On his website, Martin Gamsten remarks that he cannot quite attribute to Saturn the health difficulties Robert Zoller faced in his life, since the planet is not that prominent in his chart. After all, the 1st House (vita, health) is ruled by Jupiter in Scorpio, the great benefic in a relative good state. Plus, the…
From a horary astrology perspective, I wanted to understand why Ilia Malinin, the favourite for gold in the men’s short program at the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, failed in what many consider a true debacle. He himself stated that everything was due to the pressure of having to live up to expectations. After the event,…
Simple horary to know whether I will go to the theatre today after being invited. The 1st House is Virgo, so I am Mercury. Mercury is in Pisces in the 7th, in detriment and fall, which describes well my disposition and current state, not really wanting to go. I also assign myself the Moon, which…
I want to know whether my guitar teacher will win a public competition next weekend, decided by a jury. Since he is a teacher, he could be associated with the 9th house, but, because he is my teacher, I take him as belonging to the 7th house. The 7th house is Aries, therefore the significator…
Leo Tolstoy was born into a wealthy family, landowners integrated within the Russian nobility. This at first appears to conflict with Saturn as the significator of the 2nd House, especially because it is in poor essential condition, being in detriment in Leo. Saturn is cold, dry, melancholic and deadly. Leo is hot, dry, solar, vital…
Horary Astrology can be applied to any kind of question, including those that concern our own inner state. Today I feel particularly unmotivated. It is not simply a case of a blue Monday, but more like inner depletion. I decided to analyse myself through a horary chart. The Ascendant is in Leo, so I am…
I cast a horary chart for a bus journey back home taking place today, with an estimated duration of four hours. The question concerned the quality of the journey itself. The Ascendant is in Cancer, therefore I am signified by the Moon. The Moon is in Sagittarius in the 6th house, a house of wear…
António Quadros was a Portuguese philosopher and historian. António Telmo, his fraternal friend, says that Quadros felt unhappy upon being told that his horoscope was of a lunar spirit. The reason is an extremely dense stellium in the 2nd house in Cancer, with the New Moon in domicile. I checked the natal chart of António…
A querent was interested in acquiring a new house but was concerned about certain signs of wear observed in the property itself. He asked me to cast a horary chart to assess the situation. The Ascendant is in Aquarius, so Saturn signifies the querent. Saturn is in the 11th house, in Sagittarius. This shows that…
Today I decided to attend the Catholic Eucharist as an exercise in contemplation. The Roman Catholic rite, especially after the Second Vatican Council, became excessively explanatory and catechetical, and the symbol has been diluted to the point where its esoteric dimension is almost never felt, leaving mostly the exoteric and parochial level. Interestingly, the Mass…
