Horary or question-chart reading

Horary asks a defined question through the chart of an agreed question moment. Its significators and judgement rules belong to a particular tradition. A birth chart is not automatically a horary chart, and changing the question or timestamp can change the entire construction.

What you need

  • Question
  • Question time and place
  • Named judgement tradition

A reading workflow

  1. Write the exact question and the convention for its effective time and place.
  2. Identify the relevant houses and significators using the chosen text.
  3. Trace aspects, reception and other testimonies in that same system.
  4. State uncertainty and separate symbolic judgement from independently obtainable facts.

Use cases

  • Historical study of interrogational astrology
  • Low-stakes exploration of a clearly posed question

Where this approach stops

The engine has no complete horary judgement module. Do not use it to diagnose illness, accuse another person, establish hidden facts or replace available evidence.

Sources behind the approach

  1. John Frawley: Horary Astrology ↗original practitioner teaching
  2. William Lilly: Christian Astrology (1647) ↗historical primary text

The workflow is an educational synthesis. Its references establish context and conventions; they do not validate all possible readings.
