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…
I cast a horary on a municipal matter. A local resident decided to advance a project to the city council for a vote, concerning the redevelopment of an area of my neighbourhood, inclduing new green spaces. I decided to chec whether the proposal had any chance of passing in the municipal assembly. I assigned her…
Yesterday I had a conversation about astrology with someone interested in the subject. Today I cast a horary chart to understand the aftermath of what took place. The Ascendant is Gemini, so I am signified by Mercury. Mercury is in the 9th house, the house of Astrology (of course!), in Pisces, in detriment and fall,…
The querent asked whether a person he recently met will contact him again within 30 days. The querent is the 1st house Pisces, ruled by Jupiter, placed in the 1st in Aries. The other person is the 7th house, Virgo, ruled by Mercury, which is retrograde in the 12th in Pisces. Mercury is hidden in…
I decided to take a look at whether a friend is upset with me, because he has not been replying to my messages. The 1st house is me. Leo rises, so my significator is the Sun. I also take the Moon as my co-significator. The Sun is in Aquarius, in detriment, in the 6th house.…
A client asked me whether a friend of hers, whom I will call Anna, would be able to find work abroad. There was real concern, because Anna’s situation was difficult and the idea of leaving the country appeared as a possible solution. I cast the horary chart for the exact moment of the question was…
I received a horary question about whether the querent was capable of participating in and winning a television competition taking place over the coming weekend. The show involves simple but physically demanding challenges, and the querent was still recovering from a minor injury. The Ascendant at 19 degrees Leo confirmed the chart’s radicality, making the…
The querent’s question was simple: he wished to know whether he should, or even could, re-establish contact with a friend with whom he had abruptly severed relations several months earlier. At the moment the chart was cast, Pisces rose on the Ascendant, making Jupiter the significator of the querent. Pisces, a Water sign and feminine…
Lately I have been devoting attention to horary astrology. One of the first questions I received came from a lawyer who wished to know whether one of her clients would return to her. The Ascendant was at 8 degrees of Gemini, a position which, although still early, does not invalidate the judgement. Very early degrees…
