Horary astrology is a type of astrology that is dependent on the current time when the query is heard and interpreted. Instead than looking at a natal chart, the astrologer creates a chart based on the querent’s “burning question of the hour.” Although it is quite intricate, the essentials are listed below. Try analyzing a horary chart using these criteria to see if you can get the hang of it.

In horary, what does the moon represent?
Aphorism 11: The Moon’s application discloses the current state of the object desired, i.e., her application to a good Planet by a good aspect and in a good house, infers the strong hopes of the thing meant.
Is a horary chart revolutionary?
The ancient division of day and night into 12 equal segments of time gave rise to the planetary hours tradition. The planets then dominate these intervals, known as hours, in a predictable and uninterrupted pattern (SA, JU, MA, SU, VE, ME,MO). The cycle continues from one day to the next, culminating in a massive revolution every seven days, with the order of rulerships for each day predetermined.
The names of the seven days of the week are derived from the planet that rules the first hour of each day, e.g., the Sun rules the first hour of Sunday, the Moon regulates the first hour of Monday, and so on. The Lord of the Day is then this planet.
It’s worth noting that the astrological day starts at sunrise. The day would still be Astrological Monday if you were born at 03.00 a.m. prior to sunrise Tuesday morning! Diurnal and nocturnal hours range in duration depending on the season. The only exception occurs at the vernal and autumn equinoxes, when the day and night are both the same length.
Planetary hours are calculated using the standard approach by dividing the time interval between Sunrise and Sunset in the appropriate place. Calculations may be tiresome if your computer does not do the work for you. However, by noting the Sun’s location by house, planetary hours can be estimated instantaneously, albeit only to a degree. The planetary hours begin at sunrise and end at sunset. There are two planetary hours in each house. By counting clockwise from the ascendant towards the section of the chart containing the Sun, the houses can be bisected and the right hour can be determined.
The traditional planetaryhours system reflects a Placedian time division and a house system. If you utilize Regiomontanus houses to determine your planetary hour, you won’t have to worry about it being out. Space-based planetary hours are possible! This is due to the fact that it makes no sense to build a chart with Regiomontanus houses (based on a division of space) and then enter the Placedian lord of the hour. The house system should be followed by the planetary hours!
The planets, sometimes known as angles, were once considered to hold office during those times when they were either lord of the day or lord of the planetary hour. At these periods, each planet would be effective in his naturalsignification’s affairs. Coley presents a list of procedures that can and cannot be conducted during the planetary hours on pages 271-273 of his “Key to the Whole Art of Astrology.” Such guidelines were carefully observed by ancient astrologers, who chose a good and opportune hour for assistance in achieving a particular aim.
1) The lord of the hour is the controller and guardian of all transactions that take place during that hour.
2) This same planet can’t and won’t work outside of the hours he’s in charge of.
3) He is not allowed to do something that is against his will.
Going to the baker when his business is closed, or to the butcher for the same bread, is both pointless. You can choose the Moon for pregnancy, but not Saturn, who will deny or prevent such an affair. The astrologer merely ensured that the necessities were delivered on time and to the correct address by paying attention to the planetary hours.
In his astrology profession, William Lilly was adamant about using the planetary hours. He claims that a horary chart is radical and fit to be judged when the lord of the hour and the lord of the Ascendant are of one triplicity or of the same nature on pages 121-122 of Christian Astrology. When the lord of the hour is honored in the ascendant, such as when he rules the ascendant, or when the sign is of his triplicity, Achart may be assessed.
Between the lord of the hour and the ascendant, some form of resonance or attunement is sought. If the attunement is discovered, the issue may progress due to the opening for the lord of the hour’s operations. If there is no such connection, the event must be characterized as a celestial instrument playing a stupid note. Nothing is possible without the help of the Lord of the Hour. This was a basic cautionary note before making a decision. Both the art and the impact are distorted by a muddy tone.
When the lord of the hour has dignities in the ascendant, either by rulership, triplicity, or, I add, exaltation, or when the ascendant is controlled by a planet with the same power as the lord of the hour, the chart is radical and worthy to be judged. This means that specific signs on the ascendant immediately qualify the chart for judgment for each of the planetary hours.
When the lord of the hour and the lord of the ascendant are in the same triplicity, the chart is also fit to be assessed. When the lord of the hour is in exact aspect to the ascendant or its ruler, the lord of the hour can relate to the present time, and the chart is suitable for judgment and performance. If, as ancientsinsist, the lord of the hour is so important for chart judgment, it should be able to pass judgment on thisplanet alone. The link to the ascendant, on the other hand, is crucial. While the answer to a horary issue may take some time to figure out, the planetary hour can often supply you with the approval or disapproval you seek instantly.
What is the best way to interpret a horary chart?
Horary as a system of divination is based on astrological ideas and applications that are often unique to the branch, but are consistent with broader astrological assertions. The moon’s location and aspects are quite important. The ruler of the sign the first house cusp falls on in the horoscope represents the person asking the question, or querent. In comparison to other branches of astrology, planetary aspects to the house cusps are given greater weight (although it is the planetary rulers of the houses in question that take precedence in analysis). The lunar nodes, planetary antiscia, fixed stars, and Arabic parts are also important elements in horary astrology.
A horary chart is typically read by first assigning the subject being inquired about, the quesited, to a specific house in the chart. The sixth house, for example, would be symbolized by the question “Where is my lost dog?” because it is the house that oversees little animals (traditionally, smaller than a goat). The sixth house’s house cusp will be in a specific sign, such as Libra. Because Venus rules Libra, the significator of the lost dog is Venus. The position of Venus in the horoscope will reveal information about the animal’s health, while its position in the horoscope will reveal information about its location.
What kind of horary questions may you ask?
Caradog suggests asking questions like “Will I obtain this exact job?” or “Where are my keys?” that have precise outcomes. Rather than asking questions like “Should I take this job?” or “When will I fall in love?”
“In theory, horary can answer any question if the inquiry is sufficiently focused, the questioner is asking honestly, and the astrologer is at ease and competent,” Caradog explains. “However, in actuality, there are some inquiries that horary cannot answer.” Every astrologer has their own methods and preferences, however Caradog claims that he exclusively answers queries concerning issues in people’s lives that he is already familiar with. “There are some inquiries I won’t take unless I have enough background on the case and a good level of connection with the querent, especially if it’s about a delicate subject like a funeral or illness,” he says. However, he adds that the fewer variables in a question, the easier it is to respond correctly.
What is the accuracy of Prashna kundali?
The Hindu Kundli has 12 houses, each of which represents different aspects and events in one’s life. Based on the principles of KP astrology, the houses are the most essential aspect of the Prashna Kundli.
- Happiness, age, physical beauty, and other factors are favored by the first house.
- The benefactor of wealth, family, and so on is the second house.
- The benefactor of the younger sister-brother, servant, heroism, and so on is the third house.
- Mother, land, knowledge, and other benefactors are represented by the fourth house.
- Children, pregnancy, education, love, and other aspects of life are favored by the fifth house.
- Disease, fear, adversary, competitiveness, debt, and other issues are all perceived via the sixth house.
- Marriage, wife or husband, love affair, commerce, transaction, and so on are all favored by the seventh house.
- The enemy’s loss, dispute, mental turmoil, and so on are all indicated by the eighth house.
- The benefactor of luck, religion, overseas travel, philanthropy, and so forth is the ninth house.
- Business, position, progress, work style, and so on are all represented by the tenth house.
- The benefactor of education, elder brother and sister, and so on is the eleventh house.
- The benefactor of change of location, enjoyment, benevolence, and so on is the twelfth house.
The most essential feature of Prashna Kundli based on Krishnamurti Paddhati, which distinguishes it from all other traditional systems, is that it is capable of providing an exact answer to any issue. In such a case, astrologers can predict with accuracy, based on this kundli, what time, hour, minutes, and seconds an event will occur. Yes! KP Astrologers on phone or chat can tell you the specific details of what is about to happen in seconds or even minutes.
Let’s say someone inquires about his wedding plans. Marriage is guaranteed in the horoscope if the 7th cusp sub lord is a significator of either 2,7,11 houses, according to the KP Rule. We must treat this sub lord as a separate planet and determine where it is dumped. If that star lord is likewise positive, the event will be 100 percent successful; otherwise, there may be negativity, which an experienced KP astrologer can easily discern.
What is the planetary hour of your birth?
In natal astrology, each of us is born at a specific “planetary hour,” which might provide useful information in determining the birth chart. In electional astrology, planetary hours can aid in determining the best time to engage in a specific activity. When interpreting the annual solar return for individuals in predictive astrology, the Persians used planetary hours as “lord of the orb.” We pay careful attention to the planetary hour at the moment the chart is cast in horary astrology to see if it is “radical” and capable of answering our issue. Horary Astrology: The Theory and Practice of Finding Lost Objects (Llewellyn, 2021), to quote from my most recent book:
The idea of planetary hours is thought to have originated with the Babylonians, who assigned each hour of the day to one of the classical seven visible planets in Chaldean order from slowest to fastest: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, and Moon. We now divide the day into 24 hours, each lasting exactly 60 minutes. However, ancient astrologers split the 24-hour day into day and night, and the times of daylight and darkness were further divided into 12 “hours” each. The length of each “hour” was not the standard 60 minutes we have today, but rather was determined by the total number of hours of daylight for daytime hours and darkness for nocturnal hours.
The names of the days of the week are derived from the planetary hours. We name a day “Sun day” if we start at sunrise on the first day of the week (“Sun day”) and assign the Sun to the first hour of the first day. The Sun will rise in the hour of the Moon twenty-four hours later (on the second day), giving us “Moon day.” The Sun will rise during a Mars hour on the third day, giving us “Tuesday”; a day later, the Sun will rise during a Mercury hour (“Wednesday”); and so on until the Sun rises during a Saturn hour on the seventh day, giving us “Saturn day.”
On each day of the week, the sequence of planetary hours is listed in the tables that follow. The planet that regulates the particular hour when you intend to perform something is the most crucial. The planets that regulate the 24-hour day period (beginning at sunrise) are also significant, and the planet that rules the hour of sunset should be considered for nocturnal activities.
Let’s look at an example to show how these tables can be used. At 8:30 a.m. on a Saturday morning in Connecticut, I’m writing this. I created the accompanying list of planetary hours for my location using the application SolarFire. You can find apps for cellphones and websites that will build such a list for your own location if you make an online search. It’s worth noting that 24-hour days are measured from sunrise to sunrise, not as calendar days.
The Sun rose at 7:14 a.m. on December 12, 2020, in my location. The planet Saturn dominates the first hour of the day, which begins at sunrise, because it is a Saturday. I’m writing this at 8:30 a.m., which is the second hour of the day, a Jupiter hour (from 7:59 am to 8:44 am). Because Saturn (the day’s ruler) represents discipline and serious thought, and Jupiter represents learning, teaching, and enlarged horizons, this is an excellent day to write. Furthermore, the Sun is transiting through the sign of Sagittarius, which is ruled by Jupiter, on this date (December 12th), providing an extra boost of solar vitality as the Sun passes through Jupiter’s sign from November 21st to December 21st each year.
