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 unsurprising – the UK is in the midst of a major postal strike so a full 6th house shows everything snarled up.
The seller is turned Lord 7 from House 3, Jupiter at 0° Aries 17’ in House 10. The parcel, the possession of the seller is their turned Lord 2, also Jupiter. It’s very much in motion in cardinal Aries and angular House 10 but sits inside turned House 8 – still far closer to in their possession that hers.
Aspects
Mercury and Jupiter do not form any unprohibited aspects bodily, by antiscion, or through translation or collection of light. The parcel makes no connection to the sister, so it will not arrive in the stated time frame.
Result
The parcel did not arrive (24th December).
