercury 21° Capricorn 46’ in House 6. Her own essential dignity is not relevant, but being in House 6 means weak accidental dignity shows her lack of power to change things – she cannot speed up the delivery. Her significator is in House 6, with a focus on service providers (here the delivery service) and the house is packed – the Sun, the Moon in detriment, Venus, Mercury and Pluto are all here. This is

Horary astrology chart predicting the weather for Lughnasadh

Weather prediction for Lughnasadh

Chart: 30th July 2021 5:06pm GMT+1 Weather is one of the simplest facets of horary astrology, and is essentially purely descriptive – no need for aspects to apply, complex relationships between significators or much more than the analysis of one planet. Lughnasadh is a pagan religious festival, celebrating the beginning of the harvest festival, one of the cardinal points of the year. As such, there’s a certain expectation of pleasant weather, but early in the day it was cloudy, with a decent chance of rain. For simple convenience, I decided to find out if we’d need to worry about waterproof clothing. Significators Lughnasadh, a religious festival, is represented by House 9, here in Leo (♌︎), meaning that the festival itself is signified by the Sun (☉). This is the only significator we need to judge the weather, really. Judgment The Sun sits in Leo, a fixed fire sign. This tells

Horary Will we reconcile

Will we reconcile and rekindle our romance?

Chart date: 22 June 2022 Background The querent’s ex partner has been in a long-distance relationship with someone new for seven months. The querent is of the opinion that they never truly split up, and is angry that her ex has moved on. They still talk, and occasionally visit with one another, which the querent sees almost as a continuation of their relationship. She claims to still love him and doesn’t want to give up on the possibility of a relationship. Interpretation The querent is the Sun, Lord 1, sitting in Cancer in House 11. She is also the Moon in Aries just inside the 10th House and Venus right at the end of Taurus in the 11th. Her partner/ex partner is Saturn, retrograde in Aquarius and just moving away from the 8th cusp further into the 7th House. The Part of Marriage The Arabic Part of Marriage is in

Horary Will the government call an early general election

Will the UK government call an early general election?

Chart date: 22 June 2022 Background In the political chaos of the UK in 2022, things just keep getting spicier. Kier Starmer, leader of Labour, was accused of breaking COVID lockdown rules. Rumours said that the governing party, the Conservatives, would call a snap general election if he resigned over it. The Conservatives pressured Labour on social media and in person to try and harm their poll ratings. This is a complex question with many moving parts, but was wonderfully simple to interpret. Interpretation The Conservatives are the currently in power, so are Lord 10, ‘the king’. They are Venus. In the chart, they have dignity in Taurus so clearly the smear campaign was having an effect. They had recently moved into House 6. In politics charts, we can take the Moon as the people – the electorate. This fits, as the Conservatives in Taurus exalt the people, wanting their
